2007-06-25Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth orDaniel Stenberg
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.
2007-06-25start working towards 7.16.4Daniel Stenberg
2007-06-24As reported by "Tro" in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0161.html andDaniel Stenberg
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0238.html, libcurl didn't properly do no-body requests on FTP files on re-used connections properly, or at least it didn't provide the info back in the header callback properly in the subsequent requests.
2007-06-21Gerrit Bruchhäuser pointed out a warning that the Intel(R) Thread CheckerDaniel Stenberg
tool reports and it was indeed a legitimate one and it is one fixed. It was a use of a share without doing the proper locking first.
2007-06-20Adam Piggott filed bug report #1740263Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1740263). Adam discovered that when getting a large amount of URLs with curl, they were fetched slower and slower... which turned out to be because the --libcurl data collecting which wrongly always was enabled, but no longer is...
2007-06-18Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1739100Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1739100) that mentioned that libcurl could not actually list the contents of the root directory of a given FTP server if the login directory isn't root. I fixed the problem and added three test cases (one is disabled for now since I identified KNOWN_BUGS #44, we cannot use --ftp-method nocwd and list ftp directories).
2007-06-14Shmulik Regev fixed a flaw in the multi interface that occurred when doingDaniel Stenberg
HTTP CONNECT over a proxy
2007-06-14s/HAVE_POLL/HAVE_SYS_POLL_HDaniel Stenberg
2007-06-13Tom Regner provided a patch and worked together with James Housley, so nowDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS works for SFTP connections as well as FTP ones.
2007-06-13Rich Rauenzahn filed bug report #1733119Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1733119) and we collaborated on the fix. The problem is that for 64bit HPUX builds, several socket-related functions would still assume int (32 bit) arguments and not socklen_t (64 bit) ones.
2007-06-07Daniel S (6 June 2007)Daniel Stenberg
- -s/--silent can now be used to toggle off the silence again if used a second time. Daniel S (5 June 2007) - Added Daniel Black's work that adds the first few SOCKS test cases. I also fixed two minor SOCKS problems to make the test cases run fine.
2007-05-31When transferring 500 downloads in parallel with a c-ares enabled build onlyDaniel Stenberg
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in use.
2007-05-31Feng Tu made (lib)curl support "upload" resuming work for file:// URLs.Daniel Stenberg
2007-05-30Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for settingDaniel Stenberg
the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.
2007-05-26When working with a problem Stefan Becker had, I found an off-by-one bufferDaniel Stenberg
overwrite in Curl_select(). While fixing it, I also improved its performance somewhat by changing calloc to malloc and breaking out of a loop earlier (when possible).
2007-05-25Rob Crittenden fixed bug #1705802Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705802), which was filed by Daniel Black identifying several FTP-SSL test cases fail when we build libcurl with NSS for TLS/SSL. Listed as #42 in KNOWN_BUGS.
2007-05-22Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak when PKCS #12 parsing failedDaniel Stenberg
2007-05-22Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak in the function that verifies theDaniel Stenberg
peer's name in the SSL certificate when built for OpenSSL. The leak happens for libcurls with CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS enabled that fail to convert the CN name from UTF8.
2007-05-18Feng Tu reported that curl -w did wrong on TFTP transfers inDaniel Stenberg
bug report #1715394 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715394), and the transfer-related info "variables" were indeed overwritten with zeroes wrongly and have now been adjusted. The upload size still isn't accurate.
2007-05-17Feng Tu pointed out a division by zero error in the TFTP connect timeoutDaniel Stenberg
code for timeouts less than fice seconds, and also provided a fix for it.
2007-05-15Added support for quote commands before a transfer using SFTP and testDan Fandrich
case 614. Allow SFTP quote commands chmod, chown, chgrp to set a value of 0.
2007-05-09Kristian Gunstone fixed a problem where overwriting an uploaded file withDan Fandrich
sftp didn't truncate it first, which would corrupt the file if the new file was shorter than the old.
2007-05-07James Bursa fixed a bug in the multi handle code that made the connectionDaniel Stenberg
cache grow a bit too much, beyond the normal 4 * easy_handles.
