-Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a case of spurious SSL connection aborts using
|
|
|
- libcurl and OpenSSL. "I tracked it down to uncleared error state on the
|
|
|
- OpenSSL error stack - patch attached deals with that."
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Frank Meier added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP and
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT to curl_easy_getinfo().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (4 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Enabled OpenLDAP support for cygwin builds. This support was disabled back
|
|
|
- in 2008 due to incompatibilities between OpenSSL and OpenLDAP headers.
|
|
|
- cygwin's OpenSSL 0.9.8l and OpenLDAP 2.3.43 versions on cygwin 1.5.25
|
|
|
- allow building an OpenLDAP enabled libcurl supporting back to Windows 95.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Removed the non-functional CURL_LDAP_HYBRID code and references.
|

|
-Daniel Stenberg (2 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Jason McDonald posted bug report #3006786 when he found that the SFTP code
|
|
|
- didn't timeout properly in several places in the code even if a timeout was
|
|
|
- set properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Based on his suggested patch, I wrote a different implementation that I
|
|
|
- think addressed the issue better and also uses the connect timeout for the
|
|
|
- initial part of the SSH/SFTP done during the "protocol connect" phase.

-Yang Tse (2 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Added missing new libcurl files to non-configure targets. Adjusted
|
|
|
- libcurl standard internal header inclusions in new files. Fixed an
|
|
|
- SPNEGO related memory leak. Fixed several LDAP related compilation
|
|
|
- issues, and fixed some compiler warnings.

|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2010)
|
|
|
-- Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and using
|
|
|
- timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with libcurl's use of
|
|
|
- GetTickCount() interally to figure out the current time, while Igor's own
|
|
|
- application code used another function call.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit _before_ libcurl
|
|
|
- would consider the timeout to trigger, and that could easily lead to
|
|
|
- timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems GetTickCount() in general often has
|
|
|
- no better resolution than 16ms and switching to the alternative function
|
|
|
- QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:
|
|
|
- http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers that already
|
|
|
- has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for treatment. I'm confident
|
|
|
- that there are other implementations and operating systems with similarly in
|
|
|
- accurate timer functions so it makes sense to have applied generically and I
|
|
|
- don't believe we sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these
|
|
|
- timeouts.

-Kamil Dudka (27 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- added a new test for CRL support (test313)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen changed the alternative definition of bool to use enum instead
|
|
|
- of unsigned char.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Julien Chaffraix fixed the warning seen when compiling lib/rtmp.c: one
|
|
|
- unused variables, several unused arguments and some missing #include.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Julien Chaffraix fixed 2 OOM errors: a missing NULL-check in
|
|
|
- lib/http_negociate.c and a potential NULL dereferencing in lib/splay.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Howard Chu brought a patch that makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and
|
|
|
- in general being a better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version
|
|
|
- is detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used instead of the
|
|
|
- old cruft.

-Daniel Stenberg (21 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the correct timeout
|
|
|
- option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th 2010) it became obvious that
|
|
|
- libcurl used invalid timeout values (300 by default while the RFC allows
|
|
|
- nothing above 255). While of course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked
|
|
|
- thus far without being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
|
|
|
- wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep it (but
|
|
|
- fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier (future) customization
|
|
|
- of the timeout.

|
|
|

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Douglas Kilpatrick filed bug report #3004787 and pointed out that the TFTP
|
|
|
- code didn't handle block id wraps correctly. His suggested fix inspired the
|
|
|
- fix I committed.

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (18 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the libcurl TFTP
|
|
|
- code was not sending the timeout option properly to the server, and
|
|
|
- suggested a fix.

-Kamil Dudka (16 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Pavel Raiskup introduced a new option CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA in order to pass
|
|
|
- a custom data pointer to the callback specified by CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (14 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with an
|
|
|
- associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine when the multi
|
|
|
- interface is used:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using select or
|
|
|
- epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears that the cause is the
|
|
|
- fix for bug #2958179, which makes ossl_connect_common unconditionally return
|
|
|
- from the step 2 loop when fetching from a multi handle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates connssl->connecting_state
|
|
|
- to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common will then return to the caller, as a
|
|
|
- multi handle is in use. Eventually, the client code will call
|
|
|
- curl_multi_fdset to obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
|
|
|
- requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
|
|
|
- https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the connecting_state is
|
|
|
- ssl_connect_2_reading or ssl_connect_2_writing. Therefore, the client will
|
|
|
- never obtain a valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting
|
|
|
- in a hang.

|
|
-- Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with redirect
|
|
|
- following. It showed that when curl followed redirects it didn't properly
|
|
|
- ignore the response body of the 30X response if that response was using
|
|
|
- compressed Content-Encoding!

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Howard Chu brought support for RTMP. This is powered by the underlying
|
|
|
- librtmp library. It supports a range of variations and "sub-protocols"
|
|
|
- within the RTMP family.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Pavel Raiskup brought support for FTP directory wildcard matching to allow
|
|
|
- selective downloading. To provide that, a set of new options were added:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- There were also a set of new tests added (574 - 577) to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Kamil Dudka (11 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- CRL support in libcurl-NSS has been completely broken. Now it works. Original
|
|
|
- bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/581926
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi interface,
|
|
|
- there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store connect time correctly as
|
|
|
- it used to (and is documented to) do.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up test case
|
|
|
- 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show itself using the local
|
|
|
- test suite though.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as it adds yet
|
|
|
- another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the TIMER_CONNECT time.
|
|
|
- That situation is subject for some closer inspection in the future.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Howard Chu split the I/O handling functions into private handlers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly moves out the
|
|
|
- sending and recving of data to the parts of the code that are properly
|
|
|
- responsible for the various ways of doing so.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some minor
|
|
|
- flaws in the original patch.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less with the
|
|
|
- "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more consistently.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2010)
|
|
|
-- Hoi-Ho Chan introduced support for using the PolarSSL library. You control
|
|
|
- this with the new configure option --with-polarssl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear made telnet a lot better/easier to use by an application:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods, when they are
|
|
|
- specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION. All calls to fflush(stdout) in
|
|
|
- telnet.c were removed, which makes using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful
|
|
|
- since prompts and other data are not always returned to the user promptly.
|
|
|
- Use 'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead. In general, the user
|
|
|
- should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush for interactive use.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
|
|
|
- Old code could crash in that case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Call progress functions in telnet main loop.
|
|
|

|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Make use of the libssh2_init/exit functions that libssh2 added in version
|
|
|
- 1.2.5. Using them will improve how libcurl works in threaded situations when
|
|
|
- SCP and SFTP are transfered.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (25 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Based on work by Kamil Dudka, I've introduced the new configure option
|
|
|
- --enable-threaded-resolver. When used, the configure script will check for
|
|
|
- pthreads and if around, it will build libcurl to use pthreads to do name
|
|
|
- resolving in a threaded manner. Note that this is just a fix to offer an
|
|
|
- option that can enable the code that already included. The threader resolver
|
|
|
- code was mostly added on Jan 26 2010.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Alex Bligh introduced the --proto and -proto-redir options that limit what
|
|
|
- protocols curl accepts for the requests and when following redirects.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Kamil Dudka (24 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Fixed test536 in order to not fail with threaded DNS resolver and tweaked
|
|
|
- comments in certain examples using curl_multi_fdset().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed SSL handshake timeout underflow in libcurl-NSS, which caused test405
|
|
|
- to hang on a slow machine.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (21 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- The -O option caused curl to crash on windows and DOS due to the tool
|
|
|
- writing out of boundary memory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (20 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Ruslan Gazizov detected that MSVC makefiles were using wsock32.lib instead
|
|
|
- of ws2_32.lib, this generated linking issues on MSVC IPv6 enabled builds
|
|
|
- that were done using those makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (19 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- -J/--remote-header-name didn't strip trailing carriage returns or linefeeds
|
|
|
- properly, so they could be used in the file name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (16 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Jerome Vouillon made the GnuTLS SSL handshake phase non-blocking.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made the GnuTLS specific code
|
|
|
- treat a zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this caused
|
|
|
- our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer code to detect if
|
|
|
- an EOF is a problem or not.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I reverted the resolver fix from yesterday and instead removed all uses of
|
|
|
- AI_CANONNAME all over libcurl and made the only user of that info (krb5.c)
|
|
|
- use the host name from the URL instead. No reverse resolving is a good
|
|
|
- thing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Paul Howarth made configure properly detect GSS "on ancient Linux distros"
|
|
|
- by editing in which order we use headers to detect GSS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (15 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Rainer Canavan filed bug report #2987196 that identified libcurl doing
|
|
|
- unnecesary reverse name lookups in many cases when built to use IPv4 and
|
|
|
- getaddrinfo(). The logic for IPv6 is now used for IPv4 too.

|
|
|
-- Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only worked for the
|
|
|
- postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case 227 has been extended to
|
|
|
- verify.

-Kamil Dudka (4 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Eliminated a race condition in Curl_resolv_timeout().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Refactorized interface of Curl_ssl_recv()/Curl_ssl_send().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- libcurl-NSS now provides more accurate messages and error codes in case of
|
|
|
- client certificate problem. Either during connection, or transfer phase.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2010)
|
|
|
-- Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the code
|
|
|
- treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as EAGAIN while in
|
|
|
- reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in SFTP transfers from a
|
|
|
- MessageWay server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2010)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear: If you pass a URL to pop3 that does not contain a message ID as
|
|
|
- part of the URL, it would previously ask for 'INBOX' which just causes the
|
|
|
- pop3 server to return an error.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now libcurl treats en empty message ID as a request for LIST (list of pop3
|
|
|
- message IDs). User's code could then parse this and download individual
|
|
|
- messages as desired.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (27 Mar 2010)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear brought a patch that from now on allows all protocols to specify
|
|
|
- name and user within the URL, in the same manner HTTP and FTP have been
|
|
|
- allowed to in the past - although far from all of the libcurl supported
|
|
|
- protocls actually have that feature in their URL definition spec.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (26 Mar 2010)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear brought code that makes the rate limiting code for the easy
|
|
|
- interface a bit smoother as it introduces sub-second sleeps during it and it
|
|
|
- also takes the buffer sizes into account.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (24 Mar 2010)
|
|
|
-- Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will read new HTTP
|
|
|
- response data from a socket, then check if it's a timeout if one is set. If
|
|
|
- the last packet received constitutes the end of the response body, libcurl
|
|
|
- still treats it as a timeout condition and reports a message like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- "Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876 bytes
|
|
|
- received"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T receive the end
|
|
|
- of the response body yet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Christopher Conroy fixed a problem with RTSP and GET_PARAMETER reported
|
|
|
- to us by Massimo Callegari. There's a new test case 572 that verifies this
|
|
|
- now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The 'ares' subtree has been removed from the source repository. It was
|
|
|
- always a separate project that sort of piggybacked on the curl project since
|
|
|
- the dawn of times and now the time has come for it to go stand on its own
|
|
|
- legs and continue living its own life. All details on c-ares and its new

-- Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a problem he
|
|
|
- experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over a proxy using
|
|
|
- PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect fine but bits.tcpconnect
|
|
|
- was not set correct so libcurl didn't work properly.

-- Akos Pasztory filed debian bug report #572276
|
|
|
- https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572276 mentioning a problem
|
|
|
- with a resource that returns chunked-encoded _and_ with a Content-Length
|
|
|
- and libcurl failed to properly ignore the latter information.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi interface crash.
|
|
|
- His example simply used the multi interface and did first one FTP transfer
|
|
|
- and after completion it used a second easy handle and did another FTP
|
|
|
- transfer on the same FTP server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system that curl

- uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep an easy handle
|
|
|
- around internally - only for the purpose of having an easy handle when it
|
|
|
- later disconnects it. The code assumed that when the easy handle was removed
|
|
|
- and an internal reference was made, that version could be killed later on
|
|
|
- when a new easy handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as
|
|
|
- Hauke's example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real until
|
|
|
- later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.

-- Thomas Lopatic fixed the alarm()-based DNS timeout:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Looking at the code of Curl_resolv_timeout() in hostip.c, I think that in
|
|
|
- case of a timeout, the signal handler for SIGALRM never gets removed. I
|
|
|
- think that in my case it gets executed at some point later on when execution
|
|
|
- has long left Curl_resolv_timeout() or even the cURL library.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The code that is jumped to with siglongjmp() simply sets the error message
|
|
|
- to "name lookup timed out" and then returns with CURLRESOLV_ERROR. I guess
|
|
|
- that instead of simply returning without cleaning up, the code should have a
|
|
|
- goto that jumps to the spot right after the call to Curl_resolv().

-- [Daniel Johnson] I've been trying to build libcurl with clang on Darwin and
|
|
|
- ran into some issues with the GSSAPI tests in configure.ac. The tests first
|
|
|
- try to determine the include dirs and libs and set CPPFLAGS and LIBS
|
|
|
- accordingly. It then checks for the headers and finally sets LIBS a second
|
|
|
- time, causing the libs to be included twice. The first setting of LIBS seems
|
|
|
- redundant and should be left out, since the first part is otherwise just
|
|
|
- about finding headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- My second issue is that 'krb5-config --libs gssapi' on Darwin is less than
|
|
|
- useless and returns junk that, while it happens to work with gcc, causes
|
|
|
- clang to choke. For example, --libs returns $CFLAGS along with the libs,
|
|
|
- which is really retarded. Simply setting 'LIBS="$LIBS -lgssapi_krb5
|
|
|
- -lresolv"' on Darwin is sufficient.

|
-- Using the multi_socket API, it turns out at times it seemed to "forget"
|
|
|
- connections (which caused a hang). It turned out to be an existing (7.19.7)
|
|
|
- bug in libcurl (that's been around for a long time) and it happened like
|
|
|
- this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The app calls curl_multi_add_handle() to add a new easy handle, libcurl will
|
|
|
- then set it to timeout in 1 millisecond so libcurl will tell the app about
|
|
|
- it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The app's timeout fires off that there's a timeout, the app calls libcurl as
|
|
|
- we so often document it:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- do {
|
|
|
- res = curl_multi_socket_action(... TIMEOUT ...);
|
|
|
- } while(CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM == res);
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- And this is the problem number one:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When curl_multi_socket_action() is called with no specific handle, but only
|
|
|
- a timeout-action, it will *only* perform actions within libcurl that are
|
|
|
- marked to run at this time. In this case, the request would go from INIT to
|
|
|
- CONNECT and return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM. When the app then calls libcurl
|
|
|
- again, there's no timer set for this handle so it remains in the CONNECT
|
|
|
- state. The CONNECT state is a transitional state in libcurl so it reports no
|
|
|
- sockets there, and thus libcurl never tells the app anything more about that
|
|
|
- easy handle/connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl _does_ set a 1ms timeout for the handle at the end of
|
|
|
- multi_runsingle() if it returns CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM, but since the loop
|
|
|
- is instant the new job is not ready to run at that point (and there's no
|
|
|
- code that makes libcurl call the app to update the timout for this new
|
|
|
- timeout). It will simply rely on that some other timeout will trigger later
|
|
|
- on or that something else will update the timeout callback. This makes the
|
|
|
- bug fairly hard to repeat.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The fix made to adress this issue:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() and
|
|
|
- simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
|
|
|
- benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
|
|
|
- CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The downside of this fix, is that the counter we return in 'running_handles'
|
|
|
- in several of our public functions then gets a slightly new and possibly
|
|
|
- confusing behavior during times:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If an app adds a handle that fails to connect (very quickly) it may just
|
|
|
- as well never appear as a 'running_handle' with this fix. Previously it
|
|
|
- would first bump the counter only to get it decreased again at next call.
|
|
|
- Even I have used that change in handle counter to signal "end of a
|
|
|
- transfer". The only *good* way to find the end of a individual transfer
|
|
|
- is calling curl_multi_info_read() to see if it returns one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Of course, if the app previously did the looping before it checked the
|
|
|
- counter, it really shouldn't be any new effect.

|
-- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. This
|
|
|
- command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
|
|
|
- a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
|
|
|
- seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
|
|
|
- it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
|
|
|
- usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
|
|
|
- that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I added test cases 1107 and 1108 to verify the functionality.

-- Follow-up fix for the proxy fix I did for Jon Nelson's bug. It turned out I
|
|
|
- was a bit too quick and broke test case 1101 with that change. The order of
|
|
|
- some of the setups is sensitive. I now changed it slightly again to make
|
|
|
- sure we do them in this order:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1 - parse URL and figure out what protocol is used in the URL
|
|
|
- 2 - prepend protocol:// to URL if missing
|
|
|
- 3 - parse name+password off URL, which needs to know what protocol is used
|
|
|
- (since only some allows for name+password in the URL)
|
|
|
- 4 - figure out if a proxy should be used set by an option
|
|
|
- 5 - if no proxy option, check proxy environment variables
|
|
|
- 6 - run the protocol-specific setup function, which needs to have the proxy
|
|
|
- already set

-Daniel Stenberg (15 Dec 2009)
|
|
|
-- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurl

|
|
- detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy
|
|
|
- was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
|
|
|
- mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up
|
|
|
- from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added

|
|
|
-- Chris Mumford filed bug report #2861587
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used
|
|
|
- the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would
|
|
|
- load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (16 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Sven Anders reported that we introduced a cert verfication flaw for OpenSSL-
|
|
|
- powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name
|
|
|
- field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP
|
|
|
- entry was present it caused the verification to fail.
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (15 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Moved the libssh2 checks after the SSL library checks. This helps when
|
|
|
- statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be
|
|
|
- set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary if
|
|
|
- the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the
|
|
|
- --static flag would add the dependencies automatically.

-Yang Tse (14 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Revert Joshua Kwan's patch committed 11 Sep 2009.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Some systems poll function sets POLLHUP in revents without setting
|
|
|
- POLLIN, and sets POLLERR without setting POLLIN and POLLOUT. In some
|
|
|
- libcurl code execution paths this could trigger busy wait loops with
|
|
|
- high CPU usage until a timeout condition aborted the loop.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The reverted patch addressed the above issue for a very specific case,
|
|
|
- when awaiting c-ares to resolve. A libcurl-wide fix for Curl_poll now
|
|
|
- superceeds this one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Guenter Knauf (11 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Joshua Kwan provided a patch to pass POLLERR / POLLHUP back to c-ares.
|
|
|
- This fixes a loop problem with high CPU usage.

-Daniel Stenberg (10 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Claes Jakobsson fixed a problem with cookie expiry dates at exctly the epoch
|
|
|
- start second "Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 1970" as the date parser then returns 0
|
|
|
- which internally then is treated as a session cookie. That particular date
|
|
|
- is now made to get the value of 1.

-Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Daniel Johnson found a flaw in the code converting sftp-errors to libcurl
|
|
|
- errors.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (1 Sep 2009)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester made a debug feature for Curl_resolv() that now will force
|
|
|
- libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
|
|
|
- the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
|
|
|
- write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- configure now tries to use pkg-config for a number of sub-dependencies even
|
|
|
- when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
|
|
|
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
|
|
|
- present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
|
|
|
- setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
|
|
|
- add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.

-Daniel Stenberg (31 Aug 2009)
|
|
|
-- When using the multi interface with FTP and you asked for NOBODY, you did no
|
|
|
- QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
|
|
|
- already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
|
|
|
- the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
|
|
|
- hang.

|
|
-- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curl

|
- sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before

|
-Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2009)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates for
|
|
|
- each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
|
|
|
- verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
|
|
|
- specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a

|
|

-Daniel Stenberg (2 Aug 2009)
|
|
|
-- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. We
|
|
|
- should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
|
|
|
- now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
|
|
|
- shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
|
|
|
- Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
|
|
|
- option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (1 Aug 2009)
|
|
|
-- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
|
|
|
- verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
|
|
|
- he did at Black Hat is available here:
|
|
|
- https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
|
|
|
- zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
|
|
|
- were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
|
|
|
- if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
|
|
|
- happily verify that cert for example.com.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl now better uses the length of the extracted name, not using the zero
|
|
|
- termination for getting the string length.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This fixing only made and needed in OpenSSL interfacing code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tanguy Fautre pointed out that OpenSSL's function RAND_screen() (present
|
|
|
- only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we
|
|
|
- agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal
|
|
|
- with this situation.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexander Beedie provided the patch for a noproxy problem: If I have set
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
|
|
|
- could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.

|
-Daniel Stenberg (27 Jul 2009)
|
|
|
-- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
|
|
|
- send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
|
|
|
- from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
|
|
|
- response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
|
|
|
- chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.

|
- OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm, and

|
|
- provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() in addition

-- Added CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA.
|
|
|
- They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for
|

-Kamil Dudka (20 Jul 2009)
|
|
|
-- Claes Jakobsson improved the support for client certificates handling in
|
|
|
- NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected
|
|
|
- automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11
|
|
|
- slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader
|
|
|
- module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the
|
|
|
- unload fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.

-Daniel Fandrich (15 Jul 2009)

-- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug report #2813123
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2813123) and an a patch that fixes the
|
|
|
- problem:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Url A is accessed using auth. Url A redirects to Url B (on a different
|
|
|
- server0. Url B reuses a persistent connection. Url B has auth, even though
|
|
|
- it's on a different server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Note: if Url B does not reuse a persistent connection, auth is not sent.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- reason:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- data->state.first_host is not initialized becuase Curl_http_connect is not
|
|
|
- called when a connection is reused.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Solution:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- move initialization of data->state.first_host to Curl_http. No code before
|
|
|
- Curl_http uses data->state.first_host anyway.

- "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"

|
-- Modified the separators used for CURLOPT_CERTINFO in multi-part outputs. I
|
|

-Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009)
|
|
|
-- Eric Wong's patch:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
|
|
|
- protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
|
|
|
- HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a
|
|
|
- request is still being read, of course.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
|
|
|
- This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
|
|
|
- (and thus sending) is paused.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
|
|
|
- HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).

-- I introduced configure script option --enable-curldebug which now allows
|
|
|
- the decoupled enabling or disabling of the curl debug memory tracking
|
|
|
- feature from the --enable-debug option which no longer controls this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl --version will list 'Debug' feature for debug enabled builds, and
|
|
|
- will list 'TrackMemory' feature for curl debug memory tracking capable
|
|
|
- builds. These features are independent and can be controlled when running
|
|

- the configure script. When --enable-debug is given both features will be
|
|
|
- enabled, unless some restriction prevents memory tracking from being used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code

|
-- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
|
|
|
- in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
|
|
|
- DCL compatible exit code. This fix required the enhancement described next.
|
|
|
- This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
|
|
|
- Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
|
|
|
- and messages." And another patch for docs/examples.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
|
|
|
- and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
|
|
|
- as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
|
|
|
- existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.

|
-- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
|
|
|
- is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
|
|
|
- this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
|
|
|
- libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
|
|
|
- knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
|
|
|
- Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
|
|
|
- wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.

-- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
|
|
|
- create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
|
|
|
- which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
|
|

-- bug report #2796358 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
|
|
|
- out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
|
|
|
- received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
|
|
|
- such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer

- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
|
|
|
- libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
|
|
|
- re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
|
|
|
- the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib

|
- 1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are

-- Based on bug report #2723219 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
|
|
|
- I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
|
|
|
- TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
|
|
|
- with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
|
|
|
- re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify

- Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the

|
- CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
|
|
|
- that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
|
|
|
- libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
|
|
|
- of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read

- how it occurs (https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The

|
|
- conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
|
|
|
- the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
|

-- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP

- proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each

|
|

- I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
|
|
|
- properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't

- think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the

|
|
|
- Storsjö pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
|
|
|
- confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
|
|
|
- looked like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
|
|
|
- curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
|
|
|
- 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
|
|
|
- set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully

-Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009)
|
|
|
-- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
|
|
|
- option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
|
|
|
- data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
|
|
|
- newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
|
|
|
- curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
|
|
|
- still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
|
|
|
- data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
|
|
|
- cookie engine switched on.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
|
|
|
- put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
|
|
|
- created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4
|
|
|
- scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
|
|
|
- checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
|
|
|
- and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
|
|
|
- fix.

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places
|
|
|
- in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
|
|
|
- when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
|
|
|
- other values indicate error conditions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bill Egert pointed out (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that
|
|
|
- curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
|
|
|
- since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
|
|
|
- problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
|
|
|
- features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.

-Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
|
|
|
-- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
|
|
|
- whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
|
|
|
- returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
|
|
|
- rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
|
|
|
- 2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
|
|
|
- all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
|
|
|
- preferences as our current new connection.

|
-Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
|
|
|
-- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
|
|
|
- which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
|
|
|
- arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
|
|
|
- together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
|
|
|
- new behavior:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
|
|
|
- follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
|
|
|
- excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
|
|
|
- them in your app if you really want that behavior.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
|
|
|
- using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
|
|
|
- other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
|
|
|
- protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

|
-- Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009)
|
|
|
-- As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the
|
|
|
- curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
|
|
|
- thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
|
|
|
- just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
|
|
|
- but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
|
|
|
- elsewhere.

-Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009)
|
|
|
-- Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work.
|

|
|
|
-- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
|
|
|
- FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
|
|
|
- write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
|
|
|
- re-used properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
|
|
|
- now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
|
|
|
- necessary to get read in ftp_done().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009)
|
|
|
-- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out
|
|
|
- libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
|
|
|
- when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
|
|
|
- "TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
|
|
|
- libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
|
|
|
- data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
|
|
|
- data!

-Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009)
|
|
|
-- FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error

-- A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory
|
|
|
- leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to
|
|
|
- cleanup properly before returning error.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
|
|
|
- plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
|
|
|
- CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
|
|
|
- connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
|
|
|
- as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
|
|
|
- connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
|
|
|
- (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
|
|
|
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
|
|
|
- files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
|
|
|
- using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.

|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
|
|
|
- version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
|
|
|
- proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
|
|
|
- switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
|
|
|
- option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
|
|
|
- --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.

|
- named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c

- CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl

- 512 bytes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to

- disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned
|
|
|
- into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
|
|
|
- libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
|
|
|
- session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
|
|
|
- patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
|
|
|
- enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.

- 'duringconnect' parameter.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- With this small change, curl TFTP now behaves as expected (and likely as
|
|
|
- originally-designed):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1) For non-existent or unreachable dotted IP addresses:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- a) With no options, follows the default curl 300s timeout...
|
|
|
- b) With --connect-timeout only, follows that value...
|
|
|
- c) With --max-time only, follows that value...
|
|
|
- d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the smaller value...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- and times out with a "curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server" error.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2) For transfers to/from a valid host:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- a) With no options, follows default curl 300s timeout for the
|
|
|
- first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
|
|
|
- timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- b) With --connect-time only, follows that value for the
|
|
|
- first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
|
|
|
- timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- c) With --max-time only, follows that value for the first
|
|
|
- XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and for the remainder of the
|
|
|
- transfer...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the former
|
|
|
- for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the latter for the
|
|
|
- remainder of the transfer...
|
|
|
-
|
|

-- Based on bug report #2498665 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665)
|
|
|
- by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
|
|
|
- use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
|
|
|
- (using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
|
|

- the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.

|
|
-- Emil Romanus fixed:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
|
|
|
- header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
|
|
|
- state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
|
|
|
- ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
|
|
|
- bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
|
|
|
- break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
|
|
|
- to multistate().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
|
|
|
- the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
|
|
|
- depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
|
|
|
- writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.

-- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
|
|
|
- since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
|
|
|
- time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
|
|
|
- library if Curl did the initialization.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
|
|
|
- call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
|
|
|
- ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
|
|
|
- lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
|
|
|
- But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
|
|
|
- generally helpful.

-- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing
|
|
|
- was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
|
|
|
- than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
|
|
|
- running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
|
|
|
- curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
|
|
|
- alreay triggered.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl
|
|
|
- now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
|
|
|
- "regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
|
|
|
- result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
|

- speed loss.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2008)
|
|
|
-- SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE'
|
|
|
- operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
|
|
|
- libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
|
|
|
- performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
|
|
|
- SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
|
|
|
- blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
|
|
|
- a better fix.

-

- libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the

-- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when

|
- and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
|
|
|
- by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the

- current MODE and TYPE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been

- NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.

|
|
- libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
|
|

|
|
|
-- Daniel Johnson reported and fixed:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When c-ares isn't enabled, libcurl by default calls getaddrinfo with family
|
|
|
- set to PF_UNSPEC which causes getaddrinfo to return all available addresses,
|
|
|
- both IPv4 and IPv6. Libcurl then tries each one until it can connect. If the
|
|
|
- net connection doesn't support IPv6, libcurl can still fall back to IPv4.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- However, since c-ares doesn't support PF_UNSPEC, when it's used it defaults
|
|
|
- to using family=PF_INET6 and therefore only returns IPv6 addresses when AAAA
|
|
|
- records are available, even if IPv4 addresses are also available. The effect
|
|
|
- is that since my ISP doesn't do IPv6, libcurl can't connect at all to a site
|
|
|
- that has AAAA records. It will work if I explicitly use CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 or
|
|
|
- --ipv4 with the curl tool. I discovered this when curl would fail to connect
|
|
|
- to seemingly random sites. It turns out they weren't random, they were sites
|
|
|
- with AAAA records.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- So now libcurl defaults to PF_INET... until c-ares has been tought to offer
|
|
|
- both.

-- Pascal Terjan filed bug #2154627
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
|
|
|
- uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
|
|
|
- Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
|
|
|
- strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
|
|
|
- just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
|
|
|
- function in libcurl (called Curl_raw_equal) for doing case insentive
|
|

|
|
|
-- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-config
|
|
|
- file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in
|
|
|
- how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those
|
|
|
- tools should now always be synced.

|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (29 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added tests 1071 through 1074 to test automatic downgrading from HTTP 1.1
|
|
|
- to HTTP 1.0 upon receiving a response from the HTTP server. Tests 1072
|
|
|
- and 1073 are similar to test 1069 in that they involve the impossible
|
|
|
- scenario of sending chunked data to a HTTP 1.0 server. All these fail
|
|
|
- and are added to DISABLED.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test 1075 to test --anyauth with Basic authentication.
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- When libcurl was doing a HTTP POST and the server would respond with
|
|
|
- "Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
|
|
|
- response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
|
|
|
- would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
|
|
|
- sad faces. https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
|
|
|
- getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
|
|
|
- "http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:

|
|
|
-- Dengminwen reported that libcurl would lock a (cookie) share twice (without
|
|
|
- an unlock in between) for a certain case and that in fact works when using
|
|
|
- regular windows mutexes but not with pthreads'! Locks should of course not
|
|
|
- get locked again so this is now fixed.
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0422.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I'm abandoning the system with the web site mirrors (but keeping download
|
|
|
- files bing mirrored) and thus I've changed the URL in the cookiejar header
|
|
|
- to no longer use curlm.haxx.se but instead use the main site curl.haxx.se
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (27 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed test case 1065 by changing the handling of CURLOPT_UPLOAD to set
|
|
|
- the HTTP method to GET (or HEAD) when given a value of 0.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 1068 and 1069 to test a simple HTTP PUT from stdin. Test
|
|
|
- case 1069 fails in a similar manner to test 1065 so is added to DISABLED.
|

|
-Yang Tse (27 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fix generation of MS VC6 .dsp file to make it support compilation of either
|
|
|
- dynamic (DLL) or static (LIB) libcurl libraries in debug and release modes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (26 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed out of memory problems that caused torture test failures in tests

- 1021 and 1067.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (26 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added check and symbol definition for WIN32 file API usage in configure,
|
|
|
- supporting configure's --disable-largefile option for WIN32 targets also.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Non-configure systems which do not use config-win32.h configuration file,
|
|
|
- and want to use the WIN32 file API, must define USE_WIN32_LARGE_FILES or
|
|
|
- USE_WIN32_SMALL_FILES as appropriate in their own configuration files.

|
-- Running 'make ca-firefox' in the root build dir will now run the new
|
|
|
- firefox-db2pem.sh conversion script that converts a local Firefox db of ca
|
|
|
- certs into PEM format, suitable for use with a OpenSSL or GnuTLS built
|
|
|
- libcurl.

-- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a bug when doing proxy CONNECT with the multi
|
|
|
- interface, and the proxy would send Connection: close during the

-Daniel Fandrich (22 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a problem when --dump-header - was given with more than one URL,
|
|
|
- which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout
|
|
|
- being closed. Added test case 1066 to verify. Also fixed a potential
|
|
|
- problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload
|
|
|
- when more than one URL is given.
|

|
|
|
-Yang Tse (22 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Improved libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions integral data type
|
|
|
- size and signedness handling.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Internal adjustments to better select/differentiate when large/small file
|
|
|
- support is provided using WIN32 functions directly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (20 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quote
|
|
|
- commands to the man pages.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (20 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Phil Pellouchoud pointed out that the windows version of libcurl had a
|
|
|
- memory leak because it never called the OpenSSL function
|
|
|
- CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() as it was supposed to. This was because of a
|
|
|
- missing define in config-win32.h!
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Gisle Vanem (18 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Updated lib/Makefile.Watcom with the option to use c-ares (USE_ARES=1).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (18 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 557 to verify libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions
|
|
|
- formatting functionality when handling signed and unsigned longs, as well as
|
|
|
- our curl_off_t data type.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Yang Tse (17 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- OpenSSl enabled NetWare builds are changed to use the 'openssl' subdirectory
|
|
|
- when including the OpenSSL header files. This is the recommended setting, this
|
|
|
- prevents the undesired inclusion of header files with the same name as those
|
|
|
- of OpenSSL but which do not belong to the OpenSSL package. The visible change
|
|
|
- from previously released libcurl versions is that now OpenSSl enabled NetWare
|
|
|
- builds also define USE_OPENSSL in config files, and that OpenSSL header files
|
|
|
- must be located in a subdirectory named 'openssl'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (16 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Library internal only C preprocessor macros FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU
|
|
|
- remain in use as internal curl_off_t print formatting strings for the internal
|
|
|
- *printf functions which still cannot handle print formatting string directives
|
|
|
- such as "I64d", "I64u", and others available on MSVC, MinGW, Intel's ICC, and
|
|
|
- other DOS/Windows compilers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (15 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 1063 to test invalid long file ranges with file: URLs and
|
|
|
- 1064 to test multiple http PUTs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test case 1065 to test a PUT with a single file but two URLs. This
|
|
|
- was discovered to be problematic while investigating an incident reported by
|
|
|
- Von back in May. curl in this case doesn't include a Content-Length: or
|
|
|
- Transfer-Encoding: chunked header which is illegal. This test case is
|
|
|
- added to DISABLED until a solution is found.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (15 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- C preprocessor macros used internally and equally available externally which
|
|
|
- aid in the use of the curl_off_t data type are named: CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T,
|
|
|
- CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T,
|
|
|
- CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (13 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- The size of long is a build time characteristic and as such it is now recorded
|
|
|
- in curlbuild.h as CURL_SIZEOF_LONG. Definition now done from configure process
|
|
|
- and in CVS curlbuild.h.dist for non-configure systems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (12 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a buffer overflow problem in Curl_proxyCONNECT that could occur
|
|
|
- when a server responded with long headers and data. Luckily, the buffer
|
|
|
- overflowed into another unused buffer, so no actual harm was done.
|
|
|
- Added test cases 1060 and 1061 to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Andy Tsouladze fixed runtests.pl to not attempt to execute the stunnel
|
|
|
- _directory_ if that happened to appear in the path!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (12 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added macros for minimum-width signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer
|
|
|
- constants CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C. The clever double helper macro
|
|
|
- used internally to provide its functionality is thanks to Lars Nilsson.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (11 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a boundary condition error in ftp_readresp() whereby a non-terminal
|
|
|
- line of a multiline FTP response whose last byte landed exactly at the end
|
|
|
- of the BUFSIZE-length buffer would be treated as the terminal response
|
|
|
- line. The following response code read in would then actually be the
|
|
|
- end of the previous response line, and all responses from then on would
|
|
|
- correspond to the wrong command. Test case 1062 verifies this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stop closing a never-opened ftp socket.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042430
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows
|
|
|
- SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static
|
|
|
- variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading
|
|
|
- has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042440
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042440) with a patch. He identified a
|
|
|
- problem when using NTLM over a proxy but the end-point does Basic, and then
|
|
|
- libcurl would do wrong when the host sent "Connection: close" as the proxy's
|
|
|
- NTLM state was erroneously cleared.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (11 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added missing signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer constant suffixes for
|
|
|
- internal and external use. CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (7 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed an uninitialized variable in multi_runsingle() that could cause a
|
|
|
- request to prematurely end.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test1059 to test the FTP proxy tunnel problem fixed July 11.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (7 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added curlbuild.h and curlrules.h header files to libcurl's public headers.
|
|
|
- File curlbuild.h is a generated file on configure-capable systems. This is
|
|
|
- a first step towards configure-based info in public headers. Currently only
|
|
|
- used to provide support for a curl_off_t data type which is not gated to
|
|
|
- off_t. Further details are documented inside these mentioned header files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol
|
|
|
- results in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an
|
|
|
- expansion which consists of a single double-quoted string as the result of
|
|
|
- concatenating all of them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Skip data type check in DO_CURL_OFF_T_CHECK macro when argument is empty.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted testcurl.pl to copy checked out curlbuild.h.dist as curlbuild.h
|
|
|
- for non-configure targets when the host system doesn't run buildconf.bat.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Prevent buildconf from removing 'Makefile' and 'missing' files. This would
|
|
|
- blow away our CVS checked files 'missing' and 'hiper/Makefile'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Remove adjustment done to testcurl.pl to verify if change introduced by
|
|
|
- Guenter Knauf in lib/Makefile.netware is enough to get the netware autobuilds
|
|
|
- going again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (5 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Changes done to buildconf script. Validate that autom4te and autoconf, as
|
|
|
- well as aclocal and automake, versions match. Improve removal of previous
|
|
|
- run generated files. Remove verbose debug logging of aclocal on Solaris.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (5 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Yehoshua Hershberg found a problem that would make libcurl re-use a
|
|
|
- connection with the multi interface even if a previous use of it caused a
|
|
|
- CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION to get returned. I now make sure that failed
|
|
|
- SSL connections properly close the connections.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Test cases 1051, 1052 and 1055 were added by Daniel Fandrich on July 30 and
|
|
|
- proved how PUT and POST with a redirect could lead to a "hang" due to the
|
|
|
- data stream not being rewound properly when it had to in order to get sent
|
|
|
- properly (again) to the subsequent URL. This is now fixed and these test
|
|
|
- cases are no longer disabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (4 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
|
|
|
- Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. 2.62
|
|
|
- version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE and other four preprocessor symbols
|
|
|
- no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the traditional behaviour,
|
|
|
- and an uniform one across autoconf versions AC_AIX is replaced with our
|
|
|
- own internal macro CURL_CHECK_AIX_ALL_SOURCE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Test case 1041 (added by Daniel Fandrich July 14th) proved a bug where PUT
|
|
|
- with -C - sent garbage in the Content-Range: header. I fixed this problem by
|
|
|
- making sure libcurl always sets the size of the _entire_ upload if an app
|
|
|
- attemps to do resumed uploads since libcurl simply cannot know the size of
|
|
|
- what is currently at the server end. Test 1041 is no longer disabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (2 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- No longer test availability of the gdi32 library, nor use it for linking, even
|
|
|
- when we have been doing this since revision 1.47 of configure.ac 4 years and
|
|
|
- 5 months ago when cross-compiling a Windows target. We actually don't use any
|
|
|
- function from the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) related with drawing
|
|
|
- or graphics-related operations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (1 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn't
|
|
|
- support this so it goes untested.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (1 Aug 2008)
|
|
|
-- Configure process now checks if the preprocessor _REENTRANT symbol is already
|
|
|
- defined. If it isn't currently defined a set of checks are performed to test
|
|
|
- if its definition is required to make visible to the compiler a set of *_r
|
|
|
- functions. Finally, if _REENTRANT is already defined or needed it takes care
|
|
|
- of making adjustments necessary to ensure that it is defined equally for the
|
|
|
- configure process tests and generated config file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed definition of CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER from acinclude.m4 it has
|
|
|
- not been in use since revision 1.81 of configure.in 6 years, 9 months ago.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (31 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed parsing of an IPv6 proxy address to support a scope identifier,
|
|
|
- as well as IPv4 addresses in IPv6 format. Also, better handle the case
|
|
|
- of a malformatted IPv6 address (avoid empty and NULL strings).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a problem with any FTP URL or any URLs containing an IPv6 address
|
|
|
- being mangled when passed to proxies when CURLOPT_PORT is also set
|
|
|
- (reported by Pramod Sharma).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsed
|
|
|
- incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
|
|
|
- port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279
|
|
|
- (was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (30 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted
|
|
|
- the URL parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the
|
|
|
- scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be
|
|
|
- URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
|
|
|
- "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a
|
|
|
- true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or
|
|
|
- less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that
|
|
|
- would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost
|
|
|
- all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start
|
|
|
- of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variable
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (30 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 1052 through 1055 to test uploading data from files
|
|
|
- during redirects. Test cases 1052 and 1055 show problems (maybe the same
|
|
|
- root cause as 1051) and are disabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a couple of buffer overflows in the MS-DOS port of the curl tool.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (29 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed --use-ascii to properly convert text files on Symbian OS, MS-DOS
|
|
|
- and OS/2.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test case 1051 to test Location: following with PUT, as reported
|
|
|
- by Ben Sutcliffe. The test when run manually shows a problem in curl
|
|
|
- so it's disabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (28 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Fixed display of the interface bind address in the trace output when it's
|
|
|
- an IPv6 address.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 1045 through 1049 as simple tests of --interface using the
|
|
|
- localhost interface.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test case 1050 to test --ftp-port with an IPv6 address
|
|
|
-
|
|

-Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- David Bau filed bug report #2026240 "CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE leads to buffer

- problems, and providing the fix for them:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is
|
|
|
- designed for but paused _receiving_ of data!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return
|
|
|
- code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to
|
|
|
- the server.

|
|
-- Added test 1044 to test large file support in ftp with -I.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Eliminate a unnecessary socket creation in Curl_getaddrinfo for an IPv4
|
|
|
- address in an IPv6 capable libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added feature in runtests.pl to select tests based on key word.
|
|
|

|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (23 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Changed the long logfile elision code in runtests.pl to properly handle
|
|
|
- lines ending in \r.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Changed references to TRUE and FALSE in the curl_easy_setopt man page to
|
|
|
- 1 and zero, respectively, since TRUE and FALSE aren't part of the
|
|
|
- libcurl API.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- I went over the curl_easy_setopt man page and replaced most references to
|
|
|
- non-zero with the fixed value of 1. We should strive at making options
|
|
|
- support '1' for enabling them mentioned explicitly, as that then will allow
|
|
|
- us for to extend them in the future without breaking older programs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Possibly we should even introduce a fancy define to use instead of '1' all
|
|
|
- over...

