Version 7.17.0 (13 September 2007)

Daniel S (12 September 2007)
- Bug report #1792649 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1792649) pointed
  out a problem with doing an empty upload over FTP on a re-used connection.
  I added test case 541 to reproduce it and to verify the fix.

- I noticed while writing test 541 that the FTP code wrongly did a CWD on the
  second transfer as it didn't store and remember the "" path from the
  previous transfer so it would instead CWD to the entry path as stored. This
  worked, but did a superfluous command. Thus, test case 541 now also verifies
  this fix.

Dan F (5 September 2007)
- Added test case 1007 to test permission problem when uploading with TFTP
  (to validate bug #1790403).

- TFTP now reports the "not defined" TFTP error code 0 as an error,
  not success.

Daniel S (5 September 2007)
- Continued the work on a fix for #1779054
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054). My previous fix from August
  24 was not complete (either) but could accidentally "forget" parts of a
  server response which led to faulty server response time-out errors.

Dan F (5 September 2007)
- Minix doesn't support getsockopt on UDP sockets or send/recv on TCP
  sockets.

Dan F (31 August 2007)
- Made some of the error strings returned by the *strerror functions more
  generic, and more consistent with each other.

- Renamed the curl_ftpssl enum to curl_usessl and its enumerated constants,
  creating macros for backward compatibility:

    CURLFTPSSL_NONE => CURLUSESSL_NONE
    CURLFTPSSL_TRY => CURLUSESSL_TRY
    CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL => CURLUSESSL_CONTROL
    CURLFTPSSL_ALL => CURLUSESSL_ALL
    CURLFTPSSL_LAST => CURLUSESSL_LAST

Dan F (30 August 2007)
- Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more general
  and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
  removed.  In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
  compatibility with the old names.  These macros are subject to removal at
  a future date, but probably not before 2009.  An application can be
  tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
  CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

  The following unused error codes were removed:

    CURLE_BAD_CALLING_ORDER
    CURLE_BAD_PASSWORD_ENTERED
    CURLE_FTP_CANT_RECONNECT
    CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_GET_SIZE
    CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_ASCII
    CURLE_FTP_USER_PASSWORD_INCORRECT
    CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_USER_REPLY
    CURLE_FTP_WRITE_ERROR
    CURLE_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND
    CURLE_MALFORMAT_USER
    CURLE_OBSOLETE
    CURLE_SHARE_IN_USE
    CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT_USER

  The following error codes were renamed:

    CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED =>      CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED
    CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_BINARY => CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE
    CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED =>         CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED
    CURLE_FTP_QUOTE_ERROR =>        CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR
    CURLE_TFTP_DISKFULL =>          CURLE_REMOTE_DISK_FULL
    CURLE_TFTP_EXISTS =>            CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_EXISTS
    CURLE_HTTP_RANGE_ERROR =>       CURLE_RANGE_ERROR 

  The following options were renamed:

    CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD => CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD 
    CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND =>    CURLOPT_APPEND
    CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY =>  CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY
    CURLOPT_FTP_SSL =>      CURLOPT_USE_SSL

  A few more changes will take place with the next SONAME bump of the
  library.  These are documented in docs/TODO

- Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)

- Added more accurate error code returns from SFTP operations.  Added test
  case 615 to test an SFTP upload failure.

Dan F (28 August 2007)
- Some minor internal type and const changes based on a splint scan.

Daniel S (24 August 2007)
- Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
  out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
  the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
  16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
  case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
  test case runs fine.

Patrick M (23 August 2007)
- OS/400 port: new files lib/config-os400.h lib/setup-os400.h packages/OS400/*.
  See packages/OS400/README.OS400.

Daniel S (23 August 2007)
- Bug report #1779751 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779751) pointed
  out that doing first a file:// upload and then an FTP upload crashed libcurl
  or at best caused furious valgrind complaints. Fixed now!

Daniel S (22 August 2007)
- Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
  out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
  properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
  not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
  case 1003 was added to verify this.

Daniel S (20 August 2007)
- Based on a patch by Christian Vogt, the FTP code now sets the upcoming
  download transfer size much earlier to be possible to get read with
  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD as soon as possible. This is very much in a
  similar spirit to the HTTP size change from August 11 2007.

Daniel S (18 August 2007)
- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1776232
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776232) about libcurl calling
  Curl_client_write(), passing on a const string that the caller may not
  modify and yet it does (on some platforms).

- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1776235
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776235) about ftp requests with NOBODY
  on a directory would do a "SIZE (null)" request. This is now fixed and test
  case 1000 was added to verify.

