2005-11-17I extended a patch from David Shaw to make libcurl _always_ provide an errorDaniel Stenberg
string in the given error buffer to address the flaw mention on 21 sep 2005.
2005-11-16Applied Albert Chin's patch that makes the libcurl.pc pkgconfig file getDaniel Stenberg
installed on 'make install' time.
2005-11-13Debian bug report 338681 by Jan Kunder: make curl better detect and report badDaniel Stenberg
limit-rate units: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=338681 Now curl will return error if a bad unit is used.
2005-11-13Thanks to this nice summary of poll() implementations:Daniel Stenberg
http://www.greenend.org.uk/rjk/2001/06/poll.html and further tests by Eugene Kotlyarov, we now know that cygwin's poll returns only POLLHUP on remote connection closure so we check for that case (too) and re-enable poll for cygwin builds.
2005-11-12Eugene Kotlyarov found out that cygwin's poll() function isn't doing thingsDaniel Stenberg
right: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-11/0045.html so we now disable poll() and use select() on cygwin too (we already do the same choice on Mac OS X)
2005-11-11Dima Barsky patched problem #1348930: the GnuTLS code completely ignoredDaniel Stenberg
client certificates! (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1348930).
2005-11-10Fun while it lasted. New mirror already out-of-date.Daniel Stenberg
2005-11-10David Lang fixed IPv6 support for TFTP!Daniel Stenberg
2005-11-10Introducing range stepping to the curl globbing support. Now you can specifyDaniel Stenberg
step counter by adding :[num] within the brackets when specifying a range.
2005-11-08Removed the use of AI_CANONNAME in the IPv6-enabled resolver functions sinceDaniel Stenberg
we really have no use for reverse lookups of the address. I truly hope these are the last reverse lookups we had lingering in the code!
2005-11-08SSPI-fix and a new mirrorDaniel Stenberg

2005-10-31Vilmos Nebehaj improved libcurl's LDAP abilities:Daniel Stenberg
The LDAP code in libcurl can't handle LDAP servers of LDAPv3 nor binary attributes in LDAP objects. So, I made a quick patch to address these problems. The solution is simple: if we connect to an LDAP server, first try LDAPv3 (which is the preferred protocol as of now) and then fall back to LDAPv2. In case of binary attributes, we first convert them to base64, just like the openldap client does. It uses ldap_get_values_len() instead of ldap_get_values() to be able to retrieve binary attributes correctly. I defined the necessary LDAP macros in lib/ldap.c to be able to compile libcurl without the presence of libldap

2005-10-27tommink[at]post.pl reported in bug report #1337723Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1337723) that curl could not upload binary data from stdin on Windows if the data contained control-Z (hex 1a) since that is treated as end-of-file when read in text mode. Gisle Vanem pointed out the fix, and I made both -T and --data-binary take advantage of it.
2005-10-27Jaz Fresh pointed out that if you used "-r [number]" as was wrongly describedDaniel Stenberg
in the man page, curl would send an invalid HTTP Range: header. The correct way would be to use "-r [number]-" or even "-r -[number]". Starting now, curl will warn if this is discovered, and automatically append a dash to the range before passing it to libcurl.
2005-10-25multi IP socket description leak with multi interfaceDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-21Temprimus improved the MSVC makefile so that the static debug SSL libs areDaniel Stenberg
linked to the executable and not to the libcurld.lib http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1326676
2005-10-21Bradford Bruce made the windows resolver code properly returnDaniel Stenberg
CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY and CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST on resolving errors (as documented).
2005-10-20Dave Dribin made libcurl understand and handle cases when the serverDaniel Stenberg
(wrongly) sends *two* WWW-Authenticate headers for Digest. While this should never happen in a sane world, libcurl previously got into an infinite loop when this occurred. Dave added test 273 to verify this.
2005-10-202 mirrors, 1 binding releaseDaniel Stenberg
2005-10-14Reverted the LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM change from October 6. As Dave DribinDaniel Stenberg
reported, the define is used by the configure script and is assumed to use the 0xYYXXZZ format. This made "curl-config --vernum" fail in the 7.15.0 release version.

2005-09-30a new mirror, but we don't increase the amount since one of the former onesDaniel Stenberg
are now officially no longer considered a mirror... ;-)
2005-09-27David Yan brought the Content-Range reportDaniel Stenberg
2005-09-27An anonymous submitter filed bug #1299181Daniel Stenberg
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1299181) that identified a silly problem with Content-Range: headers with the 'bytes' keyword written in a different case than all lowercase! It would cause a segfault!
2005-09-27TJ Saunders of the proftpd project identified and pointed out problems withDaniel Stenberg
the modified FTPS negotiation change of August 19 2005. Thus, we revert the change back to pre-7.14.1 status.

2005-08-29Igor Polyakov fixed a rather nasty problem with the threaded name resolverDaniel Stenberg
for Windows, that could lead to an Access Violation when the multi interface was used due to an issue with how the resolver thread was and was not terminated.
2005-08-29Simon Josefson brought GNU GSS supportDaniel Stenberg
2005-08-24Toby Peterson added CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH to the library, accessibleDaniel Stenberg
from the command line tool with --ignore-content-length. This will make it easier to download files from Apache 1.x (and similar) servers that are still having problems serving files larger than 2 or 4 GB. When this option is enabled, curl will simply have to wait for the server to close the connection to signal end of transfer. I wrote test case 269 that runs a simple test that this works.
2005-08-24valgrind version 3 renames the --logfile command line option to --log-file...Daniel Stenberg
2005-08-24Fixed CA cert verification using GnuTLS with the default bundle, whichDaniel Stenberg
previously failed due to GnuTLS not allowing x509 v1 CA certs by default.
2005-08-19Norbert Novotny had problems with FTPS and he helped me work out a patchDaniel Stenberg
that made curl run fine in his end. The key was to make sure we do the SSL/TLS negotiation immediately after the TCP connect is done and not after a few other commands have been sent like we did previously. I don't consider this change necessary to obey the standards, I think this server is pickier than what the specs allow it to be, but I can't see how this modified libcurl code can add any problems to those who are interpreting the standards more liberally.
2005-08-17handles expiry times in cookie files that go beyond 32 bits in sizeDaniel Stenberg
2005-08-17- Jeff Pohlmeyer found out that if you ask libcurl to load a cookiefile (withDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE), add a cookie (with CURLOPT_COOKIELIST), tell it to write the result to a given cookie jar and then never actually call curl_easy_perform() - the given file(s) to read was never read but the output file was written and thus it caused a "funny" result. - While doing some tests for the bug above, I noticed that Firefox generates large numbers (for the expire time) in the cookies.txt file and libcurl didn't treat them properly. Now it does.

2005-08-15recent changesDaniel Stenberg
2005-08-09Christopher R. Palmer fixed the offsets used for date parsings when the timeDaniel Stenberg
zone name of a daylight savings time was used. For example, PDT vs PDS. This flaw was introduced with the new date parser (11 sep 2004 - 7.12.2). Fortunately, no web server or cookie string etc should be using such time zone names thus limiting the effect of this bug.