-- Use the sreadfrom() wrapper to replace recvfrom() in our code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (20 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- when recvfrom prototype uses a void pointer for arguments 2, 5 or 6 this will
|
|
|
- now cause the definition, as appropriate, of RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2_IS_VOID,
|
|
|
- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5_IS_VOID or RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6_IS_VOID.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (17 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
|
|
|
- to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (16 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Configure process now checks availability of recvfrom() socket function and
|
|
|
- finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
|
|
|
- for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
|
|
|
- will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (15 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added description/comment to include paths used in several Makefile.am files.
|
|
|
- Added automake option nostdinc to test servers makefile and modified libcurl
|
|
|
- external headers include path for libtest programs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (14 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Added test1040 through test1043 to test -C - on HTTP. Test 1041 failed so
|
|
|
- it's added to DISABLED.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (14 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- HTTP_ONLY definition check in lib/setup.h is now done once that configuration
|
|
|
- file has been included. In this way if symbol is defined in the config file
|
|
|
- it will no longer be ignored. Removed inclusion of remaining system header
|
|
|
- files from configuration files. Moved _REENTRANT definition up/earlier in
|
|
|
- lib/setup.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (11 Jul 2008)
|

|
|
- file content_encoding.h

-Daniel Stenberg (11 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Daniel Fandrich found out we didn't pass on the user-agent properly when
|
|
|
- doing "proxy-tunnels" with non-HTTP prototols and that was simply because
|
|
|
- the code assumed the user-agent was only needed for HTTP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (10 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Changed slightly the SFTP quote commands chmod, chown and chgrp to only
|
|
|
- set the attribute that has changed instead of all possible ones. Hopefully,
|
|
|
- this will solve the "Permission denied" problem that Nagarajan Sreenivasan
|
|
|
- reported when setting some modes, but regardless, it saves a protocol
|
|
|
- round trip in the chmod case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 1038 and 1039 to test Adrian Kreher's report that ftp
|
|
|
- uploads with -C - didn't resume properly, but the tests pass.
|
|
|
-

-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Andreas Schuldei improved Phil Blundell's patch for IPv6 using c-ares, and I
|
|
|
- edited it slightly. Now you should be able to use IPv6 addresses fine even
|
|
|
- with libcurl built to use c-ares.

|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (7 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Scott Barrett provided a test case for a segfault in the FTP code and the
|
|
|
- fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using
|
|
|
- CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but
|
|
|
- switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being
|
|
|
- cleared properly. Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it
|
|
|
- verifies the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (3 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xx
|
|
|
- response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added
|
|
|
- test case 1033 to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
|
|
|
- handshake/connection is completed. Which typically is SSL, TLS or SSH and by
|
|
|
- using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You
|
|
|
- can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
|
|
|
- 'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (2 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- Support Open Watcom C on Linux (as well as Windows).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (2 Jul 2008)
|
|
|
-- The previously committed fix for bug report #1999181 prevented using the
|
|
|
- monotonic clock on any system without an always supported POSIX compliant
|
|
|
- implementation. Now the POSIX compliant configuration check is removed and
|
|
|
- will fallback to gettimeofday when the monotonic clock is unavailable at
|
|
|
- run-time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The configure process will now halt when sed, grep, egrep or ar programs
|
|
|
- can not be found among the directories in PATH variable.
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (30 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Made the internal printf() support %llu properly to print unsigned long longs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range code
|
|
|
- which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use
|
|
|
- unsigned.
|
|
|

-Yang Tse (29 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on
|
|
|
- some systems" (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
|
|
|
- that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
|
|
|
- macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
|
|
|
- monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
|
|
|
- with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.

|
-- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567
|
|
|
- (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that
|
|
|
- libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with
|
|
|
- --head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to
|
|
|
- verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel Fandrich (21 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Stopped using ranges in scanf character sequences (e.g. %[a-z]) since that
|
|
|
- is not ANSI C, just a common extension. This caused problems on
|
|
|
- at least Open Watcom C.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Yang Tse (20 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
|
|
|
- enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
|
|
|
- configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
|
|
|
- if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.
|

|
|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (20 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to
|
|
|
- handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
|
|
|
- recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
|
|
|
- plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
|
|
|
- that it made things work for him again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy
|
|
|
- crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
|
|
|
- internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
|
|
|
- function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or
|
|
|
- SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh-
|
|
|
- related #ifdefs in the code for readability.

|
|
-Daniel Stenberg (19 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previously caused
|
|
|
- libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
|
|
|
- resolve done by c-ares is completed) and then immediately re-created and put
|
|
|
- to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
|
|
|
- "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
|
|
|
- tell the app about this close/re-create case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the
|
|
|
- multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for,
|
|
|
- detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already
|
|
|
- in use!

-Daniel Stenberg (18 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer

-Daniel Stenberg (11 Jun 2008)
|
|
|
-- I did a cleanup of the internal generic SSL layer and how the various SSL
|
|
|
- libraries are supported. Starting now, each underlying SSL library support
|
|
|
- code does a set of defines for the 16 functions the generic layer (sslgen.c)
|
|
|
- uses (all these new function defines use the prefix "curlssl_"). This
|
|
|
- greatly simplified the generic layer in readability by involving much less
|
|
|
- #ifdefs and other preprocessor stuff and should make it easier for people to
|
|
|
- make libcurl work with new SSL libraries.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Hopefully I can later on document these 16 functions somewhat as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also made most of the internal SSL-dependent functions (using Curl_ssl_
|
|
|
- prefix) #defined to nothing when no SSL support is requested - previously
|
|
|
- they would unnecessarily call mostly empty functions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've built libcurl with OpenSSL and GnuTLS and without SSL to test this and
|
|
|
- I've also tried building with NSS but the NSS support is a mystery to me and
|
|
|
- I failed to build libcurl with the NSS libraries I have installed. We really
|
|
|
- should A) improve our configure script to detect unsuitable NSS versions
|
|
|
- already at configure time and B) document our requirements better for the
|
|
|
- SSL libraries.

-- I made the OpenSSL code build again with OpenSSL 0.9.6. The CRLFILE

-- Due to the three new libcurl changes and the massive command line option
|
|
|
- change I decided we'll mark it by bumping the next release number to 7.19.0!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!
|
|
|
- All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
|
|
|
- now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
|
|
|
- times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
|
|
|
- to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
|
|
|
- verbose mode you use --no-verbose!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
|
|
|
- given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
|
|
|
- for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
|
|
|
- or --no-remote-name.

|
|
- o with pipelining disabled, the state should never be set to WAITDO but
|

|
- rather go straight to DO
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket

- (when curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be

- added again within very shortly)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o when in DO and DOING states, the HTTP and HTTPS protocol handler functions
|
|

-- Jerome Muffat-Meridol helped me fix Curl_done() to close the current

|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl

- proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then
|
|
|
- closes the connection after that initial informational response.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and
|
|
|
- continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will

- now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked
|

-- Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow

- libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
|
|
|
- doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
|
|
|
- remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
|
|
|
- and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
|
|
|
- begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,

-- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead
|

- made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
|
|
|
- definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
|
|
|
- could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
|
|
|
- think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
|
|
|
- course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
|
|
|
- headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
|
|
|
- definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of

|
|
-- Renamed all internal static functions that had Curl_ prefixes to no longer
|
|
|
- have them. The Curl_ prefix is exclusively used for library internal global
|
|
|
- symbols. Static functions can be named anything, except for using Curl_ or
|
|
|
- curl_ prefixes. This is for consistency and for easier maintainance and
|
|
|
- overview.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Cleaned up and reformatted the TODO document to look like the FAQ and
|
|
|
- CONTRIBUTE, which makes nicer web pages
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 549 and 550 that test CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added keywords on a bunch of test cases
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed an OOM problem in the curl code that would lead to fclose on a bad
|
|
|
- handle and crash
|

-Daniel S (5 Dec 2007)
|
|
|
-- Spacen Jasset reported a problem with doing POST (with data read with a
|
|
|
- callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug
|
|
|
- also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked
|
|
|
- with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to
|
|
|
- verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.
|

-Daniel S (3 Dec 2007)
|
|
|
-- Ray Pekowski filed bug report #1842029
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1842029) in which he identified a
|
|
|
- problem with SSL session caching that prevent it from working, and provided
|
|
|
- the associated fix!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Now libcurl (built with OpenSSL) doesn't return error anymore if the remote
|
|
|
- SSL-based server doesn't present a certificate when the request is told to
|
|
|
- ignore certificate verification anyway.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to control
|
|
|
- the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
|
|
|
- HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
|
|
|
- unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
|
|
|
- better with the appending done!
|

-Daniel S (29 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- A bug report on the curl-library list showed a HTTP Digest session going on
|
|
|
- with a 700+ letter nonce. Previously libcurl only support 127 letter ones
|
|
|
- and now I bumped it to 1023.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the resumed FTP upload loop to not require that the read callback
|
|
|
- returns a full buffer on each invoke.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel S (25 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 1015 that tests --data-urlencode in multiple ways
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed --data-urlencode for when no @ or = are used
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Extended the user-agent buffer curl uses, since we can hit the 128 byte
|
|
|
- border with plenty development libraries used. Like my current set: "curl
|
|
|
- 7.17.2-CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.17.2-CVS OpenSSL/0.9.8g
|
|

|
-Daniel S (24 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Internal rearrangements, so that the previous struct HandleData is no more.
|
|
|
- It is now known as SingleRequest and the Curl_transfer_keeper struct within
|
|
|
- that was remove entirely. This has the upside that there are less duplicate
|
|
|
- struct members that made it hard to see and remember what struct that was
|
|
|
- used to store what data. The transfer_keeper thing was once stored on a
|
|
|
- per-connection basis and then it made sense to have the duplicate info but
|
|
|
- since it was moved to the SessionHandle (in 7.16.0) it just added weirdness.
|
|
|
- The SingleRequest struct is used by data that only is valid for this single
|
|
|
- request.

|
|
-- Alessandro Vesely helped me improve the --data-urlencode's syntax, parser
|
|
|
- and documentation.

|
|
|
-Daniel S (21 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- While inspecting the Negotiate code, I noticed how the proxy auth was using
|
|
|
- the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the
|
|
|
- same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate
|
|
|
- structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy
|
|
|
- simultaneously.

-Daniel S (20 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Emil Romanus pointed out a bug that made an easy handle get the cookie
|
|
|
- engine activated when set to use a share (even if the share doesn't share
|
|
|
- cookies). I fixed it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a very long-lasting mprintf() bug that occurred when we did "%.*s%s",
|
|
|
- since the second %s would then wrongly used the numerical precision argument
|
|
|
- instead and crash.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Introduced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the
|
|
|
- data sent in a post.

-- Michal Marek made the test suite remember what test servers that fail to
|
|
|
- start so that subsequent tries are simply skipped.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andres Garcia made the examples build fine on Windows (mingw + msys) when

-Daniel S (16 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Ates Goral identified a problem in http.c:add_buffer_send() when a debug
|
|
|
- callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing
|
|
|
- HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped
|
|
|
- size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent
|
|
|
- in one single send. https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html

|
|
|
-- Bug report #1830637 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which was
|
|
|
- forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally
|
|
|
- submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory
|
|
|
- references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was
|
|
|
- setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I
|
|
|
- make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct
|
|
|
- member.

-Daniel S (8 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Bug report #1823487 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointed
|
|
|
- out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP
|
|
|
- ones. I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should
|
|
|
- use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch of indent changes as
|
|
|
- well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.

-Dan F (6 Nov 2007)

|
|
-- Improved telnet support by drastically reducing the number of write
|
|
|
- callbacks needed to pass a buffer to the user. Instead one per byte it

|
|
|
-- Bug report #1824894 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1824894) pointed
|
|
|
- out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the
|
|
|
- inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C"
|
|
|
- linkage block.

-Daniel S (1 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Toby Peterson patched a memory problem in the command line tool that
|
|
|
- happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do
|
|
|
- free() on a wrong area.
|

|
|
|
-Dan F (1 Nov 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't used
|
|
|
- due to a missing header file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Dan F (31 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the output of curl-config --protocols which showed SCP and SFTP
|
|
|
- always, except when --without-libssh2 was given
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 1013 and 1014 to check that curl-config --protocols and
|
|
|
- curl-config --features matches the output of curl --version
|
|
|
-
|
|

|
|
|
-- Based on one of those bug reports that are intercepted by a distro's bug
|
|
|
- tracker (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316191), I now made
|
|
|
- curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built
|
|
|
- with NSS.
|

-- Added the --static-libs option to curl-config
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel S (25 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Made libcurl built with NSS possible to ignore the peer verification.
|
|
|
- Previously it would fail if the ca bundle wasn't present, even if the code
|
|
|
- ignored the verification results.
|

-
|
|
|
-Patrick M (25 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed test server to allow null bytes in binary posts.
|
|
|
-_ Added tests 35, 544 & 545 to check binary data posts, both static (in place)

|
|
- and dynamic (copied).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel S (25 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Michal Marek fixed the test script to be able to use valgrind even when the
|
|
|
- lib is built shared with libtool.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a few memory leaks when the same easy handle is re-used to request
|
|
|
- URLs with different protocols. FTP and TFTP related leaks. Caught thanks to
|
|
|
- Dan F's new test cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Dan F (24 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the test FTP and TFTP servers to support the >10000 test number
|
|
|
- notation
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test cases 2000 through 2003 which test multiple protocols using the

- same easy handle
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the filecheck: make target to work outside the source tree

-Daniel S (24 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Vladimir Lazarenko pointed out that we should do some 'mt' magic when
|
|
|
- building with VC8 to get the "manifest" embedded to make fine stand-alone

-- Bug report #1812190 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1812190) points out
|
|
|
- that libcurl tried to re-use connections a bit too much when using non-SSL
|
|
|
- protocols tunneled over a HTTP proxy.

|
-
|

-- Michal Marek forwarded the bug report
|
|
|
- https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
|
|
|
- FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
|
|
|
- fixes:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- #1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
|
|
|
- at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
|
|
|
- used by another connection.
|
|
|
- Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- #2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
|
|
|
- data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
|
|
|
- SessionHandle was used by a different connection).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- A long-term goal is of course to somehow get rid of how the reqdata struct
|
|
|
- is used, as it is too error-prone.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #1815530 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1815530) points out
|
|
|
- that specifying a proxy with a trailing slash didn't work (unless it also
|
|
|
- contained a port number).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Patrick M (15 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the dynamic CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS problem: this option is now static again
|
|
|
- and option CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS has been added to support dynamic mode.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Patrick M (12 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Added per-protocol callback static tables, replacing callback ptr storage
|
|
|
- in the connectdata structure by a single handler table ptr.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Dan F (11 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the -l option of runtests.pl
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added support for skipping tests based on key words.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel S (9 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Michal Marek removed the no longer existing return codes from the curl.1
|
|
|
- man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel S (7 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Known bug #47, which confused libcurl if doing NTLM auth over a proxy with
|
|
|
- a response that was larger than 16KB is now improved slightly so that now
|
|
|
- the restriction at 16KB is for the headers only and it should be a rare
|
|
|
- situation where the response-headers exceed 16KB. Thus, I consider #47 fixed
|
|
|
- and the header limitation is now known as known bug #48.

|
|
-Daniel S (5 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- Michael Wallner made the CULROPT_COOKIELIST option support a new magic
|
|
|
- string: "FLUSH". Using that will cause libcurl to flush its cookies to the
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The new file docs/libcurl/ABI describes how we view ABI breakages, soname

-Daniel S (4 October 2007)
|
|
|
-- I enabled test 1009 and made the --local-port use a wide range to reduce the
|
|
|
- risk of failures.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kim Rinnewitz reported that --local-port didn't work with TFTP transfers.
|
|
|
- This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
|
|
|
- without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
|
|
|
- test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
|
|
|
- have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
|
|
|
- many different hosts in different situations I'll add it in disabled state.

|
|
- CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to

|
-
|
|
|
-- I renamed the CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE error code to

|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offers
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both
|
|
|
- make the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the

-Daniel S (26 September 2007)
|
|
|
-- Philip Langdale provided the new CURLOPT_POST301 option for
|
|
|
- curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
|
|
|
- redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
|
|
|
- after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
|
|
|
- method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
|
|
|
- - because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
|
|
|
- option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
|
|
|
- the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The curl tool got this option as --post301

|
-- Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
|
|
|
- then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
|
|
|
- those exist.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
|
|
|
- loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
|
|
|
- certificates already in the NSS database are used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
|
|
|
- thing is done
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
|
|
|
- including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
|
|
|
- verbose mode
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
|
|
|
- 8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
|
|
|
- with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
|
|
|
- keys.

|
|
|
- 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.

|
|
|
-- 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

|
-Daniel S (11 August 2007)

-- 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

- 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
|

|
|
|
- (https://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.

|
-- 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

-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.

- 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

-- 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)

|
|
-- 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)

|
- Fandrich mentioned a related build problem on the libcurl mailing list:
|
|
|
- https://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

|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1733119) and we collaborated on the

|
|
- bit) ones.

-- 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.
|
|
|
-

- not very nice if the client wants to be able to use _either_ a HTTP 1.1
|

-- 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

|
|
-- 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.

-
|
|
|
- New Internal wrapper function Curl_select() around select (2), it

-- Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()

- 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
|
|

|
-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.

-- Reintroduced (after a 3 year hiatus) an FTPS test case (400) into the test

-- 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
|
|

|
- curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:

|
|
|
- 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.

-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

|
|
- 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.

|
|
|
-- 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)

|
|
|
-- 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. & => & ). 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
|
|
|
- (https://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
|
|
|
- (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405226).

|
|
|
-- Make curl_easy_duphandle() set the magic number in the new handle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Robert Foreman provided a prime example snippet showing how libcurl would
|
|
|
- get confused and not acknowledge the 'no_proxy' variable properly once it
|
|
|
- had used the proxy and you re-used the same easy handle. I made sure the
|
|
|
- proxy name is properly stored in the connect struct rather than the
|
|
|
- sessionhandle/easy struct.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy fixed a bad call to getsockname() that wrongly used a size_t
|
|
|
- variable to point to when it should be a socklen_t.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When setting a proxy with environment variables and (for example) running
|
|
|
- 'curl [URL]' with a URL without a protocol prefix, curl would not send a
|
|
|
- correct request as it failed to add the protocol prefix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Robson Braga Araujo reported bug #1618359
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1618359) and subsequently provided a
|
|
|
- patch for it: when downloading 2 zero byte files in a row, curl 7.16.0
|
|
|
- enters an infinite loop, while curl 7.16.1-20061218 does one additional
|
|
|
- unnecessary request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Fix: During the "Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and
|
|
|
- shared connection cache within the multi handle." change, headerbytecount
|
|
|
- was moved to live in the Curl_transfer_keeper structure. But that structure
|
|
|
- is reset in the Transfer method, losing the information that we had about
|
|
|
- the header size. This patch moves it back to the connectdata struct.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Brendan Jurd provided a fix that now prevents libcurl from getting a SIGPIPE
|
|
|
- during certain conditions when GnuTLS is used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Alexey Simak found out that when doing FTP with the multi interface and
|
|
|
- something went wrong like it got a bad response code back from the server,
|
|
|
- libcurl would leak memory. Added test case 538 to verify the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also noted that the connection would get cached in that case, which
|
|
|
- doesn't make sense since it cannot be re-use when the authentication has
|
|
|
- failed. I fixed that issue too at the same time, and also that the path
|
|
|
- would be "remembered" in vain for cases where the connection was about to
|
|
|
- get closed.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (6 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Sebastien Willemijns reported bug #1603712
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) which is about connections
|
|
|
- getting cut off prematurely when --limit-rate is used. While I found no such
|
|
|
- problems in my tests nor in my reading of the code, I found that the
|
|
|
- --limit-rate code was severly flawed (since it was moved into the lib, since
|
|
|
- 7.15.5) when used with the easy interface and it didn't work as documented
|
|
|
- so I reworked it somewhat and now it works for my tests.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 December 2006)
|
|
|
-- Stefan Krause pointed out a compiler warning with a picky MSCV compiler when
|
|
|
- passing a curl_off_t argument to the Curl_read_rewind() function which takes
|
|
|
- an size_t argument. Curl_read_rewind() also had debug code left in it and it
|
|
|
- was put in a different source file with no good reason when only used from
|
|
|
- one single spot.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Sh Diao reported that CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY doesn't work, and indeed, there is
|
|
|
- no code present in the library that receives the option. Since it was not
|
|
|
- possible to use, we know that no current users exist and thus we simply
|
|
|
- removed it from the docs and made the code always use the default path of
|
|
|
- the code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jared Lundell filed bug report #1604956
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1604956) which identified setting
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to zero caused libcurl to SIGSEGV. Starting now, libcurl
|
|
|
- will always internally use no less than 1 entry in the connection cache.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Sh Diao reported that CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE no works, and indeed it broke in
|
|
|
- the 7.16.0 release.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Martin Skinner brought back bug report #1230118 to haunt us once again.
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1230118) curl_getdate() did not work
|
|
|
- properly for all input dates on Windows. It was mostly seen on some TZ time
|
|
|
- zones using DST. Luckily, Martin also provided a fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexey Simak filed bug report #1600447
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1600447) in which he noted that active
|
|
|
- FTP connections don't work with the multi interface. The problem is here
|
|
|
- that the multi interface state machine has a state during which it can wait
|
|
|
- for the data connection to connect, but the active connection is not done in
|
|
|
- the same step in the sequence as the passive one is so it doesn't quite work
|
|
|
- for active. The active FTP code still use a blocking function to allow the
|
|
|
- remote server to connect.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The fix (work-around is a better word) for this problem is to set the
|
|
|
- boolean prematurely that the data connection is completed, so that the "wait
|
|
|
- for connect" phase ends at once.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The proper fix, left for the future, is of course to make the active FTP
|
|
|
- case to act in a non-blocking way too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Matt Witherspoon fixed a problem case when the CPU load went to 100% when a
|
|
|
- HTTP upload was disconnected:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- "What appears to be happening is that my system (Linux 2.6.17 and 2.6.13) is
|
|
|
- setting *only* POLLHUP on poll() when the conditions in my previous mail
|
|
|
- occur. As you can see, select.c:Curl_select() does not check for POLLHUP. So
|
|
|
- basically what was happening, is poll() was returning immediately (with
|
|
|
- POLLHUP set), but when Curl_select() looked at the bits, neither POLLERR or
|
|
|
- POLLOUT was set. This still caused Curl_readwrite() to be called, which
|
|
|
- quickly returned. Then the transfer() loop kept continuing at full speed
|
|
|
- forever."

|
|
|
-- Toon Verwaest reported that there are servers that send the Content-Range:
|
|
|
- header in a third, not suppported by libcurl, format and we agreed that we
|
|
|
- could make the parser more forgiving to accept all the three found
|
|
|
- variations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simply
|
|
|
- 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.
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (24 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- James Housley did lots of work and introduced SFTP downloads.

|
|
|
-Daniel (13 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Ron in bug #1595348 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1595348) pointed
|
|
|
- out a stack overwrite (and the corresponding fix) on 64bit Windows when
|
|
|
- dealing with HTTP chunked encoding.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Nir Soffer updated libcurl.framework.make:
|
|
|
- o fix symlinks, should link to Versions, not to ./Versions
|
|
|
- o indentation improvments
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dmitriy Sergeyev found a SIGSEGV with his test04.c example posted on 7 Nov
|
|
|
- 2006. It turned out we wrongly assumed that the connection cache was present
|
|
|
- when tearing down a connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ciprian Badescu found a SIGSEGV when doing multiple TFTP transfers using the
|
|
|
- multi interface, but I could also repeat it doing multiple sequential ones
|
|
|
- with the easy interface. Using Ciprian's test case, I could fix it.

|
|
|
-Daniel (8 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Bradford Bruce reported that when setting CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION without
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_VERBOSE set to non-zero, you still got a few debug messages from the
|
|
|
- SSL handshake. This is now stopped.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Olaf fixed a leftover problem with the CONNECT fix of his that would leave a
|
|
|
- wrong error message in the error message buffer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- Olaf Stueben provided a patch that I edited slightly. It fixes the notorious
|
|
|
- KNOWN_BUGS #25, which happens when a proxy closes the connection when
|
|
|
- libcurl has sent CONNECT, as part of an authentication negotiation. Starting
|
|
|
- now, libcurl will re-connect accordingly and continue the authentication as
|
|
|
- it should.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 November 2006)
|
|
|
-- James Housley brought support for SCP transfers, based on the libssh2 library
|
|
|
- for the actual network protocol stuff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added these new curl_easy_setopt() options:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSH_AUTH_TYPES
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSH_PRIVATE_KEYFILE

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Fixed CURLOPT_FAILONERROR to return CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR even for the
|
|
|
- case when 401 or 407 are returned, *IF* no auth credentials have been given.
|
|
|
- The CURLOPT_FAILONERROR option is not possible to make fool-proof for 401
|
|
|
- and 407 cases when auth credentials is given, but we've now covered this
|
|
|
- somewhat more.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is
|
|
|
- detected, like for when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a
|
|
|
- POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test 281 to verify this change.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Ravi Pratap provided a major update with pipelining fixes. We also no longer
|
|
|
- re-use connections (for pipelining) before the name resolving is done.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Nir Soffer made the tests/libtest/Makefile.am use a proper variable for all
|
|
|
- the single test applications' link and dependences, so that you easier can
|
|
|
- override those from the command line when using make.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with
|
|
|
- reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual
|
|
|
- problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (18 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Removed the "protocol-guessing" for URLs with host names starting with FTPS
|
|
|
- or TELNET since they are practically non-existant. This leaves us with only
|
|
|
- three different prefixes that would assume the protocol is anything but
|
|
|
- HTTP, and they are host names starting with "ftp.", "dict." or "ldap.".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Bug report #1579171 pointed out code flaws detected with "prefast", and they
|
|
|
- were 1 - a too small memory clear with memset() in the threaded resolver and
|
|
|
- 2 - a range of potentially bad uses of the ctype family of is*() functions
|
|
|
- such as isdigit(), isalnum(), isprint() and more. The latter made me switch
|
|
|
- to using our own set of these functions/macros using uppercase letters, and
|
|
|
- with some extra set of crazy typecasts to avoid mistakingly passing in
|
|
|
- negative numbers to the underlying is*() functions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- With Jeff Pohlmeyer's help, I fixed the expire timer when using
|
|
|
- curl_multi_socket() during name resolves with c-ares and the LOW_SPEED
|
|
|
- options now work fine with curl_multi_socket() as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Added a check in configure that simply tries to run a program (not when

|
- otherwise would occur when the sizeof tests for curl_off_t would run and
|
|
|
- thus be much more confusing to users. The check of course should run after
|
|
|
- all lib-checks are done and before any other test is used that would run an
|
|
|
- executable built for testing-purposes.

|
-- The tagging of application/x-www-form-urlencoded POST body data sent
|
|
|
- to the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback has been fixed (it was erroneously
|
|
|
- included as part of the header). A message was also added to the
|
|
|
- command line tool to show when data is being sent, enabled when
|
|
|
- --verbose is used.

-Daniel (12 October 2006)
|
|
|
-- Starting now, adding an easy handle to a multi stack that was already added
|
|
|
- to a multi stack will cause CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE to get returned.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer has been working with the hiperfifo.c example source code,
|
|
|
- and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for
|
|
|
- the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to
|
|
|
- be sure we have the correct timeout set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another
|
|
|
- callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time
|
|
|
- changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a
|
|
|
- lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in
|
|
|
- good old libcurl tradition.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Jeff has also updated the hiperfifo.c example code to use this news.

-Daniel (29 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Removed a few other no-longer present options from the header file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Support for FTP third party transfers was removed. Here's why:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- o The recent multi interface changes broke it and the design of the 3rd party
|
|
|
- transfers made it very hard to fix the problems
|
|
|
- o It was still blocking and thus nasty for the multi interface
|
|
|
- o It was a lot of extra code for a very rarely used feature
|
|
|
- o It didn't use the same code as for "plain" FTP transfers, so it didn't work
|
|
|
- fine for IPv6 and it didn't properly re-use connections and more
|
|
|
- o There's nobody around who's willing to work on and improve the existing
|
|
|
- code
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This does not mean that third party transfers are banned forever, only that
|
|
|
- they need to be done better if they are to be re-added in the future.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The CURLOPT_SOURCE_* options are removed from the lib and so are the --3p*
|
|
|
- options from the command line tool. For this reason, I also bumped the
|
|
|
- version info for the lib.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Reported in #1561470 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1561470), libcurl
|
|
|
- would crash if a bad function sequence was used when shutting down after
|
|
|
- using the multi interface (i.e using easy_cleanup after multi_cleanup) so
|
|
|
- precautions have been added to make sure it doesn't any more - test case 529
|
|
|
- was added to verify.

|
|
-- The URL in the cookie jar file is now changed since it was giving a 404.

|
-Daniel (23 September 2006)
|
|

-- Mike Protts added --ftp-ssl-control to make curl use FTP-SSL, but only
|
|
|
- encrypt the control connection and use the data connection "plain".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dmitriy Sergeyev provided a patch that made the SOCKS[45] code work better
|
|
|
- as it now will read the full data sent from servers. The SOCKS-related code
|
|
|
- was also moved to the new lib/socks.c source file.

|
-Daniel (11 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Fixed my breakage from earlier today so that doing curl_easy_cleanup() on a
|
|
|
- handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the
|
|
|
- stack.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL
|
|
|
- session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out
|
|
|
- there that misbehave with session-IDs used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer presented a *multi_socket()-using program that exposed a
|
|
|
- problem with it (SIGSEGV-style). It clearly showed that the existing
|
|
|
- socket-state and state-difference function wasn't good enough so I rewrote
|
|
|
- it and could then re-run Jeff's program without any crash. The previous
|
|
|
- version clearly could miss to tell the application when a handle changed
|
|
|
- from using one socket to using another.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- While I was at it (as I could use this as a means to track this problem
|
|
|
- down), I've now added a 'magic' number to the easy handle struct that is
|
|
|
- inited at curl_easy_init() time and cleared at curl_easy_cleanup() time that
|
|
|
- we can use internally to detect that an easy handle seems to be fine, or at
|
|
|
- least not closed or freed (freeing in debug builds fill the area with 0x13
|
|
|
- bytes but in normal builds we can of course not assume any particular data
|
|
|
- in the freed areas).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Michele Bini fixed how the hostname is put in NTLM packages. As servers
|
|
|
- don't expect fully qualified names we need to cut them off at the first dot.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester cleaned up and fixed the getsockname() uses in ftp.c. Some
|
|
|
- of them can be completetly removed though...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Ravi Pratap and I have implemented HTTP Pipelining support. Enable it for a
|
|
|
- multi handle using CURLMOPT_PIPELINING and all HTTP connections done on that
|
|
|
- handle will be attempted to get pipelined instead of done in parallell as
|
|
|
- they are performed otherwise.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- As a side-effect from this work, connections are now shared between all easy
|
|
|
- handles within a multi handle, so if you use N easy handles for transfers,
|
|
|
- each of them can pick up and re-use a connection that was previously used by
|
|
|
- any of the handles, be it the same or one of the others.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This separation of the tight relationship between connections and easy
|
|
|
- handles is most noticable when you close easy handles that have been used in
|
|
|
- a multi handle and check amount of used memory or watch the debug output, as
|
|
|
- there are times when libcurl will keep the easy handle around for a while
|
|
|
- longer to be able to close it properly. Like for sending QUIT to close down
|
|
|
- an FTP connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is a major change.

-Daniel (4 September 2006)
|
|
|
-- Dmitry Rechkin (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1551412) provided a
|
|
|
- patch that while not fixing things very nicely, it does make the SOCKS5
|
|
|
- proxy connection slightly better as it now acknowledges the timeout for
|
|
|
- connection and it no longer segfaults in the case when SOCKS requires
|
|
|
- authentication and you did not specify username:password.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 August 2006)
|
|

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Gisle (29 August 2006)
|
|
|
-- Added support for other MS-DOS compilers (desides djgpp). All MS-DOS
|
|
|
- compiler now uses the same config.dos file (renamed to config.h by
|
|
|
- make). libcurl now builds fine using Watcom and Metaware's High-C

|
|
- using the Watt-32 tcp/ip-stack.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 August 2006)

-
|
|
|
-- Armel Asselin fixed a crash in the FTP code when using SINGLECWD mode and
|
|
|
- files in the root directory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrew Biggs pointed out a "Expect: 100-continue" flaw where libcurl didn't
|
|
|
- send the whole request at once, even though the Expect: header was disabled
|
|
|
- by the application. An effect of this change is also that small (< 1024
|
|
|
- bytes) POSTs are now always sent without Expect: header since we deem it
|
|
|
- more costly to bother about that than the risk that we send the data in
|
|
|
- vain.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 August 2006)
|
|
|
-- Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place
|
|
|
- in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a
|
|
|
- transfer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 August 2006)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a flaw in the "Expect: 100-continue" treatment. If you did two POSTs
|
|
|
- on a persistent connection and allowed the first to use that header, you
|
|
|
- could not disable it for the second request.

|
|
|
- src/config.h.in was not a proper duplcate of lib/config.h.in which it

|
|
|
-- *ALERT* curl_multi_socket() and curl_multi_socket_all() got modified
|
|
|
- prototypes: they both now provide the number of running handles back to the
|
|
|
- calling function. It makes the functions resemble the good old
|
|
|
- curl_multi_perform() more and provides a nice way to know when the multi
|
|
|
- handle goes empty.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ALERT2: don't use the curl_multi_socket*() functionality in anything
|

- production-like until I say it's somewhat settled, as I suspect there might
|
|
|
- be some further API changes before I'm done...

-Daniel (27 July 2006)
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy added --ftp-ssl-reqd which makes curl *require* SSL for both

- control and data connection, as the existing --ftp-ssl option only requests
|
|
|
- it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- [Hiper-related work] Added a function called curl_multi_assign() that will
|
|
|
- set a private pointer added to the internal libcurl hash table for the
|
|
|
- particular socket passed in to this function:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLMcode curl_multi_assign(CURLM *multi_handle,
|
|
|
- curl_socket_t sockfd,
|
|
|
- void *sockp);
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 'sockp' being a custom pointer set by the application to be associated with
|
|
|
- this socket. The socket has to be already existing and in-use by libcurl,
|
|
|
- like having already called the callback telling about its existance.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The set hashp pointer will then be passed on to the callback in upcoming
|
|
|
- calls when this same socket is used (in the brand new 'socketp' argument).

|
|
|
-- Dan Nelson added the CURLOPT_FTP_ALTERNATIVE_TO_USER libcurl option and curl

-- Jari Sundell did some excellent research and bug tracking, figured out that

|
|
|
- and we didn't properly remove it from the splay tree when an easy handle was
|

- fixes this. I edited test case 8 to include details that test for this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ingmar Runge provided a source snippet that caused a crash. The reason for
|
|
|
- the crash was that libcurl internally was a bit confused about who owned the
|
|
|
- DNS cache at all times so if you created an easy handle that uses a shared
|
|
|
- DNS cache and added that to a multi handle it would crash. Now we keep more
|
|
|
- careful internal track of exactly what kind of DNS cache each easy handle
|
|
|
- uses: None, Private (allocated for and used only by this single handle),
|
|
|
- Shared (points to a cache held by a shared object), Global (points to the
|
|
|
- global cache) or Multi (points to the cache within the multi handle that is
|
|
|
- automatically shared between all easy handles that are added with private
|
|
|
- caches).

-- Peter Silva introduced CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed
|
|
|
- to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's
|
|
|
- option --limit-rate to the library.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead
|
|
|
- provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d

|
- and -F, which it didn't before.

-- Brian Dessent fixed the code for cygwin in three distinct ways:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The first modifies {lib,src}/setup.h to not include the winsock headers
|
|
|
- under Cygwin. This fixes the reported build problem. Cygwin attempts as
|
|
|
- much as possible to emulate a posix environment under Windows. This means
|
|
|
- that WIN32 is *not* #defined and (to the extent possible) everything is done
|
|
|
- as it would be on a *ix type system. Thus <sys/socket.h> is the proper
|
|
|
- include, and even though winsock2.h is present, including it just introduces
|
|
|
- a whole bunch of incompatible socket API stuff.

- The second is a patch I've included in the Cygwin binary packages for a
|
|
|
- while. It skips two unnecessary library checks (-lwinmm and -lgdi32). The
|
|
|
- checks are innocuous and they do succeed, but they pollute LIBS with
|
|
|
- unnecessary stuff which gets recorded as such in the libcurl.la file, which
|
|
|
- brings them into the build of any libcurl-downstream. As far as I know
|
|
|
- these libs are really only necessary for mingw, so alternatively they could
|
|
|
- be designed to only run if $host matches *-*-mingw* but I took the safer
|
|
|
- route of skipping them for *-*-cygwin*.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The third patch replaces all uses of the ancient and obsolete __CYGWIN32__
|
|
|
- with __CYGWIN__. Ref: <https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-09/msg01520.html>.

|
|
|
-- Olaf Stüben fixed a bug that caused Digest authentication with md5-sess to
|
|

- fail. When using the md5-sess, the result was not Md5 encoded and Base64
|
|
|
- transformed.

|
-Daniel (25 May 2006)

-Daniel (23 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Martin Michlmayr filed debian bug report #367954, but the same error also
|
|
|
- showed up in the autobuilds. It seems a rather long-since introduced shell
|
|
|
- script flaw in the configure script suddenly was detected by the bash
|
|
|
- version in Debian Unstable. It had previously passed undetected by all
|
|
|
- shells used so far...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy updated lib/config-tpf.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the configure's check for old-style SSLeay headers since I fell over a
|
|
|
- case with a duplicate file name (a krb4 implementation with an err.h
|
|
|
- file). I converted the check to manually make sure three of the headers are
|
|
|
- present before considering them fine.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy provided a fix for CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET that does extended
|
|
|
- checks on the to-be-returned socket to make sure it truly seems to be alive
|
|
|
- and well. For SSL connection it (only) uses OpenSSL functions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Fixed DICT in two aspects:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1 - allow properly URL-escaped words, like using %20 for spaces
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2 - properly escape certain letters within a word to comply to the RFC2229
|
|

-Daniel (9 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Andreas Ntaflos reported a bug in libcurl.m4: When configuring my GNU
|
|
|
- autotools project, which optionally (default=yes) uses libcurl on a system
|
|
|
- without a (usable) libcurl installation, but not specifying
|
|
|
- `--without-libcurl', configure determines correctly that no libcurl is
|
|
|
- available, however, the LIBCURL variable gets expanded to `LIBCURL = -lcurl'
|
|
|
- in the resulting Makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- David Shaw fixed the flaw.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robson Braga Araujo fixed two problems in the recently added non-blocking SSL
|
|
|
- connects. The state machine was not reset properly so that subsequent
|
|
|
- connects using the same handle would fail, and there were two memory leaks.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robson Braga Araujo fixed a memory leak when you added an easy handle to a
|
|
|
- multi stack and that easy handle had already been used to do one or more
|
|
|
- easy interface transfers, as then the code threw away the previously used
|
|
|
- DNS cache without properly freeing it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich went over the TFTP code and he pointed out and fixed numerous
|
|
|
- problems:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * The received file is corrupted when a packet is lost and retransmitted
|
|
|
- (this is a serious problem!)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Transmitting a file aborts if a block is lost and retransmitted
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Data is stored in the wrong location in the buffer for uploads, so uploads
|
|
|
- always fail (I don't see how it could have ever worked, but it did on x86
|
|
|
- at least)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * A number of calls are made to strerror instead of Curl_strerror, making
|
|
|
- the code not thread safe
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * There are references to errno instead of Curl_sockerrno(), causing
|
|
|
- incorrect error messages on Windows
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * The file name includes a leading / which violates RFC3617. Doing something
|
|
|
- similar to ftp, where two slashes after the host name means an absolute
|
|
|
- reference seems a reasonable extension to fix this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Failures in EBCDIC conversion are not propagated up to the caller but are
|
|
|
- silently ignored
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed known bug #28. The TFTP code no longer assumes a packed struct and
|
|
|
- thus works reliably on more platforms.

-Daniel (5 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Roland Blom filed bug report #1481217
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele
|
|
|
- Bini and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on
|
|
|
- windows to get error details after socket-related function calls, when it
|
|
|
- really should use WSAGetLastError() instead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
|
|
|
- called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
|
|
|
- socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Mark Eichin submitted bug report #1480821
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1480821) He found and identified a
|
|
|
- problem with how libcurl dealt with GnuTLS and a case where gnutls returned
|
|
|
- GNUTLS_E_AGAIN indicating it would block. It would then return an unexpected
|
|
|
- return code, making Curl_ssl_send() confuse the upper layer - causing random
|
|
|
- 28 bytes trash data to get inserted in the transfered stream.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The proper fix was to make the Curl_gtls_send() function return the proper
|
|
|
- return codes that the callers would expect. The Curl_ossl_send() function
|
|
|
- already did this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 May 2006)
|
|
|
-- Added a --checkfor option to curl-config to allow users to easier
|
|
|
- write for example shell scripts that test for the presence of a
|
|
|
- new-enough libcurl version. If --checkfor is given a version string
|
|
|
- newer than what is currently installed, curl-config will return a
|
|
|
- non-zero exit code and output a string about the unfulfilled
|
|
|
- requirement.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy brought initial line end conversions when doing FTP ASCII
|
|
|
- transfers. They are done on non-windows systems and translate CRLF to LF.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I modified the 15 LIST-using test cases accordingly. The downside is that now
|
|
|
- we'll have even more trouble to get the tests to run on Windows since they
|
|
|
- should get CRLF newlines left intact which the *nix versions don't. I figure
|
|
|
- the only sane thing to do is to add some kind of [newline] macro for the test
|
|
|
- case files and have them expanded to the proper native line ending when the
|
|
|
- test cases are run. This is however left to implement.
|

|
|
-Daniel (25 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- Paul Querna fixed libcurl to better deal with deflate content encoding
|
|
|
- when the stream (wrongly) lacks a proper zlib header. This seems to be the

|
|
- case on too many actual server implementations.

-Daniel (19 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- Based on previous info from Tor Arntsen, I made configure detect the Intel
|
|
|
- ICC compiler to add a compiler option for it, in order for configure to
|
|
|
- properly be able to detect function prototypes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robson Braga Araujo provided a patch that makes libcurl less eager to close
|
|
|
- the control connection when using FTP, for example when you remove an easy
|
|
|
- handle from a multi stack.
|
|
|
-

|
-Daniel (11 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- #1468330 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1468330) pointed out a bad
|
|
|
- typecast in the curl tool leading to a crash with (64bit?) VS2005 (at least)
|
|
|
- since the struct timeval field tv_sec is an int while time_t is 64bit.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- Ates Goral found out that if you specified both CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT and

|
- CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, the _longer_ time would wrongly be used for the SSL
|
|
|
- connection time-out!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I merged my hiper patch (https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/hiper/) into the main
|
|
|
- sources. See the lib/README.multi_socket for implementation story with
|
|
|
- details. Don't expect it to work fully yet. I don't intend to blow any

|
|
|
- least somewhat reliably.
|
|
|
-
|
|

-Daniel (7 April 2006)
|
|
|
-- David McCreedy's EBCDIC and TPF changes. Three new curl_easy_setopt()

-- Michele Bini modified the NTLM code to work for his "weird IIS case"
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2006-02/0154.html) by adding the NTLM hash
|
|
|
- function in addition to the LM one and making some other adjustments in the
|
|
|
- order the different parts of the data block are sent in the Type-2 reply.
|
|
|
- Inspiration for this work was taken from the Firefox NTLM implementation.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I edited the existing 21(!) NTLM test cases to run fine with these news. Due
|
|
|
- to the fact that we now properly include the host name in the Type-2 message
|
|
|
- the test cases now only compare parts of that chunk.

-Daniel (27 March 2006)
|
|
|
-- David Byron found a problem multiple -d options when libcurl was built with
|
|
|
- --enable-debug, as then curl used free() on memory allocated both with
|
|

- normal malloc() and with libcurl-provided functions, when the latter MUST be
|
|
|
- freed with curl_free() in debug builds.
|

-Daniel (26 March 2006)
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen figured out that TFTP was broken on a lot of systems since we
|

- called bind() with a too big argument in the 3rd parameter and at least
|
|
|
- Tru64, AIX and IRIX seem to be very picky about it.

- reacts properly according to the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL setting.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich fixed two TFTP problems: Fixed a bug whereby a received file
|

|
|
|
-- VULNERABILITY reported to us by Ulf Harnhammar.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl uses the given file part of a TFTP URL in a manner that allows a
|
|
|
- malicious user to overflow a heap-based memory buffer due to the lack of
|
|
|
- boundary check.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This overflow happens if you pass in a URL with a TFTP protocol prefix
|
|
|
- ("tftp://"), using a valid host and a path part that is longer than 512
|
|
|
- bytes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The affected flaw can be triggered by a redirect, if curl/libcurl is told to
|
|
|
- follow redirects and an HTTP server points the client to a tftp URL with the
|
|
|
- characteristics described above.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned the name
|
|
|
- CVE-2006-1061 to this issue.

-- Markus Koetter filed debian bug report #355715 which identified a problem
|
|
|
- with the multi interface and multi-part formposts. The fix from February
|
|
|
- 22nd could make the Curl_done() function get called twice on the same
|
|
|
- connection and it was not designed for that and thus tried to call free() on
|
|
|
- an already freed memory area!
|

-Daniel (6 March 2006)
|
|
|
-- Lots of users on Windows have reported getting the "SSL: couldn't set
|

|
- callback" error message so I've now made the setting of that callback not be
|
|
|
- as critical as before. The function is only used for additional loggging/

|
-- FTP upload without a file name part in the URL now causes

|
-- Lots of work and analysis by "xbx___" in bug #1431750
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1431750) helped me identify and fix two
|
|
|
- different but related bugs:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1) Removing an easy handle from a multi handle before the transfer is done
|
|
|
- could leave a connection in the connection cache for that handle that is
|
|
|
- in a state that isn't suitable for re-use. A subsequent re-use could then
|
|
|
- read from a NULL pointer and segfault.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2) When an easy handle was removed from the multi handle, there could be an
|
|
|
- outstanding c-ares DNS name resolve request. When the response arrived,
|
|
|
- it caused havoc since the connection struct it "belonged" to could've
|
|
|
- been freed already.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now Curl_done() is called when an easy handle is removed from a multi handle
|
|
|
- pre-maturely (that is, before the transfer was complteted). Curl_done() also
|
|
|
- makes sure to cancel all (if any) outstanding c-ares requests.