Daniel S (17 August 2007)
- Song Ma provided a patch that cures a problem libcurl has when doing resume
  HTTP PUT using Digest authentication. Test case 5320 and 5322 were also
  added to verify the functionality.

Daniel S (14 August 2007)
- Andrew Wansink provided an NTLM bugfix: in the case the server sets the flag
  NTLMFLAG_NEGOTIATE_UNICODE, we need to filter it off because libcurl doesn't
  UNICODE encode the strings it packs into the NTLM authenticate packet.

Daniel S (11 August 2007)
- Allen Pulsifer provided a patch that makes libcurl set the expected download
  size earlier when doing HTTP downloads, so that applications and the
  progress meter etc know get the info earlier in the flow than before.

- Patrick Monnerat modified the LDAP code and approach in curl. Starting now,
  the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
  libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
  dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
  lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
  just before this commit, just in case.

Dan F (8 August 2007)
- Song Ma noted a zlib memory leak in the illegal compressed header
  countermeasures code path.

Daniel S (4 August 2007)
- Patrick Monnerat fixed curl_easy_escape() and curlx_strtoll() to work on
  non-ASCII systems.

Daniel S (3 August 2007)
- I cut out support for libssh2 versions older than 0.16 to make our code a
  lot simpler, and to avoid getting trouble with the LIBSSH2_APINO define
  that 1) didn't work properly since it was >32 bits and 2) is removed in
  libssh2 0.16...

Daniel S (2 August 2007)
- Scott Cantor filed bug report #1766320
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1766320) pointing out that the libcurl
  code accessed two curl_easy_setopt() options (CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and
  CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE) as ints even though they're documented to be
  passed in as longs, and that makes a difference on 64 bit architectures.

- Dmitriy Sergeyev reported a regression: resumed file:// transfers broke
  after 7.16.2. This is much due to the different treatment file:// gets
  internally, but now I added test 231 to make it less likely to happen again
  without us noticing!

Daniel S (1 August 2007)
- Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all strings
  passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
  to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
  with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
  strings and keep private copies. This is also part of Patrick Monnerat's
  OS/400 port.

  Due to this being a somewhat interesting change API wise, I've decided to
  bump the version of the upcoming release to 7.17.0. Older applications will
  of course not notice this change nor do they have to care, but new
  applications can be written to take advantage of this.

- Greg Morse reported a problem with POSTing using ANYAUTH to a server
  requiring NTLM, and he provided test code and a test server and we worked
  out a bug fix. We failed to count sent body data at times, which then caused
  internal confusions when libcurl tried to send the rest of the data in order
  to maintain the same connection alive.

Daniel S (31 July 2007)
- Peter O'Gorman pointed out (and fixed) that the non-blocking check in
  configure made libcurl use blocking sockets on AIX 4 and 5, while that
  wasn't the intention.

Daniel S (29 July 2007)
- Jayesh A Shah filed bug report #1759542
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1759542) identifying a rather serious
  problem with FTPS: libcurl closed the data connection socket and then later
  in the flow it would call the SSL layer to do SSL shutdown which then would
  use a socket that had already been closed - so if the application had opened
  a new one in the mean time, libcurl could send gibberish that way! I worked
  with Greg Zavertnik to properly diagnose and fix this. The fix affects code
  for all SSL libraries we support, but it has only been truly verified to
  work fine for the OpenSSL version. The others have only been code reviewed.

Daniel S (23 July 2007)
- Implemented the parts of Patrick Monnerat's OS/400 patch that introduces
  support for the OS/400 Secure Sockets Layer library.

Dan F (23 July 2007)
- Implemented only the parts of Patrick Monnerat's OS/400 patch that renamed
  some few internal identifiers to avoid conflicts, which could be useful on
  other platforms.

Daniel S (22 July 2007)
- HTTP Digest bug fix by Chris Flerackers:

  Scenario

  - Perfoming a POST request with body
  - With authentication (only Digest)
  - Re-using a connection

  libcurl would send a HTTP POST with an Authorization header but without
  body. Our server would return 400 Bad Request in that case (because
  authentication passed, but the body was empty).

  Cause

  1) http_digest.c -> Curl_output_digest
  - Updates allocptr.userpwd/allocptr.proxyuserpwd *only* if d->nonce is
  filled in (and no errors)
  - authp->done = TRUE if d->nonce is filled in
  2) http.c -> Curl_http
  - *Always* uses allocptr.userpwd/allocptr.proxyuserpwd if not NULL
  3) http.c -> Curl_http, Curl_http_output_auth

  So what happens is that Curl_output_digest cannot yet update the
  Authorization header (allocptr.userpwd) which results in authhost->done=0 ->
  authhost->multi=1 -> conn->bits.authneg = TRUE.  The body is not
  added. *However*, allocptr.userpwd is still used when building the request

- Added test case 354 that makes a simple FTP retrieval without password, which
  verifies the bug fix in #1757328.

