2008-07-03Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xxDaniel Stenberg
response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added test case 1033 to verify.
2008-07-03Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():Daniel Stenberg
CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer" handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named 'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-07-02fallback to gettimeofday when monotonic clock is unavailable at run-timeYang Tse
2008-07-01- Rolland Dudemaine provided fixes to get libcurl to build for the INTEGRITYDaniel Stenberg
operating system.
2008-06-30- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range codeDaniel Stenberg
which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use unsigned.
2008-06-29John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails onYang Tse
some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.
2008-06-22- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567Daniel Stenberg
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with --head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to verify.
2008-06-20- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed toDaniel Stenberg
handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported that it made things work for him again.
2008-06-20- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxyDaniel Stenberg
crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send" internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write() function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh- related #ifdefs in the code for readability.
2008-06-19- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previous causedDaniel Stenberg
libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name resolve done by c-ares is done) and then immediately re-created and put to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to tell the app about this close/re-create case.
2008-06-19- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using theDaniel Stenberg
multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for, detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already in use!
2008-06-18- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longerDaniel Stenberg
always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the multi interface is used. Original bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
2008-06-13Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.Dan Fandrich
2008-06-08the next release is now called 7.19.0Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-08- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!Daniel Stenberg
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-06-06- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, forDaniel Stenberg
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_CRLFILE, forDaniel Stenberg
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable withDaniel Stenberg
curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-06-04start working on 7.18.3!Daniel Stenberg
2008-06-03Fixed a problem where telnet data would be lost if an EWOULDBLOCKDan Fandrich
condition were encountered.
2008-05-28- Emil Romanus found a problem and helped me repeat it. It occured when usingDaniel Stenberg
the curl_multi_socket() API with HTTP pipelining enabled and could lead to the pipeline basically stalling for a very long period of time until it took off again.
2008-05-28- Jeff Weber reported memory leaks with aborted SCP and SFTP transfers andDaniel Stenberg
provided excellent repeat recipes. I fixed the cases I managed to reproduce but Jeff still got some (SCP) problems even after these fixes: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0342.html
2008-05-26- Bug report #1973352 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1973352) identifiedDaniel Stenberg
how the HTTP redirect following code didn't properly follow to a new URL if the new url was but a query string such as "Location: ?moo=foo". Test case 1031 was added to verify this fix.
2008-05-26Andreas Faerber and Scott McCreary made (lib)curl build for the Haiku OSDaniel Stenberg
2008-05-26David Rosenstrauch reported that header files spnegohelp.h andYang Tse
openssl/objects.h were needed to compile SPNEGO support.
2008-05-24Nikolai Kondrashov for his man page updateDaniel Stenberg
2008-05-19- When trying to repeat a multi interface problem I fell over a few multiDaniel Stenberg
interface problems: o with pipelining disabled, the state should never be set to WAITDO but rather go straight to DO o we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket at all to wait for, with the effect that libcurl calls the socket callback (when curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be added again within very shortly) o when in DO and DOING states, the HTTP and HTTPS protocol handler functions didn't return that the socket should be waited for writing, but instead it was treated as if no socket was needing monitoring so again REMOVE was called prematurely.
2008-05-12- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to sendDaniel Stenberg
and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used.
2008-05-09Internal time differences now use monotonic time source if available.Yang Tse
This also implies the removal of the winmm.lib dependency for WIN32.
2008-05-09- Stefan Krause reported a busy-looping case when using the multi interfaceDaniel Stenberg
and doing CONNECT to a proxy. The app would then busy-loop until the proxy completed its response.
2008-05-07- Liam Healy filed the debian bug report #480044Daniel Stenberg
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480044) identifying a segfault when using krb5 ftp, but the krb4 code had the same problem.
2008-05-07Christopher Palow provided the patch (edited by me) that introducesYang Tse
the use of microsecond resolution keys for internal splay trees. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-04/0513.html
2008-05-03- Yuriy Sosov pointed out a configure fix for detecting c-ares when that isDaniel Stenberg
built debug-enabled.
2008-05-03- Ben Van Hof filed bug report #1945240: "libcurl sometimes sends body twiceDaniel Stenberg
when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240). The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second. Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.
2008-05-03- Jean-Francois Bertrand reported a libcurl crash with CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAYDaniel Stenberg
since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0011.html
2008-05-01- Bart Whiteley provided a patch that made libcurl work properly when an appDaniel Stenberg
uses the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION callback to create a unix domain socket to a http server.
2008-04-30- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done onDaniel Stenberg
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
2008-04-28- Norbert Frese filed bug report #1951588: "Problem with curlftpfs andDaniel Stenberg
libcurl" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1951588) which seems to be an identical report to what Denis Golovan reported in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html The FTP code didn't reset the user/password pointers properly even though there might've been a new struct/cconnection getting used.
2008-04-22Added support for running on Symbian OS.Dan Fandrich
2008-04-14allow disabling the typechecker by defining CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK, asMichal Marek
discussed in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-04/0291.html
2008-04-14- Stefan Krause reported a case where the OpenSSL handshake phase wasn'tDaniel Stenberg
properly acknowledging the timeout values, like if you pulled the network plug in the midst of it.
2008-04-14mention Sandor as contributorDaniel Stenberg
2008-04-14- Brock Noland reported that curl behaved differently depending on which orderDaniel Stenberg
you used -i and -I.
2008-04-12- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a case where malloc() was called butDaniel Stenberg
was not checked for a NULL return, in the Negotiate code.
2008-04-07- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good:Michal Marek
Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available. Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
2008-04-05- Alexey Simak fixed curl_easy_reset() to reset the max redirect limit properlyDaniel Stenberg
2008-04-03- Setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to FALSE will now switch the HTTP request method toDaniel Stenberg
GET simply because previously when you set CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE first and then FALSE you'd end up in a broken state where a HTTP request would do a HEAD by still act a lot like for a GET and hang waiting for the content etc.
2008-04-03Scott Barrett added support for CURLOPT_NOBODY over SFTPDaniel Stenberg
2008-03-31- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow anDaniel Stenberg
application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case 554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
2008-03-30back to a blank for 7.18.2Daniel Stenberg
