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.
2007-01-23Convert (most of) the test data files into genuine XML. A handful stillDan Fandrich
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities (e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
2006-11-25Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simplyDaniel Stenberg
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body. To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test cases got really painful and boring.