-- Peter Su added support for SOCKS4 proxies. Enable this by setting the proxy
|
|
|
- type to the already provided type CURLPROXY_SOCKS4.
|
|

- I added a --socks4 option that works like the current --socks5 option but
|
|
|
- instead use the socks4 protocol.

- with re-used FTP connections. If the second request on the same connection
|
|
|
- was set not to fetch a "body", libcurl could get confused and consider it an
|
|
|
- attempt to use a dead connection and would go acting mighty strange.

-- Added CURLOPT_LOCALPORT and CURLOPT_LOCALPORTRANGE to libcurl. Set with the
|
|
|
- curl tool with --local-port. Plain and simply set the range of ports to bind
|
|
|
- the local end of connections to. Implemented on to popular demand.

|
|
|
-- Based on an error report by Philippe Vaucher, we no longer count a retried
|
|
|
- connection setup as a follow-redirect. It turns out 1) this fails when a FTP

|
|
|
- wrong.

|
-- Michal Marek provided a patch for FTP that makes libcurl continue to try
|
|
|
- PASV even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to
|
|
|
- connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are
|
|
|
- going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't
|
|
|
- understand EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV
|
|
|
- was used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.

|
|
|
- "native" IP while it works fine for IPv6-disabled builds!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- In the process of fixing this, I removed the support for LPRT since I can't
|
|
|
- think of many reasons to keep doing it and asking on the mailing list didn't
|
|
|
- reveal anyone else that could either. The code that sends EPRT and PORT is
|
|
|
- now also a lot simpler than before (IMHO).

-- As reported in bug #1408742 (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1408742),
|
|
|
- the configure script complained about a missing "missing" script if you ran
|
|
|
- configure within a path whose name included one or more spaces. This is due
|
|
|
- to a flaw in automake (1.9.6 and earlier). I've now worked around it by
|
|
|
- including an "overloaded" version of the AM_MISSING_HAS_RUN script that'll
|
|
|
- be used instead of the one automake ships with. This kludge needs to be
|
|
|
- removed once we get an automake version with this problem corrected.
|
|
|
- Possibly we'll then need to convert this into a kludge depending on what
|

|
|
-- I decided to document the "secret option" here now, as I've received *NO*
|
|
|
- feedback at all on my mailing list requests from November 2005:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I'm looking for feedback and comments. I added some experimental code the
|
|
|
- other day, that allows a libcurl user to select what method libcurl should
|
|
|
- use to reach a file on a FTP(S) server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This functionality is available in CVS code and in recent daily snapshots.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Let me explain...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The current name for the option is CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD (--ftp-method for
|
|
|
- the command line tool) and you set it to a long (there are currenly no
|
|
|
- defines for the argument values, just plain numericals). You can set three
|
|
|
- different "methods" that do this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1 multicwd - like today, curl will do a single CWD operation for each path
|
|
|
- part in the given URL. For deep hierarchies this means very many
|
|
|
- commands. This is how RFC1738 says it should be done. This is the
|
|
|
- default.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2 nocwd - no CWD at all is done, curl will do SIZE, RETR, STOR etc and give
|
|
|
- a full path to the server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 3 singlecwd - make one CWD with the full target directory and then operate
|
|
|
- on the file "normally".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (With the command line tool you do --ftp-method [METHOD], where [METHOD] is
|
|
|
- one of "multicwd", "nocwd" or "singlecwd".)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- What feedback I'm interested in:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1 - Do they work at all? Do you find servers where one of these don't work?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2 - What would proper names for the option and its arguments be, if we
|
|
|
- consider this feature good enough to get included and documented in
|
|
|
- upcoming releases?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 3 - Should we make libcurl able to "walk through" these options in case of
|
|
|
- (path related) failures, or should it fail and let the user redo any
|
|
|
- possible retries?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (This option is not documented in any man page just yet since I'm not sure
|
|
|
- these names will be used or if the functionality will end up exactly like
|
|
|
- this. And for the same reasons we have no test cases for these yet.)

-Daniel (10 January 2006)
|
|
|
-- When using a bad path over FTP, as in when libcurl couldn't CWD into all
|
|
|
- given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the
|
|
|
- current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would
|
|
|
- get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue
|
|
|
- any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be
|
|
|
- "remembered" after returning.

|
|
- VULNERABILITY
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl's URL parser function can overflow a malloced buffer in two ways, if
|
|
|
- given a too long URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- These overflows happen if you
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1 - pass in a URL with no protocol (like "http://") prefix, using no slash
|
|
|
- and the string is 256 bytes or longer. This leads to a single zero byte
|
|
|
- overflow of the malloced buffer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2 - pass in a URL with only a question mark as separator (no slash) between
|
|
|
- the host and the query part of the URL. This leads to a single zero byte
|
|
|
- overflow of the malloced buffer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Both overflows can be made with the same input string, leading to two single
|
|
|
- zero byte overwrites.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The affected flaw cannot be triggered by a redirect, but the long URL must
|
|
|
- be passed in "directly" to libcurl. It makes this a "local" problem. Of
|
|
|
- course, lots of programs may still pass in user-provided URLs to libcurl
|
|
|
- without doing much syntax checking of their own, allowing a user to exploit
|
|
|
- this vulnerability.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- There is no known exploit at the time of this writing.

- secur32.dll and Windows 2000 and XP contains both these DLLs (security.dll

-- Vilmos Nebehaj improved libcurl's LDAP abilities:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 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

- A - pass in a user name and domain name to libcurl that together are longer

- B - allow (lib)curl to follow HTTP "redirects" (Location: and the

-- Toby Peterson added CURLOPT_IGNORE_CONTENT_LENGTH to the library, accessible

|
|
- 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 to verify that this works.

-- (Trying hard to exclude emotions now.) valgrind version 3 suddenly renamed

-- Norbert Novotny had problems with FTPS and he helped me work out a patch
|
|
|
- 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.

-- Jeff Pohlmeyer found out that if you ask libcurl to load a cookiefile (with
|
|
|
- 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.

-Daniel (15 August 2005)

-- James Bursa identified a libcurl HTTP bug and a good way to repeat it. If a

|
- site responds with bad HTTP response that doesn't contain any header at all,
|
|
|
- only a response body, and the write callback returns 0 to abort the
|
|

- called once more anyway.

- 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

|
- with NTLM on a HTTP proxy if an FTP URL was given. libcurl now properly

-- Gisle Vanem came up with a nice little work-around for bug #1230118
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1230118). It seems the Windows (MSVC)
|
|
|
- libc time functions may return data one hour off if TZ is not set and
|
|
|
- automatic DST adjustment is enabled. This made curl_getdate() return wrong
|
|
|
- value, and it also concerned internal cookie expirations etc.

|
-Daniel (4 July 2005)
|
|
|
-- Andrew Bushnell provided enough info for me to tell that we badly needed to
|
|
|
- fix the CONNECT authentication code with multi-pass auth methods (such as
|
|
|
- NTLM) as it didn't previously properly ignore response-bodies - in fact it
|
|
|
- stopped reading after all response headers had been received. This could
|
|
|
- lead to libcurl sending the next request and reading the body from the first
|
|
|
- request as response to the second request. (I also renamed the function,
|
|
|
- which wasn't strictly necessary but...)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The best fix would to once and for all make the CONNECT code use the
|
|
|
- ordinary request sending/receiving code, treating it as any ordinary request
|
|
|
- instead of the special-purpose function we have now. It should make it
|
|
|
- better for multi-interface too. And possibly lead to less code...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test case 265 for this. It doesn't work as a _really_ good test case
|
|
|
- since the test proxy is too stupid, but the test case helps when running the
|
|
|
- debugger to verify.

-- Grigory Entin reported that curl's configure detects a fine poll() for Mac
|
|
|
- OS X 10.4 (while 10.3 or later detected a "bad" one), but the executable
|
|
|
- doesn't work as good as if built without poll(). I've adjusted the configure
|
|
|
- to always skip the fine-poll() test on Mac OS X (darwin).

-Daniel (12 May 2005)
|
|
|
-- When doing a second request (after a disconnect) using the same easy handle,
|
|
|
- over a proxy that uses NTLM authentication, libcurl failed to use NTLM again
|
|
|
- properly (the auth method was accidentally reset to the same as had been set
|
|
|
- for host auth, which defaults to Basic). Bug report #1200661
|
|
|
- (https://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1200661) identified the the problem and
|
|
|
- the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- If -z/--time-cond is used with an invalid date syntax, this is no longer
|

|
|
|
-- Starting now, libcurl sends a little different set of headers in its default
|
|
|
- HTTP requests:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
|
|
|
- - no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
|
|
|
- - "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
|
|
|
- - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
|
|
|
- - "Host: [name]:[port]"
|
|
|
- - "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The A) case is mostly to reduce the default header size and remove a
|
|
|
- pointless header.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The B) is to address (rare) problems with HTTP 1.0 proxies
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The C) headers are both to address (rare) problems with some proxies. The
|
|
|
- code in libcurl that deals with CONNECT requests need a rewrite, but it
|
|
|
- feels like a too big a job for me to do now. Details are added in the code
|
|
|
- comments for now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Updated a large amount of test cases to reflect the news.

-Daniel (2 May 2005)
|
|
|
-- Sort of "fixed" KNOWN_BUGS #4: curl now builds IPv6 enabled on AIX 4.3. At
|
|
|
- least it should no longer cause a compiler error. However, it does not have
|
|
|
- AI_NUMERICHOST so we cannot getaddrinfo() any numerical addresses with it
|
|
|
- (we use that for FTP PORT/EPRT)! So, I modified the configure check that
|
|
|
- checks if the getaddrinfo() is working, to use AI_NUMERICHOST since then
|
|
|
- it'll fail on AIX 4.3 and it will automatically build with IPv6 support
|
|
|
- disabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added --trace-time that when used adds a time stamp to each trace line that
|
|
|
- --trace, --trace-ascii and --verbose output. I also made the '>' display
|
|
|
- separate each line on the linefeed so that HTTP requests etc look nicer in
|
|
|
- the -v output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made curl recognize the environment variables Lynx (and others?) support for
|
|
|
- pointing out the CA cert path/file: SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE. If
|
|
|
- CURL_CA_BUNDLE is not set, they are checked afterwards.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Like before: on windows if none of these are set, it checks for the ca cert
|
|
|
- file like this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1. application's directory
|
|
|
- 2. current working directory

|
|
- 3. Windows System directory (e.g. C:\windows\system32)

-- The runtests.pl script now starts test servers by doing fork() and exec()
|
|
|
- instead of the previous approach. This is less complicated and should

- hopefully lead to less "leaked" servers (servers that aren't stopped
|
|
|
- properly when the tests are stopped).
|
|
|
-
|

|
-- Alexander Zhuravlev found a case when you did "curl -I [URL]" and it

-- Working on fixing up test cases to mark sections as 'mode=text' for things
|

- that curl writes as text files, since then they can get different line
|
|
|
- endings depending on OS. Andrés García helps me work this out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Did lots of other minor tweaks on the test scripts to work better and more
|
|
|
- reliably find test servers and also kill test servers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich pointed out how the runtests.pl script killed the HTTP server

|
-- Paul Moore made curl check for the .curlrc file (_curlrc on windows) on two

|
- more places. First, CURL_HOME is a new environment variable that is used
|
|
|
- instead of HOME if it is set, to point out where the default config file
|
|
|
- lives. If there's no config file in the dir pointed out by one of the

-- Fred New reported a bug where we used Basic auth and user name and password
|
|

-- Alex Suykov made the curl tool now assume that uploads using HTTP:// or
|
|
|
- HTTPS:// are the only ones that show output and thus motivates a switched

|
-
|
|
|
-- Toshiyuki Maezawa reported that when doing a POST with a read callback,
|
|
|
- libcurl didn't properly send an Expect: 100-continue header. It does now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I committed by mig change in the test suite's FTP server that moves out all
|
|

- as in the first request when curl sends a POST with Content-Length: 0, it

- still forcibly closed the connection before doing the next step in the auth
|
|
|
- negotiation.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-- Jesper Jensen found out that FTP-SSL didn't work since my FTP
|
|
|
- rewrite. Fixing that was easy, but it also revealed a much worse problem:
|
|
|
- the FTP server response reader function didn't properly deal with reading
|
|
|
- responses in multiple tiny chunks properly! I modified the FTP server to
|
|
|
- allow it to produce such split-up responses to make sure curl deals with
|
|
|
- them as it should.

-- Based on Augustus Saunders' comments and findings, the HTTP output auth
|
|
|
- function was fixed to use the proper proxy authentication when multiple ones

-- Tru64 and some IRIX boxes seem to not like test 237 as it is. Their
|
|
|
- inet_addr() functions seems to use &255 on all numericals in a ipv4 dotted
|
|
|
- address which makes a different failure... Now I've modified the IPv4
|
|
|
- resolve code to use inet_pton() instead in an attempt to make these systems

|
|
- better detect this as a bad IP address rather than creating a toally bogus
|
|
|
- address that is then passed on and used.

-- Added test 237 and 238: test EPSV and PASV response handling when they get

|
|
|
- that picks NTLM. Thanks to David Byron letting me test NTLM against his
|
|
|
- servers, I could quickly repeat and fix the problem. It turned out to be:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When libcurl POSTs without knowing/using an authentication and it gets back
|
|
|
- a list of types from which it picks NTLM, it needs to either continue
|
|
|
- sending its data if it keeps the connection alive, or not send the data but
|
|
|
- close the connection. Then do the first step in the NTLM auth. libcurl
|
|
|
- didn't send the data nor close the connection but simply read the
|
|
|
- response-body and then sent the first negotiation step. Which then failed
|

|
|
|
- than 2000 bytes left to send.

-Daniel (10 February 2005)
|
|
|
-- Now the test script disables valgrind-testing when the test suite runs if
|
|
|
- libcurl is built shared. Otherwise valgrind only tests the shell that runs
|
|
|
- the wrapper-script named 'curl' that is a front-end to curl in this case.
|
|
|
- This should also fix the huge amount of reports of false positives when
|
|
|
- valgrind has identified leaks in (ba)sh and not in curl and people report
|
|
|
- that as curl bugs. Bug report #1116672 is one example.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Also, the valgrind report parser has been adapted to check that at least one
|
|
|
- of the sources in a stack strace is one of (lib)curl's source files or
|
|
|
- otherwise it will not consider the problem to concern (lib)curl.

|
-- David Byron fixed his SSL problems, initially mentioned here:
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2005-01/0240.html. It turned out we didn't use
|
|
|
- SSL_pending() as we should.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Converted lots of FTP code to a statemachine, so that the multi interface
|
|
|
- doesn't block while communicating commands-responses with an FTP server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've added a comment like BLOCKING in the code on all spots I could find
|
|
|
- where we still have blocking operations. When we change curl_easy_perform()
|
|
|
- to use the multi interface, we'll also be able to simplify the code since
|
|
|
- there will only be one "internal interface".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- While doing this, I've now made CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED separate from the
|
|
|
- new CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED. The first one is now access denied to a function,
|
|
|
- like changing directory or retrieving a file, while the second means that we
|
|
|
- were denied login.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The CVS tag 'before_ftp_statemachine' was set just before this went in, in
|
|
|
- case of future need.

-- Fixed a valgrind warning for file:// operations.
|
|

|
|
-- Fixed a valgrind report in the url globbing code for the curl command line
|
|
|
- tool.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bugfixed the parser that scans the valgrind report outputs (in runtests.pl).
|
|
|
- I noticed that it previously didn't detect and report the "Conditional jump
|
|
|
- or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" error. When I fixed this, I
|
|
|
- caught a few curl bugs with it. And then I had to spend time to make the
|
|
|
- test suite IGNORE these errors when OpenSSL is used since it produce massive
|
|
|
- amounts of valgrind warnings (but only of the "Conditional..." kind it
|
|
|
- seems). So, if a test that requires SSL is run, it ignores the
|
|
|
- "Conditional..." errors, and you'll get a "valgrind PARTIAL" output instead
|
|
|
- of "valgrind OK".

|
-- Using the multi interface, and doing a requsted a re-used connection that
|
|
|
- gets closed just after the request has been sent failed and did not re-issue
|
|
|
- a request on a fresh reconnect like the easy interface did. Now it does!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Define CURL_MULTIEASY when building libcurl (lib/easy.c to be exact), to use
|
|
|
- my new curl_easy_perform() that uses the multi interface to run the
|
|
|
- request. It is a great testbed for the multi interface and I believe we
|
|
|
- shall do it this way for real in the future when we have a successor to
|
|
|
- curl_multi_fdset(). I've used this approach to detect and fix several of the
|
|
|
- recent multi-interfaces issues.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted the KNOWN_BUGS #17 fix a bit more since the FTP code also did some
|
|
|
- bad assumptions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- multi interface: when a request is denied due to "Maximum redirects
|
|
|
- followed" libcurl leaked the last Location: URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Connect failures with the multi interface was often returned as "connect()
|
|
|
- timed out" even though the reason was different.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 January 2005)
|
|
|
-- KNOWN_BUGS #17 fixed. A DNS cache entry may not remain locked between two
|
|
|
- curl_easy_perform() invokes. It was previously unlocked at disconnect, which
|
|
|
- could mean that it remained locked between multiple transfers. The DNS cache
|
|
|
- may not live as long as the connection cache does, as they are separate.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To deal with the lack of DNS (host address) data availability in re-used
|
|
|
- connections, libcurl now keeps a copy of the IP adress as a string, to be
|
|
|
- able to show it even on subsequent requests on the same connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The problem could be made to appear with this stunt:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1. create a multi handle
|
|
|
- 2. add an easy handle
|
|
|
- 3. fetch a URL that is persistent (leaves the connection alive)
|
|
|
- 4. remove the easy handle from the multi
|
|
|
- 5. kill the multi handle
|
|
|
- 6. create a multi handle
|
|
|
- 7. add the same easy handle to the new multi handle
|
|
|
- 8. fetch a URL from the same server as before (re-using the connection)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stephen More pointed out that CURLOPT_FTPPORT and the -P option didn't work
|
|
|
- when built IPv6-enabled. I've now made a fix for it. Writing test cases for

|
- custom port hosts turned too tricky so unfortunately there's none.

|
-Daniel (25 January 2005)
|
|
|
-- Ian Ford asked about support for the FTP command ACCT, and I discovered it
|
|
|
- is present in RFC959... so now (lib)curl supports it as well. --ftp-account
|
|
|
- and CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT set the account string. (The server may ask for an
|
|
|
- account string after PASS have been sent away. The client responds
|
|
|
- with "ACCT [account string]".) Added test case 228 and 229 to verify the
|
|
|
- functionality. Updated the test FTP server to support ACCT somewhat.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Shaw contributed a fairly complete and detailed autoconf test you can

-Daniel (21 January 2005)
|
|
|
-- Major FTP third party transfer overhaul.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- These four options are now obsolete: CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST,
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH, CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT (this option didn't work before)
|
|
|
- and CURLOPT_PASV_HOST.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- These two options are added: CURLOPT_SOURCE_URL and CURLOPT_SOURCE_QUOTE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The target-side didn't use the proper path with RETR, and thus this only
|
|
|
- worked correctly in the login path (i.e without doing any CWD). The source-
|
|
|
- side still uses a wrong path, but the fix for this will need to wait. Verify
|
|
|
- the flaw by using a source URL with included %XX-codes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Made CURLOPT_FTPPORT control weather the target operation should use PORT
|
|
|
- (or not). The other side thus uses passive (PASV) mode.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Updated the ftp3rdparty.c example source to use the updated options.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added support for a second FTP server in the test suite. Named... ftp2.
|
|
|
- Added test cases 230, 231 and 232 as a few first basic tests of very simple
|
|
|
- 3rd party transfers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Changed the debug output to include 'target' and 'source' when a 3rd party
|
|
|
- is being made, to make it clearer what commands/responses came on what
|
|
|
- connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added three new command line options: --3p-url, --3p-user and --3p-quote.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Documented the command line options and the curl_easy_setopt options related
|
|
|
- to third party transfers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (Temporarily) disabled the ability to re-use an existing connection for the
|
|
|
- source connection. This is because it needs to force a new in case the
|
|
|
- source and target is the same host, and the host name check is trickier now
|
|
|
- when the source is identified with a full URL instead of a plain host name
|
|
|
- like before.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- TODO (short-term) for 3rd party transfers: quote support. The options are
|
|
|
- there, we need to add test cases to verify their functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- TODO (long-term) for 3rd party transfers: IPv6 support (EPRT and EPSV etc)
|
|
|
- and SSL/TSL support.

-Daniel (19 January 2005)
|
|
|
-- Stephan Bergmann made libcurl return CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT if an FTP URL
|
|
|
- contains %0a or %0d in the user, password or CWD parts. (A future fix would
|
|
|
- include doing it for %00 as well - see KNOWN_BUGS for details.) Test case
|
|
|
- 225 and 226 were added to verify this
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stephan Bergmann pointed out two flaws in libcurl built with HTTP disabled:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 1) the proxy environment variables are still read and used to set HTTP proxy
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 2) you couldn't disable http proxy with CURLOPT_PROXY (since the option was
|
|
|
- disabled). This is important since apps may want to disable HTTP proxy
|
|
|
- without actually knowing if libcurl was built to disable HTTP or not.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Based on Stephan's patch, both these issues should now be fixed.

-- Alex aka WindEagle pointed out that when doing "curl -v dictionary.com", curl
|
|
|
- assumed this used the DICT protocol. While guessing protocols will remain
|
|
|
- fuzzy, I've now made sure that the host names must start with "[protocol]."
|
|
|
- for them to be a valid guessable name. I also removed "https" as a prefix
|
|
|
- that indicates HTTPS, since we hardly ever see any host names using that.

|
|
|
-- Inspired by Martijn Koster's patch and example source at

-- I investigated our PKCS12 build problem on Solaris 2.7 with OpenSSL 0.9.7e,

|
|
- named 'free_func' and the OpenSSL headers have a prototype that uses
|
|
|
- 'free_func' in one of its arguments. This is why the compile errors out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- In other words, we need to include the openssl/pkcs12.h header before the
|
|
|
- zlib.h header and it builds fine. The configure script now checks for this

|
|
|
-- Gisle added CURLINFO_SSL_ENGINES to curl_easy_getinfo() to allow an app
|
|
|
- to list all available crypto ENGINES.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle fixed bug report #1083542, which pointed out a problem with resuming
|
|
|
- large file (>4GB) file:// transfers on windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made the test suite HTTP server (sws) capable of using IPv6, and then
|
|
|
- extended the test environment to support that and also added three test
|
|
|
- cases (240, 241, 242) that run tests using IPv6. Test 242 uses a URL that
|
|
|
- didn't work before the 10 dec fix by Kai Sommerfeld.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made a failed file:// resume output an error message
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Corrected the CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME error message in lib/strerror.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- simplified and consolidated the SSL checks in configure and the usage of the
|
|
|
- defines in lib/setup.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- provided a first libcurl.pc.in file for pkg-config (but the result is not
|
|
|
- installed anywhere at this point)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- extended the cross compile section in the docs/INSTALL file
|
|
|

|
-Daniel (10 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- When providing user name in the URL and a IPv6-style IP-address (like in
|
|
|
- "ftp://user@[::1]/tmp"), the URL parser didn't get the host extracted
|
|
|
- properly. Reported and fixed by Kai Sommerfeld.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Ton Voon provided a configure fix that should fix the notorious (mostly
|
|
|
- reported on Solaris) problem where the size_t check fails due to the SSL
|
|
|
- libs being found in a dir not searched through by the run-time linker.
|
|
|
- patch-tracker entry #1081707.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bryan Henderson pointed out in bug report #1081788 that the curl-config
|
|
|
- --vernum output wasn't zero prefixed properly (as claimed in documentation).
|
|
|
- This is fixed in maketgz now.

-Daniel (8 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Matt Veenstra updated the mach-O framework files for Mac OS X.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rene Bernhardt found and fixed a buffer overrun in the NTLM code, where
|
|
|
- libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero
|
|
|
- bytes. This is not an exploitable buffer overflow. No need to get alarmed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed so that the final error message is sent to the verbose info "stream"
|
|
|
- even if no errorbuffer is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-cookies option to configure to build
|
|
|
- libcurl without cookie support. This is mainly useful if you want to build a
|
|
|
- minimalistic libcurl with no cookies support at all. Like for embedded
|
|
|
- systems or similar.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Richard Atterer fixed libcurl's way of dealing with the EPSV
|
|
|
- response. Previously, libcurl would re-resolve the host name with the new
|
|
|
- port number and attempt to connect to that, while it should use the IP from
|
|
|
- the control channel. This bug made it hard to EPSV from an FTP server with
|
|
|
- multiple IP addresses!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Bug report #1078066: when a chunked transfer was pre-maturely closed exactly
|
|
|
- at a chunk boundary it was not considered an error and thus went unnoticed.
|
|
|
- Fixed by Maurice Barnum.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test case 207 to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 December 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the CONNECT loop to default timeout to 3600 seconds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test case 206 that makes CONNECT with Digest.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Fixed a flaw that prepended "(nil)" to the initial CONNECT rqeuest's user-
|
|
|
- agent field.

-Daniel (30 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich's fix for libz 1.1 and "extra field" usage in a gzip stream
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan also helped me with input data to create three more test cases for the
|
|
|
- --compressed option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- I improved the test suite to enable binary contents in the tests (by proving
|
|
|
- it base64 encoded), like for testing decompress etc. Added test 220 and 221
|
|
|
- for this purpose. Tests can now also depend on libz to run.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- As reported by Reinout van Schouwen in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12285
|
|
|
- (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12285), when connecting to an
|
|
|
- IPv6 host with FTP, --disable-epsv (or --disable-eprt) effectively disables
|
|
|
- the ability to transfer a file. Now, when connected to an FTP server with
|
|
|
- IPv6, these FTP commands can't be disabled even if asked to with the
|
|
|
- available libcurl options.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- As reported in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12289
|
|
|
- (http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12289), curl would print a
|
|
|
- newline to "finish" the progress meter after each redirect and not only
|
|
|
- after a completed transfer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- FTP improvements:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If EPSV, EPRT or LPRT is tried and doesn't work, it will not be retried on
|
|
|
- the same server again even if a following request is made using a persistent
|
|
|
- connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If a second request is made to a server, requesting a file from the same
|
|
|
- directory as the previous request operated on, libcurl will no longer make
|
|
|
- that long series of CWD commands just to end up on the same spot. Note that
|
|
|
- this is only for *exactly* the same dir. There is still room for improvements
|
|
|
- to optimize the CWD-sending when the dirs are only slightly different.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test 210, 211 and 212 to verify these changes. Had to improve the
|
|
|
- test script too and added a new primitive to the test file format.
|
|
|

|
-Daniel (24 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed the configure script to detect select properly when run
|
|
|
- with Msys/Mingw on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made HTTP PUT and POST requests no longer use HEAD when doing multi-pass
|
|
|
- auth negotiation (NTLM, Digest and Negotiate), but instead use the request
|
|
|
- keyword "properly". Details in lib/README.httpauth. This also introduces
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION and CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, to be used by apps that use the
|
|
|
- "any" auth alternative as then libcurl may need to send the PUT/POST data
|
|
|
- more than once and thus may need to ask the app to "rewind" the read data
|
|
|
- stream to start.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- See also the new example using this: docs/examples/anyauthput.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Phillips enhanced test 518. I made it depend on a "feature" so that
|
|
|
- systems without getrlimit() won't attempt to test 518. configure now checks
|
|
|
- for getrlimit() and setrlimit() for this test case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Phillips fixed libcurl to not crash anymore when more than FD_SETSIZE
|
|
|
- file descriptors are in use. Test case 518 added to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- To test my fix for the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME bug, I added time_redirect and
|
|
|
- num_redirects support to the -w writeout option for the command line tool.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Wojciech Zwiefka found out that CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME didn't work as
|
|
|
- documented.

-Daniel (12 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem modigied the MSVC and Netware makefiles to build without
|
|
|
- libcurl.def
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-crypto-auth option to configure to allow
|
|
|
- libcurl to build without Digest support. (I figure it should also explicitly
|
|
|
- disable Negotiate and NTLM.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- *** Modified Behaviour Alert ***
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL will no longer do a GET.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" will send a zero byte POST and setting
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to zero will also make
|
|
|
- a zero byte POST. Added test case 515 to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Setting CURLOPT_HTTPPOST to NULL makes a zero byte post. Added test case 516
|
|
|
- to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE must now be set to -1 to signal "we don't know".
|
|
|
- Setting it to zero simply says this is a zero byte POST.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When providing POST data with a read callback, setting the size up front
|
|
|
- is now made with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE and not with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE.
|
|
|

|
-Daniel (11 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich added --disable-verbose to the configure script to allow builds
|
|
|
- without verbose strings in the code, to save some 12KB space. Makes sense
|
|
|
- only for systems with very little memory resources.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Phillips found out that a date string with a year beyond 2038 could
|
|
|
- crash the new date parser on systems with 32bit time_t. We now check for
|
|
|
- this case and deal with it.

|
-Daniel (10 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- I installed Heimdal on my Debian box (using the debian package) and noticed
|
|
|
- that configure --with-gssapi failed to create a nice build. Fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem marked all external function calls with CURL_EXTERN so that now

|
-- Made the configure script check for tld.h if libidn was detected, since
|
|
|
- libidn 0.3.X didn't have such a header and we don't work with anything
|
|
|
- before libidn 0.4.1 anyway! Suse 9.1 apparently ships with a 0.3.X version
|
|
|
- of libidn which makes the curl 7.12.2 build fail. Jean-Philippe
|
|
|
- Barrette-LaPierre helped pointing this out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ian Gulliver reported in debian bug report #278691: if curl is invoked in an
|
|
|
- environment where stderr is closed the -v output will still be sent to file
|
|
|
- descriptor 2 which then might be the network socket handle! Now we have a
|
|
|
- weird hack instead that attempts to make sure that file descriptor 2 is
|
|
|
- opened (with a call to pipe()) before libcurl is called to do the transfer.
|
|
|
- configure now checks for pipe() and systems without pipe don't get the weird
|
|
|
- hack done.

|
-- Tim Sneddon made libcurl send no more than 64K in a single first chunk when

|
-Daniel (2 November 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added --retry-max-time that allows a maximum time that may not have been

|
|
|
- the amount of retries set with --retry.

-Daniel (27 October 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- An improvement to the gzip handling of libcurl. There were two problems with
|
|
|
- the old version: it was possible for a malicious gzip file to cause libcurl
|
|
|
- to leak memory, as a buffer was malloced to hold the header and never freed
|
|
|
- if the header ended with no file contents. The second problem is that the
|
|
|
- 64 KiB decompression buffer was allocated on the stack, which caused
|
|
|
- unexpectedly high stack usage and overflowed the stack on some systems
|
|
|
- (someone complained about that in the mailing list about a year ago).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Both problems are fixed by this patch. The first one is fixed when a recent
|
|
|
- (1.2) version of zlib is used, as it takes care of gzip header parsing
|
|
|
- itself. A check for the version number is done at run-time and libcurl uses
|
|
|
- that feature if it's present. I've created a define OLD_ZLIB_SUPPORT that
|
|
|
- can be commented out to save some code space if libcurl is guaranteed to be
|
|
|
- using a 1.2 version of zlib.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The second problem is solved by dynamically allocating the memory buffer
|
|
|
- instead of storing it on the stack. The allocation/free is done for every
|
|
|
- incoming packet, which is suboptimal, but should be dwarfed by the actual
|
|
|
- decompression computation.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've also factored out some common code between deflate and gzip to reduce
|
|
|
- the code footprint somewhat. I've tested the gzip code on a few test files
|
|
|
- and I tried deflate using the freshmeat.net server, and it all looks OK. I
|
|
|
- didn't try running it with valgrind, however.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a --retry option to curl that takes a numerical option for the number
|
|
|
- of times the operation should be retried. It is retried if a transient error
|
|
|
- is detected or if a timeout occurred. By default, it will first wait one
|
|
|
- second between the retries and then double the delay time between each retry
|
|
|
- until the delay time is ten minutes which then will be the delay time
|
|
|
- between all forthcoming retries. You can set a static delay time with
|
|
|
- "--retry-delay [num]" where [num] is the number of seconds to wait between
|
|
|
- each retry.

|
|
-- Tomas Pospisek filed bug report #1053287 that proved -C - and --fail on a
|
|
|
- file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it
|
|
|
- doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix.
|
|
|
- Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in
|
|

- you want to move a file on a server or similar.
|
|
|
-
|
|

-- Guillaume Arluison added CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS to allow an app to figure
|
|
|
- out how many new connects a previous transfer required.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I added %{num_connects} to the curl tool and added test case 192 and 193

-- libcurl now uses SO_NOSIGPIPE for systems that support it (Mac OS X 10.2 or

|
|
|
-- Replaced the use of isspace() in cookie.c with our own version instead since
|
|
|
- we have most data as 'char *' and that makes us pass in negative values if
|
|
|
- there is 8bit data in the string. Changing to unsigned causes too much
|
|
|
- warnings or too many required typecasts to the normal string functions.
|
|
|
- Harshal Pradhan identified this problem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 October 2004)
|
|
|
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer found a case where libcurl could read already freed
|
|
|
- data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very) persistent connection. It
|
|
|
- happened when the dns cache entry for the connection was pruned while the
|
|
|
- connection was still alive and then again re-used. We worked together on
|
|
|
- this fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem provided code that displays an error message when the (libidn
|
|
|
- based) IDN conversion fails. This is really due to a missing suitable
|
|
|
- function in the libidn API that I hope we can remove once libidn gets a
|
|
|
- function like this.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (1 October 2004)
|
|
|
-- Aleksandar Milivojevic reported a problem in the Redhat bugzilla (see
|
|
|
- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134133) and not to
|
|
|
- anyone involved in the curl project! This happens when you try to curl a
|
|
|
- file from a proftpd site using SSL. It seems proftpd sends a somewhat
|
|
|
- unorthodox response code (232 instead of 230). I relaxed the response code
|
|
|
- check to deal with this and similar cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on Fedor Karpelevitch's formpost path basename patch, file parts in
|
|
|
- formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you
|
|
|
- must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added detection for libgen.h and basename() to configure. My custom
|
|
|
- basename() replacement function for systems without it, might be a bit too
|
|
|
- naive...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Updated 6 test cases to make them work with the stripped paths.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Larry Campbell added CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to curl_easy_getinfo() that allows an
|
|
|
- app to retrieve the errno variable after a (connect) failure. It will make
|
|
|
- sense to provide this for more failures in a more generic way, but let's
|
|
|
- start like this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf and Casey O'Donnell worked out an extra #if condition for the
|
|
|
- curl/multi.h header to work better in winsock-using apps.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre made buildconf run better on Mac OS X by
|
|
|
- properly using glibtoolize instead of plain libtoolize. (This is made if
|
|
|
- glibtool was found and used instead of plain libtool.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed curl_easy_reset() so that it doesn't mistakingly
|
|
|
- enable the progress meter.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- "Mekonikum" found out that if you built curl without SSL support, although
|
|
|
- your current SSL installation supports Engine, the compile fails.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- When --with-ssl=PATH is used to the configure script, it no longer uses
|
|
|
- pkg-config to figure out extra details. That is now only done if no PATH is
|
|
|
- included or if SSL is checked for by default without the --with-ssl option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester pointed out that CURLOPT_SSLENGINE couldn't even be set to
|
|
|
- NULL when no engine was supported. It can now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich fixed three test cases to no longer use "localhost" but instead
|
|
|
- use "127.0.0.1" to avoid requiring that localhost resolves nicely.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jean-Claude Chauve fixed an LDAP crash when more than one record was
|
|
|
- retrieved.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Andreas Rieke pointed out that when attempting to connect to a host without
|
|
|
- a service on the specified port, curl_easy_perform() didn't properly provide
|
|
|
- an error message in the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER buffer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Daniel at touchtunes uses the FTP+SSL server "BSDFTPD-SSL from
|
|
|
- http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/" which accordingly doesn't properly work with curl
|
|
|
- when "AUTH SSL" is issued (although the server responds fine and everything)
|
|
|
- but requires that curl issues "AUTH TLS" instead. See
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/feedback/display.cgi?id=10951944937603&support=yes
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Introducing CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH that allows the application to select which
|
|
|
- of the AUTH strings to attempt first.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Anonymous filed bug report #1029478 which identified a bug when you 1) used
|
|
|
- a URL without properly seperating the host name and the parameters with a
|
|
|
- slash. 2) the URL had parameters to the right of a ? that contains a slash
|
|
|
- 3) curl was told to follow Location:s 4) the request got a response that
|
|
|
- contained a Location: to redirect to "/dir". curl then appended the new path
|
|
|
- on the wrong position of the original URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Test case 187 was added to verify that this was fixed properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added parsedate.c that contains a rewrite of the date parser currently
|
|
|
- provided by getdate.y. The new one is MUCH smaller and will allow us to run
|
|
|
- away from the yacc/bison jungle. It is also slightly lacking in features
|
|
|
- compared to the old one, but it supports parsing of all date formats HTTP
|
|
|
- involves (and a fair bunch of others).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- As found out by Jonas Forsman, curl didn't allow -F to set Content-Type on
|
|
|
- text-parts. Starting now, we can do -F "name=daniel;type=text/extra". Added
|
|
|
- test case 186 to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #1025986. When following a Location: with a custom Host: header
|
|
|
- replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request
|
|
|
- and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with
|
|
|
- two Host: headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request
|
|
|
- and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another
|
|
|
- host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the
|
|
|
- second Host: header get used in the request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Modified the test suite to be able to use and run with customized port
|
|
|
- numbers. This was always intended but never before possible. Now a simple
|
|
|
- change in the runtests.pl script can make all tests use different ports.
|
|
|
- The default ports in use from now on are 8990 to 8993.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 September 2004)
|
|
|
-- Minor modification of an SSL-related error message.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Tarendash found out that curl_multi_add_handle() returned
|
|
|
- CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM instead of CURLM_OK.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Make "Proxy-Connection: close" close the current proxy connection, as Roman
|
|
|
- Koifman found out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a getdate problem by post-replacing the getdate.c file after the
|
|
|
- bison/yacc process to add the fix Harshal Pradhan suggested. The problem
|
|
|
- caused a crash on Windows when parsing some dates.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Roman Koifman pointed out that libcurl send Expect: 100-continue on POSTs
|
|
|
- even when told to use HTTP 1.0, which is not correct. Test case 180 and
|
|
|
- 181 verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test case 182 to verify that zero byte transfers call the callback
|
|
|
- properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the write callback get called even when a zero
|
|
|
- byte file is downloaded.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Ling Thio pointed out that when libcurl is built IPv6-enabled, it still did
|
|
|
- reverse DNS lookups when fed with a numerical IP-address (like
|
|
|
- http://127.0.0.1/), although it doesn't when built IPv6-disabled. libcurl
|
|
|
- should never do reverse lookups.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Kjetil Jacobsen noticed that when transferring a file:// URL pointing to an
|
|
|
- empty file, libcurl would return with the file still open.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out that the configure script needs to define
|
|
|
- _THREAD_SAFE for AIX systems to make libcurl built really thread-safe.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Also added a check for the xlc compiler on AIX, and if that is detect we use
|
|
|
- the -qthreaded compiler option
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- libcurl now allows a custom "Accept-Encoding:" header override the
|
|
|
- internally set one that gets set with CURLOPT_ENCODING. Pointed out by Alex.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Roland Krikava found and fixed a cookie problem when using a proxy (the
|
|
|
- path matching was wrong). I added test case 179 to verify that we now do
|
|
|
- right.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Casey O'Donnell fixed some MSVC makefile targets to link properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- configure now defines _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 on systems that need it to build
|
|
|
- warning-free (the only known one so far is non-gcc builds on 64bit SGI
|
|
|
- IRIX). (Reverted this change later as it caused compiler errors.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- the FTP code now includes the server response in the error message when the
|
|
|
- server gives back a 530 after the password is provided, as it isn't
|
|
|
- necessary because of a bad user name or password.

|
|
-Daniel (10 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- In OpenSSL 0.9.7d and earlier, ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8 fails if the input is
|
|
|
- already UTF-8 encoded. This made the certificate verification fail if the
|
|
|
- remote server used a certificate with the name UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Work-around brought by Alexis S. L. Carvalho.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- I fixed the configure script for krb4 to use -lcom_err as well, as I started
|
|
|
- to get link problems with it unless I did that on my Solaris 2.7 box. I
|
|
|
- don't understand why I started to get problems with this now!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Enrico Scholz fixed the HTTP-Negotiate service name to be uppercase as
|
|
|
- reported in bug report #1004105
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 August 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem provided a fix for the multi interface and connecting to a host
|
|
|
- using multiple IP (bad) addresses.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dylan Salisbury made libcurl no longer accept cookies set to a TLD only (it
|
|
|
- previously allowed that on the seven three-letter domains).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Joel Chen reported that the digest code assumed quotes around the contents a
|
|
|
- bit too much.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed the host name to get setup properly even when a
|
|
|
- connection is re-used, when a proxy is in use. Previously the wrong Host:
|
|
|
- header could get sent when re-using a proxy connection to a different target
|
|
|
- host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed Brian Akins' reported problems with duplicate Host: headers on re-used
|
|
|
- connections. If you attempted to replace the Host: header in the second
|
|
|
- request, you got two such headers!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- src/Makefile.am now includes the Makefile.inc file to get info about files
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made "curl [URL] -o name#2" work as expected. If there's no globbing for the
|
|
|
- #-number, it will simply be used as #2 in the file name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed testing with valgrind 2.1.x and added two missing
|
|
|
- newlines in the cookie informationals.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- I fixed the autobuilds with ares, since they now need to have buildconf run
|
|
|
- in the ares dir before the configure script is run.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added Casey O'Donnell's curl_easy_reset() function. It has a proto in
|
|
|
- curl/curl.h but we have no man page yet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added buildconf and buildconf.bat to the release archives, since they are
|
|
|
- handy for rebuilding curl when using a daily snapshot (and not a pure CVS
|
|
|
- checkout).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- As suggested by Toby Peterson, libcurl now ignores Content-Length data if the
|
|
|
- given size is a negative number. Test case 178 verifies this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf has made the Netware builds do without the config-netware.h
|
|
|
- files, so they are now removed from the dist packages.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf made curl and libcurl build with Borland again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andres Garcia fixed the common test 505 failures on windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García found out why the windows tests failed on file:// "uploads".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García reported a curl_share_cleanup() crash that occurs when no
|
|
|
- lock/unlock callbacks have been set and the share is cleaned up.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 July 2004)
|
|
|
-- When using curl --trace or --trace-ascii, no trace messages that were sent
|
|
|
- by curl_easy_cleanup() were included in the trace file. This made the
|
|
|
- message "Closing connection #0" never appear in trace dumps.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Niels van Tongeren found that setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE doesn't disable
|
|
|
- a previously set POST request, making a very odd request get sent (unless
|
|
|
- you disabled the POST) a HEAD request with a POST request-body. I've now
|
|
|
- made CURLOPT_NOBODY enforce a proper HEAD. Added test case 514 for this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf made the testcurl.pl script capable of using a custom setup
|
|
|
- file to easier run multiple autobuilds on the same source tree.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle fixed the djgpp build and fixed a memory problem in some of the
|
|
|
- reorged name resolved code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed code to allow connects done using the multi interface to attempt the
|
|
|
- next IP when connecting to a host that resolves to multiple IPs and a
|
|
|
- connect attempt fails.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Based on Rob Stanzel's bug report #979480, I wrote a configure check that
|
|
|
- checks if poll() can be used to wait on NULL as otherwise select() should be
|
|
|
- used to do it. The select() usage was also fixed according to his report.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an
|
|
|
- emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is
|
|
|
- recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over
|
|
|
- poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead
|
|
|
- of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not
|
|
|
- implemented in the kernel."
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to
|
|
|
- leave the code unaltered.

|
|
-Daniel (24 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about
|
|
|
- involved libraries and not about particular features. Thus it will no longer
|
|
|
- include info about IPv6 nor GSS. That info is of course still available in
|
|
|
- the feature bitmask curl_version_info() offers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Replaced all occurances of sprintf() with snprintf(). This is mostly because
|
|
|
- it is "A Good Thing" rather than actually fixing any known problem. This
|
|
|
- will help preventing future possible mistakes to cause buffer overflows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've
|
|
|
- modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs
|
|
|
- to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that
|
|
|
- is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that
|
|
|
- uses or depends on resolved data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird
|
|
|
- "increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on
|
|
|
- IPv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built
|
|
|
- with IPv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an IPv4
|
|
|
- address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create
|
|
|
- Curl_addrinfo chains instead).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai()
|
|
|
- and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to
|
|
|
- work for libcurl.