Daniel S (21 July 2007)
- To allow more flexibility in FTP test cases, I've removed the enforced states
  from the test server code as they served no real purpose. The test server
  is here to serve for the test cases, not to attempt to function as a real
  server! While at it, I modified test case 141 to better test and verify
  curl -I on a single FTP file.

Daniel S (20 July 2007)
- James Housley fixed the SFTP PWD command to work.

- Ralf S. Engelschall filed bug report #1757328
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1757328) and submitted a patch. It
  turns out we broke login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand)
  PASS after the USER command. The breakage was done as part of the krb5
  commit so a krb-using person needs to verify that the current version now
  works or if we need to fix it (in a different way of course).

Dan F (17 July 2007)
- Fixed test cases 613 and 614 by improving the log postprocessor to handle
  a new directory listing format that newer libssh2's can provide.  This
  is probably NOT sufficient to handle all directory listing formats that
  server's can provide, and should be revisited.

Daniel S (17 July 2007)
- Daniel Johnson fixed a bug in how libssh2_session_last_error() was used, in
  two places.

- Jofell Gallardo posted a libcurl log using FTP that exposed a bug which made
  a control connection that was deemed "dead" to yet be re-used in a following
  request.

Daniel S (13 July 2007)
- Colin Hogben filed bug report #1750274
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1750274) and submitted a patch for the
  case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't
  provide a human readable error string back.

- Daniel Cater fixes:
  1 - made 'make vc8' work on windows.
  2 - made libcurl itself built with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined (which doesn't
      define the symbols for backwards source compatibility)
  3 - updated libcurl-errors.3
  4 - added CURL_DISABLE_TFTP to docs/INSTALL

Daniel S (12 July 2007)
- Made the krb5 code build with Heimdal's GSSAPI lib.

Dan F (12 July 2007)
- Compile most of the example apps in docs/examples when doing a 'make check'.
  Fixed some compile warnings and errors in those examples.

- Removed the example program ftp3rdparty.c since libcurl doesn't support
  3rd party FTP transfers any longer.

Daniel S (12 July 2007)
- Shmulik Regev found an (albeit rare) case where the proxy CONNECT operation
  could in fact get stuck in an endless loop.

- Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation:
  fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert.
  We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the
  feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone.

Daniel S (11 July 2007)
- Shmulik Regev fixed a bug with transfer-encoding skipping during the 407
  error pages for proxy authentication.

- Giancarlo Formicuccia reported and fixed a problem with a closed connection
  to a proxy during CONNECT auth negotiation.

Dan F (10 July 2007)
- Fixed a curl memory leak reported by Song Ma with a modified version
  of the patch he suggested.  Added his test case as test289 to verify.

- Force the time zone to GMT in the cookie tests in case the user is
  using one of the so-called 'right' time zones that take into account
  leap seconds, which causes the tests to fail (as reported by
  Daniel Black in bug report #1745964).

Version 7.16.4 (10 July 2007)

Daniel S (10 July 2007)
- Kees Cook notified us about a security flaw
  (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20070710.html) in which libcurl failed to
  properly reject some outdated or not yet valid server certificates when
  built with GnuTLS. Kees also provided the patch.

James H (5 July 2007)
- Gavrie Philipson provided a patch that will use a more specific error
  message for an scp:// upload failure.  If libssh2 has his matching
  patch, then the error message return by the server will be used instead
  of a more generic error.

Daniel S (1 July 2007)
- Thomas J. Moore provided a patch that introduces Kerberos5 support in
  libcurl. This also makes the options change name to --krb (from --krb4) and
  CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL (from CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL) but the old names are still 

- Song Ma helped me verify and extend a fix for doing FTP over a SOCKS4/5
  proxy.

Daniel S (27 June 2007)
- James Housley: Add two new options for the SFTP/SCP/FILE protocols:
  CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS. These control the
  premissions for files and directories created on the remote
  server. CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS defaults to 0644 and
  CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS defaults to 0755

- I corrected the 10-at-a-time.c example and applied a patch for it by James
  Bursa.

Daniel S (26 June 2007)
- Robert Iakobashvili re-arranged the internal hash code to work with a custom
  hash function for different hashes, and also expanded the default size for
  the socket hash table used in multi handles to greatly enhance speed when
  very many connections are added and the socket API is used.

