2010-04-21curl: -O crash on windowsDaniel Stenberg
The -O option caused curl to crash on windows and DOS due to the tool writing out of boundary memory.

2010-04-09FTP quote commands prefixed with '*' now can fail without abortingDaniel Stenberg
Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only worked for the postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case 227 has been extended to verify.
2010-04-02updated contributor countDaniel Stenberg
2010-04-01fix SFTP download hangDaniel Stenberg
Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the code treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as EAGAIN while in reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in SFTP transfers from a MessageWay server.
2010-03-28Ben's POP3 changeDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-27minor language fixDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-27allow user+password in the URL for all protocolsBen Greear
Ben Greear brought a patch that from now on allows all protocols to specify name and user within the URL, in the same manner HTTP and FTP have been allowed to in the past - although far from all of the libcurl supported protocols actually have that feature in their URL definition spec.
2010-03-26changelogged: smoother rate limitingDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-24fix: timeout after last data chunk was handledBob Richmond
Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will read new HTTP response data from a socket, then check if it's a timeout if one is set. If the last packet received constitutes the end of the response body, libcurl still treats it as a timeout condition and reports a message like: "Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876 bytes received" It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T receive the end of the response body yet.
2010-03-24RTSP GET_PARAMETER fixDaniel Stenberg
Christopher Conroy fixed a problem with RTSP and GET_PARAMETER reported to us by Massimo Callegari. There's a new test case 572 that verifies this now.
2010-03-24The 'ares' subtree has been removed from the source repositoryDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-23mark connection as connectedDaniel Stenberg
Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a problem he experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over a proxy using PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect fine but bits.tcpconnect was not set correct so libcurl didn't work properly. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
2010-03-23chunked-encoding with Content-Length: header problemDaniel Stenberg
Akos Pasztory filed debian bug report #572276 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572276 mentioning a problem with a resource that returns chunked-encoded _and_ with a Content-Length and libcurl failed to properly ignore the latter information.
2010-03-23delayed easy handle kill caused double Curl_close() callDaniel Stenberg
Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi interface crash. His example simply used the multi interface and did first one FTP transfer and after completion it used a second easy handle and did another FTP transfer on the same FTP server. This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system that curl uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep an easy handle around internally - only for the purpose of having an easy handle when it later disconnects it. The code assumed that when the easy handle was removed and an internal reference was made, that version could be killed later on when a new easy handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as Hauke's example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real until later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.
2010-03-22Thomas Lopatic fixed the alarm()-based DNS timeoutDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-22Fix insufficient initialization in Curl_clone_ssl_config()douglas steinwand
which could have caused a double free when reusing curl handle.
2010-03-21Ben Greear's two fixes explainedDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-15- Constantine Sapuntzakis brought a patch:Daniel Stenberg
The problem mentioned on Dec 10 2009 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220) was only partially fixed. Partially because an easy handle can be associated with many connections in the cache (e.g. if there is a redirect during the lifetime of the easy handle). The previous patch only cleaned up the first one. The new fix now removes the easy handle from all connections, not just the first one.
2010-03-06- Ben Greear brought a patch that fixed the rate limiting logic for TFTP whenDaniel Stenberg
the easy interface was used.
2010-03-05Daniel Johnson provided fixes for building with the clang compilerDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-05Constantine Sapuntzakis detected and fixed a double free in builds doneYang Tse
with threaded resolver enabled (Windows default configuration) that would get triggered when a curl handle is closed while doing DNS resolution.
2010-03-02- [Daniel Johnson] I've been trying to build libcurl with clang on Darwin andDaniel Stenberg
ran into some issues with the GSSAPI tests in configure.ac. The tests first try to determine the include dirs and libs and set CPPFLAGS and LIBS accordingly. It then checks for the headers and finally sets LIBS a second time, causing the libs to be included twice. The first setting of LIBS seems redundant and should be left out, since the first part is otherwise just about finding headers. My second issue is that 'krb5-config --libs gssapi' on Darwin is less than useless and returns junk that, while it happens to work with gcc, causes clang to choke. For example, --libs returns $CFLAGS along with the libs, which is really retarded. Simply setting 'LIBS="$LIBS -lgssapi_krb5 -lresolv"' on Darwin is sufficient.