-Daniel (22 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to
|
|
|
- contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit
|
|
|
- to 4999 now and made the used buffer get malloc()ed instead of simply
|
|
|
- allocated on stack as before. Extended test case 46 to include a cookie with
|
|
|
- very huge content to verify the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf fixed getdate.y to remove a few warnings. I removed the
|
|
|
- ifdef'ed test we never ever use anyway.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem fixed the certificate wildcard checks to support a '*'-letter
|
|
|
- anywhere in the wildcard string, support multiple '*'-letters in the

-- Kjetil Jacobsen brought my attention to the fact that you cannot properly
|
|
|
- abort an upload with the readfunction callback, since returning 0 or -1 only

|
|
|
- Thus, I've now added the ability for read callbacks to return
|
|
|
- CURL_READFUNC_ABORT to abort an upload from a read callback. This will stop
|
|
|
- the transfer immediately with a CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK return code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Test case 513 was added to verify that it works. I had to improve the test
|
|
|
- HTTP server too to dump the request to a file even when the client
|
|
|
- disconnects prematurely.

|
|
|
-- Luca Alteas provided a test case with a failing curl operation: when we POST
|
|
|
- to a site with --digest (or similar) set, and the server responded with a 302
|
|
|
- Location: to the "authprobe" request, it was not treated correctly. We still
|
|
|
- will behave badly if FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled for this case, but I'm not
|
|
|
- in the mood to dive into this right now and will leave it as-is for now.
|
|
|
- Verified my fix with test case 177.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem's patch that provides more details from the SSL layers (if you
|
|
|
- use an OpenSSL version that supports it). It also introduces two new types
|
|
|
- of data that can be sent to the debug callback: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- With David Byron's test server I could repeat his problem and make sure that
|
|
|
- POSTing over HTTPS:// with NTLM works fine now. There was a general problem
|
|
|
- with multi-pass authentication with non-GET operations with CONNECT.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Modified to keep the upload byte counter in an curl_off_t, not an int as
|
|
|
- before. 32bits is not enough. This is most likely the bug Jean-Louis Lemaire
|
|
|
- reported that makes 2GB FTP uploads to report error ("unaligned file sizes")
|
|
|
- when completed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with
|
|
|
- CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication,
|
|
|
- libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was
|
|
|
- actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174,
|
|
|
- 175 and 176 to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves
|
|
|
- into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is
|
|
|
- larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on
|
|
|
- stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the
|
|
|
- upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the
|
|
|
- behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know
|
|
|
- the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on
|
|
|
- HTTP 1.1 servers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts
|
|
|
- of the check wrongly was case sensitive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS
|
|
|
- machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able
|
|
|
- to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect
|
|
|
- timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to
|
|
|
- multiple IP addresses.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the
|
|
|
- path after a file:// transfer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl
|
|
|
- without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case
|
|
|
- libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated
|
|
|
- curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib
|
|
|
- file generated as it used to do before we generated this file.
|
|
|

|
|
-Daniel (8 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work.
|
|
|
- Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Günter Knauf brought patches to make curl build fine on NetWare again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script
|
|
|
- when built for cross-compiling.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even
|
|
|
- if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message
|
|
|
- instead, saying it isn't possible to do.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl.
|
|
|
- You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using
|
|
|
- FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with:
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_PASV_HOST
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man
|
|
|
- page.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you
|
|
|
- specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a
|
|
|
- new example source code showing how to use this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and
|
|
|
- password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host
|
|
|
- user name and password!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which
|
|
|
- fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the
|
|
|
- differences are.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.12.0 (2 June 2004)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 June 2004)
|
|
|
-- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile
|
|
|
- changes to now again use the mm lib by default.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl
|
|
|
- Makefile
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT,
|
|
|
- like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I
|
|
|
- rewrote the auth stuff recently.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a
|
|
|
- file:// URL is made.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were
|
|
|
- added to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to
|
|
|
- Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn
|
|
|
- 0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could
|
|
|
- not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that
|
|
|
- were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed
|
|
|
- and test case 171 verifies it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was
|
|
|
- wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of
|
|
|
- curl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate
|
|
|
- name verification:
|
|
|
- o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name
|
|
|
- needs to be selected.
|
|
|
- o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1
|
|
|
- encoded T61strings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is
|
|
|
- now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through
|
|
|
- with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've
|
|
|
- decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the
|
|
|
- CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case
|
|
|
- 100 fails because of an FTP server problem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory
|
|
|
- function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test
|
|
|
- cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() -
|
|
|
- like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory
|
|
|
- functions with its own set. I modified it slightly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a
|
|
|
- separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the
|
|
|
- same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this
|
|
|
- will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon
|
|
|
- releases one with such a libidn_free() function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I
|
|
|
- edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to
|
|
|
- recognize our own running HTTP server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to
|
|
|
- free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display-
|
|
|
- name instead of the internally-used name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem tried curl with
|
|
|
- www.etdomenenavnkanmaksimaltinneholdesekstitrebokstaversliksomdette.com
|
|
|
- which caused problems, and I fixed the single zero byte buffer overwrite
|
|
|
- that occurred (due to a stupid protocol buffer size and parser).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the lib/curllib.dsp file get generated automaticly when a distribution
|
|
|
- package is made, with the msvcproj.* files as templates and all
|
|
|
- win32-sources added. I think this can be made to work better than the always
|
|
|
- lagging-behind previous approach. I'm not sure this builds a working project
|
|
|
- file right now though!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Michael Benedict brought a fix that fills in the errorbuffer properly when
|
|
|
- ares fails to resolve a name for a case not previously dealt with like this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Joe Halpin fixed the annoying typecast warning in lib/ldap.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem fixes:
|
|
|
- o memdebug to not access NULL on several places
|
|
|
- o libcurl.def; curl_formparse is gone.
|
|
|
- o progress.c; fixed the percent values being trunced to 0.
|
|
|
- o if2ip.*; constified the 'interface' argument.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen reported that many of his autobuilds froze and I found and fixed
|
|
|
- a problem introduced with the HTTP auth overhaul that could lead to a
|
|
|
- never-ending internal request-loop due to un-initialized variables!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed several compiler warnings on various compilers/platforms.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- curl_formparse() has been removed from the library. It has been marked and
|
|
|
- mentioned as deprecated for several years.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 May 2004)
|
|
|
-- Rewritten HTTP authentication code. The previous code could not properly
|
|
|
- deal with the added test cases 167, 168 and 169. I've now rewritten the code
|
|
|
- to better separate host and proxy authentication and not re-use the same
|
|
|
- variables as much as before as it proved non working in the more involved
|
|
|
- cases. All the current tests run OK now, and so do the new ones. The curl
|
|
|
- tool got a new option named --proxy-digest to enable HTTP Digest
|
|
|
- authentication with the proxy. I also made the library support it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made the LDAP code work with wldap32.dll as supplied with
|
|
|
- Win-98/ME/2000/XP, so no extra .dlls are required when curl/libcurl is used
|
|
|
- on these Windows versions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- runtests.pl now scans the valgrind log for valgrind-detected memory leaks
|
|
|
- after each test case if valgrind was found and used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I modified the app-code in curl to include the new lib/curlx.h and only
|
|
|
- access those functions using the curlx_-prefix in preparation for the future
|
|
|
- removal of several curl_-functions from the public libcurl API.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Introduced lib/curlx.h as a single header to provide the curlx_-functions
|
|
|
- to apps.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added notices in the man pages for curl_getenv, curl_mprintf, curl_strequal
|
|
|
- and curl_strnequal that they are subject for removal in a future release.
|
|
|
- STOP USING THESE FUNCTIONS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Mihai Ionescu noticed he couldn't do formposts with whitespace in the file
|
|
|
- names and yes, I broke that on April 23. Sigh. I fixed it now and added
|
|
|
- test case 166 to verify it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Luca Altea pointed out a mistake left from the Digest patch of yesterday.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made IDN domains work when sending requsts over HTTP proxy as well. Added
|
|
|
- test case 165 to verify the functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a bug in the new internal host name setup when re-using connections.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- James Bursa found out that curl_easy_duphandle() with ares-built libcurl
|
|
|
- created a bad handle that would crash in the first name resolve attempt. This
|
|
|
- is now fixed and test case 512 was added to verify it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Luca Altea provided a major HTTP Digest code fix and cleanup. We now follow
|
|
|
- the Digest RFC a lot better.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made the SSL code use ERR_error_string_n() where applicable.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- I remodeled Gisle's IDN code slightly and now we convert both the host name
|
|
|
- and proxy name to the ACE encoded version to use internally for resolves and
|
|
|
- cookies etc. They are now using one 'struct hostname' each that keep both
|
|
|
- the original name and the possibly encoded name. IDN resolves work for me
|
|
|
- now using IPv6, IPv4 and ares resolving. Even cookies on IDN sites seem to
|
|
|
- do right. I got some failures at first when CHARSET wasn't set at all which
|
|
|
- confused libidn completely and it decided by encoding of choice was
|
|
|
- 'ANSI_X3.4-1968'...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- made 'configure --without-libidn' work
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the src/hugehelp.c file to include "setup.h" instead of "config.h" to
|
|
|
- make the problems with USE_MANUAL on windows go away.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- configure --without-ssl could still wrongly include some OpenSSL info in the
|
|
|
- Makefiles if pkg-config had info about OpenSSL. Bug #941762 reported by
|
|
|
- Martin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Since we can now build and use quite a large set of 3rd party libraries, I
|
|
|
- decided I would make configure produce a summary at the end showing what
|
|
|
- libraries it uses and if not, what option to use to make it use that. I also
|
|
|
- added some other random info that is nice in a "configure summary" output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied TommyTam's patch that now make curl work with telnet and stdin
|
|
|
- properly on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The changes for today below were made by me and Gisle Vanem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The file previously known as hostip.c has now undergone a huge cleanup and
|
|
|
- split:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- hostip.c explained
|
|
|
- ==================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the host*.c
|
|
|
- source file are these:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
|
|
|
- that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
|
|
|
- take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
|
|
|
- defined.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous
|
|
|
- name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as
|
|
|
- c-ares has no IPv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
|
|
|
- Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
|
|
|
- supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
|
|
|
- libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
|
|
|
- defined.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The host*.c sources files are split up like this:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
|
|
|
- hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
|
|
|
- hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
|
|
|
- hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
|
|
|
- hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
|
|
|
- hostip4.c - IPv4 specific functions
|
|
|
- hostip6.c - IPv6 specific functions
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the
|
|
|
- CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and setup.h defines.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added function header comments to many functions in an attempt to better
|
|
|
- explain the purpose of them all.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- configure --with-libidn is now supported. It makes the configure script
|
|
|
- check for libidn libs and include files in the prefix path given. If you
|
|
|
- say --with-libidn=/usr/local, it will check for the lib in /usr/local/lib
|
|
|
- and the includes in /usr/local/include etc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl_version_info() now returns a struct aged CURLVERSION_THIRD including
|
|
|
- libidn version info. The string curl_version() returns also includes libidn
|
|
|
- version info, if available.

|
-Daniel (25 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Erwin Authried pointed out that configure --disable-manual didn't do right
|
|
|
- if you already had a src/hugehelp.c source file present (which most people
|
|
|
- do I guess). It now uses the USE_MANUAL define properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem found and fixed a memory leak when doing (failing) Windows
|
|
|
- threaded name resolves.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I also added test case 163 just to make sure -F "var=<file" works fine and
|
|
|
- can pass on characters such as newlines, carriage-return and tabs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When we added test case 162 without adding the necessary requirement field
|
|
|
- in the test meta data we could see that curl didn't complain if you used
|
|
|
- --proxy-ntlm even if the underlying libcurl it uses has no NTLM support! I
|
|
|
- now made it check this first, and it now exists with a "the installed
|
|
|
- libcurl version doesn't support this" message if it happens again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron found and fixed a small bug with the --fail and authentication
|
|
|
- stuff added a few weeks ago. Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and
|
|
|
- communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy
|
|
|
- properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it
|
|
|
- should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 added to
|
|
|
- verify the functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- allow newlines in the contents when doing -F "var=[contents]"
|
|
|
- Robert Marlow reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- If a transfer is found out to be only partial, libcurl will now treat that
|
|
|
- as a problem serious enough to skip the final QUIT command before closing
|
|
|
- the control connection. To avoid the risk that it will "hang" waiting for
|
|
|
- the QUIT response. Added test case 161 to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Modified the heuristics for dealing with the test 160 scenario. When a
|
|
|
- connection is re-used and nothing at all is received from it (because the
|
|
|
- server closes the connection), we will now retry the request on a fresh new
|
|
|
- connection. The previous ECONNRESET stuff from January 30 was removed again
|
|
|
- as it didn't detect the situation good enough.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 160 to verify that curl works correctly when it gets a
|
|
|
- connection reset when trying to re-use a connection. It should then simply
|
|
|
- create a new connection and resend the request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- No more 512 byte limit for host name (inclusing name + password) in libcurl.
|
|
|
- An added bonus is that we use less memory for the typical (shorter URL)
|
|
|
- case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Cleaned up the sources to better use the terms 'hostname' and 'path'
|
|
|
- internally when referring to that data. The buffers used for keep that info
|
|
|
- is called 'namebuffer' and 'pathbuffer'. Much easier to read and understand
|
|
|
- than the previous mess.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Modified runtests.pl again to remove all log files in the log/ dir between
|
|
|
- each test, and then made -p display all non-zero byte files in the log dir.
|
|
|
- It should make that data more usable and contain less rubbish.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- ftpserver.pl now produces log files more similar to how the sws ones look
|
|
|
- and they now also contains a bit more details to help debugging ftp
|
|
|
- problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed the fixed maximum amount of dir levels the FTP code supported.
|
|
|
- Previously we had a fixed array for 100 levels, now we save space in each
|
|
|
- handle by allocating only for a few level by default and then enlarging that
|
|
|
- in case of need (with no maximum depth). Adjusted test case 142 to verify
|
|
|
- that 150 dir levels work fine. An added bonus is that we use less memory
|
|
|
- for the typical (not very deep) case.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Asking for CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 when IPv6 addresses can't be resolved will
|
|
|
- now cause the resolve function to return NULL immediately. This flaw was
|
|
|
- pointed out by Gisle Vanem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made curl -4/-6 actually set the desired option to libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- runtests.pl now has a new option (-p) that will display "interesting" log
|
|
|
- files to stdout in case of a test failure. This is primarily intended to be
|
|
|
- used in the 'full-test' make target that is used by the autobuild tests, as
|
|
|
- we then get a much better chance to understand (remote) test failures based
|
|
|
- on autobuild logs alone.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made the multi interface work again on Windows even when built
|
|
|
- without ares. Before this, select() would return -1 during the name resolve
|
|
|
- phase since curl_multi_fdset() didn't return any fd_set at all which wasn't
|
|
|
- appreciated!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl_easy_duphandle() now duplicates the tcp_nodelay info as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Applied David Byron's patch for the MSVC libcurl makefile for builds with
|
|
|
- zlib.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske improved the timer resolution for CURLINFO_*_TIME, it can now
|
|
|
- be down to usec if the system sypports it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- A request that sends "Expect: 100-continue" and gets nothing but a single
|
|
|
- 100 response back will now return a CURLE_GOT_NOTHING. Test 158 verifies.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The strtoofft() macro is now named curlx_strtoofft() to use the curlx_*
|
|
|
- approach fully.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem's fixed bug #927979 reported by Nathan O'Sullivan. The problem
|
|
|
- made libcurl on Windows leak a small amount of memory in each name resolve
|
|
|
- when not used as a DLL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- New authentication code added, particularly noticable when doing POST or PUT
|
|
|
- with Digest or NTLM. libcurl will now use HEAD to negotiate the
|
|
|
- authentication and when done perform the requested POST. Previously libcurl
|
|
|
- sent POST immediately and expected the server to reply a final status code
|
|
|
- with an error and then libcurl would not send the request-body but instead
|
|
|
- send then next request in the sequence.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The reason for this change is due to IIS6 barfing on libcurl when we attempt
|
|
|
- to POST with NTLM authentication. The reason for the problems is found in
|
|
|
- RFC2616 section 8.2.3 regarding how servers should deal with the 100
|
|
|
- continue request-header:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If it responds with a final status code, it MAY close the transport
|
|
|
- connection or it MAY continue to read and discard the rest of the
|
|
|
- request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Previous versions of IIS clearly did close the connection in this case,
|
|
|
- while this newer version decided it should "read and discard". That would've
|
|
|
- forced us to send the whole POST (or PUT) data only to have it discarded and
|
|
|
- then be forced to send it again. To avoid that huge penality, we switch to
|
|
|
- using HEAD until we are authenticated and then send the POST.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The only actual drawback I can think of (except for the odd sites that might
|
|
|
- treat HEAD differently than they would treat POST/PUT when given the same
|
|
|
- URL) is that if you do POST with CURLAUTH_ANY set and the site requires NO
|
|
|
- authentication, libcurl will still use a HEAD in a first round and then do a
|
|
|
- POST.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If you do a HEAD or a GET on a site using CURLAUTH_ANY, libcurl will send
|
|
|
- an un-authenticated request at once, which then is the only request if the
|
|
|
- site requires no auth.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Alan Pinstein helped me work out the protocol details by figuring out why
|
|
|
- libcurl failed and what IIS6 expects.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The --limit-rate logic was corrected and now it works a lot better for
|
|
|
- higher speeds, such as '10m' or similar. Reported in bug report #930249.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Introducing curlx_tvnow() and curlx_tvdiff() using the new curlx_* fashion.
|
|
|
- #include "timeval.h" from the lib dir to get the protos etc. Note that
|
|
|
- these are NOT part of the libcurl API. The curl app simply uses the same
|
|
|
- source files as the library does and therefore the file needs to be compiled
|
|
|
- and linked with curl too, not just when creating libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it
|
|
|
- isn't portable enough
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file
|
|
|
- name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that
|
|
|
- broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a
|
|
|
- mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter
|
|
|
- that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 April 2004)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name
|
|
|
- resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the
|
|
|
- brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of
|
|
|
- the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old
|
|
|
- c-ares library.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too
|
|
|
- easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe
|
|
|
- Mitz Wark's problems are fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a
|
|
|
- flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is
|
|
|
- provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always
|
|
|
- used as user name).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage.

-Daniel (30 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the
|
|
|
- particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel. I've now
|
|
|
- written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID
|
|
|
- implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still
|
|
|
- experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug
|
|
|
- (5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file."
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems
|
|
|
- to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the
|
|
|
- response header).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name
|
|
|
- lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get
|
|
|
- completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely
|
|
|
- even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151
|

-Daniel (15 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Lots of libcurl man pages were updated to contain references to other man
|
|
|
- pages the recognized way so that they appear as nice hyperlinks in the HTML
|
|
|
- versions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- buildconf now checks the m4 version too, since autoconf requires a GNU m4
|
|
|
- version to build proper configure scripts.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, the large file version of
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to allow POSTs larger than 2GB.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron fixed an uninitialized variable case/crash.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Jeff Lawson fixed the SSL connection to deal with received signals during the
|
|
|
- connect.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Changed the OS string for win32 to become "i386-pc-win32".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Changed the internals to use curl_socket_t for socket variable type. This
|
|
|
- should enable us to build with less warnings on Windows, where SOCKET is
|
|
|
- used which is an unsigned int, while most other platforms use a mere int.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Modified lib/config-win32.h to build fine on MSVC again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.11.1-pre1 (8 March 2004)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Minor fix to make curl CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE is only set if curl_off_t is
|
|
|
- larger than 4 bytes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Improved PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication, the so called issue 12.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Modified the test HTTP server a lot to work with the upcoming changes for
|
|
|
- PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication (like test case 88). Added Andrés
|
|
|
- García's win32-changes. Improved the logging.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the file:-related progress/getinfo stuff a bit more.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- I corrected a problem with the multi interface when following a Location:
|
|
|
- header or when doing multiple-request authentications. A subsequent request
|
|
|
- could erroneously re-use a previous connection that was sent with
|
|
|
- Connection: close. Christopher R. Palmer reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García patched curl to prevent warnings while compiling with mingw,
|
|
|
- mainly because it is now possible to have both WIN32 and HAVE_CONFIG_H
|
|
|
- defined.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When transferring files from a file: URL, the progress meter and other
|
|
|
- transfer metrics were not updated properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron provided a "version resource" file to the curl executable for
|
|
|
- the windows builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron's work on making libcurl only require winsock 1.1 on Windows
|
|
|
- machines.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- More variable cleanups based on compiler warnings generated by Tor Arntsen's
|
|
|
- autobuilds with MIPSPro.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Joe Halpin helped us fix some pedantic compiler warnings on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied Tom Bates' patch to build on nsr-tandem-nsk.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich corrected some flaws in the configure GSS detection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the libcurl code to use FORMAT_OFF_T for printf() formatting
|
|
|
- curl_off_t types internally.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 March 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE as a feature-bit in the curl_version_info()
|
|
|
- response, that signals if this libcurl supports >2GB files. curl -V now
|
|
|
- outputs 'Largefile' in the Features: field if this is the case. Most systems
|
|
|
- are likely to support this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- We offer a CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T define in the public header, which can be used
|
|
|
- to printf() curl_off_t variables. We also modified the libcurl sources to
|
|
|
- use this define instead of the previous %Od approach (although I've left the
|
|
|
- O-flag functional in the code). This should also prevent compilers to warn
|
|
|
- on the home-grown option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the resume-check code to test for a working resume at the end of the
|
|
|
- headers and not at the first body-byte.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is now considered obsolete. Stop using it. If
|
|
|
- you need a global DNS cache for whatever reason, use the share interface and
|
|
|
- you'll get a global cache that works the way it should work. You can even
|
|
|
- have any number of global caches, all at your command. This is now also
|
|
|
- mentioned in the docs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the *printf code support the z-flag to enable size_t printf() in a
|
|
|
- manner similar to how glibc allows it. To make printfing of this work on
|
|
|
- platforms with 64bit size_t and 32bit ints. If there even are any! ;-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Christopher R. Palmer discovered that if you CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and
|
|
|
- CURLAUTH_NTLM (or CURLAUTH_ANY and libcurl then picked NTLM), libcurl would
|
|
|
- loop without succeeding to authenticate due to the new connection that was
|
|
|
- made for all round-trips in the authentication. Now, the FRESH_CONNECT is
|
|
|
- remade to only matter for the first connection made with curl_easy_perform()
|
|
|
- and all the rest that might follow due to FOLLOWLOCATION or HTTP
|
|
|
- authentication are now ignoring that option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted the QUIT code slightly since it could core-dump.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Corrected the test suite's FTP server to provide a correct size to the
|
|
|
- 'verifiedserver' request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Joe Halpin made the FTP code send QUIT on the control connection before
|
|
|
- disconnecting the TCP connection. This is what good-behaving ftp clients
|
|
|
- should do.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron updated several files to make curl build fine on MSVC 6. He
|
|
|
- also added the 'buildconf.bat' that works like the 'buildconf + configure'
|
|
|
- combo does on unixes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made the memdebug stuff support calloc() as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen pointed out that testcurl.sh needed to remove the generated
|
|
|
- files in order to have them re-generated in each build.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andy Serpa found out that the share interface did not enjoy life when not
|
|
|
- having the lock and unlock callbacks set, even though documented to be
|
|
|
- OK. It still is OK, and now the code won't segfault anymore!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Based on a patch by Greg Hewgill I modified how long long is used in the
|
|
|
- mprintf code, as we can use a 64bit type with MSVC that is a long long
|
|
|
- equivalent. This corrects some weird large file behaviors on windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen helped me work out --enable-debug to work better with different
|
|
|
- versions of the gcc and icc compilers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_SHARE to the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Applied the final pieces of Gisle Vanem's patch that brings a working name
|
|
|
- resolve timeout to the windows versions of curl!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron's fix to allow the speed-limit logic work even if you set
|
|
|
- limit-rate. It does work on the expense of the rate limiter.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler
|
|
|
- (which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc
|
|
|
- options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I
|
|
|
- option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib,
|
|
|
- Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have
|
|
|
- control of.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the
|
|
|
- getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc
|
|
|
- version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the
|
|
|
- particular version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use
|
|
|
- the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the
|
|
|
- curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code,
|
|
|
- but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here:

|
|
|
-Daniel (18 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been
|
|
|
- referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better
|
|
|
- track memory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init()
|
|
|
- and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It
|
|
|
- improves performance.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for IPv6-enabled libcurls and
|
|
|
- re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a
|
|
|
- cached entry was used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was
|
|
|
- applied.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a
|
|
|
- specific network interface.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big
|
|
|
- enough to hold a large file!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp
|
|
|
- department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code
|
|
|
- too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers
|
|
|
- warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built
|
|
|
- outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done
|
|
|
- by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff
|
|
|
- to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in
|
|
|
- manual.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from
|
|
|
- the curl command tool.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now
|
|
|
- he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler
|
|
|
- "Accept: */*".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man
|
|
|
- pages that were previously missing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the
|
|
|
- AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on
|
|
|
- IPv6-enabled AIX builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now
|
|
|
- it runs on windows with GTK as well!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run
|
|
|
- with mingw on windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Modified the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of
|
|
|
- mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler
|
|
|
- warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by
|
|
|
- following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related
|
|
|
- define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found.
|
|
|
- If one is missing, none of the defines is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without
|
|
|
- doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable
|
|
|
- the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98
|
|
|
- verifies this functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing
|
|
|
- the IPv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error
|
|
|
- messages when bailing out in the that function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen now provides AIX and IRIX (using gcc, xlc and the MIPSPro
|
|
|
- compilers) automated build logs (https://curl.haxx.se/auto/) and we've fixed
|
|
|
- numerous minor quirks to make less warnings appear.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Based on a patch by Gilad, we now use the custom timeouts when waiting for a
|
|
|
- server to connect when using FTP PORT. Previously we always waited 10
|
|
|
- seconds, no more no less. We now also changed the default (if no timeout is
|
|
|
- set) to wait 60 seconds for the connect before we fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Modified to link with c-ares instead of ares.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 February 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added a configure test to check for which option the (g)nroff tool wants
|
|
|
- to extract plain text from the man pages. Tor Arntsen told us the AIX
|
|
|
- version of GNU gnroff doesn't support -man!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added an undef of accept in memdebug.h to make curl build with --enable-debug
|
|
|
- on AIX 5.2 which seems to have accept defined. Reported by Tor Arntsen.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl_version() now includes c-ares version info, and curl_version_info() now
|
|
|
- returns a struct with version SECOND that also includes that info.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the
|
|
|
- new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly
|
|
|
- modified API.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error
|
|
|
- string when we fail to resolve a name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a
|
|
|
- connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That
|
|
|
- makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must
|
|
|
- not complain on the fact that no data was received.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to
|
|
|
- feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds,
|
|
|
- but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them
|
|
|
- is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir
|
|
|
- before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header
|
|
|
- replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out
|
|
|
- by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the
|
|
|
- server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request
|
|
|
- without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET.
|
|
|
- Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a
|
|
|
- fresh connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a
|
|
|
- read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a
|
|
|
- SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a
|
|
|
- while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for
|
|
|
- IPv6-enabled libcurls.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
|
|
|
- checking the define if its present...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating
|
|
|
- system.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler
|
|
|
- options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to
|
|
|
- avoid them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking
|
|
|
- sockets properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final
|
|
|
- CRLF combo properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on
|
|
|
- as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display
|
|
|
- properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a
|
|
|
- required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with
|
|
|
- ../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided
|
|
|
- libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar
|
|
|
- where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps
|
|
|
- we'll just make this function available in the library...
|

|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw
|
|
|
- compiler.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost
|
|
|
- is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another
|
|
|
- name space pollution.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide
|
|
|
- large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use
|
|
|
- this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large
|
|
|
- file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the
|
|
|
- size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t.

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They
|
|
|
- have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any
|
|
|
- problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects
|
|
|
- this name space pollution.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also
|
|
|
- arguments in a config file without a required parameter!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables
|
|
|
- possibly being used unassigned.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Minor Interix build problem fixed.
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (13 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support
|
|
|
- backspace.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and
|
|
|
- an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can
|
|
|
- build curl with the compressed version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a
|
|
|
- SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the
|
|
|
- Borland lib/Makefile.b32.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are
|
|
|
- compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so
|
|
|
- that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to
|
|
|
- make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL
|
|
|
- even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a
|
|
|
- "follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it
|
|
|
- retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe
|
|
|
- the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts.

|
|
-Daniel (8 January 2004)

|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was
|
|
|
- applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- INFILESIZE_LARGE
|
|
|
- RESUME_FROM_LARGE
|
|
|
- MAXFILESIZE_LARGE
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 January 2004)
|
|
|
-- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of
|
|
|
- gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same
|
|
|
- function in other libs (like ares for example).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
|
|
|
- on win32.
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 December)
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE was not possible to set.

|
|
-- John McGowan reported a redirect-problem that happened if a site used a URL
|
|
|
- like "url.com?var=content" (without a proper slash) and from that address
|
|
|
- redirected the user-agent to an absolute directory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron made libcurl build fine with both the .NET and VC6 versions of
|
|
|
- MSVC
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 December)
|
|
|
-- Updated test 506 since it started to fail after the cache prune change
|
|
|
- yesterday. I also changed it slightly to feature a counter in each debug
|
|
|
- output for easier tracing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 December)
|
|
|
-- Old DNS cache entries are now only pruned after curl is done with a request,
|
|
|
- and not in the actual name resolve call.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- corrected the --enable-ares patch
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Giuseppe Attardi found and fixed a problem within libcurl that re-used
|
|
|
- already freed memory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 December)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem reported that the dict support was broken. I broke it during my
|
|
|
- ftps-changes overhaul. I've now added a 'curlassert' function that can be
|
|
|
- used to verify expressions, to prevent future errors of the same
|
|
|
- kind. They're only present in debug-builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Diego Casorran made curl and libcurl possible to build natively (no more
|
|
|
- need for the ixemul library) on AmigaOS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dominick Meglio made configure --enable-ares support a given path to the
|
|
|
- installed ares lib, instead of always using it in the curl source tree.
|
|
|
- This also fixed the curl-config --libs output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Eric S. Raymond patched a very minor man page format error in
|
|
|
- libcurl-errors.3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 December)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the flaw that made -lz appear twice on the link command line.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- After correspondence with Gisle Vanem, I changed the 'connection aborted'
|
|
|
- error text when the FTP response reader failed to more specificly identify
|
|
|
- what the problem is.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on a patch from Dominick Meglio, curl-config --feature now outputs
|
|
|
- 'AsynchDNS' as a feature if libcurl was built with ares. The feature name
|
|
|
- is the same that 'curl -V' outputs, for simplicity.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 December)
|
|
|
-- Marty Kuhrt made the build up-to-date on VMS, and moved most of the VMS-
|
|
|
- specific stuff in the client code to a separate header file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Steve Green fixed a return code bug in Curl_resolv(), that made the socks5
|
|
|
- code fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- swalkaus at yahoo.com patched libcurl to ignore Content-Length: headers
|
|
|
- when Transfer-Encoding: chunked is used, as mandated by RFC2616.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 December)
|
|
|
-- --ftp-pasv was added, which serves the only purpose of overriding a
|
|
|
- previously set --ftpport option. Starting now, --ftp-port is a recognized
|
|
|
- alias for --ftpport for consistency.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Giuseppe Attardi pointed out that we should use MSG_NOSIGNAL when we use
|
|
|
- send() and recv(). I added checks for the define in the configure script and
|
|
|
- adjusted the code accordingly. If the symbol is present, we won't attempt
|
|
|
- to ignore the SIGPIPE signal.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 December)
|
|
|
-- Mathias Axelsson set up a bsdftpd-ssl server for me and I could make curl
|
|
|
- run fine against its FTPS implementation. Now these FTPS-related things
|
|
|
- work:
|
|
|
- o explicit and implicit FTPS
|
|
|
- o active (PORT) and passive (PASV)
|
|
|
- o upload and download
|
|
|
- o verified against bsdftpd-ssl and RaidenFTPD
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 November)
|
|
|
-- James Clancy made the Borland Makefiles up to date.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Markus Moeller improved the SPNEGO detection in the configure script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 November)
|
|
|
-- Dave May filed bug report #848371, identifying that if you'd do POST over a
|
|
|
- proxy to a https server, libcurl didn't POST at all, it just made a GET! It
|
|
|
- turned out to be because libcurl wrongly didn't consider the authentication
|
|
|
- "negotiation phase" to be complete yet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I added test case 95 to verify my fix for this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 November)
|
|
|
-- Thanks to Mathias Axelsson, I've been able to work on FTPS for libcurl and it
|
|
|
- seems to work somewhat fine now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The FTPS stuff is based on RFC2228 and the murray-auth-ftp-ssl draft
|
|
|
- (version 12). There seems to exist quite a few servers that have implemented
|
|
|
- the server side of this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- We can now use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL for the control
|
|
|
- connection and the data connection (dealing with two SSL connections forced
|
|
|
- me to change a lot of stuff in libcurl).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Alternatively, and what seems to be the recommended way, we can set the new
|
|
|
- option CURLOPT_FTP_SSL to one of these values:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLFTPSSL_NOPE, - do not attempt to use SSL
|
|
|
- CURLFTPSSL_TRY - try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise
|
|
|
- CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL - SSL for the control connection or fail
|
|
|
- CURLFTPSSL_ALL - SSL for all communication or fail
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Any failure to set the desired level will make libcurl fail with the error
|
|
|
- code CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED. This new option makes a "normal" ftp:// transfer
|
|
|
- attempt to be made securely.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've been able to login and get files (passively) from Mathias' server using
|
|
|
- both ftps:// and CURLOPT_FTP_SSL. (I've made 'curl' understand the --ftp-ssl
|
|
|
- option that sets CURLFTPSSL_TRY.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gaz Iqbal fixed a range string memory leak.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem fixed the Windows builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added the new FTPSSL defines in curl/curl.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 November)
|
|
|
-- Josh Kapell filed bug report #845247 as he found an endless loop when
|
|
|
- getting a 407 back from a proxy when no user+password was given. Added test
|
|
|
- case 94 to verify the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 November)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth fixed a progress-bar problem on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- While working with Nicolas Croiset's bug report #843739, I noticed two minor
|
|
|
- problems related to ftp partial downloads: if a partial transfer is
|
|
|
- detected, we must close the connection as we cannot know in what state it is
|
|
|
- anymore. This looks like a ProFTPD bug:
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-11/0079.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 November)
|
|
|
-- Maciej W. Rozycki made the configure script use a cache variable for the
|
|
|
- writable argv test. This way, the default can be overridden better (for
|
|
|
- cross-compiles etc)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 November)
|
|
|
-- Mathias Axelsson found out libcurl sometimes freed the server certificate
|
|
|
- twice, leading to crashes!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 November)
|
|
|
-- Siddhartha Prakash Jain found a case with a bad resolve that we didn't
|
|
|
- properly bail out from, when using ares.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 November)
|
|
|
-- Default Content-Type for parts in multipart formposts has changed to
|
|
|
- "application/octet-stream". This seems more appropriate, and I believe
|
|
|
- mozilla and the likes do this. In the same area: .html files now get
|
|
|
- text/html as Content-Type. (Pointed out in bug report #839806)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem corrected the --progress-bar output by doing a flush of the
|
|
|
- output, which apparently makes it look better on at least windows, but
|
|
|
- possibly other platforms too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester identified a problem in the connect code, which made the
|
|
|
- multi interface on a IPv6-enabled Solaris box do bad. Test case 504 to be
|
|
|
- specific. I've spent some time to clean-up the Curl_connecthost() function
|
|
|
- now to use less duplicated code for the two different sections: IPv6 and
|
|
|
- IPv4.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 November)
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE. Use this to tell libcurl which file to use instead
|
|
|
- of trying to find a .netrc in the current user's home directory. The
|
|
|
- existing .netrc file finder is somewhat naive and is far from perfect on
|
|
|
- several platforms that aren't unix-style. If this option isn't set when
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NETRC is set, the previous approach will still be used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The current .netrc check code now also support longer than 256 bytes path
|
|
|
- names.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 November)
|
|
|
-- Kang-Jin Lee pointed out that the generated ca-bundle.h file shouldn't be
|
|
|
- written in the source dir if a different build dir is used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- After Sébastien Willemijns' bug report, we now check the separators properly
|
|
|
- in the 229-reply servers respond on a EPSV command and bail out better if
|
|
|
- the reply string is not RFC2428-compliant.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 November)
|
|
|
-- Based on Gisle Vanem's patch, I made curl try harder to get the home
|
|
|
- directory of the current user, in order to find the default .curlrc file.
|
|
|
- We're also considering moving out the HOME-dir code from libcurl, and
|
|
|
- instead have the app pass in the path to the .netrc file (which is the only
|
|
|
- logic left in libcurl that uses the HOME dir). Then curl can use the home
|
|
|
- dir for that purpose too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ralph Mitchell's updated testcurl.sh to the script to take an existing
|
|
|
- directory name and build/run/test curl in there instead of trying to update
|
|
|
- from CVS. Using this approach, the script can now be used to test daily
|
|
|
- tarballs etc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem added a "resource file" to the Windows DLL builds, to contain
|
|
|
- information such as version number, library name, copyright info etc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 November)
|
|
|
-- curl checks if the existing libcurl supports things like --ntlm, --negotiate
|
|
|
- and --krb4 and returns error if not.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added three new global defines in the curl/curl.h header:
|
|
|
- LIBCURL_VERSION_MAJOR, LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCURL_VERSION_PATCH. They
|
|
|
- are the three numbers in the library's version number, separated for easier
|
|
|
- usage. 'maketgz' was updated accordingly to generate these numbers properly
|
|
|
- when building release-archives.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Uninitialized variable fix, reported by both Marty Kuhrt and Benjamin
|
|
|
- Gerard.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Matt Veenstra provided build files to build libcurl as a "framework" under
|
|
|
- Mac OS X. See the lib/libcurl.framework.make for details.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed the defines of TRUE and FALSE from the curl/curl.h header file.
|
|
|
- They're not in our name space so we should not fiddle with them.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 November)
|
|
|
-- Replaced the man page to HTML converter program with a new one: roffit.
|
|
|
- Makes nicer web pages.

|
-Daniel (4 November)
|
|
|
-- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed the MSVC makefiles to let them build curl fine
|
|
|
- on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth corrected the cygwin package generator and spell-fixed the
|

-Daniel (31 October)
|
|
|
-- Assume that MDTM on an FTP server returns the timestamp using the UTC time
|
|
|
- zone. This changes the time CURLINFO_FILETIME returns for a given file over
|
|
|
- FTP, and will change existing uses of CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION. It will make
|
|
|
- the functionality more similar to how the HTTP one is already working.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Command line options that take numerical parameters (such as -y, -Y, -C etc)
|
|
|
- now report error and exit if the parameter isn't truly a number greater than
|
|
|
- or equal to zero. This helps users to notice bad usage earlier. Before, when
|
|
|
- a user forgot or missed to add a numerical parameter to an option, the
|
|
|
- command line parser would simply "eat" the following option and it would
|
|
|
- cause great confusion.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 October)
|
|
|
-- David Hull made libcurl deal with NOBODY and HEADER for file:// the same way
|
|
|
- it already does for FTP: it provides HTTP-looking headers that provide info
|
|
|
- only about the file, without doing the actual transfer. The curl tool then
|
|
|
- lets --head do this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 October)
|
|
|
-- runtests.pl now checks for and use valgrind if present. It will redirect the
|
|
|
- valgrind results in log/valgrind[num] but it currently doesn't scan that
|
|
|
- file for any errors or anything, that is still only made manually.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file
|
|
|
- syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.

|
|
|
-Daniel (28 October)
|
|
|
-- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()
|

- function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and
|
|
|
- provided a fix. On Linux machines with these glibc versions, non-IPv6
|
|
|
- builds of libcurl would often fail to resolve perfectly resolvable host
|
|
|
- names.
|
|

-Daniel (26 October)
|
|
|
-- James Bursa found out that curl_msnprintf() could write the trailing
|
|
|
- zero-byte outside its given buffer size. This could happen if you generated
|
|
|
- a very long error message as then libcurl would overwrite the ERRORBUFFER
|
|
|
- with one byte. Using a non-existing very long local file:// name is one case
|
|
|
- that could make this occur.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 October)
|
|
|
-- David Hull filed bug report #829827. It identified a problem with -C - if
|
|
|
- the full file already was downloaded and thus the server responded with a
|
|
|
- 416. libcurl would then wrongly use the Content-Length: header and expect
|
|
|
- that size to get transfer, causing a "hang" until the server closed the
|
|
|
- connection and then an error 18 ("still N bytes data left of the transfer").
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now we don't return any error at all, but I think libcurl should perhaps
|
|
|
- return some kind of info since the requested range was out of the size of
|
|
|
- the document.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Based on David Hull's fix in bug report #804599, we now check for solaris and
|
|
|
- gcc in configure and set the -mimpure-text link flag for linking the lib
|
|
|
- better.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I've introduced a -t option to the runtests.pl script. With that option set,
|
|
|
- the script runs special "memory torture" tests. For each test command line
|
|
|
- in that section, the script first runs the command line and counts the total
|
|
|
- amount of allocations made. It then runs the exact same command line again,
|
|
|
- forcing allocation number N to fail. It will try every N from 1 to the total
|
|
|
- number of amounts made. For every invoke, it checks that no memory was
|
|
|
- leaked as that would indicate a bad cleanup somewhere in the code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is just beginning to work, and I've already made some corrections in
|
|
|
- libcurl code. When this code works somewhat fine, I'll make sure 'make test'
|
|
|
- in the root dir will run these tests as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 October)
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn fixed how the CA verification is made. Verifications can now be
|
|
|
- made while at the same time the result of it can be ignored. This also
|
|
|
- affects the curl tool as -k can now be used together with --cacert or
|
|
|
- --capath.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 October)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem found out --disable-eprt didn't work and patched it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Test case 91 was modified and could now repeat the problem Kevin Roth has
|
|
|
- reported, and the bug was fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dylan Ellicott added vc-libcurl-ssl-dll as a target to the root makefile
|
|
|
- to build a static libcurl that links with a shared OpenSSL using MSVC.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 October)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García updated the mingw32 makefiles.