- James Housley made the CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY mode work for SFTP directory
  listings as well

Daniel S (25 June 2007)
- Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth or
  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.
  
Version 7.16.3 (25 June 2007)

Daniel S (23 June 2007)
- As reported by "Tro" in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0161.html and
  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.

Daniel S (21 June 2007)
- Gerrit Bruchhäuser pointed out a warning that the Intel(R) Thread Checker
  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.
  
Daniel S (20 June 2007)
- Adam Piggott filed bug report #1740263
  (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...

Daniel S (18 June 2007)
- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1739100
  (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).

Daniel S (14 June 2007)
- Shmulik Regev:

  I've encountered (and hopefully fixed) a problem involving proxy CONNECT
  requests and easy handles state management. The problem isn't simple to
  reproduce since it depends on socket state. It only manifests itself when
  working with non-blocking sockets.

  Here is the scenario:

  1. in multi_runsingle the easy handle is in the CURLM_STATE_WAITCONNECT and
  calls Curl_protocol_connect

  2. in Curl_proxyCONNECT, line 1247, if the socket isn't ready the function
  returns and conn->bits.tunnel_connecting is TRUE

  3. when the call to Curl_protocol_connect returns the protocol_connect flag
  is false and the easy state is changed to CURLM_STATE_PROTOCONNECT which
  isn't correct if a proxy is used.  Rather CURLM_STATE_WAITPROXYCONNECT
  should be used.

  I discovered this while performing an HTTPS request through a proxy (squid)
  on my local network. The problem caused openssl to fail as it read the proxy
  response to the CONNECT call ('HTTP/1.0 Established') rather than the SSL
  handshake (the exact openssl error was 'wrong ssl version' but this isn't
  very important)

- Dave Vasilevsky filed bug report #1736875
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1736875) almost simultanouesly as Dan
  Fandrich mentioned a related build problem on the libcurl mailing list:
  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0131.html. Both problems had the same
  reason: the definitions of the POLL* defines and the pollfd struct in the
  libcurl code was depending on HAVE_POLL instead of HAVE_SYS_POLL_H.

Daniel S (13 June 2007)
- Tom Regner provided a patch and worked together with James Housley, so now
  CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS works for SFTP connections as well as FTP
  ones.

- Rich Rauenzahn filed bug report #1733119
  (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.

Daniel S (12 June 2007)
- James Housley brought his revamped SSH code that is state-machine driven to
  really take advantage of the now totally non-blocking libssh2 (in CVS).

Dan F (8 June 2007)
- Incorporated Daniel Black's test706 and test707 SOCKS test cases.

- Fixed a few problems when starting the SOCKS server.

- Reverted some recent changes to runtests.pl that weren't compatible with
  perl 5.0.

- Fixed the test harness so that it actually kills the ssh being used as
  the SOCKS server.

Daniel S (6 June 2007)
- -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.

Daniel S (31 May 2007)
- Feng Tu made (lib)curl support "upload" resuming work for file:// URLs.

Daniel S (30 May 2007)
- I modified the 10-at-a-time.c example to transfer 500 downloads in parallel
  with a c-ares enabled build only 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.

  Extra note: starting now we require c-ares 1.4.0 for asynchronous name
  resolves.

- Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for setting
  the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.

Daniel S (27 May 2007)
- When working with a problem Stefan Becker had, I found an off-by-one buffer
  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).

Daniel S (25 May 2007)
- Rob Crittenden fixed bug #1705802
  (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.

Daniel S (24 May 2007)
- Song Ma filed bug report #1724016
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1724016) noticing that downloading
  glob-ranges for TFTP was broken in CVS. Fixed now.
  
- 'mytx' in bug report #1723194 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1723194)
  pointed out that the warnf() function in the curl tool didn't properly deal
  with the cases when excessively long words were used in the string to chop
  up.

Daniel S (22 May 2007)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak in the function that verifies the
  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. He also fixed a leak when PKCS #12 parsing failed.

Daniel S (18 May 2007)
- Feng Tu reported that curl -w did wrong on TFTP transfers in 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.

Daniel S (17 May 2007)
- Feng Tu pointed out a division by zero error in the TFTP connect timeout
  code for timeouts less than five seconds, and also provided a fix for it.
  Bug report #1715392 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715392)

Dan F (16 May 2007)
- Added support for compiling under Minix 3.1.3 using ACK.

Dan F (14 May 2007)
- Added SFTP directory listing test case 613.