2007-05-02Anders Gustafsson remarked that requiring CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION set to 1.0Daniel Stenberg
when CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES is used to avoid the problem mentioned below is not very nice if the client wants to be able to use _either_ a HTTP 1.1 server or one within the aliases list... so starting now, libcurl will simply consider 200-alias matches the to be HTTP 1.0 compliant.
2007-05-02Tobias Rundstrom reported a problem they experienced with xmms2 and recentDaniel Stenberg
libcurls, which turned out to be the 25-nov-2006 change which treats HTTP responses without Content-Length or chunked encoding as without bodies. We now added the conditional that the above mentioned response is only without body if the response is HTTP 1.1.
2007-05-02- Jeff Pohlmeyer improved the hiperfifo.c example to use theDaniel Stenberg
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback option.
2007-05-02- Set the timeout for easy handles to expire really soon after addition orDaniel Stenberg
when CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM is returned from curl_multi_socket*/perform, to make applications using only curl_multi_socket() to properly function when adding easy handles "on the fly". Bug report and test app provided by Michael Wallner.
2007-04-28Peter O'Gorman fixed libcurl to not init GnuTLS as early as we did before,Daniel Stenberg
since it then inits libgcrypt and libgcrypt is being evil and EXITS the application if it fails to get a fine random seed. That's really not a nice thing to do by a library.
2007-04-28Frank Hempel fixed a curl_easy_duphandle() crash on a handle that hadDaniel Stenberg
been removed from a multi handle, and then fixed another flaw that prevented curl_easy_duphandle() to work even after the first fix - the handle was still marked as using the multi interface.
2007-04-26Peter O'Gorman found a problem with SCP downloads when the downloaded fileDaniel Stenberg
was 16385 bytes (16K+1) and it turned out we didn't properly always "suck out" all data from libssh2. The effect being that libcurl would hang on the socket waiting for data when libssh2 had in fact already read it all...
2007-04-25Sonia Subramanian brought our attention to a problem that happens if you setDaniel Stenberg
the CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM or CURLOPT_RANGE options and an existing connection in the connection cache is closed to make room for the new one when you call curl_easy_perform(). It would then wrongly free range-related data in the connection close funtion.
2007-04-25Steve Little's fixes to allow compilation on VMS 64-bit modeYang Tse
2007-04-24Robert Iakobashvili made the 'master_buffer' get allocated first once it isDaniel Stenberg
can/will be used as it then makes the common cases save 16KB of data for each easy handle that isn't used for pipelining.
2007-04-22configure fix and new mirrorDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-21Daniel Black filed bug #1704675 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1704675)Daniel Stenberg
identifying a double-free problem in the SSL-dealing layer, telling GnuTLS to free NULL credentials on closedown after a failure and a bad #ifdef for NSS when closing down SSL.
2007-04-20- Save one call to curlx_tvnow(), which calls gettimeofday(), in each ofYang Tse
Curl_socket_ready(), Curl_poll() and Curl_select() when these are called with a zero timeout or a timeout value indicating a blocking call should be performed. These unnecessary calls to gettimeofday() got introduced in 7.16.2 when fixing 'timeout would restart when signal caught while awaiting socket events' on 20 March 2007. - Move some loop breaking logic from the while clause into the loop, avoiding compiler warning 'assignment within conditional expression'
2007-04-18- James Housley made SFTP uploads use libssh2's non-blocking API (if available)Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-18- Prevent the internal progress meter from updating more frequently than onceDaniel Stenberg
per second.
2007-04-16- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is aDaniel Stenberg
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to curl_multi_socket*().
2007-04-16Jay Austin added "DH PARAMETERS" to the stunnel.pem certificateDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-14updatesDaniel Stenberg
2007-04-13Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existanceYang Tse
of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using for a host which was supposed not to exist.
2007-04-12update!Daniel Stenberg

2007-04-03Rob Jones fixed better #ifdef'ing for a bunch of #include lines.Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-02Nick Zitzmann made CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE work for SFTP as well.Daniel Stenberg
2007-04-01Matt Kraai provided a patch that makes curl build on QNX 6 fine again. MostlyDaniel Stenberg
by letting configure check for setmode and ifdef on HAVE_SETMODE. NOTE: non- configure platforms that havve setmode() needs their hard-coded config.h files fixed. I fixed the src/config-win32.h.