-Version 7.10.8-pre5 (21 October 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 October)
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn made libcurl output more info on SSL failures when receiving
|
|
|
- data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.8-pre4 (18 October 2003)
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (17 October)
|
|
|
-- Dominick Meglio implemented CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE and --max-filesize.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made libcurl show verbose info about what auth type and user name that is
|
|
|
- being sent in its HTTP request-headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 October)
|
|
|
-- Removed support for CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION and CURLOPT_PASSWDDATA. libcurl
|
|
|
- no longer prompt for passwords under any circumstances. Password prompting
|
|
|
- was instead moved to curl, which now prompts for password if -u or -U lack
|
|
|
- it. This solves the problem Kevin Roth reported when curl prompted for
|
|
|
- password twice when doing NTLM authentication.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I rewrote the SSL subjectAltName check to avoid having to rely on OpenLDAP-
|
|
|
- licensed derivate code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 October)
|
|
|
-- Avoid doing getsockopt() on Windows to verify connects. It seems that this
|
|
|
- hogs Windows machines when libcurl is being used multi-threaded (with > ~50
|
|
|
- threads). Andrew Fuller helped us verify and test this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 October)
|
|
|
-- Kimmo Kinnunen fixed a crash with duphandle() when CURLDEBUG is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem made libcurl build and work with IPv6 on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 October)
|
|
|
-- Giuseppe Attardi reported yet another segfault with ares and the multi
|
|
|
- interface. Me fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Domenico Andreoli removed the extra LDFLAGS assignment in lib/Makefile.am
|
|
|
- that was reported about in the debian bug report #212086.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Domenico also fixed two makefiles where we used 'gnroff' instead of the more
|
|
|
- portable $(NROFF).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 October)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske made the share locking around DNS lookups slightly different to
|
|
|
- allow the share system's DNS lookups to run somewhat more
|
|
|
- independent/faster.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 October)
|
|
|
-- Lachlan O'Dea fixed a resume problem: "If I set CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM, perform
|
|
|
- an HTTP download, then reset CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM to 0, the next download
|
|
|
- still has a Range header with a garbage value." bug report #820502
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dominick Meglio made the inet_pton.c file build fine using MSVC.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The 'sws' test suite web server now #include setup.h from the lib directory.
|
|
|
- This makes it more portable easier.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.8-pre3 (8 October 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 October)
|
|
|
-- Frank Ticheler provided a patch that fixes how libcurl connects to multiple
|
|
|
- addresses, if one of them fails (IPv4 code).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 October)
|
|
|
-- Neil Dunbar provided a patch that now makes libcurl check SSL
|
|
|
- subjectAltNames when matching certs. This is apparently detailed in RFC2818
|
|
|
- as the right thing to do. I had to add configure checks for inet_pton() and
|
|
|
- our own (strictly speaking, code from BIND written by Paul Vixie) provided
|
|
|
- code for the function for platforms that miss it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- HTTP POST using the read callback didn't work, as Florian Schoppmann
|
|
|
- reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 October)
|
|
|
-- Shared provided a few fixes to make libcurl build on BeOS
|
|
|
- out-of-the-box. New code for BeOS-style non-blocking sockets, provided by
|
|
|
- Shard and Jeremy Friesner. Modified the autoconf check for non-blocking
|
|
|
- sockets to check for this kind too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 October)
|
|
|
-- Vincent Bronner pointed out that if you set CURLOPT_COOKIE for a transfer
|
|
|
- and then set it to NULL in a subsequent one, the previous cookie was still
|
|
|
- sent off!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jon Turner fixed a problem libcurl had when it failed on an FTP transfer due
|
|
|
- to a bad path, it would cause the next transfer to use a bad path as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Siddhartha Prakash Jain provided a patch with a fix for libcurl with ares,
|
|
|
- when working on IP-only names as we then could return "wait" status when the
|
|
|
- name in fact already was resolved. I edited the patch slightly to not expose
|
|
|
- asynch details to non-ares aware source code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 October)
|
|
|
-- Neil Spring posted the debian bug report #213180, and pointed out that using
|
|
|
- the name 'access' in a function prototype is not very wise as some compilers
|
|
|
- complain.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester provided his and Jean-Paul Merlin's curlx.c example source
|
|
|
- code that shows how they use ssl and callbacks.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 October)
|
|
|
-- James MacMillan's patch makes curl build on QNX 6.2.x.

|
|
|
-- My daughter was born!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 September)
|
|
|
-- Added support for -4/--ipv4 and -6/--ipv6 to force names to resolve to that
|
|
|
- particular IP version. They only work for IPv6-enabled libcurls.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl -V now outputs 'SPNEGO' as a feature in case libcurl was built to
|
|
|
- support that.
|

-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.8-pre2 (22 September 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 September)
|
|
|
-- Giuseppe Attardi found a segfault in libcurl when using the multi interface
|
|
|
- with ares and doing repeated operations against a non-resolving host name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 September)
|
|
|
-- Added the CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE option, that allows an application to select
|
|
|
- what kind of IP addresses he wants to use when resolving host names. This
|
|
|
- is only interesting when using host names that resolve addresses using more
|
|
|
- than one version of IP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied Markus Moeller's patch that introduces SPNEGO support if libcurl
|
|
|
- is built with the FBopenssl libraries. curl_version_info() now returns
|
|
|
- info on SPNEGO availability. The patch also made the GSSAPI stuff work fine
|
|
|
- with the MIT GSS-library (the Heimdal one still works too).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 September)
|
|
|
-- Doing PUT with --digest failed, as reported in bug report #805853.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Using --anyauth that picked NTLM, and then a redirect closed the connection
|
|
|
- and took curl to a second NTLM page made curl fail. Bug report #806328
|
|
|
- identified the problem, test case 90 was added to verify the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 September)
|
|
|
-- codemastr brought a patch for ares to make the Windows portions of it work
|
|
|
- properly on NT4. I uploaded a new diff and updated the docs on where to get
|
|
|
- it etc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer tracked down a very hard-to-find bug where we removed a
|
|
|
- cached DNS entry even though it may be in use, which caused "random" memory
|
|
|
- to get overwritten and thus "random" crashes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 September)
|
|
|
-- Based on a bug report by David Kimdon, I made the runtests.pl script clear
|
|
|
- all possible proxy environment variables before the tests are run.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- By default, easy handles within a multi handle now share DNS cache.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tim Bartley brought a patch that makes the GSSNEGOTIATE option work for
|
|
|
- Microsoft's "Negotiate" authentication as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 September)
|
|
|
-- A zero-length proxy string confused FTP transfers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bjorn Reese found a case with an uninitialized pointer, only present when
|
|
|
- built for ares.

|
|
-Daniel (7 September)
|
|
|
-- Jurij Smakov found out that the non-OpenSSL MD5 code was not working on
|
|
|
- Alpha (or ia64). Only the OpenSSL-version did. I made a fix I think corrects
|
|
|
- the problem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 September)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Fisk reported that configure --enable-thread didn't work. I fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- De-macrofied the lib/hash.c source code somewhat.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 September)
|
|
|
-- CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL and CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL added, Based on Joerg
|
|
|
- Mueller-Tolk's patch,
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Early (4 September)
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT - allows user to set strict timeout
|
|
|
- requirements on the FTP server's ability to respond to individual commands
|
|
|
- without placing global requirements on transfer or connect time. Files
|
|
|
- affected:
|
|
|
- - include/curl/curl.h
|
|
|
- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
|
|
|
- - lib/ftp.c
|
|
|
- Added branch inside Curl_GetFTPResponse to check for
|
|
|
- data->set.ftp_response_timeout
|
|
|
- - lib/url.c
|
|
|
- Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT
|
|
|
- - lib/urldata.h
|
|
|
- Added ftp_response_timeout to struct UserDefined
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 September)
|
|
|
-- Peter Pentchev found and fixed two problems in the test suite's web server
|
|
|
- code, that made it segfault at times.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jörg Mueller-Tolk improved the proxy user+password handling, especially
|
|
|
- when providing a blank password.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 September)
|
|
|
-- Fix for making CONNECT to proxies do the correct magic to allow NTLM, Digest
|
|
|
- and similar to work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 September)
|
|
|
-- Henrik Storner made libcurl work fine with OpenLDAP 2.1.22 (current).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer added a proper error message for non-resolving hosts when
|
|
|
- using ares for lookups.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 August)
|
|
|
-- John McGowan reported that curl -k still failed if the HTTPS server's CN
|
|
|
- field wasn't obtainable. This was due to the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST being
|
|
|
- set to 1, and libcurl failed if the CN was missing. Starting now, having it
|
|
|
- set to 1 will simply output a warning if no CN could be obtained (as having
|
|
|
- a mismatch is OK).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 August)
|
|
|
-- Vincent Sanders provided a fix for name resolving when linked with uClibc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 August)
|
|
|
-- Gerd v. Egidy provided a patch that makes libcurl store the FTP response
|
|
|
- code from ftp servers. Using curl_easy_getinfo() with CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE
|
|
|
- returns that data. The option is therefore now also known as
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Antoine Calando found a segfault when doing multi-part/formpost using
|
|
|
- the multi interface.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Antoine Calando pointed out that curl_multi_info_read() didn't set the
|
|
|
- msgs_in_queue to 0 properly when returning NULL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 August)
|
|
|
-- I made curl support multiple -T options, as well as -T "{file1,file2}"
|
|
|
- style globbing. One -T for each URL is supported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Pohlmeyer found a segfault when using ares-enabled libcurl and the
|
|
|
- multi interface when trying a non-existing host name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the libcurl printf code support long longs if available.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Loren Kirkby pointed out that we did not clean up all SSL-allocated memory
|
|
|
- in curl_global_cleanup().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 August)
|
|
|
-- Setting CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or CURLOPT_READFUNCTION to NULL will now make
|
|
|
- them get the internal defaults restored. Previously this could cause a
|
|
|
- segfault. We should aim at having all pointer-related options get restored
|
|
|
- to default/safe values when set to NULL.

-Version 7.10.7 (15 August 2003)
|

|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 August)
|
|
|
-- I modified the memdebug system to return failure on memory allocation
|
|
|
- functions after a set amount of successful ones. This enables us to test
|
|
|
- out-of-memory situations in a controlled manner and we can make sure that
|
|
|
- curl/libcurl behaves good in those.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This made me find and fix several spots where we did not cleanup properly
|
|
|
- when bailing out due to errors (low memory).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Corrected test case 74. Made using -o with bad #[num] codes complain and
|
|
|
- bail out. Made #[num] support numbers larger than 9 as well. Added test
|
|
|
- case 86 for a proper range globbing test as well.

-Version 7.10.7-pre4 (12 August 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 August)
|
|
|
-- curl_version_info() now returns a flag if libcurl was built with asynch DNS
|
|
|
- support, and this is now also displayed with 'curl -V'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a few new man pages to the docs/libcurl dir: curl_share_init,
|
|
|
- curl_share_setopt, curl_share_cleanup, libcurl-easy and libcurl-share.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 August)
|
|
|
-- Mike Cherepov made the local binding code work for Windows, which makes
|
|
|
- the option CURLOPT_INTERFACE work on Windows as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Vincent Sanders updated the fopen.c example code a lot.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- --proxy-ntlm is now supported by the curl tool. It forces the proxy
|
|
|
- authentication to be made using NTLM. It does not yet work for HTTPS over
|
|
|
- proxies (or other proxy-tunneling options). Test case 81 and 82 do some
|
|
|
- simple initial ntlm testing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Found and fixed a minor memory leak on re-used connections with
|
|
|
- proxy-authentication.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I removed -@ and -Z as valid short options. They were very rarely used (@
|
|
|
- wasn't even documented).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Serge Semashko introduced CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, and make it work when set to
|
|
|
- CURLAUTH_NTLM and/or CURLAUTH_BASIC. The PROXAUTH is similar to HTTPAUTH,
|
|
|
- but is for the proxy connection only, and HTTPAUTH is for the remote host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed loading of cookies with blank contents from a cookie jar. Also made the
|
|
|
- cookie functions inform on added and skipped cookies (for cookie debugging).

|
|
|
-- Applied David Byron's fix for file:// URLs with drive letters included.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added the --ftp-create-dirs to the client code, which activates Early's
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option, and wrote test case 147 to verify
|
|
|
- it. Added the option to the curl.1 man page too. Added the option to the

|
-Daniel (7 August)
|
|
|
-- Test case 60 failed on ia64 and AMD Opteron. Fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed a printf problem that resulted in urlglobbing bugs (bug #203827 in the
|
|

-- Salvatore Sorrentino filed bug report #783116 and Early Ehlinger posted a
|
|
|
- bug report to the libcurl list, both identifying a problem with FTP
|
|
|
- persistent connections and how the dir hierarchy was not properly reset
|
|
|
- between files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron's thoughts on a fixed Makefile in tests/ were applied.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jan Sundin reported a case where curl ignored a cookie that browsers don't,
|
|
|
- which turned up to be due to the number of dots in the 'domain'. I've now
|
|
|
- made curl follow the the original netscape cookie spec less strict on that
|
|
|
- part.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 August)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske added cookie support for the experimental, hidden and still
|
|
|
- undocumented share feature!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Mark Fletcher provided an excellent bug report that identified a problem
|
|
|
- with FOLLOWLOCATION and chunked transfer-encoding, as libcurl would not
|
|
|
- properly ignore the body contents of 3XX response that included the
|
|
|
- Location: header.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Early (6 August)
|
|
|
-- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
|
|
|
- This option will force the target file's path to be created if it
|
|
|
- does not already exist on the remote system.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Files affected:
|
|
|
- - include/curl/curl.h
|
|
|
- Added option CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
|
|
|
- - lib/ftp.c
|
|
|
- Added function ftp_mkd, which issues a MKD command
|
|
|
- Added function ftp_force_cwd, which attempts a CWD,
|
|
|
- and does a MKD and retries the CWD if the original CWD
|
|
|
- fails
|
|
|
- Modified ftp_perform() to call its change directory function
|
|
|
- through a pointer. The pointer points to ftp_cwd by default,
|
|
|
- and is modified to point to ftp_force_cwd IFF
|
|
|
- data->set.ftp_create_missing_dirs is not 0.
|
|
|
- - lib/url.c
|
|
|
- Modified Curl_setopt to recognize CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS
|
|
|
- - lib/urldata.h
|
|
|
- Added ftp_create_missing_dirs to struct UserDefined
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Minor Bugfix for CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION with FTP - if the file was not
|
|
|
- present to do the time comparison, it would fail.
|
|
|
- Files affected:
|
|
|
- - lib/ftp.c
|
|
|
- In ftp_perform(), the call to ftp_getfiletime() used to be followed
|
|
|
- by
|
|
|
- if (result)
|
|
|
- return result;
|
|
|
- And then by the code that actually did the time comparison.
|
|
|
- The code that did the comparison handled the case where the filetime
|
|
|
- was not available (as indicated by info.filetime < 0 or set.timevalue
|
|
|
- < 0), so I replaced the if (result) return result with a switch(result)
|
|
|
- that allows CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE to fall through to the
|
|
|
- normal time comparison.

|
|
-- When proxy authentication is used in a CONNECT request (as used for all SSL
|
|
|
- connects and otherwise enforced tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same
|
|
|
- authentication header is also wrongly sent to the remote host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is a rather significant info leak. I've fixed it now and mailed a patch
|
|
|
- and warning to the mailing lists.

-Daniel (1 August)
|
|
|
-- David Byron provided a patch to make 7.10.6 build correctly with the
|
|
|
- compressed hugehelp.c source file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.7-pre1 (31 July 2003)

|
|
|
-Daniel (30 July)
|
|
|
-- Jörg Müller-Tolk updated the VC makefile.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Daniel Noguerol made the ftp code output "Accept-Ranges: bytes" in similar
|
|
|
- style like other faked HTTP headers when NOBODY and HEADER are used. I
|
|
|
- updated two corresponding test cases too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Marty Kuhrt pointed out a compilation problem on VMS due to my having
|
|
|
- changed a type from long to time_t, and I'm now changing it back to work
|
|
|
- more portably...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- He also indicated that distributing the src/hugehelp.c in a compressed state
|
|
|
- like I accidentally did may not be the smartest move... I've now fixed the
|
|
|
- distribute procedure to automatically generate an uncompressed version when I
|
|
|
- make release archives.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 July)

|
-Version 7.10.6 (28 July 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 July)
|
|
|
-- François Pons brought a patch that once again made curl deal with ftp and
|
|
|
- "double slash" as indicating the root directory. In the RFC1738-fix of April
|
|
|
- 30, that ability was removed (since it is not the "right" way). So, starting
|
|
|
- now we can list the root dir of an ftp server both these ways:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl ftp://server.com/%2f as well as
|
|
|
- curl ftp://server.com//
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 July)
|
|
|
-- Henry Bland pointed out that we included sys/resource.h without good reason
|
|
|
- in several source files. Without it included, QNX builds better...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 July)
|
|
|
-- Tracy Boehrer experienced DNS cache problems and did some nice debugging
|
|
|
- and tracking which made it easy for me to correct the problem and Tracy
|
|
|
- could verify that it did cure the problem! When re-using a connection we
|
|
|
- now make sure we don't re-use the 'connect_addr' struct.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Daniel Kouril corrected the GSS-Negotiate code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Juan F. Codagnone provided fixes to allow curl to build fine on Windows
|
|
|
- again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 July)
|
|
|
-- Edited the curl/curl.h include file to build on Windows properly.
|

|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 July)
|
|
|
-- Moved the proxy credentials from the SessionHandle struct to the connectdata
|
|
|
- struct, to make multiple proxy connections with differerent user names work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted the NTLM code to support proxy functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the krb4 stuff compile with the user+password fields moved.

|
-Daniel (20 July)
|
|
|
-- David Gardner pointed out in bug report 770755 that using the FTP command
|
|
|
- CWD with a blank argument is a bad idea and I made libcurl skip empty path
|
|
|
- segments starting now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 July)
|
|
|
-- Cris pointed out that my fix on July 16th didn't work fully. His pointing
|
|
|
- out this (and his patch) also made me realize that we have a very similar
|
|
|
- bug in the FTP connection re-use code. We must store a separate user and
|
|
|
- password field for each connection we keep (at least for FTP and HTTP+NTLM
|
|
|
- connections, so I made us do this unconditionally).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Since NTLM authenticates connections instead of single requests, I had to
|
|
|
- re-arrange how we store the NTLM data and I had to improve the test suite to
|
|
|
- finally work properly with persistency to make the NTLM tests run fine
|
|
|
- again. This also forced me to have to update lots of HTTP test cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 July)
|
|
|
-- Cris Bailiff's bug report 768275 pointed out that using Basic auth with
|
|
|
- wrong user+password caused an endless loop. Fixed now. He also found out that
|
|
|
- we didn't properly authenticate connections with NTLM. Fixed too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Winship provided fixes for the NTLM code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 July)
|
|
|
-- Doug Kaufman provided additional fixes for the DOS port.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 July)
|
|
|
-- Rick Richardson pointed out that using setvbuf() to achieve non-buffering
|
|
|
- on output is no-good for SCO Xenix and other unixes. We switched over to
|
|
|
- using plain fflush() instead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Grayson pointed out that we set the CURL_CA_BUNDLE variable wrongly in
|
|
|
- the configure script, and I had to change some build stuff to make the new
|
|
|
- way work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester's patch was applied that introduces the following:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION to set a callback that gets called with the
|
|
|
- OpenSSL's ssl_ctx pointer passed in and allow a callback to act on it. If
|
|
|
- anything but CURLE_OK is returned, that will also be returned by libcurl
|
|
|
- all the way back. If this function changes the CURLOPT_URL, libcurl will
|
|
|
- detect this and instead go use the new URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA is a pointer you set to get passed to the callback set
|
|
|
- with CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 July)
|
|
|
-- David Byron provided a patch that allows a client to quit the test suite's
|
|
|
- HTTP server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem found and patched a lib handle leak in the ldap code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 June)
|
|
|
-- More NTLM-improvements. 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: https://davenport.sourceforge.io/ntlm.html
|
|
|
- Version stored and provided at curl site: https://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html
|
|
|
-
|

-- Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or
|
|
|
- SSL.

|
-
|
|
|
-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
|
|
|
- fetches, 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
|
|
|
- installations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- 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:
|
|
|
- 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
|
|
|
- globbing code. (All this is application code outside libcurl.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 June)
|
|
|
-- David Orrell found out that sending a huge GET request over HTTPS could
|
|
|
- make libcurl fail and return an error code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 June)
|
|
|
-- Richard Bramante found out that "Content-Length: 0" was not properly used by
|
|
|
- libcurl if the response-headers indicated that the connection would be
|
|
|
- closed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Byron's patch was applied, that makes the --progress-bar take the
|
|
|
- local size into account when doing resumed downloads.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Feedback from Serge Semashko made me change the error message returned when
|
|
|
- CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR is returned.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Anonymous in bug report #745122 pointed out that we should really be using
|
|
|
- SSL_CTX_set_options(... SSL_OP_ALL) to work around flaws in existing SSL
|
|
|
- implementations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 May)
|
|
|
-- Andreas Ley and Rich Gray helped me point out that no version of HP-UX has
|
|
|
- the sys/select.h header file so including it unconditionally in curl/multi.h
|
|
|
- is not a good thing. Now we check for HPUX and avoid using that header on
|
|
|
- such systems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rudy Koento experienced problems with curl's recent habit of POSTing data in
|
|
|
- two separate send() calls, first the headers and then the data. I've now
|
|
|
- made a fix that for static and known content that is less than 100K in size,
|
|
|
- everything is now sent in one single system call again. This is also better
|
|
|
- for network performance reasons.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I modified the main makefile to not build the test suite and a few other
|
|
|
- unnecessary things by default. Now, the test suite is built when 'make test'
|
|
|
- is run. This reduces build time for those who don't care for the test
|
|
|
- suite, and it also reduces confusion for people using platforms where the
|
|
|
- test suite build fails!
|
|
|

|
-Daniel (26 May)
|
|
|
-- Chris Lewis pointed out a flaw in the #ifdefs in curl/multi.h for Windows,
|
|
|
- which is now corrected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jis Joy found another flaw in the SOCK5 code, as libcurl treated the socks5
|
|
|
- proxy a little too much like as if it was a http proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 May)
|
|
|
-- Ricardo Cadime found a socket leak when listing directories without
|
|
|
- contents. Test cases 144 and 145 were added to verify the fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rudy Koento found yet another problem when a HTTP server returns only a
|
|
|
- single-line of contents without any headers at all. libcurl then failed to
|
|
|
- count the data, thus returning error 52 "no contents". Test case 66 was
|
|
|
- added to verify that we now do right.

-Daniel (22 May)
|
|
|
-- David Remahl set up a test-server for me providing Digest authentication,
|
|
|
- and I wrote the first working code that support it. The test suite was
|
|
|
- modified slightly as well to work better for it and --digest was added to

-- David Balazic pointed out that curl_unescape() didn't check that %-codes
|

|
- Now, we do the check and only %XX codes are unescaped if the X letters are

-Version 7.10.5 (19 May 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 May)
|
|
|
-- Changed the order for the in_addr_t testing, as 'unsigned long' seems to be
|
|
|
- a very common type inet_addr() returns.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 May)
|
|
|
-- George Comninos provided a fix that calls the progress meter when waiting
|
|
|
- for FTP command responses take >1 second. It'll make applications more
|
|
|
- "responsive" even when dealing with very slow ftp servers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 May)
|
|
|
-- George Comninos pointed out that libcurl uploads had two quirks:
|
|
|
- o when using FTP PORT command, it used blocking sockets!
|
|
|
- o it could loop a long time without doing progress meter updates
|
|
|
- Both items are fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 May)
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich changed CURLOPT_ENCODING to select all supported encodings if
|
|
|
- set to "". This frees the application from having to know which encodings
|
|
|
- the library supports.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich pointed out we had three unnecessary files in CVS that is
|
|
|
- generated with libtoolize, so they're now removed and libtoolize is invoked
|
|
|
- accordingly in the buildconf script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Avery Fay found out that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE way of first checking if the
|
|
|
- given name is a network interface gave a real performance penalty on Linux,
|
|
|
- so now we more appropriately first check if it is an IP number and if so
|
|
|
- we don't check for a network interface with that name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT added. Set this to FALSE to disable libcurl's attempts
|
|
|
- to use EPRT and LPRT before the traditional PORT command. The command line
|
|
|
- tool sets this option with '--disable-eprt'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.5-pre2 (6 May 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 May)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Delafield reported another case where we didn't correctly check for
|
|
|
- EAGAIN but only EWOULDBLOCK, which caused badness on HPUX.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 May)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear noticed that the check for 'writable argv' exited the configure
|
|
|
- script when run for cross-compiling, which wasn't nice. Now it'll default to
|
|
|
- no and output a warning about the fact that it was not checked for.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 May)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 62 and fixed some more on the cookie sending with a custom
|
|
|
- Host: header set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 May)
|
|
|
-- Andy Cedilnik fixed a few compiler warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the "SSL read error: 5" error message more verbose, by adding code that
|
|
|
- queries the OpenSSL library to fill in the error buffer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Added sys/select.h include in the curl/multi.h file, after having been
|
|
|
- reminded about this by Rich Gray.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I made each test set its own server requirements, thus abandoning the
|
|
|
- previous system where the test number implied what server(s) to use for a
|
|
|
- specific test.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Balazic made curl more RFC1738-compliant for FTP URLs, by fixing so
|
|
|
- that libcurl now uses one CWD command for each path part. A bunch of test
|
|
|
- cases were fixed to work accordingly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Cookie fixes:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- A. Save domains in jars like Mozilla does. It means all domains set in
|
|
|
- Set-Cookie: headers are dot-prefixed.
|
|
|
- B. Save and use the 'tailmatch' field in the Mozilla/Netscape cookie jars
|
|
|
- (the second column).
|
|
|
- C. Reject cookies using illegal domains in the Set-Cookie: line. Concerns
|
|
|
- both domains with too few dots or domains that are outside the currently
|
|
|
- operating server host's domain.
|
|
|
- D. Set the path part by default to the one used in the request, if none was
|
|
|
- set in the Set-Cookie line.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To make item C really good, I also made libcurl notice custom Host: headers
|
|
|
- and extract the host name set in there and use that as the host name for the
|
|
|
- site we're getting the cookies from. This allows user to specify a site's
|
|
|
- IP-address, but still be able to receive and send its cookies properly if
|
|
|
- you provide a valid Host: name for the site.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Peter Kovacs provided a patch that makes the CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME work fine
|
|
|
- when using the multi interface (too).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.5-pre1 (23 Apr 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Upgraded to libtool 1.5.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Peter Sylvester pointed out that curl_easy_setopt() will always (wrongly)
|
|
|
- return CURLE_OK no matter what happens.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich fixed some gzip decompression bugs and flaws.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Fixed minor typo in man page, reported in the Debian bug tracker.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Fixed some FTP tests in the test suite that failed on my Solaris host, due
|
|
|
- to the config.h not being included before the system headers. When done that
|
|
|
- way, it did get a mixed sense of if big files are supported or not and then
|
|
|
- stat() and fstat() (as used in test case 505) got confused and failed to
|
|
|
- return a proper file size.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Formposting a file using a .html suffix is now properly set to Content-Type: text/html.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the SSL error handling to return proper SSL error messages again, they
|
|
|
- broke in 7.10.4. I also attempt to track down CA cert problems and then
|
|
|
- return the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The curl tool now intercepts the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code and displays
|
|
|
- a fairly big and explanatory error message. Kevin Roth helped me out with
|
|
|
- the wording.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Nic Hines provided a second patch for gzip decompression, and fixed a bug
|
|
|
- when deflate or gzip contents were downloaded using chunked encoding.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dan Fandrich made libcurl support automatic decompression of gzip contents
|
|
|
- (as an addition to the previous deflate support).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I made the CWD command during FTP session consider all 2xy codes to be OK
|
|
|
- responses.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Vlad Krupin fixed a URL parsing issue. URLs that were not using a slash
|
|
|
- after the host name, but still had "?" and parameters appended, as in
|
|
|
- "http://hostname.com?foobar=moo", were not properly parsed by libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Made CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION work for FTP transfers, using the same syntax as
|
|
|
- for HTTP. This then made -z work for ftp transfers too. Added test case 139
|
|
|
- and 140 for verifying this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Getting the file date of an ftp file used the wrong time zone when
|
|
|
- displayed. It is supposedly always GMT. Added test case 141 for this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the test suite's FTP server support MDTM.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The default DEBUGFUNCTION, as enabled with CURLOPT_VERBOSE now outputs
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_HEADER_IN data as well. The most notable effect from this is that
|
|
|
- using curl -v, you get to see the incoming "headers" as well. This is
|
|
|
- perhaps most useful when doing ftp.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 Apr)
|
|
|
-- James Bursa fixed a flaw in the Content-Type extraction code, which missed
|
|
|
- the first letter if no space followed the colon.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Magnus Nilsson pointed out that share.c was missing in the MSVC project
|
|
|
- file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Ryan Weaver provided a patch that makes the CA cert bundle not get installed
|
|
|
- anymore when 'configure --without-ssl' has been used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Martijn Broenland found another cases where a server application didn't
|
|
|
- like the boundary string used by curl when doing a multi-part/formpost. We
|
|
|
- modified the boundary string to look like the one IE uses, as this is
|
|
|
- probably gonna make curl work with more applications.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth reported that a bunch of tests fails on cygwin. One set fails
|
|
|
- when using perl 5.8 (and they run fine with perl 5.6), and another set
|
|
|
- failed because of an artifact in the test suite's FTP server that I
|
|
|
- corrected. It turned out the FTP server code was still having a file opened
|
|
|
- while the main test script removed it and invoked the HTTP server that
|
|
|
- attempted to create the same file name of the file the FTP server kept open.
|
|
|
- This operation works fine on unix, but not on cygwin.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Version 7.10.4 (2 Apr 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 Apr)
|
|
|
-- Added test case 505 to exercise FTP upload with rename done with libcurl,
|
|
|
- and for that I had to extend the test suite's FTP server to deal with the
|
|
|
- RNFR and RNTO commands.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Even more SSL config check modifications after Richard's testing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.4-pre6 (31 Mar 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 Mar)
|
|
|
-- More fixes for the SSL session ID cache checks when SSL configs are changed
|
|
|
- between connections. Based on tests and talks with Richard Bramante.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Guillaume Cottenceau provided a patch that added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH.
|
|
|
- When enabled, it will prevent libcurl from limiting to which host it sends
|
|
|
- user+password to when following locations. By default, libcurl only sends
|
|
|
- name and password to the original host used in the first URL, but with this
|
|
|
- option set it will send the auth info to all hosts it follows location
|
|
|
- headers to. The new tool command line option for this is named
|
|
|
- "--location-trusted".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Frankie Fong reported a problem with libcurl if you re-used an easy handle
|
|
|
- with a proxy, and you first made a https:// connection to a host and then
|
|
|
- switched to a http:// one to the same host. libcurl would then wrongly re-use
|
|
|
- the same connection for it and fail to get the second URL properly
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Dan Shearer's fix that makes curl complain if invoked with nothing but "curl
|
|
|
- -O" was applied.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Bryan Kemp was friendly enough to lend me an account on his Redhat 9 box and
|
|
|
- I could fix the configure problems on redhat 8.1 and 9 in no time thanks to
|
|
|
- this. Thanks a bunch Bryan!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Renamed configure.in to configure.ac
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.4-pre5 (25 Mar 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Richard Bramante provided a fix for a handle re-use problem seen when you
|
|
|
- change options on an SSL-enabled connection between requests. Previously,
|
|
|
- changing peer verification or host verification and similar things was not
|
|
|
- taken into account when a connection were checked for re-use and thus
|
|
|
- enabling stricter check between requests on a re-used connection made no
|
|
|
- difference and the connection would thus be used erroneously.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Götz Babin-Ebell pointed out that the ca-bundle.crt file contained a
|
|
|
- certificate from Trustcenter that was a demo certificate only that was never
|
|
|
- intended to be part of a CA bundle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Life is a mystery. Within a time period of 17 hours, Tim Pope and Michael
|
|
|
- Churchill filed one bug report each, both identifying problems with a second
|
|
|
- transfer when doing persistent transfers re-using a connection. Tim's one is
|
|
|
- #706624, labeled "Multiple uploads per handle fail" and Michael's #707003
|
|
|
- "Does not send Authorization: header when reusing connection". I could track
|
|
|
- both down to the same piece of logic and it turned out libcurl was not using
|
|
|
- new settings properly when re-using an existing connection. This concerned
|
|
|
- both uploading and downloading and involved exactly those pieces these two
|
|
|
- reports identified. This code has been this faulty since the day I
|
|
|
- introduced persistent connection support in libcurl, more than 2 years ago.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 Mar 2003)
|
|
|
-- Five year anniversary. Today five years ago, the first ever curl release saw
|
|
|
- the light of day.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Andy Cedilnik corrected flaws in some libcurl example-usage sources.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Juan F. Codagnone reported that the fix from March 2nd was incomplete.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added code to the configure.in to check for select() argument types. I've
|
|
|
- not made any code use the results just yet though.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Gisle Vanem provided two patches to build better on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted the test suite code to better make sure that the server(s) required
|
|
|
- for a specific test is properly started before the test case is attempted.
|
|
|
- Many tests now run a lot faster than before.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Another configure.in adjustment made the configure detect functions properly
|
|
|
- on HPUX now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Philippe Raoult fixed pre4-compile quirks for FreeBSD.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.4-pre4 (13 Mar 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Added a backup-check for functions that aren't found by AC_CHECK_FUNCS()
|
|
|
- as I believe some checks on HPUX need this. At least some of the info given
|
|
|
- to us by Rick Jones seemed to indicate this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Thomas Tonino found out that if you used the curl tool to do PUT operations
|
|
|
- as in 'curl www.foo.com/dir/ -T file' and the file name included for example
|
|
|
- space or other characters that don't belong in URLs, curl did not properly
|
|
|
- URL encode them before using them in the URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added an option to configure called --enable-libgcc that simply adds -lgcc
|
|
|
- to the LIBS variable, as this seems to be a common problem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I modified the configure.in file, so that the headers are now checked in an
|
|
|
- order of "viality". We must also make sure to use the "default headers"
|
|
|
- parameter to AC_CHECK_HEADERS() so that headers are checked with the proper
|
|
|
- prerequisites included (i.e all the major and generally important header
|
|
|
- files are included there by default). This might be what we need for various
|
|
|
- Sun, HP, AIX and Tru64 systems to behave good again on the header check
|
|
|
- front.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rick Jones pointed out a few compiler warnings on HP-UX that I addressed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I made the configure --help output nicer by using AC_HELP_STRING() a lot
|
|
|
- more.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Christophe Demory fixed the socket sending code to work better on HP-UX
|
|
|
- when sending data to a socket that would block. It then returns EAGAIN, not
|
|
|
- EWOULDBLOCK.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Richard Gorton improved the seeding function for systems without a good
|
|
|
- and reliable random source.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Richard Gorton fixed a few warnings that popped up when you built curl
|
|
|
- using the Sun compiler on a 64bit SPARC platform.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Martin C. Martin fixed a case where a connect failure using the multi
|
|
|
- interface didn't produce a human readable error string.

|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 Mar)
|
|
|
-- Reverted ltmain.sh back to libtool 1.4.2 status again, as the 1.4.3 version
|
|
|
- broke the build on numerous platforms. It seems that libtool 1.4.3 puts some
|
|
|
- requirements on what versions of the other tools (autoconf + automake) that
|
|
|
- I am not familiar with and thus I couldn't fulfill at this point.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Yes, this is more than mildly frustrating.

|
|
-- Troels Walsted Hansen found and investigated a problem with libcurl on AIX,
|
|
|
- presumably only on 4.3 or later. gethostbyname_r() is not returning data
|
|
|
- that is possible to "keep" and cache the way libcurl does. But instead these
|
|
|
- versions of AIX uses a gethostbyname() that works thread-safely we can
|
|
|
- instead use the ordinary gethostbyname() and our pack_hostent() approach to
|
|
|
- achieve what we want. The configure script now attempts to detect AIX 4.3 or
|
|
|
- later to adjust for this.

|
-Daniel (28 Feb)
|

-
|
|
|
-- Salvatore Sorrentino found a problem with FTP downloading that turned out to
|
|
|
- be his FTP server returning size zero (0 bytes) when SIZE was used on a file
|
|
|
- while being in BINARY mode. We now make a second check for the actual size
|
|
|
- by scanning the RETR reply anyway, even if the SIZE command returned 0.

|
-Daniel (26 Feb)
|
|
|
-- Kyle Sallee reported a case where he would do a transfer that didn't update
|
|
|
- the progress meter properly. It turned out to be a case where libcurl would
|
|
|
- loop a little too eagerly in the transfer loop, which isn't really good for
|

-- I believe I fixed the 'Expect: 100-continue' behavior that has been broken
|

|
- for a while (I think since my change dated Dec 10 2002). When this header is

-- Matthew Clarke provided some info what to modify to make curl build
|
|
|
- flawlessly on AIX 3.2.5.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Martin C. Martin found and fixed a problem in the multi interface when
|
|
|
- running on Windows and trying to connect to a port without a listener.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Feb)
|
|
|
-- Christopher R. Palmer fixed Curl_base64_encode() to deal with zeroes in the
|
|
|
- data to encode.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 Feb)
|
|
|
-- Jean-Philippe added the first code that enables the 'share' system. This
|
|
|
- should now enable sharing of DNS data between two curl easy handles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Incorporated Nico Baggus' fixes to again compile flawlessly on VMS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- James Bursa corrected a bad comment in the public include file curl/multi.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Peter Forret reported one of those error:00000000 cases in libcurl again
|
|
|
- when connecting to a HTTPS site, and this time I did discover some oddities
|
|
|
- in how curl reports SSL errors back. It could miss showing the actual error.

|
|
|
- Noble told us it works fine.

|
|
|
-Daniel (31 Jan)

-- Kevin Roth fixed the zlib build stuff in the Mingw32 makefile.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 Jan)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth found out that curl on Windows always checked for the CA cert
|
|
|
- bundle using the environment variable and the path scan, even though
|
|
|
- -k/--insecure was used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Hamish Mackenzie pointed out that curl only did strict host name verifying
|
|
|
- if capath or cainfo was used. Now it'll always do it unless -k / --insecure
|
|
|
- is used!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Pavel Cenek pointed out that the Content-Type extraction was done wrongly
|
|
|
- as the full string was not fetched. Added test case 57 to verify that curl
|
|
|
- does it right now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 Jan)
|
|
|
-- Jamie Wilkinson provided a patch that now makes curl attempt to clear out
|
|
|
- "sensitive" command line arguments so that they don't appear in ps outputs
|
|
|
- (only on platforms that allow writing to argv[]).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- John McGowan found out that the DEBUGFUNCTION could be called with bad
|
|
|
- arguments and thus cause the --trace outputs to go wrong.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed all the emacs local variables from all files. Mats Lidell provided
|
|
|
- the new sample.emacs file (for a sample of what to include in your .emacs)
|
|
|
- and the curl-style.el that sets a better c-style for editing curl sources.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Dave Halbakken found a problem with FTP downloads that could accidently
|
|
|
- return CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE when curl_easy_perform() was called with NOBODY
|
|
|
- set TRUE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 Jan)
|
|
|
-- The fopen.c example was flawed as Nick Humfrey noticed, and I fixed it to
|
|
|
- work again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 Jan)
|
|
|
-- Bertrand Demiddelaer found and fixed a memory leak (the content-type string)
|
|
|
- when following locations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Ian Wilkes and Legoff Vincent both independently provided fixes for making
|
|
|
- curl/multi.h work properly when compiled with a C++ compiler.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Fixed 'buildconf' to check version number of the required tools before
|
|
|
- they're actually used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Wrote 'testcurl.sh', a script targeted for automatic and distributed curl
|
|
|
- tests on various platforms.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David Thiel pointed out that the .netrc file was not being dealt with
|
|
|
- properly anymore. I broke this in the password prompting "fix".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer patched libcurl to allocate the scratch buffer only
|
|
|
- on demand and thus we save 32KB in each curl handle that don't use that
|
|
|
- buffer. This need appeared when some people started using thousands of
|
|
|
- simultaneous curl handles... :-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Markus Oberhumer fixed curl-config --cflags when the includedir was not
|
|
|
- /usr/include.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Markus Oberhumer fixed CURLINFO_PRIVATE to properly return NULL if it was
|
|
|
- set to NULL!

|
|
|
-Daniel (10 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Steve Oliphant pointed out that test case 105 did not work anymore and this
|
|
|
- was due to a missing fix for the password prompting.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.10.3-pre6 (10 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Bryan Kemp pointed out that curl -u could not provide a blank password
|
|
|
- without prompting the user. It can now. -u username: makes the password
|
|
|
- empty, while -u username makes curl prompt the user for a password.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kjetil Jacobsen found a remaining connect problem in the multi interface on
|
|
|
- ipv4 systems (Linux only?), that I fixed and Kjetil verified that it fixed
|
|
|
- his problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- memanalyze.pl now reads a file name from the command line, and no longer
|
|
|
- takes the data on stdin as before.

|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Fixed tests/memanalyze.pl to work with file names that contain colons (as on
|
|
|
- Windows).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kjetil Jacobsen quickly pointed out that lib/share.h was missing...

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Updated lib/share.c quite a bit to match the design document at
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/dev/sharing.txt a lot more.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I'll try to update the document soonish. share.c is still not actually used
|
|
|
- by libcurl, but the API is slowly getting there and we can start
|
|
|
- implementing code that takes advantage of this system.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Updated share stuff in curl/curl.h, including data types, structs and
|
|
|
- function prototypes. The corresponding files in lib/ were also modified
|
|
|
- of course to remain compilable. Based on input from Jean-Philippe and also
|
|
|
- to make it more in line with the design document.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre patched a very trivial memory leak in
|
|
|
- curl_escape() that would happen when realloc() returns NULL...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Matthew Blain provided feedback to make the --create-dirs stuff build
|
|
|
- properly on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the #include in tests/libtest/first.c as Legoff Vincent pointed out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Philippe Raoult provided a patch that now makes libcurl properly support
|
|
|
- wildcard checks for certificate names.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Simon Liu added CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, to let an application set other
|
|
|
- strings recognized as "HTTP 200" to allow http-like protocols to get
|
|
|
- downloaded fine by curl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Now using autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Doing "curl -I ftp://domain/non-existing-file" still outputed a date!
|
|
|
- Wayne Haigh reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The error message is now written properly with a newline in the --trace
|
|
|
- file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 Jan 2003)
|
|
|
-- Sterling Hughes fixed a possible bug: previously, if you called
|
|
|
- curl_easy_perform and then set the global dns cache, the global cache
|
|
|
- wouldn't be used. Pointed out by Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Matthew Blain's fixed the VC6 libcurl makefile to include better debug data
|
|
|
- on debug builds.
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 Dec 2002)
|
|
|
-- Philippe Raoult reported a bug with HTTPS connections which I evidently
|
|
|
- added in my 19 dec fix. I corrected it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Idea from the Debian latest patch: use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE in the configure
|
|
|
- script to make the default makefile less confusing "to the casual
|
|
|
- installer".

|
-Daniel (19 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Matthew Blain patched the Curl_base64_decode() function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Evan Jordan reported in bug report #653022 that the SSL_read() usage was
|
|
|
- wrong, and it certainly was. It could lead to curl using too much CPU due to
|
|
|
- a stupid loop.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 Dec)
|
|
|
-- As suggested by Margus Freudenthal, CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND was renamed to
|
|
|
- CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR since it is returned on any >= 400 code when
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Bug reported #651464, reported by Christopher Palmer, provided an example
|
|
|
- source code using the multi interface that hang when trying to connect to a
|
|
|
- proxy on a localhost port where no proxy was listening. This bug was not
|
|
|
- repeatable on libcurls that were IPv6-enabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Christopher Palmer also noticed what Vojtech Janota already was
|
|
|
- experiencing: The attempted name resolve fix for glibc 2.2.93 caused libcurl
|
|
|
- to crash when used on some older glibc versions. The problem is of course
|
|
|
- the silliness of the 2.2.93. I committed a fix that hopefully should make
|
|
|
- the binary run fine on either one of the versions, even though the solution
|
|
|
- is not as nice as I'd like it to be.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Bug report #651460 by Christopher R. Palmer showed that when using libcurl
|
|
|
- to for example go over a proxy on localhost, it would attempt to connect
|
|
|
- through the proxy TWICE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I added test case 503 with which I managed to repeat this problem and I
|
|
|
- fixed the code to not re-attempt any connects (which also made it a nicer
|
|
|
- fix for the #650941 bug mentioned below).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The sws server was extended to deal with CONNECT in order to make test
|
|
|
- case 503 do good.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Evan Jordan posted bug report #650989 about a memory leak in the public key
|
|
|
- retrieving code. He provided a suggested fix and I merely applied it!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #650941, posted by Christopher R. Palmer identified a problem
|
|
|
- with the multi interface and getting file:// URLs. This was now fixed and
|
|
|
- test case 502 was added to verify this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Test case 500 and 501 are the first ever libcurl test cases that run.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made "configure --enable-debug" cut off all -O* options to the compiler
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Finally fixed the test suite's ftp server so that test case 402 doesn't
|
|
|
- cause the following test case to fail anymore!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 Dec)
|
|
|
-- CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is now decreased to 16KB since it makes the Windows
|
|
|
- version perform uploads much faster!!! RBramante did lots of research on
|
|
|
- this topic.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the #include in curl/curl.h to include the other files outside the
|
|
|
- extern "C" scope.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Moved around and added more logic:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- First, POST data is never sent as part of the request headers in the http.c
|
|
|
- code. It is always sent the "normal" read callback then send() way. This now
|
|
|
- enables a plain HTTP POST to be sent chunked if we want to. This also
|
|
|
- reduces the risk of having very big POSTs causing problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Further, sending off the initial HTTP request is not done using a loop
|
|
|
- anymore. If it wasn't all sent off in the first send(), the rest of the
|
|
|
- request is sent off in the normal transfer select() loop. This makes several
|
|
|
- things possible, but mainly it makes libcurl block less when used from the
|
|
|
- multi interface and it also reduces the risk of problems with issuing very
|
|
|
- large requests.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Dec)
|
|
|
-- Moved the read callback pointer and data within the structs to a more
|
|
|
- suitable place. This in preparation for a better HTTP-request sending code
|
|
|
- without (a silly) loop.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The Dodds fix seems not to work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Vojtech Janota tests proved that the resolve fix from oct 21st is not good
|
|
|
- enough since obviously older glibcs might return EAGAIN without this meaning
|
|
|
- that the buffer was too small.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- [the other day] Made libcurl loop on recv() and send() now until done, and
|
|
|
- then get back to select(). Previously it went back to select() more often
|
|
|
- which really was a slight overhead. This was due to the reported performance
|
|
|
- problems on HTTP PUT on Windows. I couldn't see any notable difference on
|
|
|
- Linux...