- Added support for quote commands before a transfer using SFTP and test
  case 614.

- Changed the post-quote commands to occur after the transferred file is
  closed.

- Allow SFTP quote commands chmod, chown, chgrp to set a value of 0.

Dan F (9 May 2007)
- Kristian Gunstone fixed a problem where overwriting an uploaded file with
  sftp didn't truncate it first, which would corrupt the file if the new
  file was shorter than the old.

Dan F (8 May 2007)
- Added FTPS test cases 406 and 407

Daniel S (8 May 2007)
- CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_STOR_FILE is now known as CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED. This is
  because I just made SCP uploads return this value if the file size of
  the upload file isn't given with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE*. Docs updated to
  reflect this news, and a define for the old name was added to the public
  header file.

Daniel S (7 May 2007)
- James Bursa fixed a bug in the multi handle code that made the connection
  cache grow a bit too much, beyond the normal 4 * easy_handles.

Daniel S (2 May 2007)
- Anders Gustafsson remarked that requiring CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION set to 1.0
  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.

- Tobias Rundström reported a problem they experienced with xmms2 and recent
  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.

- Jeff Pohlmeyer improved the hiperfifo.c example to use the
  CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback option.

- Set the timeout for easy handles to expire really soon after addition or
  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.

Dan F (30 April 2007)
- Improved the test harness to allow running test servers on other than
  the default port numbers, allowing more than one test suite to run
  simultaneously on the same host.

Daniel S (28 April 2007)
- Peter O'Gorman fixed libcurl to not init GnuTLS as early as we did before,
  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.

- Frank Hempel fixed a curl_easy_duphandle() crash on a handle that had
  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.

Daniel S (26 April 2007)
- Peter O'Gorman found a problem with SCP downloads when the downloaded file
  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...

Dan F (25 April 2007)
- Added support in runtests.pl for "!n" test numbers to disable individual
  tests.  Changed -t to only keep log files around when -k is specified,
  to have the same behaviour as without -t.

Daniel S (25 April 2007)
- Sonia Subramanian brought our attention to a problem that happens if you set
  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.

Yang Tse (25 April 2007)
- Steve Little fixed compilation on VMS 64-bit mode

Daniel S (24 April 2007)
- Robert Iakobashvili made the 'master_buffer' get allocated first once it is
  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.

Dan F (23 April 2007)
- Added <postcheck> support to the test harness.

- Added tests 610-612 to test more SFTP post-quote commands.

Daniel S (22 April 2007)
- Song Ma's warning if -r/--range is given with a "bad" range, also noted in
  the man page now.

- Daniel Black filed bug #1705177
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705177) where --without-ssl
  --with-gnutl outputs a warning about SSL not being enabled even though GnuTLS
  was found and used.

Daniel S (21 April 2007)
- Daniel Black filed bug #1704675
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1704675) 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.

Yang Tse (20 April 2007)
- Save one call to curlx_tvnow(), which calls gettimeofday(), in each of
  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.

Daniel S (18 April 2007)
- James Housley made SFTP uploads use libssh2's non-blocking API

- Prevent the internal progress meter from updating more frequently than once
  per second.

Dan F (17 April 2007)
- Added test cases 296, 297 and 298 to test --ftp-method handling

Daniel S (16 April 2007)
- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is a
  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*().

  I added a define in the public curl/multi.h header file that will make your
  existing application automatically use curl_multi_socket_action() instead of
  curl_multi_socket() when you recompile. But of course you'll get better
  performance if you adjust your code manually and actually pass in the
  correct action bitmask to this function.

Daniel S (14 April 2007)
- Jay Austin added "DH PARAMETERS" to the stunnel.pem certificate for the test
  suite to make stunnel run better in some (most?) environments.

Dan F (13 April 2007)
- Added test cases 294 and 295 to test --ftp-account handling

- Improved handling of out of memory in ftp.

Yang Tse (13 April 2007)
- Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance
  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.

Daniel S (12 April 2007)
- Song Ma found a memory leak in the if2ip code if you pass in an interface
  name longer than the name field of the ifreq struct (typically 6 bytes), as
  then it wouldn't close the used dummy socket. Bug #1698974
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1698974)

Version 7.16.2 (11 April 2007)

Yang Tse (10 April 2007)
- Ravi Pratap provided some fixes for HTTP pipelining

- configure script will ignore --enable-sspi option for non-native Windows.

Daniel S (9 April 2007)
- Nick Zitzmann did ssh.c cleanups

Daniel S (3 April 2007)
- Rob Jones fixed better #ifdef'ing for a bunch of #include lines.

