2008-10-15- Pascal Terjan filed bug #2154627Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal function in libcurl (called Curl_ascii_equal) for doing case insentive comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file" and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.

2008-10-09Fixed the --interface option to work with IPv6 connections on glibcDan Fandrich
systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6 address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it involved a name lookup.
2008-10-08- Bug #2152270 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2152270) identified andDaniel Stenberg
fixed a CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing: Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing the process potentially. Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.
2008-10-08- Igor filed bug #2111613 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2111613) thatDaniel Stenberg
eventually identified a flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases missed to call the timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and added within the same millisecond.
2008-10-08- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options toDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
2008-10-07- Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A thenDaniel Stenberg
the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report the info from host B.

2008-09-30- The libcurl FTP code now returns CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND error when SIZEDaniel Stenberg
gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
2008-09-29- Daniel Egger provided a patch that allows you to disable proxy support inDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to somewhat reduce the size of the binary. Run configure --disable-proxy.
2008-09-29- Ian Lynagh provided a patch that now makes CURLOPT_RANGE work fine for SFTPDaniel Stenberg

2008-09-29- Bug #2107803 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107803) "noDaniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL in multi mode" also contained a patch that fixed the problem.
2008-09-25give proper credit!Daniel Stenberg
2008-09-25- Fixed the HTTP Digest auth code to not behave badly when getting a blank realmDaniel Stenberg
with realm="". http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2126435
2008-09-23- Introducing Jamie Lokier's function for date to epoch conversion used in theDaniel Stenberg
date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system- provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no longer depend on the TZ environment variable.
2008-09-23- Rob Crittenden brought a patch to "add some locking for thread-safety to NSSDaniel Stenberg
implementation".
2008-09-22- Made the SOCKS code use the new Curl_read_plain() function to fix the bugDaniel Stenberg
Markus Moeller reported: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-09/0016.html - recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.
2008-09-22- Michael Goffioul filed bug report #2107377 "Problem with mutli + GnuTLS +Daniel Stenberg
proxy" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107377) that showed how a multi interface using program didn't work when built with GnuTLS and a CONNECT request was done over a proxy (basically test 502 over a proxy to a HTTPS site). It turned out the ssl connect function would get called twice which caused the second call to fail.
2008-09-20fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYSYang Tse
2008-09-09Mike Revi discovered some swapped speed switches documented in the curl manDan Fandrich
page.
2008-09-08Dmitry Kurochkin fixed pipelining over proxy using the multi interfaceDaniel Stenberg
2008-09-08- Stefan Krause pointed out that libcurl would wrongly send away cookies toDaniel Stenberg
sites in cases where the cookie clearly has a very old expiry date. The condition was simply that libcurl's date parser would fail to convert the date and it would then count as a (timed-based) match. Starting now, a missed date due to an unsupported date format or date range will now cause the cookie to not match.
2008-09-05Improved the logic the decides whether to use HTTP 1.1 features or not in aDan Fandrich
request. Detect cases where an upload must be sent chunked and the server supports only HTTP 1.0 and return CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED.
2008-09-05- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renamesDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
2008-09-05- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. ByDaniel Stenberg
enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me test and smoothen out this feature. Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use OpenSSL. This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!
2008-09-05- Dmitriy Sergeyev pointed out that curl_easy_pause() didn't unpause properlyDaniel Stenberg
during certain conditions. I also changed this code to use realloc() based on Daniel Fandrich's suggestion.
2008-09-05sync with realityYang Tse
2008-09-02- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-configDaniel Stenberg
file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those tools should now always be synced.

2008-09-01clear the way for 7.19.1 work!Daniel Stenberg

2008-09-01mention the curl_off_t changes firstDaniel Stenberg
2008-08-29- When libcurl was doing a HTTP POST and the server would respond withDaniel Stenberg
"Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222 Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note "http upload: how to stop on error" specifies: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html
2008-08-28- Dengminwen reported that libcurl would lock a (cookie) share twice (withoutDaniel Stenberg
an unlock in between) for a certain case and that in fact works when using regular windows mutexes but not with pthreads'! Locks should of course not get locked again so this is now fixed. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0422.html
2008-08-28Fixed test case 1065 by changing the handling of CURLOPT_UPLOAD to setDan Fandrich
the HTTP method to GET (or HEAD) when given a value of 0.
2008-08-23- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a bug when doing proxy CONNECT with the multiDaniel Stenberg
interface, and the proxy would send Connection: close during the authentication phase. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2069047
2008-08-22Fixed a problem when --dump-header - was given with more than one URL,Dan Fandrich
which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout being closed. Added test case 1066 to verify. Also fixed a potential problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload when more than one URL is given.
2008-08-22Improved curl_m*printf() integral data type size and signedness handlingYang Tse
2008-08-22Jamie Lokier is always helpful and this time around too...Daniel Stenberg
2008-08-20- Phil Pellouchoud pointed out that the windows version of libcurl had aDaniel Stenberg
memory leak because it never called the OpenSSL function CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() as it was supposed to. This was because of a missing define in config-win32.h!
2008-08-13on second thought, let's remove this number from here since it doesn't reallyDaniel Stenberg
belong among the release numbers anyway
2008-08-13dead mirrors removed => http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0208.htmlDaniel Stenberg
2008-08-13Added a few user-visible bug fixesDan Fandrich
2008-08-12- Andy Tsouladze fixed runtests.pl to not attempt to execute the stunnelDaniel Stenberg
_directory_ if that happened to appear in the path!
2008-08-12Added macros for minimum-width signed and unsigned curl_off_t integerYang Tse
constants CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C. The clever double helper macro used internally to provide its functionality is thanks to Lars Nilsson.
2008-08-11- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042430Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.
2008-08-11- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042440Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042440) with a patch. He identified a problem when using NTLM over a proxy but the end-point does Basic, and then libcurl would do wrong when the host sent "Connection: close" as the proxy's NTLM state was erroneously cleared.
2008-08-07Initial support of curlbuild.h and curlrules.h which allowsYang Tse
to have a curl_off_t data type no longer gated to off_t.