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 Dec 2002)
|
|
|
-- Lots of work with Malcolm Dodds made me add a temporary code fix that now
|
|
|
- shortens the timeout waiting for the 226 or 250 line after a completed
|
|
|
- FTP transfer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If no data is received within 60 seconds, this is taken as a sign of a dead
|
|
|
- control connection and we bail out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 Dec 2002)
|
|
|
-- Ralph's bug report #644841 identified a problem in which curl returned a
|
|
|
- timeout error code when in fact the problem was not a timeout. The proper
|
|
|
- error should now be propagated better when they're detected in the FTP
|
|
|
- response reading function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Updated the Borland Makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 Dec 2002)
|
|
|
-- Nicolas Berloquin provided a patch that introduced --create-dirs to the
|
|
|
- command line tool. When used in combination with -o, it lets curl create
|
|
|
- [non-existing] directories used in -o, suitably used with #-combinations
|
|
|
- such as:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl "www.images.com/{flowers,cities,parks,mountains}/pic_[1-100].jpg \

|
|
-- I visited Lars Nordgren and had a go with his problem, which lead me to
|
|
|
- implement this fix. If libcurl detects the added custom header
|
|
|
- "Transfer-Encoding: chunked", it will now enable a chunked transfer.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Also, chunked transfer didn't quite work before but seems to do so now.
|

|
-- Juan Ignacio Hervás found a crash in the verbose connect message that is

|
- CURLINFO_PRIVATE retrieves the private pointer from the curl handle.

- entries to prevent an entry to get flushed while still actually in use.
|
|
|
-
|
|

-- Upgraded to autoconf 2.54 and automake 1.7 on the release-build host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth made the command line tool check for a CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment
|
|
|
- variable (if --cacert isn't used) and if not set, the Windows version will
|
|
|
- check for a file named "curl-ca-bundle.crt" in the current directory or the
|
|
|
- directory where curl is located. That file is then used as CA root cert
|
|
|
- bundle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Avery Fay pointed out that curl's configure scrip didn't get right if you
|
|
|
- used autoconf newer than 2.52. This was due to some badly quoted code.

|
|
|
-- Emiliano Ida confirmed that we now build properly with the Borland C++
|
|
|
- compiler too. We needed yet another fix for the ISO cpp check in the curl.h
|
|
|
- header file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Yet another fix was needed to get the HTTP download without headers to work.
|
|
|
- This time it was needed if the first "believed header" was read all in the
|
|
|
- first read. Test 306 has not run properly since the 11th october fix.

-Daniel (21 Oct 2002)
|
|
|
-- Zvi Har'El pointed out a problem with curl's name resolving on Redhat 8
|
|
|
- machines (running IPv6 disabled). Mats Lidell let me use an account on his
|
|
|
- machine and I could verify that gethostbyname_r() has been changed to return
|
|
|
- EAGAIN instead of ERANGE when the given buffer size is too small. This is
|
|
|
- glibc 2.2.93.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Chin helped me get the -no-undefined option corrected in
|
|
|
- lib/Makefile.am since Cygwin builds want it there while Solaris builds don't
|
|
|
- want it present. Kevin Roth helped me try it out on cygwin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Nikita Schmidt provided a bug fix for a FOLLOWLOCATION bug introduced when
|
|
|
- the ../ support got in (7.10.1).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 Oct 2002)

|
|
- the multi interface.
|
|

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 Oct 2002)
|
|
|
-- Richard Cooper's experimenting proved that -j (CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION) didn't
|
|
|
- work quite as supposed. You needed to set it *before* you use
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, and we dont' want that kind of dependencies.

|
|
-Daniel (12 Oct 2002)
|
|
|
-- Trying to connect to a host on a bad port number caused the multi interface
|
|

-- Jeff Lawson fixed a few problems with connection re-use that remained when
|
|
|
- you set CURLOPT_PROXY to "".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Oct 2002)
|
|
|
-- Craig Davison found a terrible flaw and Cris Bailiff helped out in the
|
|
|
- search. Getting HTTP data from servers when the headers are split up in
|
|
|
- multiple reads, could cause junk data to get inserted among the saved
|
|
|
- headers. This only concerns HTTP(S) headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 Oct 2002)
|
|
|
-- Vincent Penquerc'h gave us the good suggestion that when the ERRRORBUFFER
|
|
|
- is set internally, the error text is sent to the debug function as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|

-- John Crow pointed out that libcurl-the-guide wasn't included in the release
|
|
|
- tarball!
|

|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth got problems with his cygwin build with -no-undefined was not
|
|
|
- present in lib/Makefile.am so I put it back in there again. The poor one who
|
|
|
- needs to remove it again must write a configure script to detect that need.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ralph Mitchell pointed out that curl was a bit naive and didn't deal with ./
|
|
|
- or ../ stuff in the string passed back in a Location: header when following
|
|
|
- locations.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Chin helped me to work out a better configure.in check for zlib, and
|
|
|
- both --without-zlib and -with-zlib seem to work rather well right now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Zvi Har'El improvied the OpenSSL ENGINE check in the configure script to
|
|
|
- become more accurate.
|

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 Oct 2002)
|

|
-Daniel (30 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Modified the curl_version_info() proto and returned struct once again, and
|
|
|
- updated the man page accordingly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Cris Bailiff found out that the pre-releases crashed on name lookups on
|
|
|
- names such as "a:" or "baz:" (on Linux versions not being IPv6-enabled) due
|
|
|
- to some weird return codes from gethostbyname_r(). I'll blame the complete
|
|
|
- lack of docs in that department. Cris provided a fix, which I modified only
|
|
|
- slightly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- After a suggestion from Christian Kurz to Debian curl package maintainer
|
|
|
- Domenico Andreoli, I made it possible to override the proxy environment
|
|
|
- variables better. Now, by setting -x "" you can explicitly tell libcurl to
|
|
|
- not use a proxy, no matter whan the environment variables say.

-Version 7.10-pre4

-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- libcurl could leak memory when downloading multiple files using http ranges,
|
|
|
- reported and fixed by Jean-Luc Guevel.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Walter J. Mack provided code and docs for the new curl_free() function that
|
|
|
- shall be used to free memory that is allocated by libcurl and returned back
|
|
|
- to the application, as curl_escape() and curl_unescape() do.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Yarram Sunil pointed out a flaw in the multi interface where a failed
|
|
|
- connection didn't close down properly and thus a second transfer using the
|
|
|
- same handle failed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed a flaw that made (among other things) dict-fetches
|
|
|
- return a random value.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Wez Furlong brought his initial patch that introduced curl_version_info().
|
|
|
- We might need to tweak it somewhat before release.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Craig Markwardt fixed another Tru64 IP resolve problem.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Dolbneff A.V and Spiridonoff A.V made the file:// code work with resumes
|
|
|
- in the same style other code does.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ilguiz Latypov fixed a flaw in the client code when fetching multiple URLs
|
|
|
- and -C - was used. The first file's resume position was then accidentally
|
|
|
- reused on all the other files too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- The curl_easy_setopt.3 man page was greatly modified and the options have
|
|
|
- now been grouped in logical groups so that it should be somewhat easier to
|
|
|
- read it and find things you search for.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth pinpointed a scary flaw in libcurl, when the HTTP server doesn't
|
|
|
- send any headers back, only raw content. Right, that is a violation of the
|
|
|
- standard but still happens at times and we need to deal with it. Test case
|
|
|
- 306 was added to verify that we do right now.

-Version 7.10-pre3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Lukasz Czekierda found out that curl didn't send a correct HTTP Host: header
|
|
|
- when you specified the URL with an IPv6 IP-address.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Sven Neuhaus made --silent being acknowledged even when multiple URLs
|
|
|
- were used. It used to output "[1/2]: http://host/a.html.de --> a.html.d" etc
|
|
|
- even when told to shut up.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- Updated all source code headers to use MIT-license references only, and

- point to the COPYING file and the https://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html
|
|
|
- URL. I've cut out all references to MPL that I could find.

|
-Version 7.10-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 Sep 2002)
|
|
|
-- James Gallagher added Content-Encoding support to libcurl so now curl and
|
|
|
- libcurl-using apps can request compressed contents using the 'deflate'
|
|
|
- method. See the special file lib/README.encoding for details.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl --compressed is now used to request compressed contents.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl-config --feature will include 'libz' if this feature was around when
|
|
|
- the library was built.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Applied an anonymous SOCKS5-proxy patch. Not properly working in all
|
|
|
- situations though, as all getaddrinfo()-using libcurls will fail on this.
|
|
|
- This is because of the somewhat naive way the current code tries to extract
|
|
|
- the IP address of the proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed up the SSL cert fixes from the other day even more after more inputs
|
|
|
- from Cris. Added three new SSL error codes to make the
|
|
|
- CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR slightly less overloaded.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- After lots of talk with Tom Zerucha, Nick Gimbrone and Cris Bailiff I
|
|
|
- decided to talk the bold path and I now made libcurl do CA certificate
|
|
|
- verification by default. Thus library users need to explicitly turn this off
|
|
|
- if you want to connect to sites without proper checking. We also install a
|
|
|
- CA cert bundle on 'make install' now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The curl tool now requires the -k/--insecure option in order to allow
|
|
|
- connections and operations on SSL sites that aren't properly verified with
|
|
|
- -cafile or --capath.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl-config --ca displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Andrew Francis cleaned up some code that now compiles fine without the need
|
|
|
- for ugly MSVC pragmas.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Keith MacDonald found a minor bug in src/main.c that made it close stdin
|
|
|
- instead of the actual file handle. It shouldn't have resulted in much
|
|
|
- trouble as most operating systems close all file handles on process exit
|
|
|
- anyway.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Markus Oberhumer provided some documentation for his previously provided
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL fix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Patched the lib/Makefile.am to hopefully no longer complain on undefined

- symbols that seemed to occur on builds with shared OpenSSL libraries on
|
|
|
- Solaris lately...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Fixed compiler warnings on MSCV++ compiles. We're looking for help here:
|
|
|
- remove the pragmas from lib/config-win32.h and adjust the sources where
|
|
|
- the warnings occur. Hiding them with pragmas like this is not the correct
|
|
|
- way of dealing with compiler warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Ulrich Zadow made the global include files in curl/* include themselves
|
|
|
- using "curl.h" instead of <curl/curl.h> which thus allows people to more
|
|
|
- freely decide how to include curl and how to setup their include paths.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Sterling Hughes added the curl_share* interface, somewhat as discussed
|
|
|
- previously.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jörn Hartroth pointed out that poll() was used in the pre1 source code and

-Daniel (12 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Applied my initial take on making the multi stuff more asynchronous. Connects
|
|
|
- should now return back without "hanging" until it has connected for real.
|
|
|
- This should also be the case for FTP-PASV connects.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (9 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Applied Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer's patch that introduces CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL,
|
|
|
- which effectively prevents libcurl from doing anything that may cause
|
|
|
- signals to get sent. This is basicly for multi-threaded applications that
|
|
|
- now can use timeouts properly, without risking any signals to burst in and
|
|
|
- ruin the party.

|
-Daniel (5 Aug 2002)
|
|
|
-- Lukasz Czekierda reported that RFC2732-style literal IPv6 addresses didn't

|
|
|
- work!
|

|
|
|
- extract and use the local IP address used by the control connection.

-Daniel (30 Jul 2002)
|
|
|
-- Priya Ramakrishnan and Ryan Jones compiles curl/curl.h with a C++ compiler
|

- and don't get __STDC__ defined, which required us to extend the preprocessor
|
|
|
- check for the ## operator usage.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Correct the description for CURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION, if set to NULL the

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- danfuzz at milk.com found out that libcurl badly assumed a space after

|
|
|

|
|
-Daniel (29 Jul 2002)
|
|
|
-- The password prompt asking for user password used stdout and now uses
|
|

|
|
- handle that is now fixed.
|
|
|
-

|
|
|
-- Chris Combes pointed out a flaw in curl_escape(). I fixed. We no longer
|

|
|
- are translated by curl_unescape().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 Jun 2002)
|
|
|
-- Added --limit-rate to the curl tool. Allows the user to set a maxmimum
|
|
|
- upper limit to how much bandwidth to use for transfers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE was added to libcurl. This sets a prefered size for the
|
|
|
- receive buffer in libcurl. The main point of this would be that the write

- resolver library traps EINTR. The use of sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() for
|
|
|
- this may be a bit drastic, and also not likely to exist on all platforms. I
|
|
|
- added careful checking for this in the configure script, even checks for it
|
|
|
- being a macro (which seems to be the case in for example Linux).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- sigsetjmp() seems to be mentioned in the Single Unix specification.

-- Miklos Nemeth brought a patch that allows libcurl to get built with specific
|
|
|
- protocols disabled. This is done by running ./configure
|
|
|
- --disable-[protocol].
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- FTP range downloads could make CURLE_FTP_WRITE_ERROR get returned. We now
|
|
|
- make precautions to not return this for range downloads.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test case 135 that makes an ftp range download. Had to tweak the
|
|
|
- runtests.pl script a bit too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #566835 identified a strlen() on a NULL pointer. Added additional

|
|
|
-- Found and corrected a connect failure problem that didn't create a human
|
|
|
- error text.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added code to compile with OpenSSL 0.9.7. Based on patch from Jacob Meuser

|
|
|
- matter when you decide to remove the CURL handle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- HAVE_RAND_STATUS was added to lib/config-win32.h by Andreas Olsson, as it
|
|
|
- makes windows builds stop complaining about "weak seeding" when it in fact
|
|
|
- isn't.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Another 64bit architecture crash that was introduced in 7.9.7 was now
|
|
|
- removed, as bug report #564585 clarified. This happened due to our attempts
|
|
|
- to only allocate only as much memory as is actually needed for name
|
|
|
- resolving (using realloc) which called for a function that could 'move' a
|
|
|
- hostent struct in memory.

|
|
|
-- T. Bharath fixed the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME to return a correct time and
|
|
|
- made the CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE return the correct total request size. He
|
|
|
- also made the win32 timers use higher resolution than before.

-Daniel (29 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Renaud Chaillat made me aware of the fact that libcurl returned an error if
|
|
|
- you tried to get an empty FTP file. This seemed like a wrong thing to do, so
|
|
|
- now it no longer does that! I just hope that no one built anything fancy
|
|
|
- upon this unexpected behavior...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Cris Bailiff brought CURLOPT_CAPATH that works like CURLOPT_CAINFO but
|
|
|
- specifies a path to a directory with certificates rather than a single file
|
|
|
- with them all concatenated. --capath was added to the command line tool
|
|
|
- for the same function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Windows users need to pay attention that the directory should be setup with
|
|
|
- the c_rehash tool of the OpenSSL package, and that creates symlinks by
|
|
|
- default that need to be replaced with actual copies to work on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gustaf Hui provided new code that changes how curl_multi_info_read()
|
|
|
- messages are stored, so that they don't have to be kept around for the multi
|
|
|
- handle's entire life time. He also made it return failure codes properly
|
|
|
- which it didn't do before.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Gustaf Hui pointed out that running curl_multi_perform() without doing
|
|
|
- curl_multi_fdset() first was not really a working combo. I added an internal
|
|
|
- check for this and have some extra select() code without timeout to make the
|
|
|
- library internals work identically nevertheless. We might need to somehow
|
|
|
- either document that once you've used the *_fdset() you should remain using
|
|
|
- them in select() or you should blank them somehow so that libcurl won't go
|
|
|
- crazy.

-Daniel (22 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- James Cone brought an excellent patch, including several tests and docs!
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_NETRC now takes an enum as argument instead of the previous boolean.
|
|
|
- --netrc-optional was introduced as an addition to --netrc to allow the
|
|
|
- command line client to take use of all that new netrc stuff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #558888 showed a case where libcurl re-used the previous host
|
|
|
- name when a connection over a proxy was re-used but to a different target
|
|
|
- host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Edin Kadribasic helped me sort out a problem to made libcurl crash when
|
|
|
- trying to HTTP POST an empty string.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Clarified that Juergen Wilke donated the original tests/server/sws.c code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre made curl_formadd() return a typedef named
|
|
|
- CURLFORMcode instead of the previous 'int', and the various return codes are
|
|
|
- now globally exported. It allows applications to better figure out what goes
|
|
|
- wrong when curl_formadd() returns errors.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 May 2002)
|
|

-- Bug report #556869 pointed out that src/writeout.c didn't compile on freebsd
|
|
|
- after my AIX fixes the other week.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #556930 pointed out a FreeBSD core dump introduced in 7.9.7 in
|
|
|
- the DNS struct realloc stuff. Actually, this crash could happen on all
|
|
|
- systems that made the pack_hostent() function get invoked.

-Daniel (10 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth adjusted the --trace-ascii output slightly.
|
|

|
-Version 7.9.7-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Updated the man page with --trace-ascii and -j/--junk-session-cookies.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made --trace-ascii do pretty much the same as --trace but without the hex
|
|
|
- part in the output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION that when enabled makes libcurl ignore session
|
|
|
- cookies read from a file. This option is enforced by the curl command line
|
|
|
- tool using the new -j/--junk-session-cookies option. After discussions with
|
|
|
- Kevin Roth. This makes it easier to use curl to fully emulate a browser's
|
|
|
- behavior, even when it comes to "session cookies". Session cookies are
|
|
|
- cookies that a normal browser discards when the browser is shut
|
|
|
- down. They're identified by not having any expire date/time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA was set, it ruined the CURLOPT_STDERR setting and
|
|
|
- this was discovered when --trace was made to crash.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Using -v and --trace at the same time confused matters. -v is now pretty
|
|
|
- much ignored when --trace or --trace-ascii is used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made --trace (and --trace-ascii) support - as file name to pass output to
|
|
|
- stdout instead. It makes it consistent with how other options work.

|
-Daniel (6 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Added multi-post.c to the examples directory. I got the basic source for
|
|
|
- this from Gustaf Hui.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is now an exported #define in the curl/curl.h header and
|
|
|
- can be used to figure out the maximum buffer size your write callback can
|
|
|
- get.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_READDATA is now an alias for CURLOPT_INFILE and CURLOPT_WRITEDATE is
|
|
|
- an alias for CURLOPT_FILE. These two were added for conformity. Most other
|
|
|
- callback function's userdata are provided with options using a similar name-
|
|
|
- scheme.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added "--trace [file]" to the command line tool. It makes a very detailed
|
|
|
- trace dump get stored, with a full protocol dump that includes all received
|
|
|
- and transmitted data. This could be a very effective tool for debugging what
|
|
|
- goes wrong. This dump includes every byte the way it is sent to/received
|
|
|
- from the server. The dump is the plain-text version, so SSL transfers will
|
|
|
- still be readable.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I found out that the DEBUGFUNCTION was not called properly everywhere as we
|
|
|
- wanted it to. I fixed it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- -D now stores all headers to the same file if multiple URLs are given on the
|
|
|
- command line! Kevin Roth made me aware of that it didn't already do this!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gustaf Hui wrote an excellent formpost example that used the multi
|
|
|
- interface. Unfortunately, it didn't work due to several bugs in how
|
|
|
- transfers were made when the multi interface was used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 May 2002)
|
|
|
-- Hanno Kranzhoff found out that when doing multiple transfers on the same
|
|
|
- easy handle, the progress meter would show a bad "currently downloaded
|
|
|
- value" when the transfer starts.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 May 2002)
|
|

- stuff work properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- curl_multi_info_read() is now implemented!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Updated BUGS, TODO, FAQ, INSTALL and added BINDINGS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I think I fixed the DNS cache prune crach Jacky Lam found and reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I cleaned up the name prefix stuff in the hash and llist modules.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- FTP responses should now be better on timing out properly. The timeout value
|
|
|
- is maximum timeout for the entire request operation, but before this, the
|
|
|
- timeout was used as a maximum allowed time between two reads...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the test suite http server to not use snprintf() anymore due to better
|
|
|
- portability.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- With Sterling Hughes' new DNS pruning, Jacky Lam asked if this wouldn't
|
|
|
- cause problems since the pruning is only checking the entry time, and it
|
|
|
- sure could cause problems. Therefor, I've now added and changed code so that
|
|
|
- this should not be a problem. Nowhere in the code will be store name
|
|
|
- resolved information around so that a sunsequent DNS cache prune should
|
|
|
- cause a problem. This of course called for some mild internal changes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Improved the 'no_proxy' check, as using port numbers in the URL confused it
|
|
|
- previously. Reported by Erwan Legrand in bug report #547484.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The --interface option now works even on IPv6 enabled builds. Reported by
|
|
|
- 'thor'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- The #defines names starting with TIMECOND now has CURL_ prefixes. (The old
|
|
|
- names are still #defined too.) Pointed out by Robert Olson.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jacky Lam brought code that lets the name resolve function only use as much
|
|
|
- memory as it actually needs. This only works on certain operating systems,
|
|
|
- but is totally transparant to all users.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 April 2002)
|

-- Bjorn Reese fixed pack_hostent to work properly with 64 bit pointers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Sterling Hughes added code to prune old DNS cache entries, since Jacky Lam

|
|
- experienced very big caches.

|
|
-Daniel (17 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske patched the 301 response to work against the RFC but more like
|
|
|
- common browsers do. If a POST get a 301 back, it'll switch to GET in the
|
|
|
- next request (if location-following is enabled).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Dirk Manske posted a patch originally written by Ingo Wilken that introduced

- two new CURLINFO_* values: CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME and
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_REDIRECT_COUNT.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Jonatan Lander patched the verbose text 'Disables POST, goes with GET' to
|
|
|
- reflect reality better, like when the first request isn't POST and when
|
|
|
- the second isn't GET... :-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Craig Davison pointed out that when curl_formadd()ing a file that doesn't
|
|
|
- exist, libcurl doesn't return error. Now, curl_easy_perform() will return
|
|
|
- CURLE_READ_ERROR if that is the case. Test 41 was added to verify this.

|
|
|
-Daniel (12 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Fixed the TIMER_CONNECT to be more accurate for FTP transfers. Previously
|
|
|
- FTP transfers got the "connect done" time set after the initial FTP commands
|
|
|
- and not directly after the TCP/IP connect as it should.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also made the time stamp get set even if the connect itself fails, which
|
|
|
- it didn't do previously.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre provided his patch that introduces
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA. They allow a program to a set a
|
|
|
- callback to receive debug/information data. That includes headers and data
|
|
|
- that is received and sent. CURLOPT_VERBOSE still controls it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- By default, there is an internal debugfunction that will make things look
|
|
|
- and work as before if not changed.

|
|
-- libcurl-errors.3 is a new man page attempting to document all libcurl error
|

-- Added two new error codes and changed the behaviour of two old ones
|
|
|
- slightly:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLE_WRITE_ERROR
|
|
|
- This error was returned *both* for errors that occured when writing
|
|
|
- received data to a local file, as well as when we get problems writing data
|
|
|
- to a remote server. CURLE_SEND_ERROR has now been added for the latter
|
|
|
- error.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLE_READ_ERROR
|
|
|
- This error was similarly returned *both* for errors when reading a local
|
|
|
- file, as well as when getting problems when reading network data.
|
|
|
- CURLE_RECV_ERROR has now been added for the latter error.

|
- (Two test cases were adjusted accordingly.)

|
-Daniel (8 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Michael Curtis provided new functionality for curl on some platforms. Using
|
|
|
- the --environment option, curl will *set* a bunch of environment variables
|
|
|
- to values. The names are the same ones as for the -w/--writeout option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- For now, this only works on the RISC OS version, as this feature relies on
|
|
|
- both OS support and that it matches OS paradigms.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jacky Lam provided a fix for getting headers-only when the reply is HTTP/1.0

-
|
|

-- Kevin Roth pointed out to me why the "19 March" change regarding -G and -I

-Daniel (3 April 2002)
|
|
|
-- Jacky Lam identified a glitch when getting headers-only, where libcurl would
|
|
|
- "hang" 1 second in vain in the select() loop before returning back.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tor Arntsen brought a patch for multipart formposts. It turned out that the
|
|
|
- "CGI_Lite Perl package" makes some bad assumptions on what letters that may
|
|
|
- be used in boundary strings and thus curl could confuse it by including '+'
|
|
|
- and '/'. While this is standards-compliant, we change the behavior to work

-Daniel (20 March 2002)

|
-- Peter Verhas found out that CRLF replacement in uploads was not working. I
|
|
|
- fixed it, and added test case 128 that verifies the functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The list formerly known as curl-main is now named curl-users and is hosted

-Version 7.9.6-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Made -G and -I on the same command line cause an error.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Moved the multi.h file to the "public" include directory and made it get
|
|
|
- included by curl.h so that no extra include files will be necessary to use
|
|
|
- it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added docs and man pages for the multi interface to the release archive.
|
|
|
- Added the three example source codes too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Necessary steps in my campaign to sneak in the multi interface... ;-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Updated the year in all copyright notices in all C and H files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Tomas Szepe found out that -d and -G didn't mix as they should. I broke this
|
|
|
- in 7.9.5... Added test case 32 for this.

-Version 7.9.6-pre1

|
|
-Daniel (16 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Peter Verhas pointed out that the curl_escape and curl_unscape man pages
|
|
|
- contained factual errors.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Choy found and corrected a problem with the verbose output when doing
|
|
|
- PASV ftp transfers. It could make libcurl crash.
|

|
-Daniel (15 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino filed bug report #530204 that clearly pointed out
|
|
|
- the PF_INET fix from February 19 as a not-very-good fix as it broke IPv6
|
|
|
- capability! That patch is now reverted.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The problem with slow name lookups with getaddrinfo() on non-IPv6 enabled
|
|
|
- hosts are instead made by first checking if the stack is IPv6-enabled and if
|
|
|
- not, the PF_INET is used and otherwise we go with the full PF_UNSPEC.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath pointed out that when we return an "error" from a WRITEFUNCTION
|
|
|
- as described in the man page, libcurl did not return the documented error
|
|
|
- code (CURLE_WRITE_ERROR) but would instead return CURLE_READ_ERROR. This is
|
|
|
- now corrected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Setting CURLOPT_POST without setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS now read the POST-
|
|
|
- data from the callback.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The GOPHER support seems to be broken. I don't think I'll even start fixing
|
|
|
- it until someone else finds out... :-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Trying 'curl -I ftp.sunet.se' or similar did a SIZE on a silly "(nil)"
|
|
|
- string. If such a file would be present, curl returned the size of it! Now
|
|
|
- we prevent this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Curl_sendf() was fixed to deal with situation where Curl_write() would've
|
|
|
- blocked and thus return -1.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Setting CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION to NULL now restores the internal function.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- All CURLFORM_* options can now be used in a CURLFORM_ARRAY except the
|
|
|
- CURLFORM_ARRAY itself. This was necessary since we couldn't expand the
|
|
|
- CURLFORM_* list proprely and unrestricted until this was the case. It was
|
|
|
- also a bit peculiar to users why some options could be used in an array
|
|
|
- while others couldn't.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Removed some silly CRLF lines that had accidentally slipped into src/main.c
|
|
|
- Nico Baggus pointed them out to me.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- CURLFORM_FILENAME was added. This can be set when creating a file upload
|
|
|
- part, to set the 'filename' field to a custom value. If this isn't used,
|
|
|
- the actually used filename will be included instead (as libcurl always has
|
|
|
- done). curl was adjusted accordingly, and now -F accepts a 'filename=' field
|
|
|
- too, and allows constructs such as:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- -F 'name=@filename;filename=/dev/null'
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- and this can be combined with type= too, in a manner similar to:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- -F "file=@log/test39.txt;filename=fakerfile;type=moo/foobar"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Test case 39 was added to verify this functionality.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The struct formerly known as HttpPost is now named curl_httppost to properly
|
|
|
- use the curl name space. I added a #define for the old name to make existing
|
|
|
- programs compile even when this new include file is used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Clifford also discovered that if the client code failed early, as when doing
|
|
|
- "curl -O" only, it would do fclose(NULL) which caused a segmentation fault
|
|
|
- on some systems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Clifford Wolf provided a patch that made --progress-bar work again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I closed bug report #527032 by making sure that we add a newline after a
|
|
|
- transfer when --progress-bar has been used. Before, without the newline, it
|
|
|
- made the subsequent text come out wrong.

|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Added docs/KNOWN_BUGS to the release archive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth corrected a flaw in the curl client globbing code that made it
|
|
|
- mess up backslashes. This was most notable on windows (cygwin) machines when
|
|
|
- using file://.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Brad provided another fix for building outside the source-tree.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ralph Mitchell patched away a few compiler warnings in tests/server/sws.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- I noticed that the typedef in curl.h for the progress callback prototype was
|
|
|
- wrong and thus applications that used it would not get the proper input
|
|
|
- data. It used size_t where the implementation actually uses doubles!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I wish I could blame someone else, but this was my fault. Again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre6
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Cut off the changes done during 2001 from this changelog file and put them
|
|
|
- in a separate file (CHANGES.2001), available from CVS of course.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I removed the multi directory. The example sources were moved to the
|
|
|
- docs/examples directory where they belong.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Wrote 7 new man pages for the current functions in the new multi interface.
|
|
|
- They're all still pretty basic, but we can use them as a start and add more
|
|
|
- contents to them when we figure out what to write. The large amount of man
|
|
|
- pages for libcurl now present made me decide to put them in a new separate
|
|
|
- subdirectory in the docs directory. Named libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Giuseppe Corbelli provided a template file for the EPM package manager, it
|
|
|
- gets generated nicely by the configure script now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre5
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 March 2002)
|
|
|
-- Moved the memanalyze.pl script into the tests/ dir and added it to the
|
|
|
- release archives. It was previously only present in the CVS tree.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Modified the February 17th Host: fix, as bug report #523718 pointed out that
|
|
|
- it caused crashes!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Nico Baggus added more error codes to the VMS stuff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Wesley Laxton brought the code that introduced the new CURLOPT_PREQUOTE
|
|
|
- option. It is just another FTP quote option that allows the user to specify
|
|
|
- a list of FTP commands to issue *just before* the transfer command (RETR or
|
|
|
- STOR etc). It has turned up a few systems that really need this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The curl command line tool can also take advantage of this by prefixing the
|
|
|
- quote commands with a plus (+) in similar style that post transfer quote
|
|
|
- commands are specified.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is not yet documented. There is no test case for this yet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Ralph Mitchell made some serious efforts and put a lot of sweat in setting
|
|
|
- up scripts and things for me to be able to repeat his problems, and I
|
|
|
- finally could. I found a problem with the header byte counter that wasn't
|
|
|
- increased properly and thus we could return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING when we in
|
|
|
- fact had received data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- I had to revert the non-space parsing cookie fix I posted to the mailing
|
|
|
- list. Expire dates do have spaces and still need to get parsed properly!
|
|
|
- Instead we just ignore trailing white space and it seems to work...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Made the cookie property 'Max-Age' work, just since we already tried to
|
|
|
- support it, it is better to do it right. No one uses this anyway.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The cookie parser could crash if a really weird (illegal) cookie line was
|
|
|
- received. I also made it better discard really oddly formatted lines better.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Made the cookie jar store the second field from the left using the syntax
|
|
|
- that Netscape and Mozilla probably like. Curl itself ignores it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Added test case 31 for these cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Clay Loveless' email regarding some cookie issues started my cleanup.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth pointed out that my automake fiddles broke the ability to build
|
|
|
- outside the source-tree and I posted a patch to the mailing list that brings
|
|
|
- this ability back.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre4
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Fiddled with the automake files to make all source files in the lib
|
|
|
- directory not have ../src in the include path, and the src sources shouldn't
|
|
|
- have ../lib!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- All 79 test cases ran OK under Linux and Solaris using the new HTTP server
|
|
|
- in the test suite. The new HTTP server was first donated by Georg Horn and
|
|
|
- subsequently modified to work with the test suite. It is currently still not
|
|
|
- portable enough to run on "all over" but this is a start and I can run all
|
|
|
- curl tests on my machines. This is an important requirement for the upcoming
|
|
|
- public release.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Using -d and -I on the same command line now reports an error, as it implies
|
|
|
- two different HTTP requests that can't be mixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeffrey Pohlmeyer provided a patch that made the -w/--write-out option
|
|
|
- support %{content_type} to get the content type of the recent download.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth reported that pre2 and pre3 didn't compile properly on cygwin,
|
|
|
- and this was because I used #ifdef HAVE_WINSOCK_H in lib/multi.h to figure
|
|
|
- out if we could include winsock.h which turns out not to be a wise choice to
|
|
|
- do on cygwin since it has the file but can't include it!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Added src/config-vms.h to the release archive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the connection timeout value again, the change from February 18 wasn't
|
|
|
- complete.

|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth and Andrés García both found out that lib/config.h.in was missing
|
|
|
- in the pre-release archive and thus the configure script failed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García provided a solution to bug report #515228. the total time
|
|
|
- counter was not set correctly when -I was used during some conditions (all
|
|
|
- headers were read in one single read).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Nico Baggus provided a huge patch with minor tweaks all over to make curl
|
|
|
- compile nicely on VMS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Rick Richardson found out that by replacing PF_UNSPEC with PF_INET in the
|
|
|
- getaddrinfo() calls, he could speed up some name resolving calls with an
|
|
|
- order of magnitudes on his Redhat Linux 7.2.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Philip Gladstone found a second INADDR_NONE problem where we used long
|
|
|
- intead of in_addr_t which caused 64bit problemos. We really shouldn't define
|
|
|
- that on two different places.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (18 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Philip Gladstone found a problem in how HTTP requests were sent if the
|
|
|
- request couldn't be sent all at once.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Emil found and corrected a bad connection timeout comparison that made curl
|
|
|
- use the longest of connect-timeout and timout as a timeout value, instead of
|
|
|
- the shortest as it was supposed to!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Aron Roberts provided updated information about LDAP URL syntax to go into
|
|
|
- the manual as a replacement for the old references.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Philip Gladstone pointed out two missing include files that made curl core
|
|
|
- dump on 64bit architectures. We need to pay more attention on these details.
|
|
|
- It is *lethal* to for example forget the malloc() prototype, as 'int' is
|
|
|
- 32bit and malloc() must return a 64bit pointer on these platforms.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Giaslas Georgios fixed a problem with Host: headers on repeated requests on
|
|
|
- the same handle using a proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Hanno L. Kranzhoff accurately found out that disabling the Expect: header
|
|
|
- when doing multipart formposts didn't work very well. It disabled other
|
|
|
- parts of the request header too, resulting in a broken header. When I fixed
|
|
|
- this, I also noticed that the Content-Type wasn't possible to disable. It is
|
|
|
- now, even though it probably is really stupid to try to do this (because of
|
|
|
- the boundary string that is included in the internally generated header,
|
|
|
- used as form part separator.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- I moved the config*.h files from the root directory to the lib/ directory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I've added the new test suite HTTP server to the CVS repository, It seems to
|
|
|
- work pretty good now, but we must make it get used by the test scripts
|
|
|
- properly and then we need to make sure that it compiles, builds and runs on
|
|
|
- most operating systems.
|
|
|

|
|
-Version 7.9.5-pre1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Miklos Nemeth provided updated windows makefiles and INSTALL docs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Mr Larry Fahnoe found a problem with formposts and I managed to track down
|
|
|
- and patch this bug. This was actually two bugs, as the posted size was also
|
|
|
- said to be two bytes too large.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Brent Beardsley found out and brought a correction for the
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE parser that was off one byte. This was my fault, I
|
|
|
- accidentaly broke Giaslas Georgios' patch.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth found yet another SSL download problem.

|
-Version 7.9.4-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Eric Melville provided a few spelling corrections in the curl man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 February 2002)
|
|
|
-- Andreas Damm corrected the unconditional use of gmtime() in getdate, it now
|
|
|
- uses gmtime_r() on all hosts that have it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- An anonymous bug report identified a problem in the DNS caching which made it
|
|
|
- sometimes allocate one byte too little to store the cache entry in. This
|
|
|
- happened when the port number started with 1!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Chin provided a patch that improves the gethostbyname_r() configure
|
|
|
- check on HP-UX 11.00.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.9.4-pre1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn found another way the SSL reading failed due to the non-blocking
|
|
|
- state of the sockets! I fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Multipart formposts now send the full request properly, including the CRLF.
|
|
|
- They were previously treated as part of the post data.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The upload byte counter bugged.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time-
|
|
|
- consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched
|
|
|
- libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded
|
|
|
- status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If the random_file or egdsocket is set, the seed will be re-made though.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets
|
|
|
- curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Kjetil Jacobsen found a way to crash curl and after much debugging, it
|
|
|
- turned out it was a IPv4-linux only problem introduced in 7.9.3 related to
|
|
|
- name resolving.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andreas Damm posted a huge patch that made the curl_getdate() function fully
|
|
|
- reentrant!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Steve Marx pointed out that you couldn't mix CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST with
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. You can now!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Krishnendu Majumdar pointed out that the header length counter was not reset
|
|
|
- between multiple requests on the same handle.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Pedro Neves rightfully questioned why curl always append \r\n to the data
|
|
|
- that is sent in HTTP POST requests. Unfortunately, this broke the test suite
|
|
|
- as the test HTTP server is lame enough not to deal with this... :-O
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Following Location: headers when the connection didn't close didn't work as
|
|
|
- libcurl didn't properly stop reading. This problem was added in 7.9.3 due to
|
|
|
- the restructured internals. 'Frank' posted a bug report about this.
|

-Daniel (23 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Andrés García found a persistancy problem when doing HTTP HEAD, that made
|
|
|
- curl "hang" until the connection was closed by the server. This problem has
|
|
|
- been introduced in 7.9.3 due to internal rewrites, this was not present in
|
|
|
- 7.9.2.

-Daniel (19 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Antonio filed bug report #505514 and provided a fix! When doing multipart
|
|
|
- formposts, libcurl would include an error text in the actual post if a
|
|
|
- specified file wasn't found. This is not libcurl's job. Instead we add an
|
|
|
- empty part.

-Daniel (18 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Played around with stricter compiler warnings for gcc (when ./configure
|
|
|
- --enable-debug is used) and changed some minor things to stop the warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Commented out the 'long long' and 'long double' checks in configure.in, as
|
|
|
- we don't currently use them anyway and the code in lib/mprintf.c that use
|
|
|
- them causes warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Saul Good and jonatan pointed out Mac OS X build problems with pre3 and how
|
|
|
- to correct them. Two compiler warnings were removed as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García fixed two minor mingw32 building problems.

|
|
-- docs/libcurl-the-guide is a new tutorial for our libcurl programming
|
|
|
- friends.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Richard Archer brought back the ability to compile and build with OpenSSL
|
|
|
- versions before 0.9.5.
|
|
|
- [https://sourceforge.net/p/curl/bugs/149/]
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The DNS cache code didn't take the port number into account, which made it
|
|
|
- work rather bad on IPv6-enabled hosts (especially when doing passive
|
|
|
- FTP). Sterling fixed it.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (16 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn could make a transfer time-out without error text. I found it and
|
|
|
- corrected it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- SSL writes didn't work, they return an uninitialized value that caused
|
|
|
- havoc all over. Georg Horn experienced this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth patched the curl_version() function to use the proper OpenSSL
|
|
|
- function for version information. This way, curl will report the version of
|
|
|
- the SSL library actually running right now, not the one that had its headers
|
|
|
- installed when libcurl was built. Mainly intersting when running with shared
|
|
|
- OpenSSL libraries.

|
|
-Daniel (16 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Mofied the main transfer loop and related stuff to deal with non-blocking
|
|
|
- sockets in the upload section. While doing this, I've now separated the
|
|
|
- connection oriented buffers to have one for downloads and one for uploads
|
|
|
- (as two can happen simultaneously). I also shrunk the buffers to 20K
|
|
|
- each. As we have a scratch buffer twice the size of the upload buffer, we
|
|
|
- arrived at 80K for buffers compared with the previous 150K.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added the --cc option to curl-config command as it enables so very cool
|
|
|
- one-liners. Have a go a this one, building the simple.c example:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example simple.c
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- I made all socket reads (recv) handle EWOULDBLOCK. I hope nicely. Now we
|
|
|
- only need to address all writes (send) too and then I'm ready for another
|
|
|
- pre-release...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stoned Elipot patched the in_addr_t configure test to make it work better on
|
|
|
- more platforms.
|

|
|
|
-Daniel (9 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Cris Bailiff found out that filling up curl's SSL session cache caused a
|
|
|
- crash!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Posted the curl questionnaire on the web site. If you haven't posted your
|
|
|
- opinions there yet, go there and do it now while it is still there:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- https://curl.haxx.se/q/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn quickly found out that the SSL reading no longer worked as
|
|
|
- supposed since the switch to non-blocking sockets. I've made a quick patch
|
|
|
- (for reading only) but we should improve it even further.
|

|
-Version 7.9.3-pre1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- I made the 'bool' typedef use an "unsigned char". It makes it the same on
|
|
|
- all platforms, no matter what the platform thinks the default format for
|
|
|
- char is. This was noticed since we made a silly comparison involving such a
|
|
|
- bool variable, and only one compiler/platform combination (on Debian Linux)
|
|
|
- complained about it (that happened to have its char unsigned by default).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug report #495290 identified a cookie parsing problem that was corrected.
|
|
|
- When a Set-Cookie: line is received without a trailing semicolon, libcurl
|
|
|
- didn't read the last "name=value" pair of the line, leading to confusions...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Sterling committed his updated DNS cache code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switched
|
|
|
- curl's socket operations completely over to non-blocking for the entire
|
|
|
- operation (previously we used non-blocking only for the connection phase).
|
|
|
- We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout properly without
|
|
|
- the use of signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath pointed out a slightly obscure cookie engine flaw.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Pete Su pointed out that libcurl didn't treat HTTP code 204 as it should.
|
|
|
- 204-replies never provides a response-body. This resulted in bad persistant
|
|
|
- behavior when 204 was received.