Daniel S (2 April 2007)
- Nick Zitzmann made the CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE option work for SFTP as well. The
  accepted commands are as follows:

  chgrp (gid) (path)
    Changes the group ID of the file or directory at (path) to (gid). (gid)
    must be a number.

  chmod (perms) (path)
    Changes the permissions of the file or directory at (path) to
    (perms). (perms) must be a number in the format used by the chmod Unix
    command.

  chown (uid) (path)
    Changes the user ID of the file or directory at (path) to (uid). (uid)
    must be a number.

  ln (source) (dest)
    Creates a symbolic link at (dest) that points to the file located at
    (source).

  mkdir (path)
    Creates a new directory at (path).

  rename (source) (dest)
    Moves the file or directory at (source) to (dest).

  rm (path)
    Deletes the file located at (path).

  rmdir (path)
    Deletes the directory located at (path). This command will raise an error
    if the directory is not empty.

  symlink (source) (dest)
    Same as ln.

Daniel S (1 April 2007)
- Robert Iakobashvili made curl_multi_remove_handle() a lot faster when many
  easy handles are added to a multi handle, by avoiding the looping over all
  the handles to find which one to remove.

- Matt Kraai provided a patch that makes curl build on QNX 6 fine again.

Daniel S (31 March 2007)
- Fixed several minor issues detected by the coverity.com scanner.

- "Pixel" fixed a problem that appeared when you used -f with user+password
  embedded in the URL.

Dan F (29 March 2007)
- Don't tear down the ftp connection if the maximum filesize was exceeded
  and added tests 290 and 291 to check.

- Added ftps upload and SSL required tests 401 and 402.

- Send an EOF message before closing an SCP channel, as recommended by
  RFC4254. Enable libssh2 tracing when ssh debugging is turned on.

Yang Tse (27 March 2007)
- Internal function Curl_select() renamed to Curl_socket_ready()

  New Internal wrapper function Curl_select() around select (2), it
  uses poll() when a fine poll() is available, so now libcurl can be
  built without select() support at all if a fine poll() is available.

Daniel S (25 March 2007)
- Daniel Johnson fixed multi code to traverse the easy handle list properly.
  A left-over bug from the February 21 fix.

Dan F (23 March 2007)
- Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP,
  plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well.

- Changed the test harness to attempt to gracefully shut down servers
  before resorting to the kill -9 hammer.

- Added test harness infrastructure to support scp/sftp tests, using
  OpenSSH as the server.

- Fixed a memory leak when specifying a proxy with a file: URL.

Yang Tse (20 March 2007)
- Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()
  or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the
  specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a
  signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither
  function would ever exit.

  Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in
  Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR
  defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it
  at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be
  revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.

Yang Tse (19 March 2007)
- Bryan Henderson fixed the progress function so that it can get called more
  frequently allowing same calling frecuency for the client progress callback.
  
Dan F (15 March 2007)
- Various memory leaks plugged and NULL pointer fixes made in the ssh code.

Daniel (15 March 2007)
- Nick made the curl tool accept globbing ranges that only is one number, i.e
  you can now use [1-1] without curl complaining.

Daniel (10 March 2007)
- Eygene Ryabinkin:

  The problem is the following: when we're calling Curl_done and it decides to
  keep the connection opened ('left intact'), then the caller is not notified
  that the connection was done via the NULLifying of the pointer, so some easy
  handle is keeping the pointer to this connection.

  Later ConnectionExists can select such connection for reuse even if we're
  not pipelining: pipeLen is zero, so the (pipeLen > 0 && !canPipeline) is
  false and we can reuse this connection for another easy handle. But thus the
  connection will be shared between two easy handles if the handle that wants
  to take the ownership is not the same as was not notified of the connection
  was done in Curl_done. And when some of these easy handles will get their
  connection really freed the another one will still keep the pointer.

  My fix was rather trivial: I just added the NULLification to the 'else'
  branch in the Curl_done. My tests with Git and ElectricFence showed no
  problems both for HTTP pulling and cloning. Repository size is about 250 Mb,
  so it was a considerable amount of Curl's work.

Dan F (9 March 2007)
- Updated the test harness to add a new "crypto" feature check and updated the
  appropriate test case to use it.  For now, this is treated the same as the
  "SSL" feature because curl doesn't list it separately.

Daniel (9 March 2007)
- Robert Iakobashvili fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE for IPv6.

- Robert A. Monat improved the maketgz and VC6/8 generating to set the correct
  machine type too.