2010-03-02- Based on patch provided by Jacob Moshenko, the transfer logic now properlyDaniel Stenberg
makes sure that when using sub-second timeouts, there's no final bad 1000ms wait. Previously, a sub-second timeout would often make the elapsed time end up the time rounded up to the nearest second (e.g. 1s for 200ms timeout)
2010-03-02- Andrei Benea filed bug report #2956698 and pointed out that theDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_CERTINFO feature leaked memory due to a missing OpenSSL function call. He provided the patch to fix it too. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956698
2010-03-02- Markus Duft pointed out in bug #2961796 that even though Interix has aDaniel Stenberg
poll() function it doesn't quite work the way we want it so we must disable it, and he also provided a patch for it. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2961796
2010-03-02- Made the pingpong timeout code properly deal with the response timeout ANDDaniel Stenberg
the global timeout if set. Also, as was reported in the bug report #2956437 by Ryan Chan, the time stamp to use as basis for the per command timeout was not set properly in the DONE phase for FTP (and not for SMTP) so I fixed that just now. This was a regression compared to 7.19.7 due to the conversion of FTP code over to the generic pingpong concepts. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956437
2010-03-01- Ben Greear provided an update for TFTP that fixes upload.Daniel Stenberg
2010-03-01SSL, not SSH, SSLDaniel Stenberg
2010-03-01- Wesley Miaw reported bug #2958179 which identified a case of looping duringDaniel Stenberg
OpenSSL based SSL handshaking even though the multi interface was used and there was no good reason for it. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958179
2010-02-26- Pat Ray in bug #2958474 pointed out an off-by-one case when receiving aDaniel Stenberg
chunked-encoding trailer. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958474
2010-02-25Fixed bug report #2958074 indicatingYang Tse
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958074) that curl on Windows with option --trace-time did not use local time when timestamping trace lines. This could also happen on other systems depending on time souurce.
2010-02-20- Fixed the SMTP compliance by making sure RCPT TO addresses are specifiedDaniel Stenberg
properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that properly on its own.
2010-02-20- I made the SMTP code expect a 250 response back from the server after theDaniel Stenberg
full DATA has been sent, and I modified the test SMTP server to also send that response. As usual, the DONE operation that is made after a completed transfer is still not doable in a non-blocking way so this waiting for 250 is unfortunately made blockingly.
2010-02-13- Martin Hager reported and fixed a problem with a missing quote in libcurl.m4Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951319)
2010-02-13- Tom Donovan fixed the CURL_FORMAT_* defines when building with cmake.Daniel Stenberg
2010-02-12- Jack Zhang reported a problem with SMTP: we wrongly used multiple addressesDaniel Stenberg
in the same RCPT TO line, when they should be sent in separate single commands. I updated test case 802 to verify this. - I also fixed a bad use of my_setopt_str() of CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT in the curl tool which made it try to output it as string for the --libcurl feature which could lead to crashes.
2010-02-11mention last changesYang Tse
2010-02-09start working on 7.20.1Daniel Stenberg
2010-02-09- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app as asked libcurlDaniel Stenberg
to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum documented amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented). This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory 20100209 at http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
2010-02-02- Symbol CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T now obsoleted, will be removed in a future release,Yang Tse
symbol will not be available when building with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined. Use of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T is preferred since 7.19.0
2010-02-01We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() andDaniel Stenberg
simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
2010-01-27mention asynchronous DNS lookups enhancementsYang Tse
2010-01-26- Mike Crowe made libcurl return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY when it is theDaniel Stenberg
proxy that cannot be resolved when using c-ares. This matches the behaviour when not using c-ares.