-Daniel (5 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- SM updated the VC++ library Makefiles for the new source files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- I discovered that we wrongly used inet_ntoa() (instead of inet_ntoa_r() in
|
|
|
- two places in the source code). One happened with VERBOSE set on connects,
|
|
|
- and the other when VERBOSE was on and krb4 over nat was used... I honestly
|
|
|
- don't think anyone has suffered from these mistakes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I replaced a lot of silly occurances of printf() to instead use the more
|
|
|
- appropriate Curl_infof() or Curl_failf(). The krb4 and telnet code were
|
|
|
- affected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Philip Gladstone found a few more problems with 64-bit archs (the 64-bit
|
|
|
- sparc on solaris 8).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- After discussions on the libcurl list with Raoul Cridlig, I just made FTP
|
|
|
- response lines get passed to the header callback if such a one is
|
|
|
- registered. It'll make it possible for any application to get all the
|
|
|
- responses an FTP server sends to libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Sterling Hughes brought a few buckets of code. Now, libcurl will
|
|
|
- automatically cache DNS lookups and re-use the previous results first if any
|
|
|
- such is available. It greatly improves speed when doing many repeated
|
|
|
- operations to the same host.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- As the test case uses --include and then --head, I had to modify src/main.c
|
|
|
- to deal with this situation slightly better than previously. When done, we
|
|
|
- have 100% good tests again in the main branch.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 January 2002)
|
|
|
-- Made test case 25 run again in the multi-dev branch. But it seems that the
|
|
|
- changes done on dec-20 made test case 104 cease to work (in both branches).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Philip Gladstone pointed out a few portability problems in the source code
|
|
|
- that didn't compile on 64-bit sparcs using Sun's native compiler.
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Björn Stenberg caught an unpleasent (but hard-to-find) bug that could cause
|
|
|
- libcurl to hang on transfers over proxy, when the proxy was specified with
|
|
|
- an environment variable!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added code to make ftp operations treat the NO_BODY and HEADERS options
|
|
|
- better:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NO_BODY set TRUE and HEADERS set TRUE:
|
|
|
- Return a set of headers with file info
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NO_BODY set FALSE
|
|
|
- Transfer data as usual, HEADERS is ignored
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NO_BODY set TRUE and HEADERS set FALSE
|
|
|
- Don't transfer any data, don't return any headers. Just perform the set
|
|
|
- of FTP commands.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Götz Babin-Ebell dove into the dark dungeons of the OpenSSL ENGINE stuff and
|
|
|
- made libcurl support it! This allows libcurl to do SSL connections with the
|
|
|
- private key stored in external hardware.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To make this good, he had to add a bunch of new library options that'll be
|
|
|
- useful to others as well:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLCERTTYPE set SSL cert type (PEM/DER)
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLKEY set SSL private key (file)
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLKEYTYPE: set SSL key type (PEM/DER/ENG)
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD: set the passphrase for your private key
|
|
|
- (CURLOPT_SSLCERTPASSWD is an alias)
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLENGINE: set the name of the crypto engine
|
|
|
- (returns CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND on error)
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_SSLENGINE_DEFAULT: set the default engine
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- There are two new failure codes:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_NOTFOUND
|
|
|
- CURLE_SSL_ENGINE_SETFAILED
|

-Daniel (14 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- We have "branched" the source-tree at a few places. Checkout the CVS sources
|
|
|
- with the 'multi-dev' label to get the latest multi interface development
|
|
|
- tree. The idea is to only branch affected files and to restrict the branch
|
|
|
- to the v8 multi interface development only.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- *NOTE* that if we get bug reports and patches etc, we might need to apply
|
|
|
- them in both branches!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The multi-dev branch is what we are gonna use as main branch in the future
|
|
|
- if it turns out successful. Thus, we must maintain both now in case we need
|
|
|
- them. The current main branch will be used if we want to release a 7.9.3 or
|
|
|
- perhaps a 7.10 release before version 8. Which is very likely.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Marcus Webster provided code for the new CURLFORM_CONTENTHEADER option for
|
|
|
- curl_formadd(), that lets an application add a set of headers for that
|
|
|
- particular part in a multipart/form-post. He also provided a section to the
|
|
|
- man page that describes the new option.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Ben Greear made me aware of the fact that the Curl_failf() usage internally
|
|
|
- was a bit sloppy with adding newlines or not to the error messages. Let's
|
|
|
- once and for all say that they do not belong there!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When uploading files with -T to give a local file name, and you end the URL
|
|
|
- with a slash to have the local file name used remote too, we now no longer
|
|
|
- use the local directory as well. Only the file part of the -T file name
|
|
|
- will be appended to the right of the slash in the URL.

|
-Daniel (7 December 2001)

|
-- Michal Bonino pointed out that Digital Unix doesn't have gmtime_r so the

-Daniel (5 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Jon Travis found out that if you used libcurl and CURLOPT_UPLOAD and then
|
|
|
- on the same handle used CURLOPT_HTTPGET it would still attempt to upload.
|
|
|
- His suggested fix was perfect.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Incorporated more macos fixes and added four specific files in a new
|
|
|
- subdirectory below src.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 December 2001)
|
|
|
-- Eric Lavigne reported two problems:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- First one in the curl_strnequal() function. I think this problem is rather
|
|
|
- macos 9 specific, as most platform provides a function to use instead of the
|
|
|
- one provided by libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- A second, more important, was in the way we take care of FTP responses. The
|
|
|
- code would read a large chunk of data and search for the end-of-response
|
|
|
- line within that chunk. When found, it would just skip the rest of the
|
|
|
- data. However, when the network connections are special, or perhaps the
|
|
|
- server is, we could actually get more than one response in that chunk of
|
|
|
- data so that when the next invoke to this function was done, the response
|
|
|
- had already been read and thrown away. Now, we cache the data not used in
|
|
|
- one call, as it could be useful in the subsequent call. Test case 126 was
|
|
|
- added and the test ftp server modified, to exercise this particular case.

|
-- Bug report #487825 correctly identified a problem when using a proxy and
|
|
|
- following a redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. libcurl then re-used the same
|
|
|
- proxy connection but without doing a proper HTTPS request.
|
|

-- Documented --disable-epsv and CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 November 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added --disable-epsv as an option. When used, curl won't attempt to use the
|
|
|
- EPSV command when doing passive FTP downloads. Wrote a test case for it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Eric provided a few more fixes for building on Macs. He also pointed out
|
|
|
- a flaw in the signal handler restoration code.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 November 2001)
|
|
|
-- Fiddled with some Tru64 problems reported by Dimitris Sarris. They appeared
|
|
|
- only when using VERBOSE ftp transfers. Do we use a too small buffer for
|
|
|
- gethostbyaddr_r(), was the lack of using in_addr_t wrong or is it that the
|
|
|
- hostent struct must be blanked before use? With Dimitris help and these
|
|
|
- patches, the problems seem to be history.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPSV was added and can be set to FALSE to prevent libcurl
|
|
|
- from using the EPSV command before trying the normal PASV. Heikki Korpela
|
|
|
- pointed out that some firewalls and similar don't like the EPSV so we must
|
|
|
- be able to shut if off to work everywhere.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added a configure check for 'in_addr_t' and made the ftp code use that to
|
|
|
- receive the inet_addr() return code in. Works on Solaris and Linux at
|
|
|
- least. The Linux man page for inet_addr() doesn't even mention in_addr_t...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted (almost) all FTP tests to the new command sequence.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- FTP command sequence changes:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- EPSV is now always attempted before PASV. It is the final touch to make IPv6
|
|
|
- passive FTP downloads to work, but EPSV is not restricted to IPv6 but works
|
|
|
- fine with IPv4 too on the servers that support it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- SIZE is now always issued before RETR. It makes curl know the actual
|
|
|
- download size before the download takes place, as it makes it less important
|
|
|
- to find the size sent in RETR responses. Many sites don't include the size
|
|
|
- in there.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Both these changes made it necessary to change the test suite's ftp server
|
|
|
- code, and all FTP test cases need to be checked and adjusted!
|
|
|

|
-- greep at mindspring.com provided a main index.html page for our release

- I think it may come useful to people.
|
|

-- There's now some initial code to support the EPSV FTP command. That should

-- Andrés García helped me out to track down the roots of bug report #479537,
|
|
|
- which was concerning curl returning the wrong error code when failing to
|
|
|
- connect. This didn't happen on all systems, and more specificly I've so far
|
|
|
- only seen this happen on IPv4-only Linux hosts.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I applied the fixes for the two bugs Eric Lavigne found when doing his MacOS
|
|
|
- port. A missing comma in arpa_telnet.h and a pretty wild write in the FTP
|
|
|
- response reader function. The latter write is however likely to occur in our
|
|
|
- own buffer unless very big FTP server replies (>25K) are read. I've never
|
|
|
- seen such a reply ever, so I think this is a relatively minor risk.

- curl_global_init() => curl_global_cleanup() => curl_global_init(). The

-- Rewrote the Curl_ConnectHTTPProxyTunnel(). It should now not only work a lot
|

- faster, it should also support such ("broken") proxies that John Lask
|
|
|
- previously have reported problems with. His proxy sends a trailing zero byte
|
|
|
- after the end of the (proxy-) headers. I've tested this myself and it seems
|
|
|
- to work on a proxy the previous version also worked with...! This rewrite is
|
|
|
- due to the problems John Lask previously experienced.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García found out why the "current speed" meter sometimes showed 2048K
|
|
|
- for very quick transfers. It turned out the "time diff"-function returned a
|
|
|
- zero millisecond diff. We now always say it is at least one millisecond! In
|
|
|
- reality, these timers very rarely have that good resolution so even though
|
|
|
- the time diff was longer than 1 millisecond, it was reported as no diff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I also modified the getinfo() again when returning times, as Paul Harrington

-- I've added a number of new test cases the last few days. A few of them since
|
|
|
- I got reports that hinted on problems on timeouts, so I added four tests
|
|
|
- with timeouts for all sorts of protocols and stuff. I also came to think of

-- The curl_easy_getinfo() timers accidentally lost their subsecond accuracy as
|
|
|
- the calculations used longs instead of doubles! Paul Harrington reported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The SSL SocketIsDead() checks weren't good enough (as expected really), so I
|
|
|
- had to add a generic internal try-it-out system. If the request on a re-used
|
|
|
- connection seems to fail, then we go back and get a new (fresh) connection
|
|
|
- and re-tries the request on that instead. It kind of makes the
|
|
|
- SocketIsDead() check obsolete, but I think it is a quicker way for those
|
|
|
- cases where it actually discovers that the connection is dead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When fixing the above, I noticed that we did quite a few writes to sockets
|
|
|
- in libcurl where we didn't check the return code (that it actually worked to
|
|
|
- send the data). With the new "attempted request" system we must detect those
|
|

- situations so I went over a bunch of functions, changed return types and

|
|
- more exact, we didn't properly detect that the connection was dead and then
|
|
|
- a second connection would try to re-use it wrongly. The solution to this
|
|

|
|
|
- test certificates in order for me to repeat the bug reports #440068 and
|
|
|
- #440373. It turned out we didn't check all the error codes properly. We do
|
|
|
- now, and connecting with a unacceptable certificate will make libcurl fail
|
|
|
- to connect with an error code returned.
|

-Daniel (13 September 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added curl_easy_duphandle() to the easy.h header file. It has now been

|
-Daniel (3 September 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added the -R/--remote-time option, that uses the remote file's datestamp to
|
|
|
- set the local file's datestamp. Thus, when you get a remote file your local
|
|
|
- file will get the same time and date. Note that this only works when you use
|
|
|
- -o or -O.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Installed libtool 1.4.1, libtoolized and everything.
|

-Daniel (1 September 2001)
|
|
|
-- Heikki Korpela pointed out that I did not ship the proper libtool stuff in

|
|
- the pre-releases, even though that was my intention. libtoolize has now
|
|
|
- been re-run.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Heikki also patched away the bad use of 'make -C' in the test suite

-Daniel (31 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- I just made a huge internal struct rehaul, and all the big internally used
|
|
|
- structs have been renamed, redesigned and stuff have been moved around a bit
|
|
|
- to make the source easier to follow, more logically grouped and to hopefully
|
|
|
- decrease future bugs. I also hope that this will make new functions to get
|
|
|
- easier to add, and make it less likely that we have bugs left like the URL-
|
|
|
- free bug from August 23.

|
-Daniel (29 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- The new cookie code have enabled the brand new '-c/--cookie-jar' option. Use
|
|
|
- that to specify the file name in which you want to have all cookies curl
|
|
|
- knows of, dumped to. It'll be written using the netscape cookie format.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is internally done with the new CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option to libcurl,
|
|
|
- which in turn dumps this information when curl_easy_cleanup() is invoked.
|
|
|
- There might be reasons to re-consider my choice of putting it there. Perhaps
|
|
|
- it is better placed to get done just before *_perform() is done. It is all
|
|
|
- of course depending on how you guys want to use this feature...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added ftpupload.c in the source examples section, based on source code posted

|
-Daniel (28 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Now running libtool CVS branch-1-4 to generate stuff. Should fix problems
|
|
|
- on OpenBSD and hopefully on FreeBSD as well!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Georg Huettenegger modified the curl_formadd() functionality slightly, and
|
|
|
- added support for error code 417 when doing form post and using the Expect:
|
|
|
- header. Great work!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made some tests with cached SSL session IDs, and they seem to work. There
|
|
|
- should be a significant speed improvement in the SSL connection phase, but
|
|
|
- in my tiny tests it just isn't possible to notice any difference. Like other
|
|
|
- caching in libcurl, you must reuse the same handle for the caching to take
|
|
|
- effect. SSL session ID caching is done on a per host-name and destination
|
|
|
- port number basis.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Set verbose, and you'll get informational tests when libcurl detects and
|
|
|
- uses a previous SSL session ID.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Upgraded to automake 1.5 on my development/release machine.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Slowly started writing SSL session ID caching code
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath removed compiler warnings on windows and updated the MS project
|
|
|
- files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth reported two kinds of command line constructs with the new -G that
|
|
|
- curl didn't really deal with the way one would like.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tim Costello patched away a use of strcasecmp() in the SSL code. We have our
|
|
|
- own portable version named strequal() that should be used!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Tim also pointed out a problem in the lib/Makefile.vc6 file that made it mix
|
|
|
- debug object modules causing confusions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath accurately found a libcurl bug that would happen when doing a
|
|
|
- second invoke of curl_easy_perform() with a new URL when the previous invoke
|
|
|
- followed a Location: header.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Started the improvement work on the cookie engine:
|
|
|
- - Now keeps cookies in the same order as the cookie file
|
|
|
- - A write to the possibly static string was removed
|
|
|
- - Added a function that can output all cookies
|
|
|
- - Now supports reading multiple cookie files
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Steve Lhomme corrected a DLL naming issue in the MSVC++ project file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Split up the monster function in lib/ftp.c to use more smallish functions to
|
|
|
- increase readability and maintainability.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Georg Huettenegger's big patch was applied. Now we have:
|
|
|
- o "Expect: 100-continue" support. We will from now on send that header in
|
|
|
- all rfc1867-posts, as that makes us abort much faster when the server
|
|
|
- rejects our POST. Posting without the Expect: header is still possible in
|
|
|
- the standard replace-internal-header style.
|
|
|
- o curl_formadd() is a new formpost building function that is introduced to
|
|
|
- replace the now deprecated curl_formparse() function. The latter function
|
|
|
- will still hang around for a while, but the curl_formadd() is the new way
|
|
|
- and correct way to build form posts.
|
|
|
- o Documentation has been updated to reflect these changes
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- These changes are reason enough to name the next curl release 7.9...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- We now convert man pages to HTML pages and include them in the release
|
|
|
- archive. For the pleasure of everyone without nroff within reach.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García's suggested flushing of the progress meter output stream was
|
|
|
- added. It should make the progress meter look better on Windows.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Troy Engel pointed out a mistake in the configure script that made it fail
|
|
|
- on many Red Hat boxes!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 August 2001)
|

|
|
|
-Version 7.8.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (20 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Brad pointed out that we ship two extra libtool files in the tarballs that
|
|
|
- we really don't need to! Removing them makes the gz-archive about 60K
|
|
|
- smaller!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Chin brought fixes for the configure script to detect socklen_t
|
|
|
- properly as well as moving lots of our custom autoconf macros to

|
|
- acinclude.m4.
|
|

-- Moonesamy improved his -G feature for host names only URLs...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Finally cleaned up the kerberos code to use Curl_ prefixes on all global

|
|
-Version 7.8.1-pre6
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- S. Moonesamy added the -G option to curl, that converts the data specified
|
|
|
- with -d to a GET request. Default action when using -d is POST. When -G is
|
|
|
- used, the -d specified data will be appended to the URL with a '?'
|
|
|
- separator. As suggested previously by Kevin Roth.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- curl-config --libs should now display all linker options required to link
|
|
|
- with libcurl. It includes the path and options for libcurl itself.
|
|
|
- curl-config --cflags displays the compiler option(s) needed to compile
|
|
|
- source files that use libcurl functions. Basically, that sets the include
|
|
|
- path correct.

|
-Daniel (15 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Arkadiusz Miskiewicz pointed out a mistake in how IPv6-style IP-addresses
|

|
- were parsed and used. (RFC2732-format)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Bug #12733 over on php.net identified a problem in libcurl that made it core
|
|
|
- dump if you used CURLOPT_POST without setting any data to post with
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS! This is no longer the case. Not using CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS
|
|
|
- now equals setting it to no data at all.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ramana Mokkapati reported that curl with '-w %{http_code}' didn't work
|
|
|
- properly when used for multiple URLs on a single command line. Indeed, the
|
|
|
- variable was not reset between the requests. This is now fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- David James fixed the Borland makefile so that libcurl still compiles and
|
|
|
- builds with that compiler.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (14 August 2001)
|
|
|
-- Oops. I ruined Nico's socklen_t define in config-vms.h, corrected it now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- An older item not mentioned here before: CURL_GLOBAL_WIN32 is a define for
|
|
|
- windows users to curl_global_init(), that makes libcurl init the winsock
|
|
|
- stuff. If libcurl is all socket stuff you do, then allowing it to fiddle
|
|
|
- with this is a comfortable shortcut to fame.

|
-- Nico Baggus provided more feedback from his VMS porting efforts and a few
|
|
|
- minor changes were necessary.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I modified configure.in so that --enable-debug sets more picky gcc options.
|
|
|
- I then removed almost all the new warnings that appeared, and by doing so I
|
|
|
- corrected the size_t-treated-as-signed problem that has been discussed on
|
|
|
- the mailing list previously. I also removed a bunch of the just recently
|
|
|
- added #ifdef VMS lines.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I removed the use of a global variable in the SSL code. It was once
|
|
|
- necessary but hasn't been needed since OpenSSL 0.9.4. The old code should
|
|
|
- (hopefully) still work if libcurl is built against an ancient version of

-- The redirected error stream was closed before the curl_easy_cleanup() call

-- curl -E uses a colon to separate a file name from a passphrase. This turned
|
|
|
- out really bad for the windows people who wants to include a drive letter in

|
- the file name like "c:\cert.pem". There's now a win32 work-around

|
|
|
-

|

-- Stefan Ulrich pointed out to us that other tools and libraries treat file://
|

-- Sterling Hughes tirelessly points out and corrects my mistakes...! So,

|
- init. CURL_GLOBAL_DEFAULT makes a nice default, CURL_GLOBAL_ALL inits all
|

|
- known subsystems and CURL_GLOBAL_NONE inits nothing more than absolutely
|

- necessary. Man page updated accordingly.

-Daniel (30 May 2001)
|
|
|
-- Made libcurl by default act as if CURLOPT_MUTE and CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS were

-- Sterling Hughes fixed a strtok() problem in libcurl. It is not a thread-

- lib/strtok.c offers one for the systems that don't come with one included!
|
|
|
-
|

|
-- Mettgut Jamalla correctly pointed out that the -# progress bar was written

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I moved out the list of contributors from the curl.1 man page and made a

-- Wrote man pages for curl_global_init and curl_global_cleanup...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath brought news about the usage of the OpenSSL interface that was
|
|
|
- not previously taken into consideration and thus caused libcurl to leak
|
|
|
- memory. The only somewhat sane approach to fix this dilemma, is adding two
|
|
|
- two new functions curl_global_init() and curl_global_cleanup() that should
|
|
|
- be called *ONCE* by the application using libcurl. The init should be done
|
|
|
- only at startup, no matter how many threads the application is gonna use,
|
|
|
- and the cleanup should be called when the application has finished using
|
|
|
- libcurl completely.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- *** UPGRADE NOTICE ***
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- If you write applications using libcurl, you really want to use the two
|
|
|
- functions mentioned above !!!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I can't say I think this is a very beautiful solution, but as OpenSSL
|
|
|
- insists on making lots of stuff on a "global" scope, we're forced to walk
|
|
|
- the path they point us to.

-Daniel (23 May 2001)
|
|
|
-- Introduced a new file format for storing test cases, and thus I had to
|
|
|
- modify all the perl test scripts and more (I added a new one). I have not
|
|
|
- "ported" all the old test cases to the new format yet, but it'll come.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The main advantage of this new format is that all test data for each test
|
|
|
- case is stored in a single file. It gives a better overview for each test
|
|
|
- case and a lot less files.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrés García brought a fix for the netscape/mozilla cookie file parsing
|
|
|
- function, as it turns out it doesn't always store the path!

|
|
|
-Daniel (22 May 2001)
|
|
|
-- As was reported anonymously, when FAILONERROR was used, the httpcode was
|
|
|
- not stored properly and thus wasn't possibly to read after a transfer with
|
|
|
- the curl_easy_getinfo() function. This is now corrected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Installed and made use of the following tool versions:
|
|
|
- autoconf 2.50
|
|
|
- libtool 1.4
|
|
|
- automake 1.4-p1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I wouldn't recommend any developer to try to generate things with older
|
|
|
- versions than these. Building from CVS will probably more or less require
|
|
|
- at least these versions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- As a result of this, the configure script grew to more than double its
|
|
|
- previous size!

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- For systems that don't have theiw own 'strlcat()' libcurl provides its own.
|
|

-- As was discussed with Frederic Lepied a while ago, I now made libcurl not

|
- return error even though no data was transfered on upload/download resume
|
|
|
- when the no transfer is needed. The CURLE_ALREADY_COMPLETE error was removed
|
|

|
- the fact that it can't be returned anymore!
|

-
|
|
|
-- Improved general header-parsing to better allow white spaces and more.

-Daniel (9 May 2001)
|
|
|
-- Getting an FTP file with CURLOPT_NOBODY set (or -I from the command line),

- Anonymous bug report.
|

- chunked and non-chunked transfers.
|
|
|
-

|
-Daniel (26 April 2001)
|
|
|
-- I rewrote the FTP command response function. I had to do it to make ftps
|
|
|
- work, as the OpenSSL read()-function didn't work the same way the normal
|
|
|
- unix read() does, but it was also a huge performance boost. Previously the

|
-- Puneet Pawaia detected a problem with resumed downloads that use persistent

|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added 'curl-config.in' to the root dir and configure script. Now, a

- should be options YOU should use to build applications that use libcurl.
|
|
|
-

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 April 2001)
|
|
|
-- Cris Bailiff pointed out two problems that I corrected. First, libcurl's use
|
|
|
- of the environment variable HTTP_PROXY in uppercase may become a security
|
|
|
- hazard when people use libcurl in a server/cgi situation where the server
|
|
|
- sets the HTTP_*-variables according to incoming headers in the HTTP
|
|
|
- request. Thus, a "Proxy:"-header would set that environment variable!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Then, invoking curl_easy_perform() without having an URL set caused a crash.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- S. Moonesamy brought a patch that make curl use non-blocking connects on
|
|
|
- windows when connection timeout is set, as it allows windows users to set

-- Discussions with Cris Bailiff who writes a Perl interface to libcurl, made
|

- read bad memory during situations when an (ftp) connection attempt failed.
|
|
|
- Also, the lib/Makefile.vc6 was corrected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- More investigations in the Location: following code made me realize that

|
-Daniel (24 March 2001)
|
|

-- Colin Watson reported about a problem and brought a patch that corrected it,

-- S. Moonesamy provided updates on three documents (MANUAL, INSTALL and FAQ).
|

|
-
|
|
|
-- When following a Location:, libcurl would sometimes write to the URL string
|
|
|
- in a way it shouldn't. As the pointer is passed-in to libcurl from an
|
|
|
- application, we can't be allowed to write to it. The particular bug report
|
|
|
- from 'nk' that brought this up was because he had a read-only URL that then
|
|
|
- caused a libcurl crash!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- No longer reads HEAD responses longer than to the last header. Previously,

- curl would read the full reply if the connection was a "close" one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- libcurl did re-use connections way too much. Doing "curl
|
|
|
- http://www.{microsoft,ibm}.com" would make it re-use the connection which

|
- made the second request return very odd results.

|
-Daniel (22 March 2001)
|
|
|
-- Edin Kadribasic made me aware that curl should not re-send POST requests
|
|
|
- when following 302-redirects. I made 302 work like 303 which means curl uses
|
|
|
- GET in the following request(s).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- libcurl now reset the "followed-location" counter on each invoke of
|
|
|
- curl_easy_perform() as it otherwise would sum up all redirects on the same
|
|
|
- connection and thus could reach the maxredirs counter wrongly.
|

|
-- Jim Drash suggested curl_escape() should not re-encode what already looks

|
|
|
- detected but it couldn't figure out how to invoke it (what amount of

- arguments it is supposed to get). Reports from Andrés García made me aware
|
|
|
- of this need.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Talking with Jim Drash made me finally put the curl_escape and curl_unescape
|
|
|
- functions in the curl.h include file and write man pages for them. The

-- Georg Ottinger reported problems with using -C together with -L in the sense
|
|
|
- that the -C info got lost when it was redirected. I could not repeat this
|
|
|
- problem on the 7.7 branch why I leave this for the moment. Test case 39 was
|
|
|
- added to do exactly this, and it seems to do right.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Christian Robottom Reis reported how his 7.7 beta didn't successfully do
|
|
|
- form posts as elegantly as 7.6.1 did. Indeed, this was a flaw in the header
|
|
|
- engine, as HTTP 1.1 has introduced a new 100 "transient" return code for PUT
|
|
|
- and POST operations that I need to add support for. Section 8.2.3 in RFC2616
|
|
|
- has all the details. Seems to work now!

-- Made libcurl return error if a transfer is aborted in the middle of a

|
- even if the Content-Length: size is unknown.

|
|
-Daniel (15 March 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added --connect-timeout to curl, which sets the new CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT
|
|
|
- option in libcurl. It limits the time curl is allowed to spend in the
|
|
|
- connection phase. This differs from -m/--max-time that limits the entire
|
|
|
- file transfer operation. Requested by Larry Fahnoe and others.
|
|
|
-
|

-- Made curl grok IPv6 with HTTP proxies and got everything to compile nicely
|
|
|
- again when ENABLE_IPV6 is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I need to remake things in the test suite. I can't test the FTP parts with

|
- curl built for IPv6 as it uses a different set of FTP commands then!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I fell onto a bug report on php.net (posted by Lars Torben Wilson) that was
|
|
|
- a report meant for our project. Anyway, it said the .netrc parsing didn't
|
|
|
- work as supposed, and as I agreed with Lars, I made the netrc parser use
|
|
|
- getpwuid() to figure out the home directory of the effective user and try
|
|
|
- that netrc. It still uses the environment variable HOME for those that don't
|
|
|
- have that function or if the user doesn't return valid pwd info.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Edin Kadribaic posted a bug report where he got a crash when a fetch with
|
|
|
- user+password in the URL followed a Location: to a second URL (absolute,
|
|
|
- without name+password). This bug has been around for a long while and
|
|
|
- crashes due to a read at address zero. Fixed now. Wrote test case 38, that
|
|
|
- tests this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Modified the test suite's httpserver slightly to append all client request
|
|

- Curl_strequal function to curl_strequal and Curl_strnequal to
|

- curl_strnequal, as they're public libcurl functions (even if they're still

|
|
- undocumented).
|

- o lib/ssluse.c had a bad #endif placement
|
|
|
- o lib/file.c was made to compile on win32 again

-- It only took an hour or so before Jörn Hartroth found a problem in the

|
|

- the problem and when I re-read the spec (the part I have pasted in the top

-- Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported

- policies.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies
|
|
|
- CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now
|
|
|
- supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy
|
|
|
- is chosen.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 March 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE and CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET to libcurl for seeding the
|
|
|
- SSL random engine. The random seeding support was also brought to the curl
|
|
|
- client with the new options --random-file <file> and --egd-file <file>. I
|
|
|
- need some people to really test this to know they work as supposed. Remember
|
|
|
- that libcurl now informs (if verbose is on) if the random seed is considered
|
|
|
- weak (HTTPS connections).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the chunked transfer-encoding engine detected bad formatted data length
|
|
|
- and return error if so (we can't possibly extract sensible data if this is
|
|
|
- the case). Added a test case that detects this. Number 36. Now there are 60
|
|
|
- test cases.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added 5 new libcurl options to curl/curl.h that can be used to control the
|
|
|
- persistent connection support in libcurl. They're also documented (fairly
|
|
|
- thoroughly) in the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page. Three of them are now
|
|
|
- implemented, although not really tested at this point... Anyway, the new
|
|
|
- implemented options are named CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT,
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE. The ones still left to write code for are:
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY and its related option CURLOPT_CLOSEFUNCTION.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made curl (the actual command line tool) use the new libcurl 7.7 persistent
|
|
|
- connection support by re-using the same curl handle for every specified file
|
|
|
- transfer and after some more test case tweaking we have 100% test case OK.
|
|
|
- I made some test cases return HTTP/1.0 now to make sure that works as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Had to add 'Connection: close' to the headers of a bunch of test cases so
|
|
|
- that curl behaves "old-style" since the test http server doesn't do multiple
|
|
|
- connections... Now I get 100% test case OK.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The curl.haxx.se site, the main curl mailing list and my personal email are
|
|
|
- all dead today due to power blackout in the area where the main servers are
|
|
|
- located. Horrible.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I've made persistance work over a squid HTTP proxy. I find it disturbing
|
|
|
- that it uses headers that aren't present in any HTTP standard though
|
|
|
- (Proxy-Connection:) and that makes me feel that I'm now on the edge of what
|
|
|
- the standard actually defines. I need to get this code excercised on a lot
|
|
|
- of different HTTP proxies before I feel safe.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now I'm facing the problem with my test suite servers (both FTP and HTTP)
|
|
|
- not supporting persistent connections and libcurl is doing them now. I have

|
- to fix the test servers to get all the test cases do OK.

- * Negotiation is now passive. Curl does not negotiate until the peer does.
|
|
|
- * Possibility to set negotiation options on the command line, currently only
|
|
|
- XDISPLOC, TTYPE and NEW_ENVIRON (called NEW_ENV).
|
|
|
- * Now sends the USER environment variable if the -u switch is used.

|
|
- * Use -t to set telnet options (Linus even updated the man page, awesome!)

- CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will switch on the HTTP POST. Most other things in

|
|
|
-- An interesting discussion is how to specify an empty password without having
|
|
|
- curl ask for it interactively? The current implmentation takes an empty
|
|
|
- password as a request for a password prompt. However, I still want to
|
|
|
- support a blank user field. Thus, today if you enter "-u :" (without user
|
|
|
- and password) curl will prompt for the password. Tricky. How would you
|
|
|
- specify you want the prompt otherwise?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the netrc parse result possible to use for other protocols than FTP and
|
|
|
- HTTP (such as the upcoming TELNET fixes).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The previously mentioned "MSVC++ problems" turned out to be a non-issue.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a HTTP file upload code example in the docs/examples/ section on
|
|
|
- request.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Adjusted the FTP response fix slightly.

-Version 7.6.1-pre3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (7 February 2001)
|
|
|
-- S. Moonesamy found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that
|
|
|
- could make libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if
|
|
|
- libcurl got -1 returned when reading the socket.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the
|
|
|
- results from the proxy connection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 February 2001)
|
|
|
-- S. Moonesamy pointed out that the VC makefile in src/ needed the libpath set
|
|
|
- for the debug build to work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver
|
|
|
- brought up yesterday.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 February 2001)
|
|
|
-- Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to
|
|
|
- a bunch of different areas within libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with
|
|
|
- the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a
|
|
|
- patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler.
|
|
|
- How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 February 2001)
|
|
|
-- curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options:
|
|
|
- CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They
|
|
|
- return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given
|
|
|
- direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length:
|
|
|
- size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This
|
|
|
- was done after discussions with Bob Schader.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 February 2001)
|
|
|
-- Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more
|
|
|
- recent cygwin installations. It seems they've changed the preset defines to
|
|
|
- not include WIN32 anymore.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.6.1-pre2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to
|
|
|
- be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a
|
|
|
- possibility to weird behavior all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me
|
|
|
- find this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested.
|
|
|
- I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple
|
|
|
- of compiler options when used. It assumes gcc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- I finally took a stab at the long-term FIXME item I've had on myself, and
|
|
|
- now libcurl will properly work when doing a HTTP range-request that follows
|
|
|
- a Location:. Previously that would make libcurl fail saying that the server
|
|
|
- doesn't seem to support range requests.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- I added a test case for the HTTP PUT resume thing (test case 33).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.6.1-pre1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Yet another Content-Range change. Ok now? Bob Schader checks from his end
|
|
|
- and it works for him.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- So the HTTP PUT resume fix wasn't good. There should appearantly be a
|
|
|
- Content-Range header when resuming a PUT.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I noticed I broke the download-check that verifies that a resumed HTTP
|
|
|
- download is actually resumed. It got broke because my new 'httpreq' field
|
|
|
- in the main curl struct. I should get slapped. I added a test case for
|
|
|
- this now, so I won't be able to ruin this again without noticing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a test case for content-length verifying when downloading HTTP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the progress meter title say if the transfer is being transfered. It
|
|
|
- makes the output slightly better for resumes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- When dealing with Location: and HTTP return codes, libcurl will not attempt
|
|
|
- to follow the spirit of RFC2616 better. It means that when POSTing to a
|
|
|
- URL that is being following to a second place, the standard will judge on
|
|
|
- what to do. All HTTP codes except 303 and 305 will cause curl to make a
|
|
|
- second POST operation. 303 will make a GET and 305 is not yet supported.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also wrote two test cases for this POST/GET/Location stuff.
|
|

-Version 7.6
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Lots of mails back and forth with Bob Schader finally made me add a small
|
|
|
- piece of code in the HTTP engine so that HTTP upload resume works. You can
|
|
|
- now do an operation like 'curl -T file -C <offset> <URL>' and curl will PUT
|
|
|
- the ending part of the file starting at given offet to the specified URL.
|
|
|

|
|
|
-Version 7.6-pre4

|
|
|
-Daniel (25 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- I took hold of Rick Jones' question why we don't use recv() and send() for
|
|
|
- reading/writing to the sockets and I've now modified the sread() and
|
|
|
- swrite() macros to use them instead. If nothing else, they could be tested
|
|
|
- in the next beta-round coming right up.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jeff Morrow found a problem with libcurl's usage of SSL_read() and supplied
|
|
|
- his research results in how to fix this. It turns out we have to invoke the
|
|
|
- function several times in some cases. The same goes for the SSL_write().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I made some rather drastic changes all over libcurl to make all writes and
|
|
|
- reads get done on one single place so that this repeated-attempts thing
|
|
|
- would only have to be implemented at one point.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rick Jones spotted that the 'total time' counter really didn't measure the
|
|
|
- total time very accurate on subsecond levels.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Johan Nilsson pointed out the need to more clearly specify that the timeout
|
|
|
- value you set for a download is for the *entire* download. There's currently
|
|
|
- no option available that sets a timeout for the connection phase only.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Ingo Ralf Blum submitted a series of patches required to get curl to compile
|
|
|
- properly with cygwin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Robert Weaver posted a fix for the win32 section of the curl_getenv() code
|
|
|
- that corrected a potential memory leak.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added comments in a few files in a sudden attempt to make the sources more
|
|
|
- easy to read and understand!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added simple IPv6 detection in the configure script and made the version
|
|
|
- string add 'ipv6' to the enable section in that case. ENABLE_IPV6 will be
|
|
|
- set if curl is compiled with IPv6 support enabled.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a parser for IPv6-style specified IP-addresses in a URL. Thus, when
|
|
|
- IPv6 gets enabled soon, we can use URLs like '[0::1]:80'...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the URL globbing in the client possible to fail silently if there's an
|
|
|
- error in the globbing. It makes it almost intuitive, so when you don't
|
|
|
- follow the syntax rules, globbing is simply switched off and the raw string
|
|
|
- is used instead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I still think we'll get problems with IPv6-style IP-addresses when we *want*
|
|
|
- globbing on parts of the URL as the initial part of the URL will for sure
|
|
|
- seriously confuse the globber.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Björn Stenberg supplied a progress meter patch that makes it look better even
|
|
|
- during slow starts. Previously it made some silly assumptions...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added two FTP tests for -Q and -Q - stuff since it was being discussed on
|
|
|
- the mailing list. Had to correct the ftpserver.pl too as it bugged slightly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Made the Location: parsers deal with any-length URLs. Thus I removed the last
|
|
|
- code that restricts the length of URLs that curl supports.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added a --globoff test case (#28) and it quickly identified a memory problem
|
|
|
- in src/main.c that I took care of.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.6-pre3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Made the two former files lib/download.c and lib/highlevel.c become the new
|
|
|
- lib/transfer.c which makes more sense. I also did the rename from Transfer()
|
|
|
- to Curl_Transfer() in the other source files that use the transfer function
|
|
|
- in the spirit of using Curl_ prefix for library-scoped global symbols.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Added -g/--globoff that switches OFF the URL globbing and thus enables {}[]
|
|
|
- letters to be part of the URL. Do note that RFC2396 section 2.4.3 explicitly
|
|
|
- mention these letters to be escaped. This was posted as a feature request by
|
|
|
- Jorge Gutierrez and as a bug by Terry.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Short options to curl that requires parameters can now be specified without
|
|
|
- having the option and its parameter space separated. -ofile works as good as
|
|
|
- -o file. -m20 is equal to -m 20. Do note that this goes for single-letter
|
|
|
- options only, verbose --long-style options still must be separated with
|
|
|
- space from their parameters.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Francis Dagenais reported that the SCO compiler still fails when compiling
|
|
|
- curl due to that getpass_r() prototype. I've now put it around #ifndef
|
|
|
- HAVE_GETPASS_R in an attempt to please the SCO systems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made some minor corrections to get the client to cleanup properly and I made
|
|
|
- the separator work again when getting multiple globbed URLs to stdout.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Worked with Loic Dachary to get the make dist and make distcheck work
|
|
|
- correctly. The 'maketgz' script is now using the automake generated 'make
|
|
|
- dist' when creating release archives. Loic successfully made 'make rpms'
|
|
|
- automatically build RPMs!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Loic Dachary (6 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Automated generation of rpm packages, no need to be root.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- make distcheck generates a proper distribution (EXTRA_DIST
|
|
|
- in all Makefile.am modified to match FILES).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Huge client-side hack: now multiple URLs are supported. Any number of URLs
|
|
|
- can be specified on the command line, and they'll all be downloaded. There
|
|
|
- must be a corresponding -o or -O for each URL or the data will be written to
|
|
|
- stdout. This needs more testing, time to release a 7.6-pre package.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The krb4 support was broken in the release. Fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Huge internal symbol rename operation. All non-static but still lib-internal
|
|
|
- symbols should now be prefixed with 'Curl_' to prevent collisions with other
|
|
|
- libs. All public symbols should be prefixed with 'curl_' and the rest should
|
|
|
- be static and thus invisible to the outside world. I updated the INTERNALS
|
|
|
- document to say this as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.5.2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- As Kevin P Roth suggested, I've added text to the man page for every command
|
|
|
- line option and what happens when you specify that option more than
|
|
|
- once. That hasn't been exactly crystal clear before.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made the configure script possible to run from outside the source-tree. For
|
|
|
- odd reasons I can't build curl properly outside though. It has to do with
|
|
|
- curl's dependencies on libcurl...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Cut off all older (dated 1999 and earlier) CHANGES entries from this file.
|
|
|
- The older piece is named CHANGES.0 and is added to the CVS repository in
|
|
|
- case anyone would need it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added another file 'CVS-INFO' to the CVS. It contains information about
|
|
|
- files in the CVS that aren't included in release archives and how to build
|
|
|
- curl when you get the sources off CVS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Updated CONTRIBUTE and FAQ due to the new license.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 January 2001)
|
|
|
-- Renamed README.libcurl to LIBCURL
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Changed headers in all sources files to the new dual license concept of
|
|
|
- curl: use the MIT/X derivate license *or* MPL. The LEGAL file was updated
|
|
|
- accordingly and the MPL 1.1 and MIT/X derivate licenses are now part of the
|
|
|
- release archive.
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Made all FTP commands get sent with the trailing CRLF in one single write()
|
|
|
- as splitting them up seems to confuse at least some firewalls (FW-1 being
|
|
|
- one major).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Added file desrciptor and FILE handle leak detection to the memdebug system
|
|
|
- and thus I found and removed a file descriptor leakage in the ftp parts
|
|
|
- that happened when you did PORTed downloads.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added an include <stdio.h> in <curl/curl.h> since it uses FILE *.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (12 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Multiple URL downloads with -O was still bugging. Not anymore I think or
|
|
|
- hope, or at least I've tried... :-O
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Francois Petitjean fixed another -O problem
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.5.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Cleaned up a few of the makefiles to use unix-style newlines only. As Kevin
|
|
|
- P Roth found out, at least one CVS client behaved wrongly when it found
|
|
|
- different newline conventions within the same file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Albert Chin-A-Young corrected the LDFLAGS use in the configure script for
|
|
|
- the SSL stuff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (6 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Massimo Squillace correctly described how libcurl could use session ids when
|
|
|
- doing SSL connections.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- James Griffiths found out that curl would crash if the file you specify with
|
|
|
- -o is shorter than the URL! This took some hours to fully hunt down, but it
|
|
|
- is fixed now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (5 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Jaepil Kim sent us makefiles that build curl using the free windows borland
|
|
|
- compiler. The root makefile now accepts 'make borland' to build curl with
|
|
|
- that compiler.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Stefan Radman pointed out that the test makefiles didn't use the PERL
|
|
|
- variable that the configure scripts figure out. Actually, you still need
|
|
|
- perl in the path for the test suite to run ok.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Rich Gray found numerous portability problems:
|
|
|
- * The SCO compiler got an error on the getpass_r() prototype in getpass.h
|
|
|
- since the curl one differed from the SCO one
|
|
|
- * The HPUX compiler got an error because of how curl did the sigaction
|
|
|
- stuff and used a define HPUX doesn't have (or need).
|
|
|
- * A few more problems remain to be researched.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Paul Harrington experienced a core dump using https. Not much details yet.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (4 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Jörn Hartroth fixed a problem with multiple URLs and -o/-O.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.5
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 December 2000)
|
|
|
-- Craig Davison gave us his updates on the VC++ makefiles, so now curl should
|
|
|
- build fine with the Microsoft compiler on windows too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Fixed the libcurl versioning so that we don't ruin old programs when
|
|
|
- releasing new shared library interfaces.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (30 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- Renamed docs/README.curl to docs/MANUAL to better reflect what the document
|
|
|
- actually contains.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (29 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- I removed a bunch of '#if 0' sections from the code. They only make things
|
|
|
- harder to follow. After all, we do have all older versions in the CVS.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 7.5-pre5
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- I filled in more error codes in the man page error code list that had been
|
|
|
- lagging.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- James Griffiths mailed me a fine patch that introduces the CURLOPT_MAXREDIRS
|
|
|
- libcurl option. When used, it'll prevent location following more than the
|
|
|
- set number of times. It is useful to break out of endless redirect-loops.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- Added two test cases for file://.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- Added the libcurl CURLOPT_FILETIME setopt, when set it tries to get the
|
|
|
- modified time of the remote document. This is a special option since it
|
|
|
- involves an extra set of commands on FTP servers. (Using the MDTM command
|
|
|
- which is not in the RFC959)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl_easy_getinfo() got a corresponding CURLINFO_FILETIME to get the time
|
|
|
- after a transfer. It'll return a zero if CURLOPT_FILETIME wasn't used or if
|
|
|
- the time wasn't possible to get.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- --head/-I used on a FTP server will now present a 'Last-Modified:' header
|
|
|
- if curl could get the time of the specified file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added the option '--cacert [file]' to curl, which allows a specified PEM
|
|
|
- file to be used to verify the peer's certificate when doing HTTPS
|
|
|
- connections. This has been requested, rather recently by Hulka Bohuslav but
|
|
|
- others have asked for it before as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- Numerous fixes the test suite has brought into the daylight:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * curl_unescape() could return a too long string
|
|
|
- * on ftp transfer failures, there could be memory leaks
|
|
|
- * ftp CWD could use bad directory names
|
|
|
- * memdebug now uses the mprintf() routines for better portability
|
|
|
- * free(NULL) removed when doing resumed transfers
|
|
|
-
|

|
|
|
-- Made libcurl capable of dealing with any-length URLs. The former limit of
|
|
|
- 4096 bytes was a bit annoying when people wanted to use curl to really make
|
|
|
- life tough on a web server. Now, the command line limit is the most annoying
|
|
|
- but that can be circumvented by using a config file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NOTE: there is still a 4096-byte limit on URLs extracted from Location:
|
|
|
- headers.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Corrected the spelling of 'resolve' in two error messages.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Alexander Kourakos posted a bug report and a patch that corrected it! It
|
|
|
- turned out that lynx and wget support lowercase environment variable names
|
|
|
- where curl only looked for the uppercase versions. Now curl will use the
|
|
|
- lowercase versions if they exist, but if they don't, it'll use the uppercase
|
|
|
- versions.
|
|
|

|

|
-Daniel (17 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- curl_formfree() was added. How come no one missed that one before? I ran the
|
|
|
- test suite with the malloc debug enabled and got lots of "nice" warnings on
|
|
|
- memory leaks. The most serious one was this. There were also leaks in the
|
|
|
- cookie handling, and a few errors when curl failed to connect and similar
|
|
|
- things. More tests cases were added to cover up and to verify that these
|
|
|
- problems have been removed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Mucho updated config file parser (I'm dead tired of all the bug reports and
|
|
|
- weird behaviour I get on the former one). It works slightly differently now,
|
|
|
- although I doubt many people will notice the differences. The main
|
|
|
- difference being that if you use options that require parameters, they must
|
|
|
- both be specified on the same line. With this new parser, you can also
|
|
|
- specify long options without '--' and you may separate options and
|
|
|
- parameters with : or =. It makes a config file line could look like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- user-agent = "foobar and something"
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Parameters within quotes may contain spaces. Without quotes, they're
|
|
|
- expected to be a single non-space word.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Had to patch the command line argument parser a little to make this work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added --url as an option to allow the URL to be specified this way. It makes
|
|
|
- way nicer config files. The previous way of specifying URLs in the config
|
|
|
- file doesn't work anymore.

|
-Daniel (15 November 2000)
|
|
|
-- Using certain characters in usernames or passwords for HTTP authentication
|
|
|
- failed. This was due to the mprintf() that had a silly check for letters,
|
|
|
- and if they weren't isprint() they weren't outputed "as-is". This caused
|
|
|
- passwords and usernames using '§' (for example) to fail.

|
|
|
-- I've (finally) started working on the curl test suite. It is in the new
|
|
|
- tests/ directory. It requires sh and perl. There's a TCP server in perl and
|
|
|
- most of the other stuff running a pretty simple shell script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've only made four test cases so far, but it proves the system can work.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Laurent Papier noticed that curl didn't set TYPE when doing --head checks
|

- for sizes on FTP servers. Some servers seem to return different sizes

|
- depending on whether ASCII or BINARY is used!
|
|
|
-

-- Laurent Papier detected that if you appended a FTP upload and everything was

|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Venkataramana Mokkapati detected a bug in the cookie parser and corrected
|
|
|
- it. If the cookie was set for the full host name (domain=full.host.com),

-Daniel (9 November 2000)

- times when location: headers were followed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Emmanuel Tychon discovered that curl didn't really like user names only in
|
|
|
- the URL. I corrected this and I also fixed the since long living problem
|
|
|
- with URL encoded user names and passwords in the URLs. They should work now.
|

|
|
-Daniel (2 November 2000)

-- When I added --interface, the new error code that was added with it was
|
|
|
- inserted in the wrong place and thus all error codes from 35 and upwards got
|
|
|
- increased one step. This is now corrected, we're back at the previous
|
|
|
- numbers. All new exit codes should be added at the end.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (1 November 2000)

|
-- I'm having a license discussion going on privately. The issue is yet again

-Daniel (30 October 2000)
|
|
|
-- T. Bharath brought a set of patches that bring new functionality to
|
|
|
- curl_easy_getinfo() and curl_easy_setopt(). Now you can request peer
|
|
|
- certificate verification with the *setopt() CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER option
|
|
|
- and then use the CURLOPT_CAINFO to set the certificate to verify the remote
|
|
|
- peer against. After an such an operation with a verification request, the
|
|
|
- *_getinfo() option CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT will return information about
|
|
|
- whether the verification succeeded or not.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 October 2000)
|
|
|
-- Georg Horn brought us a splendid patch that solves the long-standing
|
|
|
- annoying problem with timeouts that made curl exit with silly exit codes
|
|
|
- (which as been commented out lately). This solution is sigaction() based and
|
|
|
- of course then only works for unixes (and only those unixes that actually
|
|
|
- have the sigaction() function).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (26 October 2000)
|
|
|
-- Björn Stenberg supplied a patch that fixed the flaw mentioned by Kevin Roth
|
|
|
- that made the password get echoed when prompted for interactively. The
|
|
|
- getpass() function (now known as my_getpass()) was also fixed to not use any
|
|
|
- static buffers. This also means we cannot use the "standard" getpass()
|
|
|
- function even for those systems that have it, since it isn't thread-safe.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth found out that if you'd write a config file with '-v url', the
|
|
|
- url would not be used as "default URL" as documented, although if you wrote
|
|
|
- it 'url -v' it worked! This has been corrected now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Kevin Roth's idea of using multiple -d options on the same command line was
|
|
|
- just brilliant, and I couldn't really think of any reason why we shouldn't
|
|
|
- support it! The append function always append '&' and then the new -d
|
|
|
- chunk. This enables constructs like the following:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -d name=daniel -d age=unknown foobarsite.com

-- I modified the maketgz and configure scripts, so that the configure script
|
|
|
- will fetch the version number from the include/curl/curl.h header files, and
|
|
|
- then the maketgz doesn't have to rebuild the configure script when I build
|
|
|
- release-archives.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Björn Stenberg and Linus Nielsen correctly pointed out that curl was silly
|
|
|
- enough to not allow @-letters in passwords when they were specified with the
|
|
|
- -u or -U flags (CURLOPT_USERPWD and CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD). This also
|
|
|
- suggests that curl probably should url-decode the password piece of an URL
|
|
|
- so that you could pass an encoded @-letter there...

|
|
|
-Daniel (20 October 2000)
|
|
|
-- Yet another http server barfed on curl's request that include the port
|
|
|
- number in the Host: header always. I now only include the port number if it
|
|
|
- isn't the default (80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS). www.perl.com turned out to
|
|
|
- run one of those nasty servers.