- Justin Fletcher fixed a file descriptor leak in the curl tool when trying to
  upload a file it couldn't open. Bug #1676581
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1676581)

Dan F (9 March 2007)
- Updated the test harness to check for protocol support before running each
  test, fixing KNOWN_BUGS #11.

Dan F (7 March 2007)
- Reintroduced (after a 3 year hiatus) an FTPS test case (400) into the test
  harness.  It is very limited as it supports only ftps:// URLs with
  --ftp-ssl-control specified, which implicitly encrypts the control
  channel but not the data channels.  That allows stunnel to be used with
  an unmodified ftp server in exactly the same way that the test https
  server is set up.

Dan F (7 March 2007)
- Honour --ftp-ssl-control on ftps:// URLs to allow encrypted control and
  unencrypted data connections.

Dan F (6 March 2007)
- Fixed a couple of improper pointer uses detected by valgrind in test
  cases 181 & 216.

Daniel (2 March 2007)
- Robert A. Monat and Shmulik Regev helped out to fix the new */Makefile.vc8
  makefiles that are included in the source release archives, generated from
  the Makefile.vc6 files by the maketgz script. I also modified the root
  Makefile to have a VC variable that defaults to vc6 but can be overridden to
  allow it to be used for vc8 as well. Like this:

    nmake VC=vc8 vc

Daniel (27 February 2007)
- Hang Kin Lau found and fixed: When I use libcurl to connect to an https
  server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the
  CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first
  request.
 
  User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of
  the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not
  originally http).
 
  I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to
  regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as
  follows and it's working fine so far

Daniel (25 February 2007)
- Adam D. Moss made the HTTP CONNECT procedure less blocking when used from
  the multi interface. Note that it still does a part of the connection in a
  blocking manner.

Daniel (23 February 2007)
- Added warning outputs if the command line uses more than one of the options
  -v, --trace and --trace-ascii, since it could really confuse the user.
  Clarified this fact in the man page.

Daniel (21 February 2007)
- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust and
  fixing some bugs:
  o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline
  o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline
  o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning
    chunked encoding:
    * Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF
    * Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining
    * Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving
      headers

Daniel (20 February 2007)
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing changed the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option to handle
  active and passive CCC shutdown and added the --ftp-ssl-ccc-mode command
  line option.

Daniel (19 February 2007)
- Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl.

- Shmulik Regev found a memory leak in re-used HTTPS connections, at least
  when the multi interface was used.

- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 and
  5).

Daniel (18 February 2007)
- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with
  the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
  curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.

  The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
  the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
  marked for closure.

Daniel (16 February 2007)
- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resetting
  CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP.

Dan F (14 February 2007)
- Fixed curl-config --libs so it doesn't list unnecessary libraries (and
  therefore introduce unnecessary dependencies) when it's not needed.
  Also, don't bother adding a library path of /usr/lib

Daniel (13 February 2007)
- The default password for anonymous FTP connections is now changed to be
  "ftp@example.com".

- Robert A. Monat made libcurl build fine with VC2005 - it doesn't have
  gmtime_r() like the older VC versions. He also made use of some machine-
  specific defines to differentiate the "OS" define.

Daniel (12 February 2007)
- Rob Crittenden added support for NSS (Network Security Service) for the
  SSL/TLS layer. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/

  This is the fourth supported library for TLS/SSL that libcurl supports!

- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent
  to the debug callback.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
  CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
  internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
  preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
  command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.

- release tarballs made with maketgz will from now on have a LIBCURL_TIMESTAMP
  define set to hold the exact date and time of when the tarball was built, as
  a human readable string using the UTC time zone.
  
- Jeff Pohlmeyer fixed a flaw in curl_multi_add_handle() when adding a handle
  that has an easy handle present in the "closure" list pending closure.

Daniel (6 February 2007)
- Regular file downloads wiht SFTP and SCP are now done using the non-blocking
  API of libssh2, if the libssh2 headers seem to support them. This will make
  SCP and SFTP much more responsive and better libcurl citizens when used with
  the multi interface etc.

Daniel (5 February 2007)
- Michael Wallner added support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and
  CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names suggest, do the timeouts with
  millisecond resolution. The only restriction to that is the alarm()
  (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full seconds. I fixed
  the FTP response timeout part of the patch.

  Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
  means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
  timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
  equals 24.86 days.  We probably couldn't before either since the code did
  *1000 on the timeout values on several places already.

Daniel (3 February 2007)
- Yang Tse fixed the cookie expiry date in several test cases that started to
  fail since they used "1 feb 2007"...

