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
2008-03-27- Stephen Collyer pointed out that configure --with-libssh2 without a givenDaniel Stenberg
path didn't work properly but now it does!
2008-03-27- As found out and reported by Dan Petitt, libcurl didn't show progress/callDaniel Stenberg
the progress callback for the first (potentially huge) piece of body data sent together with the POST request headers in the initial send().
2008-03-25spell!Daniel Stenberg
2008-03-25- Made setting the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION option return a failure in caseDaniel Stenberg
libcurl wasn't built to use OpenSSL as that is a prerequisite for this option to function!
2008-03-22- Fixed the problem with doing a zero byte SCP transfer, verified with testDaniel Stenberg
case 617 (which was added by Daniel Fandrich 5 Mar 2008).
2008-03-20Jes reported the curl-config bugDan Fandrich
2008-03-20Fixed a problem where curl-config --protocols could erroneously show LDAPSDan Fandrich
support when curl didn't even have regular LDAP support. It looks like this could happen when the --enable-ldaps configure switch is given but configure couldn't find the LDAP headers or libraries.
2008-03-20- Added --with-ca-path=DIRECTORY configure option to use an openSSL CApath byMichal Marek
default instead of a ca bundle. The configure script will also look for a ca path if no ca bundle is found and no option given. - Fixed detection of previously installed curl-ca-bundle.crt
2008-03-18Fixed an infinite loop when given an invalid SFTP quote command.Dan Fandrich
2008-03-18- Added curl_easy_getinfo typechecker.Michal Marek
- Added macros for curl_share_setopt and curl_multi_setopt to check at least the correct number of arguments.
2008-03-13- Brian Ulm figured out that if you did an SFTP upload withDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS to create a directory, and then re-used the handle and uploaded another file to another directory that needed to be created, the second upload would fail. Another case of a state variable that wasn't properly reset between requests. - I rewrote the 100-continue code to use a single state variable instead of the previous two ones. I think it made the logic somewhat clearer.
2008-03-11- Dmitry Popov filed bug report #1911069Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1911069) that identified a race condition in the name resolver code when the DNS cache is shared between multiple easy handles, each running in simultaneous threads that could cause crashes.
2008-03-11- Added a macro for curl_easy_setopt() that accepts three arguments and simplyDaniel Stenberg
does nothing with them, just to make sure libcurl users always use three arguments to this function. Due to its use of ... for the third argument, it is otherwise hard to detect abuse.
