2007-12-26Dmitry Kurochkin mentioned a flawDaniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-12/0252.html) in detect_proxy() which failed to set the bits.proxy variable properly when an environment variable told libcurl to use a http proxy.
2007-12-24Gary Maxwell filed bug report #1856628Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1856628) and provided a fix for the (small) memory leak in the SSL session ID caching code. It happened when a previous entry in the cache was re-used.
2007-12-18(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2007-12/0039.html) reported and fixedYang Tse
a file truncation problem on Windows build targets triggered when retrying a download with curl.
2007-12-18pollfd struct and WSA_poll fixes for Windows Vista already present in CVSYang Tse
2007-12-17Mateusz Loskot pointed out that VC++ 9.0 (2008) has the pollfd struct andDaniel Stenberg
defines in the SDK somehow differently so we have to add a define to the config-win32.h file to make select.h compile nicely.
2007-12-13David Wright filed bug report #1849764Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1849764) with an included fix. He identified a problem for re-used connections that previously had sent Expect: 100-continue and in some situations the subsequent POST (that didn't use Expect:) still had the internal flag set for its use. David's fix (that makes the setting of the flag in every single request unconditionally) is fine and is now used!
2007-12-12Gilles Blanc made the curl tool enable SO_KEEPALIVE for the connections andDaniel Stenberg
added the --no-keep-alive option that can disable that on demand.
2007-12-09Andrew Moise filed bug report #1847501Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1847501) and pointed out a memcpy() that should be memmove() in the convert_lineends() function.
2007-12-05Spacen Jasset reported a problem with doing POST (with data read with aDaniel Stenberg
callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.
2007-12-03Ray Pekowski filed bug report #1842029Daniel Stenberg
2007-12-03SSL session id caching bugfixDaniel Stenberg
2007-12-03mention "no longer default-appends ;type= on FTP URLs thru proxies" as a bugDaniel Stenberg
fix even if kind of implied by the new option
2007-12-02Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to controlDaniel Stenberg
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers better with the appending done!
2007-11-29ftp resumed upload and long Digest noncesDaniel Stenberg
2007-11-22Provide a socklen_t definition in curl.h for Win32 API build targetsYang Tse
which don't have one.
2007-11-22Alessandro Vesely helped me improve the --data-urlencode's syntax, parserDaniel Stenberg
and documentation.
2007-11-20While inspecting the Negotiate code, I noticed how the proxy auth was usingDaniel Stenberg
the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy simultanouesly.
2007-11-20Introuced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of theDaniel Stenberg
data sent in a post.
2007-11-18Rob Crittenden fixed SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interfaceDaniel Stenberg
2007-11-15Ates Goral identified a problem in http.c:add_buffer_send() when a debugDaniel Stenberg
callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent in one single send. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html
2007-11-14Fix a variable potential wrapping in add_buffer() when using absolutelyYang Tse
huge send buffer sizes
2007-11-12Bug report #1830637 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which wasDaniel Stenberg
forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct member.
2007-11-11new ruby binding, curl-multi version 0.1Daniel Stenberg
2007-11-08Bug report #1823487 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointedDaniel Stenberg
out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP ones. I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch for indent changes as well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.
2007-11-06Bug report #1824894 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1824894) pointedYang Tse
out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C" linkage block.
2007-11-05tclcurl and a mirror recount when bad ones have been cut outDaniel Stenberg
2007-11-01Toby Peterson patched a memory problem in the command line tool thatDaniel Stenberg
happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do free() on a wrong area.
2007-11-01Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't usedDan Fandrich
due to a missing header file.
2007-10-31Fixed the output of curl-config --protocols which showed SCP and SFTPDan Fandrich
always, except when --without-libssh2 was given
2007-10-31contributor re-count (we'll break the 600 limit very very soon now) and I madeDaniel Stenberg
all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases + 26 and not a very interesting number anyway.
2007-10-29curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when builtDaniel Stenberg
with NSS
2007-10-29start working on 7.17.2Daniel Stenberg
2007-10-29correct mirror countDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-28http://curl.wetzlmayr.at/ is a new web mirror in Nuremberg, GermanyDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-25Added the --static-libs option to curl-configDan Fandrich
2007-10-25oopsDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-25Made libcurl built with NSS possible to ignore the peer verification.Daniel Stenberg
Previously it would fail if the ca bundle wasn't present, even if the code ignored the verification results.
2007-10-25Michal Marek fixed the test script to be able to use valgrind even when theDaniel Stenberg
lib is built shared with libtool.
2007-10-25Fixed a TFTP memory leak. Enabled test 2003 to verify this.Daniel Stenberg
2007-10-24Vladimir Lazarenko pointed out that we should do some 'mt' magic whenDaniel Stenberg
building with VC8 to get the "manifest" embedded to make fine stand-alone binaries. The maketgz and the src/Makefile.vc6 files were adjusted accordingly.
2007-10-23Bug report #1812190 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1812190) points outDaniel Stenberg
that libcurl tried to re-use connections a bit too much when using non-SSL protocols tunneled over a HTTP proxy.
2007-10-22Michal Marek forwarded the bug reportDaniel Stenberg
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two fixes: #1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be used by another connection. Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP. #2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the SessionHandle was used by a different connection).
2007-10-22mention Patrick Monnerat's recent work on the postfields problemsDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-22Bug report #1815530 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1815530) points outDaniel Stenberg
that specifying a proxy with a trailing slash didn't work (unless it also contained a port number).
2007-10-05Michael Wallner made the CULROPT_COOKIELIST option support a new magicDaniel Stenberg
string: "FLUSH". Using that will cause libcurl to flush its cookies to the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR file.
2007-10-04Kim Rinnewitz reported that --local-port didn't work with TFTP transfers.Daniel Stenberg
This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind() without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so many different hosts in different situations I add it in disabled state.
2007-10-03Fix issue related with the use of ares_timeout() result.Yang Tse
2007-10-03recount contributors after the 7.17.0 releaseDaniel Stenberg
2007-10-03Alexey Pesternikov introduced CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION andDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry for mixing those in.)
2007-10-03Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offersDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.