- Manfred Schwarb reported that socks5 support was broken and help us pinpoint
  the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where
  apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP...

Version 7.16.1 (29 January 2007)

Daniel (29 January 2007)
- Michael Wallner reported that when doing a CONNECT with a custom User-Agent
  header, you got _two_ User-Agent headers in the CONNECT request...! Added
  test case 287 to verify the fix.

Daniel (28 January 2007)
- curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly.

- David McCreedy fixed the Curl command line tool for HTTP on non-ASCII
  platforms.

Daniel (25 January 2007)
- Added the --libcurl [file] option to curl. Append this option to any
  ordinary curl command line, and you will get a libcurl-using source code
  written to the file that does the equivalent operation of what your command
  line operation does!

Dan F (24 January 2007)
- Fixed a dangling pointer problem that prevented the http_proxy environment
  variable from being properly used in many cases (and caused test case 63
  to fail).

Daniel (23 January 2007)
- David McCreedy did NTLM changes mainly for non-ASCII platforms:

  #1
  There's a compilation error in http_ntlm.c if USE_NTLM2SESSION is NOT
  defined.  I noticed this while testing various configurations.  Line 867 of
  the current http_ntlm.c is a closing bracket for an if/else pair that only
  gets compiled in if USE_NTLM2SESSION is defined.  But this closing bracket
  wasn't in an #ifdef so the code fails to compile unless USE_NTLM2SESSION was
  defined.  Lines 198 and 140 of my patch wraps that closing bracket in an
  #ifdef USE_NTLM2SESSION.

  #2
  I noticed several picky compiler warnings when DEBUG_ME is defined.  I've
  fixed them with casting.  By the way, DEBUG_ME was a huge help in
  understanding this code.

  #3
  Hopefully the last non-ASCII conversion patch for libcurl in a while.  I
  changed the "NTLMSSP" literal to hex since this signature must always be in
  ASCII.

  Conversion code was strategically added where necessary.  And the
  Curl_base64_encode calls were changed so the binary "blobs" http_ntlm.c
  creates are NOT translated on non-ASCII platforms.

Dan F (22 January 2007)
- Converted (most of) the test data files into genuine XML.  A handful still
  are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
  (e.g. & => &amp; ).  This will make it easier to validate test files using
  tools like xmllint, as well as to edit and view them using XML tools.

Daniel (16 January 2007)
- Armel Asselin improved libcurl to behave a lot better when an easy handle
  doing an FTP transfer is removed from a multi handle before completion. The
  fix also fixed the "alive counter" to be correct on "premature removal" for
  all protocols.

Dan F (16 January 2007)
- Fixed a small memory leak in tftp uploads discovered by curl's memory leak
  detector.  Also changed tftp downloads to URL-unescape the downloaded
  file name.

Daniel (14 January 2007)
- David McCreedy provided libcurl changes for doing HTTP communication on
  non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more
  #ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can
  add it without the extra stuff added.

- Setting CURLOPT_COOKIELIST to "ALL" when no cookies at all was present,
  libcurl would crash when trying to read a NULL pointer.

Daniel (12 January 2007)
- Toby Peterson found a nasty bug that prevented (lib)curl from properly
  downloading (most) things that were larger than 4GB on 32 bit systems.  Matt
  Witherspoon helped as narrow down the problem.

Daniel (5 January 2007)
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing introduced the --ftp-ssl-ccc command line option to
  curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
  will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
  FTP-SSL operation.

Daniel (4 January 2007)
- David McCreedy made changes to allow base64 encoding/decoding to work on
  non-ASCII platforms.

Daniel (3 January 2007)
- Matt Witherspoon fixed the flaw which made libcurl 7.16.0 always store
  downloaded data in two buffers, just to be able to deal with a special HTTP
  pipelining case. That is now only activated for pipelined transfers. In
  Matt's case, it showed as a considerable performance difference,

Daniel (2 January 2007)
- Victor Snezhko helped us fix bug report #1603712
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) (known bug #36) --limit-rate
  (CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken
  on Windows (since 7.16.0, but that's when they were introduced as previous
  to that the limiting logic was made in the application only and not in the
  library). It was actually also broken on select()-based systems (as apposed
  to poll()) but we haven't had any such reports. We now use select(), Sleep()
  or delay() properly to sleep a while without waiting for anything input or
  output when the rate limiting is activated with the easy interface.

- Modified libcurl.pc.in to use Libs.private for the libs libcurl itself needs
  to get built static. It has been mentioned before and was again brought to
  our attention by Nathanael Nerode who filed debian bug report #405226
  (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405226).
