Less code. Smaller packets back and forth. + +Daniel (23 June) +- Eric Glass provided us with a better doc on NTLM details, and I added more + comments and clarified the current code more. Using the new knowledge, we + should be able to make the NTLM stuff work even better. + Eric's original URL: http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html + Version stored and provided at curl site: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html + +- Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or + SSL. + +Version 7.10.6-pre3 (19 June 2003) + +Daniel (19 June) +- Made curl use curl_free() on memory returned by curl_getenv(), as this + should theoreticly make it possibly to build and run curl and libcurl with + different memory allocation schemes with no problems. + +Daniel (18 June) +- Improved the mkhelp.pl a bit further to make a nicer hugehelp text and to + include a better comment in the top for the gzip compressed version. + +Daniel (17 June) +- CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is now a bitmask, in which you set which authentication + type(s) you want to use. If more than one is set, libcurl will use one of + the selected one and the one it considers is more secure. Test case 67 and + 68 (for NTLM) were fixed and we've reduced a round-trip for specific --ntlm + featches, and test case 69 and 70 were added for testing authentication + "picking". --anyauth is the new command line tool option, and I also added + --basic for completeness (that's the default type). + +- Fixed the runtests.pl script to use the info provided by the new curl -V + output. + +- --enable-debug now sets the CURLDEBUG define instead of MALLOCDEBUG, as it + is meant to be a generic debug conditional. + +- curl_version_info() can now return CURL_VERSION_DEBUG as a feature bit, to + indicate that the library was built with CURLDEBUG set. + +- Ralph Mitchell found out that some web applications very badly uses white + spaces in Location: redirects, and apparently IE is a browser (the only + one?) that supports this abomination. Based on Ralph's patch, I added code + that now attempts to replace white spaces with the proper "%20" or "+". + Test case 40 and 42 were added to verify my changes. + +- curl -V now also outputs a list of features the available library offers (if + any). + +- The curl_version() string now includes "GSS" if libcurl is built with GSSAPI + support. + +- David Orrell reported that libcurl still crashed when sending HUGE requests + over HTTPS... I fixed. + +Version 7.10.6-pre2 (16 June 2003) + +Daniel (16 June) +- curl_version_info() now returns bitmasked information weather NTLM and + GSSNEGOTIATE are supported, since it is doomed to vary on different + installatiions. + +- I remade the HTTP Digest code to use the MD5-code provided by OpenSSL if + that is present, and only use our own MD5-code if it isn't. + +Daniel (13 June) +- More NTLM help, fixes and patches from Cris Bailiff. + +- Marty Kuhrt brought include fixes for making VMS builds warning-free. + +Daniel (12 June) +- NTLM authentication works somewhat against the test servers provided by + Mathias Axelsson and Cris Bailiff. Use by setting CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH to + CURLAUTH_NTLM to libcurl, or --ntlm for the curl tool. Test case 67 and 68 + were added for this. NTLM-support requires OpenSSL. + +- Dan Fandrich provided a patch, that granted that gzip and libz are available + at build-time, compresses the hugehelp text in the curl command line and + uncompresses it at request. Saves some ~60K in the final output executable. + +Daniel (11 June) +- Long day of fighting the NTLM demons. + Daniel (10 June) - Modified how to set auth type to libcurl. Now use CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH instead, and pick method. Supported ones currently are: - CURLHTTP_BASIC - default selection - CURLHTTP_DIGEST - formerly CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST - CURLHTTP_NEGOTIATE - -- Daniel Kouril added HTTP Negotiate authentication support, as defined in the - IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. In use already by various - Microsoft web applications. --negotiate is the new family member. + CURLAUTH_BASIC - default selection + CURLAUTH_DIGEST - formerly CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST + CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE + +- Daniel Kouril added HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication support, as defined in + the IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. In use already by various + Microsoft web applications. --negotiate is the new family member. To take + advantage of this, you need one of these packages: + + o Heimdal Kerberos5 http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/heimdal.html + o GSSAPI from Globus http://www.globus.org/ + o GSSAPI libraries from MIT Kerberos5 http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/ - A missing ending bracket (']') while doing URL globbing could lead to a segfault. While fixing this, I also introduced better error reporting in the -- cgit v1.2.3