-Daniel (17 October 2000)

|
|

- all memory fiddling functions. An additional perl script is used to analyze

- this way, some sites have turned out to work with browsers but not with

-- Anyone who ever uploaded data with curl on a slow link has noticed that the

-- I've marked -c and -t deprecated now. If you use any of them, curl will tell

- you to use "-C -" or "-T -" instead. I don't think occupying two letters for

-- Richard Prescott solved another name lookup buffer size problem. I took this

- opportunity to rewrite the GetHost() function. With these large buffer
|
|
|
- sizes, I think keeping them as local arrays quickly turn ugly. I now use
|
|
|
- malloc() to get the buffer memory. Thanks to this, I now can realloc() to a
|
|
|
- large buffer in case of demand (errno == ERANGE) in case a solution like
|
|
|
- that would become necessary. I still want to avoid that kind of nastiness.

- clean up almost every function in the new security.c to make them use

|
|

-

-- Stephen Kick supplied a big patch that introduces the --interface flag to

|
|
|
-
|

- move an include file before another, as is now described in the source.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- AIX 4.2 (4.X?) has different gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r()
|
|

- functions that the configure script didn't check for and thus the compile
|
|
|
- broke with an error. I have now changed the gethostbyname_r() check in the

- configure file to support all three versions of both these functions. My
|
|
|
- implementation that uses the AIX-style is though not yet verified and I may

|
- get problems to fix it if it turns out to bug since I don't have access to
|
|
|
- any system using that.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- For problems like that, I made the configure script allow --disable-thread
|
|
|
- to completely switch off the check for threadsafe versions of a few
|
|
|
- functions and thus go with the "good old versions" that tend to work
|

-- In a discussion with Eetu Ojanen it struck me that if we use curl to get a

|
|
- server that curl follows, curl will send the user name and password to that
|

|
- server as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Now, I'll never be able to make curl do Location: following all that perfect
|
|
|
- and you're all sooner or later required to write a script to do several
|
|
|
- fetches when you're doing advanced stuff, but now I've modified curl to at
|
|
|
- least *only* send the user name and password to the original server. Which
|
|
|
- means that if get a page from server A with a password, that forwards curl
|
|
|
- to server B, curl won't use the password there. If server B then forwards
|
|
|
- curl back to server A again, the password will be used again.
|
|

-
|
|
|
- This is not a perfect implementation, as in a browser case it would only use

- that this fix prevents a somewhat lurky "security hole".

|
|
|
- if the command-reply session gets too slow or dies completely. I made a
|
|
|
- default timeout on 3600 seconds unless anything else is specified, since I
|
|
|
- don't think anyone wants to wait more than that for a single character to
|
|
|
- get received...

|
-- Torsten Foertsch <torsten.foertsch at gmx.net> brought a set of fixes for
|
|
|
- the rfc1867 form posts. He introduced 'name=<file' which brings a means to
|
|
|
- suuply very large text chunks read from the given file name. It differs from
|
|
|
- 'name=@file' in the way that this latter thing is marked in the uploaded
|
|
|
- contents as a file upload, while the first is just text (as in a input or
|
|
|
- textarea field). Torsten also corrected a bug that would happen if you used
|
|
|
- %s or similar in a -F file name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- As discovered by Nico Baggus <Nico.Baggus at mail.ing.nl>, when transferring
|
|
|
- files to/from FTP using type ASCII curl should not expect the transfer to be
|
|
|
- the exact size reported by the server as the file size. Since ASCII may very
|
|
|
- well mean that the content is translated while transfered, the final size
|
|
|
- may very well differ. Therefor, curl now ignores the file size when doing
|
|
|
- ASCII transfers in FTP.

|
|
|
-- Added CURLOPT_PROXYPORT to the curl_easy_setopt() call to allow the proxy
|
|
|
- port number to be set separately from the proxy host name.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Andrew <andrew at ugh.net.au> pointed out a netrc manual bug.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The FTP transfer code now accepts a 250-code as well as the previously
|
|
|
- accepted 226, after a successful file transfer. Mohan <mnair at
|
|
|
- evergreen-funds.com> pointed this out.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- The check for *both* nsl and socket was never added in the v7 configure.in
|
|
|
- when I moved the main branch. I re-added that check to configure.in. This was
|
|
|
- discovered by Rich Gray.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Howard, Blaise <Blaise.Howard at factiva.com> pointed out a missing free() in
|
|
|
- curl_disconnect() which of course meant libcurl ate memory.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Brian E. Gallew noted that the HTTP 'Host:' header curl sent did not
|
|
|
- properly include the port number if non-default ports were used. This should
|
|
|
- now have been fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- HTTP connect errors now return errors earlier. This was most notably causing
|
|
|
- problems when the HTTPS certificate had problems and later caused a crash.
|
|
|
- Many thanks to Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls at level8.com> for discovering
|
|
|
- and suggesting a fix...

|
|
|
-- After a "bug report" I received where the user was using both -F and -I in a
|
|
|
- HTTP request (it severly confused the library I should add), I added some

-Daniel (20 June 2000)
|
|
|
-- I did a major replace in many files to use the new curl domain haxx.se
|
|
|
- instead of the previous one.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- As Eetu Ojanen suggested, I finally took the step and now libcurl no longer
|
|
|
- makes a POST after it has followed a location. When the initial POST has
|
|
|
- been done, it'll turned into a GET for the further requests. This is only
|
|
|
- interesting when using -L/--location *and* doing a POST at the same time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- While messing with this, I added another weird feature I call 'auto
|
|
|
- referer'. If you append ';auto' to the right of a given referer string (or
|
|
|
- only use that string as referer), libcurl will automatically set the
|
|
|
- previoud URL as refered when it follows a Location: and gets a succeeding
|
|
|
- document.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- My hero Rich Gray found the very obscure FTP bug that happened to him only
|
|
|
- when passing through a particular firewall and using the PORT command. It
|
|
|
- turned out that PORT was the only command in the lib/ftp.c source that
|
|
|
- didn't send a proper \r\n sequence but instead used the faulty \n which as
|
|
|
- it seemed is supported by most major ftp servers... :-O

-Daniel (16 June 2000)
|
|
|
-- I had avoided this long enough now, so I moved the alternative progress bar
|
|
|
- stuff from the lib and added it to the client code. This is now using the
|
|
|
- recently added progress callback and it seems to work pretty much like
|
|
|
- before. Since it is only one progress bar and you and download and upload at
|
|
|
- the same time, this bar shows the combined progress of both directions. This
|
|
|
- code was just ported from the old place to this, Lars is still our saviour!
|
|
|
- ;-) This also made the documentation more accurate since I never removed
|
|
|
- this function from any docs! Although I now removed the CURLOPT_PROGRESSMODE
|
|
|
- from the library since the lib has only one internal progress meter and it
|
|
|
- will never get another. It is although likely that the internal one also
|
|
|
- will be moved to the client code in the future (when I have other means of
|
|
|
- getting the writeout data and move that too to the client).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I took the opportunity to verify that standard progress meter works and I
|
|
|
- found out it didn't get inited properly. Grrr. I corrected that as well.

|
-Daniel (15 June 2000)
|
|
|
-- I thought I'd better verify that the -F option still works in v7 and of
|
|
|
- course it didn't... :-/ Anyway, I had the problems I could discover
|
|
|
- corrected. About one month of beta testing and not a single person has used
|
|
|
- this feature with v7?
|

- lib/strequal.c had a bad #ifdef for one of the string comparisons (win32)
|
|
|
- src/main.c had several minor problems
|
|
|
- lib/makefile.m32 had getpass.[co] twice
|
|
|
- src/config-win32.h lacked the HAVE_FCNTL_H define
|
|
|
- both config-win32.h files now only set the HAVE_UNISTD_H define if the
|
|
|
- define MINGW32 is set, and I modified src/makefile.m32 and lib/makefile.m32

-- Applied Luong Dinh Dung's comments about a few win32 compile problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied Björn Stenberg's suggested fix that turns the win32 stdout to
|
|
|
- binary. It won't do it if the -B / --use-ascii option is used. That option
|
|
|
- is now an extended version of the previous -B /--ftp--ascii. The flag was
|
|
|
- already in use be the ldap as well so the new name fits pretty good. The
|
|
|
- libcyrl CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT was also introduced as an alias to the now
|
|
|
- obsolete CURLOPT_FTPASCII. Can't verify this fix myself as I have no win32
|
|
|
- compiler around.
|
|
|

-Daniel (8 June 2000)

- should work now. I don't have the energy to write any test program for it
|
|
|
- right now.
|
|
|
-- Made the callback function typedefs public in curl/curl.h for comfort. Just

- but the first request.
|
|

-- Removed the 'HttpPost' struct and moved the header stuff to the more generic

|
|
- compile under Linux. gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r() turned out to

-- Corrected the bits.* assignments when using CURLOPT options that only

- toggles one of those bits.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Applied the huge patches from David LeBlanc <dleblanc at qnx.com> that add
|
|
|
- usage of the gethostbyname_r() and similar functions in case they're around,
|
|
|
- since that make libcurl much better threadsafe in many systems (such as
|
|
|
- solaris). I added the checks for these functions to the configure script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I can't explain why, but the inet_ntoa_r() function did not appear in my

-- Updated lots of #defines, enums and variable type names in the library. No

- more weird URG or URLTAG prefixes. All types and names should be curl-
|
|
|
- prefixed to avoid name space clashes. The FLAGS-parameter to the former
|
|
|
- curl_urlget() has been converted into a bunch of flags to use in separate

- setopt calls. I'm still focusing on the easy-interface, as the curl tool is
|
|
|
- now using that.
|
|

-
|

-- Bjorn Reese has provided me with an asynchronous name resolver that I plan

-Daniel (18 May 2000)

-- Introduced LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM to the curl.h include file to better allow

- source codes to be dependent on the lib version. This define is now set to
|
|
|
- a dexadecimal number, with 8 bits each for major number, minor number and
|
|
|
- patch number. In other words, version 1.2.3 would make it 0x010203. It also

-- Made the progress bar look better for file sizes between 9999 kilobytes

- and 100 megabytes. They're now displayed XX.XM.
|
|
|
-- I also noticed that ftp fetches through HTTP proxies didn't add the user

|
|
- agent string. It does now.
|
|
|
-- Habibie <habibie at MailandNews.com> supplied a pretty good way to build RPMs
|
|
|
- on a Linux machine. It still a) requires me to be root to do it, b) leaves
|
|
|
- the rpm packages laying at some odd place on my disk c) doesn't work to
|
|
|
- build the ssl version of curl since I didn't install openssl from an rpm
|
|
|
- package so now the rpm crap thinks I don't have openssl and refuses to build
|
|
|
- a package that depends on ssl... Did I mention I don't get along with RPM?
|
|
|
-- Once again I received a bug report about autoconf not setting -L prior to -l
|
|
|
- on the command line when checking for libs. In this case it made the native
|
|
|
- cc compiler on Solaris 7 to fail the OpenSSL check. This has previously been
|
|
|
- reported to cause problems on HP-UX and is a known flaw in autoconf 2.13. It

|
|
-- H. Daphne Luong pointed out that curl was wrongly
|

|
|
-- An anonymous post on sourceforge correctly pointed out a possible buffer
|
|
|
- overflow in the curl_unescape() function for URL conversions. The main
|
|
|
- problem with this bug is that the ftp download uses that function and this

-Daniel (15 March 2000):
|

|
|
|
-

- perhaps make them work better.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added the perl check back in the configure.in again since the mkhelp.pl
|
|
|
- script needs it!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made some beautifications in the curl man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 March 2000):
|
|
|
-- Jörn helped me update the config-win32.h files with HAVE_SETVBUF and
|
|
|
- HAVE_STRDUP.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 March 2000):
|
|
|
-- Uploaded the 6.5pre2 package.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (2 March 2000):
|
|
|
-- Removed the perl-programs from the distribution, they never made many people
|
|
|
- happy and I'll still keep them available on the web.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added the -w and -N stuff to the man page. Documented the new progress meter
|
|
|
- display in README.curl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Jörn Hartroth, Chris <cbayliss at csc.come> and Ulf
|
|
|
- Möller from the openssl development team helped bringing me the details for
|
|
|
- fixing an OpenSSL usage flaw. It became apparent when they released openssl
|
|
|
- 0.9.5 since that barfed on curl's bad behavior (not seeding a random number
|
|
|
- thing).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Yet another option: -N/--no-buffer disables buffering in the output stream.
|
|
|
- Probably most useful for very slow transfers when you really want to get
|
|
|
- every byte curl receives within some preferred time. Andrew <tmr at gci.net>
|
|
|
- suggested this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Damien Adant mailed me his fixes for making curl compile on Ultrix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (24 February 2000):
|
|
|
-- Applied Jörn Hartroth's fixes for config-win32.h and lib/Makefile.w32.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I should also make a note here, if nothing else to myself, that when using
|
|
|
- the %-syntax for variables in DOS command prompts, you must use two %-
|
|
|
- letters for each one since that is an escape letter there! Maybe I should
|
|
|
- use another letter instead!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Added more variables to -w:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- 'http_code'
|
|
|
- 'time_namelookup'
|
|
|
- 'time_connect'
|
|
|
- 'time_pretransfer'
|
|
|
- 'url_effective'
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Made -w@filename read the syntax from a file and -w@- reads the syntax from
|
|
|
- stdin in the good old "standard" curl way.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (22 February 2000):
|
|
|
-- Released a 6.5pre1 version to get some test and user feedback.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (21 February 2000):
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- I added the -w/--write-out flag and some variables to go with it. -w is a
|
|
|
- single string, whatever you enter there will be written out when curl has
|
|
|
- completed a successful request. There are some variable substitutions and
|
|
|
- they are specified as '%{variable}' (without the quotes). Variables that
|
|
|
- exist as of this moment are:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- total_time - total transfer time in seconds (with 2 decimals)
|
|
|
- size_download - total downloaded amount of bytes
|
|
|
- size_upload - total uploaded amount of bytes
|
|
|
- speed_download - the average speed of the entire download
|
|
|
- speed_upload - the average speed of the entire upload
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I will of course add more variables, but I need input on these and others.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- It struck me that the -# progress bar will be hard to just apply on the new
|
|
|
- progress bar concept. I need some feedback on this before that'll get re-
|
|
|
- introduced! :-/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (16 February 2000):
|
|
|
-- Jörn Hartroth brought me some fixes for the progress meter and I continued
|
|
|
- working on it. It seems to work for http download, http post, ftp download
|
|
|
- and ftp upload. It should be a pretty good test it works generally good.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Still need to add the -# progress bar into the new style progress interface.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Gonna have a go at my new output option parameter next.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (15 February 2000):
|
|
|
-- The progress meter stuff is slowly taking place. There's more left before it
|
|
|
- is working ok and everything is tested, but we're reaching there. Slowly!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (11 February 2000):
|
|
|
-- Paul Marquis fixed the config file parsing of curl to
|
|
|
- deal with any-length lines, removing the previous limit of 4K.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Eetu Ojanen's suggestion of supporting the @-style for -b
|
|
|
- is implemented. Now -b@<filename> works as well as the old style. -b@- also
|
|
|
- similarly reads the cookies from stdin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Reminder: -D should not write to the file until it needs to, in the same way
|
|
|
- -o does. That would enable curl to use -b and -D on the same file...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Ellis Pritchard made getdate.y work for MacOS X.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-- Paul Harrington helped me out finding the crash in the
|
|
|
- cookie parser. He also pointed out curl's habit of sending empty cookies to
|
|
|
- the server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (8 February 2000):
|
|
|
- - Ron Zapp corrected a problem in src/urlglob.c that
|
|
|
- prevented curl from getting compiled on sunos 4. The problem had to do
|
|
|
- with the difference in sprintf() return code types.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Transfer() should now be able to download and upload simultaneously. Let's
|
|
|
- do some progress meter fixes later this week.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (31 January 2000):
|
|
|
- - Paul Harrington found another core dump in the cookie
|
|
|
- parser. Curl doesn't properly recognize the 'version' keyword and I think
|
|
|
- that is what caused this. I need to refresh some specs on cookies and see
|
|
|
- what else curl lacks to improve this a bit more once and for all.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- RFC 2109 clearly specifies how cookies should be dealt with when they are
|
|
|
- compliant with that spec. I don't think many servers are though...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Mark W. Eichin found that while curl is uploading a form
|
|
|
- to a web site, it doesn't read incoming data why it'll hang after a while
|
|
|
- since the socket "pipe" becomes full.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- It took me two hours to rewrite Download() and Upload() into the new
|
|
|
- single function Transfer(). It even seems to work! More testing is required
|
|
|
- of course... I should get the header-sending together in a kind of queue
|
|
|
- and let them get "uploaded" in Transfer() as well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Zhibiao Wu pointed out a curl bug in the location: area,
|
|
|
- although I did not get a reproducible way to do this why I have to wait
|
|
|
- with fixing anything.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Bob Schader suggested I should implement resume
|
|
|
- support for the HTTP PUT operation, and as I think it is a valid suggestion
|
|
|
- I'll work on it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (25 January 2000):
|
|
|
- - M Travis Obenhaus pointed out a manual mixup with -y and -Y that was
|
|
|
- corrected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Jens Schleusener pointed out a problem to compile
|
|
|
- curl on AIX 4.1.4 and gave me a solution. This problem was already fixed
|
|
|
- by Jörn's recent #include modifications!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 January 2000):
|
|
|
- - Oskar Liljeblad pointed out and corrected a problem
|
|
|
- in the Location: following system that made curl following a location: to a
|
|
|
- different protocol to fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- At January 31st I re-considered this fix and the surrounding source code. I
|
|
|
- could not really see that the patch did any difference, why I removed it
|
|
|
- again for further research and debugging. (It disabled location: following
|
|
|
- on server not running on default ports.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Jörn Hartroth brought a fix that once again
|
|
|
- made it possible to select progress bar.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Jörn also fixed a few include problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.4
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 January 2000):
|
|
|
- - Based on suggestions from Björn Stenberg, I made the
|
|
|
- progress deal better with larger files and added a "Time" field which shows
|
|
|
- the time spent on the download so far.
|
|
|
- - I'm now using the CVS repository on sourceforge.net, which also allows web
|
|
|
- browsing.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (10 January 2000):
|
|
|
- - Renumbered some enums in curl/curl.h since tag number 35 was used twice!
|
|
|
- - Added "postquote" support to the ftp section that enables post-ftp-transfer
|
|
|
- quote commands.
|
|
|
- - Now made the -Q/--quote parameter recognize '-' as a prefix, which means
|
|
|
- that command will be issued AFTER a successful ftp transfer. This can of
|
|
|
- course be used to delete or rename a file after it has been uploaded or
|
|
|
- downloaded. Use your imagination! ;-)
|
|
|
- - Since I do the main development on solaris 2.6 now, I had to download and
|
|
|
- install GNU groff to generate the hugehelp.c file. The solaris nroff cores
|
|
|
- on the man page! So, in order to make the solaris configure script find a
|
|
|
- better result I made gnroff get checked prior to the regular nroff.
|
|
|
- - Added all the curl exit codes to the man page.
|
|
|
- - Jim Gallagher properly tracked down a bug in autoconf
|
|
|
- 2.13. The AC_CHECK_LIB() macro wrongfully uses the -l flag before the -L
|
|
|
- flag to 'ld' which causes the HP-UX 10.20 flavour to fail on all libchecks
|
|
|
- and therefore you can't make the configure script find the openssl libs!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (28 December 1999):
|
|
|
- - Tim Verhoeven correctly identified that curl
|
|
|
- doesn't support URL formatted file names when getting ftp. Now, there's a
|
|
|
- problem with getting very weird file names off FTP servers. RFC 959 defines
|
|
|
- that the file name syntax to use should be the same as in the native OS of
|
|
|
- the server. Since we don't know the peer server system we currently just
|
|
|
- translate the URL syntax into plain letters. It is still better and with
|
|
|
- the solaris 2.6-supplied ftp server it works with spaces in the file names.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (27 December 1999):
|
|
|
- - When curl parsed cookies straight off a remote site, it corrupted the input
|
|
|
- data, which, if the downloaded headers were stored made very odd characters
|
|
|
- in the saved data. Correctly identified and reported by Paul Harrington.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (13 December 1999):
|
|
|
- - General cleanups in the library interface. There had been some bad kludges
|
|
|
- added during times of stress and I did my best to clean them off. It was
|
|
|
- both regarding the lib API as well as include file confusions.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (3 December 1999):
|
|
|
- - A small --stderr bug was reported by Eetu Ojanen...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - who also brought the suggestion of extending the -X flag to ftp list as
|
|
|
- well. So, now it is and the long option is now --request instead. It is
|
|
|
- only for ftp list for now (and the former http stuff too of course).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Lars J. Aas (24 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - Patched curl to compile and build under BeOS. Doesn't work yet though!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Corrected the Makefile.am files to allow putting object files in
|
|
|
- different directories than the sources.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.3.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (23 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - I've had this major disk crash. My good old trust-worthy source disk died
|
|
|
- along with the machine that hosted it. Thank goodness most of all the
|
|
|
- things I've done are either backed up elsewhere or stored in this CVS
|
|
|
- server!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Michael S. Steuer pointed out a bug in the -F handling
|
|
|
- that made curl hang if you posted an empty variable such as '-F name='. It
|
|
|
- was one of those old bugs that never have worked properly...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Jason Baietto pointed out a general flaw in the HTTP
|
|
|
- download. Curl didn't complain if it was prematurely aborted before the
|
|
|
- entire download was completed. It does now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (19 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - Chris Maltby very accurately criticized the lack of
|
|
|
- return code checks on the fwrite() calls. I did a thorough check for all
|
|
|
- occurrences and corrected this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Daniel (17 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - Paul Harrington pointed out that the -m/--max-time option
|
|
|
- doesn't work for the slow system calls like gethostbyname()... I don't have
|
|
|
- any good fix yet, just a slightly less bad one that makes curl exit hard
|
|
|
- when the timeout is reached.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Bjorn Reese helped me point out a possible problem that might be the reason
|
|
|
- why Thomas Hurst experience problems in his Amiga version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (12 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - I found a crash in the new cookie file parser. It crashed when you gave
|
|
|
- a plain http header file as input...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (10 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - I kind of found out that the HTTP time-conditional GETs (-z) aren't always
|
|
|
- respected by the web server and the document is therefore sent in whole
|
|
|
- again, even though it doesn't match the requested condition. After reading
|
|
|
- section 13.3.4 of RFC 2616, I think I'm doing the right thing now when I do
|
|
|
- my own check as well. If curl thinks the condition isn't met, the transfer
|
|
|
- is aborted prematurely (after all the headers have been received).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - After comments from Robert Linden I also rewrote some parts of the man page
|
|
|
- to better describe how the -F works.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Michael Anti put up a new curl download mirror in
|
|
|
- China: http://www.pshowing.com/curl/
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I added the list of download mirrors to the README file
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I did add more explanations to the man page
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (8 November 1999):
|
|
|
- - I made the -b/--cookie option capable of reading netscape formatted cookie
|
|
|
- files as well as normal http-header files. It should be able to
|
|
|
- transparently figure out what kind of file it got as input.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (29 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Another one of Sebastiaan van Erk's ideas (that has been requested before
|
|
|
- but I seem to have forgotten who it was), is to add support for ranges in
|
|
|
- FTP downloads. As usual, one request is just a request, when they're two
|
|
|
- it is a demand. I've added simple support for X-Y style fetches. X has to
|
|
|
- be the lower number, though you may omit one of the numbers. Use the -r/
|
|
|
- --range switch (previously HTTP-only).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Sebastiaan van Erk suggested that curl should be
|
|
|
- able to show the file size of a specified file. I think this is a splendid
|
|
|
- idea and the -I flag is now working for FTP. It displays the file size in
|
|
|
- this manner:
|
|
|
- Content-Length: XXXX
|
|
|
- As it resembles normal headers, and leaves us the opportunity to add more
|
|
|
- info in that display if we can come up with more in the future! It also
|
|
|
- makes sense since if you access ftp through a HTTP proxy, you'd get the
|
|
|
- file size the same way.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I changed the order of the QUOTE command executions. They're now executed
|
|
|
- just after the login and before any other command. I made this to enable
|
|
|
- quote commands to run before the -I stuff is done too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I found out that -D/--dump-header and -V/--version weren't documented in
|
|
|
- the man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Many HTTP/1.1 servers do not support ranges. Don't ask me why. I did add
|
|
|
- some text about this in the man page for the range option. The thread in
|
|
|
- the mailing list that started this was initiated by Michael Anti.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I get reports about nroff crashes on solaris 2.6+ when displaying the curl
|
|
|
- man page. Switch to gnroff instead, it is reported to work(!). Adam Barclay
|
|
|
- reported and brought the suggestion.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - In a dialogue with Johannes G. Kristinsson we came
|
|
|
- up with the idea to let -H/--header specified headers replace the
|
|
|
- internally generated headers, if you happened to select to add a header
|
|
|
- that curl normally uses by itself. The advantage with this is not entirely
|
|
|
- obvious, but in Johannes' case it means that he can use another Host: than
|
|
|
- the one curl would set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (27 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Jongki Suwandi brought a nice patch for (yet another) crash when following
|
|
|
- a location:. This time you had to follow a https:// server's redirect to
|
|
|
- get the core.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (21 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - I think I managed to remove the suspicious (nil) that has been seen just
|
|
|
- before the "Host:" in HTTP requests when -v was used.
|
|
|
- - I found out that if you followed a location: when using a proxy, without
|
|
|
- having specified http:// in the URL, the protocol part was added once again
|
|
|
- when moving to the next URL! (The protocol part has to be added to the
|
|
|
- URL when going through a proxy since it has no protocol-guessing system
|
|
|
- such as curl has.)
|
|
|
- - Benjamin Ritcey reported a core dump under solaris 2.6
|
|
|
- with OpenSSL 0.9.4. It turned out this was due to a bad free() in main.c
|
|
|
- that occurred after the download was done and completed.
|
|
|
- - Benjamin found ftp downloads to show the first line of the download meter
|
|
|
- to get written twice, and I removed that problem. It was introduced with
|
|
|
- the multiple URL support.
|
|
|
- - Dan Zitter correctly pointed out that curl 6.1 and earlier versions didn't
|
|
|
- honor RFC 2616 chapter 4 section 2, "Message Headers": "...Field names are
|
|
|
- case-insensitive..." HTTP header parsing assumed a certain casing. Dan
|
|
|
- also provided me with a patch that corrected this, which I took the liberty
|
|
|
- of editing slightly.
|
|
|
- - Dan Zitter also provided a nice patch for config.guess to better recognize
|
|
|
- the Mac OS X
|
|
|
- - Dan also corrected a minor problem in the lib/Makefile that caused linking
|
|
|
- to fail on OS X.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (19 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Len Marinaccio came up with some problems with curl. Since Windows has a
|
|
|
- crippled shell, it can't redirect stderr and that causes trouble. I added
|
|
|
- --stderr today which allows the user to redirect the stderr stream to a
|
|
|
- file or stdout.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (18 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - The configure script now understands the '--without-ssl' flag, which now
|
|
|
- totally disable SSL/https support. Previously it wasn't possible to force
|
|
|
- the configure script to leave SSL alone. The previous functionality has
|
|
|
- been retained. Troy Engel helped test this new one.
|
|

- - I ifdef'ed or commented all the zlib stuff in the sources and configure
|
|
|
- script. It turned out we needed to mock more with zlib than I initially
|
|
|
- thought, to make it capable of downloading compressed HTTP documents and
|
|
|
- uncompress them on the fly. I didn't mean the zlib parts of curl to become
|
|
|
- more than minor so this means I halt the zlib expedition for now and wait
|
|
|
- until someone either writes the code or zlib gets updated and better
|
|
|
- adjusted for this kind of usage. I won't get into details here, but a
|
|
|
- short a summary is suitable:
|
|
|
- - zlib can't automatically detect whether to use zlib or gzip
|
|
|
- decompression methods.
|
|
|
- - zlib is very neat for reading gzipped files from a file descriptor,
|
|
|
- although not as nice for reading buffer-based data such as we would
|
|
|
- want it.
|
|
|
- - there are still some problems with the win32 version when reading from
|
|
|
- a file descriptor if that is a socket
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (14 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Moved the (external) include files for libcurl into a subdirectory named
|
|
|
- curl and adjusted all #include lines to use <curl/XXXX> to maintain a
|
|
|
- better name space and control of the headers. This has been requested.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (12 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - I modified the 'maketgz' script to perform a 'make' too before a release
|
|
|
- archive is put together in an attempt to make the time stamps better and
|
|
|
- hopefully avoid the double configure-running that use to occur.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (11 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Applied Jörn's patches that fixes zlib for mingw32 compiles as well as
|
|
|
- some other missing zlib #ifdef and more text on the multiple URL docs in
|
|
|
- the man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.1beta
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (6 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Douglas E. Wegscheid sent me a patch that made the exact same thing as I
|
|
|
- just made: the -d switch is now capable of reading post data from a named
|
|
|
- file or stdin. Use it similarly to the -F. To read the post data from a
|
|
|
- given file:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -d @path/to/filename www.postsite.com
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- or let curl read it out from stdin:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -d @- www.postit.com
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Jörn Hartroth (3 October 1999):
|
|
|
- - Brought some more patches for multiple URL functionality. The MIME
|
|
|
- separation ideas are almost scrapped now, and a custom separator is being
|
|
|
- used instead. This is still compile-time "flagged".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel
|
|
|
- - Updated curl.1 with multiple URL info.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (30 September 1999):
|
|
|
- - Felix von Leitner brought openssl-check fixes for configure.in to work
|
|
|
- out-of-the-box when the openssl files are installed in the system default
|
|
|
- dirs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (28 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Added libz functionality. This should enable decompressing gzip, compress
|
|
|
- or deflate encoding HTTP documents. It also makes curl send an accept that
|
|
|
- it accepts that kind of encoding. Compressed contents usually shortens
|
|
|
- download time. I *need* someone to tell me a site that uses compressed HTTP
|
|
|
- documents so that I can test this out properly.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - As a result of the adding of zlib awareness, I changed the version string
|
|
|
- a little. I plan to add openldap version reporting in there too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (17 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made the -F option allow stdin when specifying files. By using '-' instead
|
|
|
- of file name, the data will be read from stdin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 6.0 (September 14 1999)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (13 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Added -X/--http-request <request> to enable any HTTP command to be sent.
|
|
|
- Do not that your server has to support the exact string you enter. This
|
|
|
- should possibly a string like DELETE or TRACE.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Applied Douglas' mingw32-fixes for the makefiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (10 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Douglas E. Wegscheid pointed out a problem. Curl didn't check the FTP
|
|
|
- servers return code properly after the --quote commands were issued. It
|
|
|
- took anything non 200 as an error, when all 2XX codes should be accepted as
|
|
|
- OK.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Sending cookies to the same site in multiple lines like curl used to do
|
|
|
- turned out to be bad and breaking the cookie specs. Curl now sends all
|
|
|
- cookies on a single Cookie: line. Curl is not yet RFC 2109 compliant, but I
|
|
|
- doubt that many servers do use that syntax (yet).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (8 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Jörn helped me make sure it still compiles nicely with mingw32 under win32.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (7 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - FTP upload through proxy is now turned into a HTTP PUT. Requested by
|
|
|
- Stefan Kanthak.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added the ldap files to the .m32 makefile.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (3 September 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made cookie matching work while using HTTP proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Bjorn Reese (31 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Passed his ldap:// patch. Note that this requires the openldap shared
|
|
|
- library to be installed and that LD_LIBRARY_PATH points to the
|
|
|
- directory where the lib will be found when curl is run with a
|
|
|
- ldap:// URL.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Jörn Hartroth (31 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made the Mingw32 makefiles into single files.
|
|
|
- - Made file:// work for Win32. The same code is now used for unix as well for
|
|
|
- performance reasons.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Douglas E. Wegscheid (30 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Patched the Mingw32 makefiles for SSL builds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Matthew Clarke (30 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made a cool patch for configure.in to allow --with-ssl to specify the
|
|
|
- root dir of the openssl installation, as in
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ./configure --with-ssl=/usr/ssl_here
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Corrected the 'reconf' script to work better with some shells.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Jörn Hartroth (26 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Fixed the Mingw32 makefiles in lib/ and corrected the file.c for win32
|
|
|
- compiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.11
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (25 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - John Weismiller pointed out a bug in the header-line
|
|
|
- realloc() system in download.c.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I added lib/file.[ch] to offer a first, simple, file:// support. It
|
|
|
- probably won't do much good on win32 system at this point, but I see it
|
|
|
- as a start.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made the release archives get a Makefile in the root dir, which can be
|
|
|
- used to start the compiling/building process easier. I haven't really
|
|
|
- changed any INSTALL text yet, I wanted to get some feed-back on this
|
|
|
- first.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (17 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Another Location: bug. Curl didn't do proper relative locations if the
|
|
|
- original URL had cgi-parameters that contained a slash. Nusu's page
|
|
|
- again.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Corrected the NO_PROXY usage. It is a list of substrings that if one of
|
|
|
- them matches the tail of the host name it should connect to, curl should
|
|
|
- not use a proxy to connect there. Pointed out to me by Douglas
|
|
|
- E. Wegscheid. I also changed the README text a little regarding this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (16 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Fixed a memory bug with http-servers that sent Location: to a Location:
|
|
|
- page. Nusu's page showed this too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made cookies work a lot better. Setting the same cookie name several times
|
|
|
- used to add more cookies instead of replacing the former one which it
|
|
|
- should've. Nusu <nus at intergorj.ro> brought me an URL that made this
|
|
|
- painfully visible...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy (15 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Brought new .spec files as well as a patch for configure.in that lets the
|
|
|
- configure script find the openssl files better, even when the include
|
|
|
- files are in /usr/include/openssl
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.10
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (13 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - SSL_CTX_set_default_passwd_cb() has been modified in the 0.9.4 version of
|
|
|
- OpenSSL. Now why couldn't they simply add a *new* function instead of
|
|
|
- modifying the parameters of an already existing function? This way, we get
|
|
|
- a compiler warning if compiling with 0.9.4 but not with earlier. So, I had
|
|
|
- to come up with a #if construction that deals with this...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made curl output the SSL version number get displayed properly with 0.9.4.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy (12 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Added MingW32 (GCC-2.95) support under Win32. The INSTALL file was also
|
|
|
- a bit rearranged.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (12 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - I had to copy a good <arpa/telnet.h> include file into the curl source
|
|
|
- tree to enable the silly win32 systems to compile. The distribution rights
|
|
|
- allows us to do that as long as the file remains unmodified.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I corrected a few minor things that made the compiler complain when
|
|
|
- -Wall -pedantic was used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I'm moving the official curl web page to curl.haxx.nu. I think it
|
|
|
- will make it easier to remember as it is a lot shorter and less cryptic.
|
|
|
- The old one still works and shows the same info.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (11 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Albert Chin-A-Young mailed me another correction for NROFF in the
|
|
|
- configure.in that is supposed to be better for IRIX users.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (10 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Albert Chin-A-Young helped me with some stupid Makefile things, as well as
|
|
|
- some fiddling with the getdate.c stuff that he had problems with under
|
|
|
- HP-UX v10. getdate.y will now be compiled into getdate.c if the appropriate
|
|
|
- yacc or bison is found by the configure script. Since this is slightly new,
|
|
|
- we need to test the output getdate.c with win32 systems to make sure it
|
|
|
- still compiles there.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (5 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - I've just setup a new mailing list with the intention to keep discussions
|
|
|
- around libcurl development in it. I mainly expect it to be for thoughts and
|
|
|
- brainstorming around a "next generation" library, rather than nitpicking
|
|
|
- about the current implementation or details in the current libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To join our happy bunch of future-looking geeks, enter 'subscribe
|
|
|
- <address>' in the body of a mail and send it to
|
|
|
- libcurl-request@listserv.fts.frontec.se. Curl bug reports, the usual curl
|
|
|
- talk and everything else should still be kept in this mailing list. I've
|
|
|
- started to archive this mailing list and have put the libcurl web page at
|
|
|
- www.fts.frontec.se/~dast/libcurl/.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Stefan Kanthak contacted me regarding a few problems in the configure
|
|
|
- script which he discovered when trying to make curl compile and build under
|
|
|
- Siemens SINIX-Z V5.42B2004!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Marcus Klein very accurately informed me that src/version.h was not present
|
|
|
- in the CVS repository. Oh, how silly...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Linus Nielsen rewrote the telnet:// part and now curl offers limited telnet
|
|
|
- support. If you run curl like 'curl telnet://host' you'll get all output on
|
|
|
- the screen and curl will read input from stdin. You'll be able to login and
|
|
|
- run commands etc, but since the output is buffered, expect to get a little
|
|
|
- weird output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This is still in its infancy and it might get changed. We need your
|
|
|
- feed-back and input in how this is best done.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- WIN32 NOTE: I bet we'll get problems when trying to compile the current
|
|
|
- lib/telnet.c on win32, but I think we can sort them out in time.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - David Sanderson reported that FORCE_ALLOCA_H or HAVE_ALLOCA_H must be
|
|
|
- defined for getdate.c to compile properly on HP-UX 11.0. I updated the
|
|
|
- configure script to check for alloca.h which should make it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (4 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - I finally got to understand Marcus Klein's ftp download resume problem,
|
|
|
- which turns out to be due to different outputs from different ftp
|
|
|
- servers. It makes ftp download resuming a little trickier, but I've made
|
|
|
- some modifications I really believe will work for most ftp servers and I do
|
|
|
- hope you report if you have problems with this!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added text about file transfer resuming to README.curl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (2 August 1999)
|
|
|
- - Applied a progress-bar patch from Lars J. Aas. It offers
|
|
|
- a new styled progress bar enabled with -#/--progress-bar.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- T. Yamada <tai at imasy.or.jp> (30 July 1999)
|
|
|
- - It breaks with segfault when 1) curl is using .netrc to obtain
|
|
|
- username/password (option '-n'), and 2) is automatically redirected to
|
|
|
- another location (option '-L').
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- There is a small bug in lib/url.c (block starting from line 641), which
|
|
|
- tries to take out username/password from user- supplied command-line
|
|
|
- argument ('-u' option). This block is never executed on first attempt since
|
|
|
- CONF_USERPWD bit isn't set at first, but curl later turns it on when it
|
|
|
- checks for CONF_NETRC bit. So when curl tries to redo everything due to
|
|
|
- redirection, it segfaults trying to access *data->userpwd.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.9.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (30 July 1999)
|
|
|
- - Steve Walch pointed out that there is a memory leak in the formdata
|
|
|
- functions. I added a FormFree() function that is now used and supposed to
|
|
|
- correct this flaw.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Mark Wotton reported:
|
|
|
- 'curl -L https://www.cwa.com.au/' core dumps. I managed to cure this by
|
|
|
- correcting the cleanup procedure. The bug seems to be gone with my OpenSSL
|
|
|
- 0.9.2b, although still occurs when I run the ~100 years old SSLeay 0.8.0. I
|
|
|
- don't know whether it is curl or SSLeay that is to blame for that.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Marcus Klein:
|
|
|
- Reported an FTP upload resume bug that I really can't repeat nor understand.
|
|
|
- I leave it here so that it won't be forgotten.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (29 July 1999)
|
|
|
- - Costya Shulyupin suggested support for longer URLs when following Location:
|
|
|
- and I could only agree and fix it!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Leigh Purdie found a problem in the upload/POST department. It turned out
|
|
|
- that http.c accidentaly cleared the pointer instead of the byte counter
|
|
|
- when supposed to.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Costya Shulyupin pointed out a problem with port numbers and Location:. If
|
|
|
- you had a server at a non-standard port that redirected to an URL using a
|
|
|
- standard port number, curl still used that first port number.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Ralph Beckmann pointed out a problem when using both CONF_FOLLOWLOCATION
|
|
|
- and CONF_FAILONERROR simultaneously. Since the CONF_FAILONERROR exits on
|
|
|
- the 302-code that the follow location header outputs it will never show any
|
|
|
- html on location: pages. I have now made it look for >=400 codes if
|
|
|
- CONF_FOLLOWLOCATION is set.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - 'struct slist' is now renamed to 'struct curl_slist' (as suggested by Ralph
|
|
|
- Beckmann).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Joshua Swink and Rick Welykochy were the first to point out to me that the
|
|
|
- latest OpenSSL package now have moved the standard include path. It is now
|
|
|
- in /usr/local/ssl/include/openssl and I have now modified the --enable-ssl
|
|
|
- option for the configure script to use that as the primary path, and I
|
|
|
- leave the former path too to work with older packages of OpenSSL too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (9 June 1999)
|
|
|
- - I finally understood the IRIX problem and now it seem to compile on it!
|
|
|
- I am gonna remove those #define strcasecmp() things once and for all now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (4 June 1999)
|
|
|
- - I adjusted the FTP reply 227 parser to make the PASV command work better
|
|
|
- with more ftp servers. Appearantly the Roxen Challanger server replied
|
|
|
- something curl 5.9 could deal with! :-( Reported by Ashley Reid-Montanaro
|
|
|
- and Mark Butler brought a solution for it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (26 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Rearranged. README is new, the old one is now README.curl and I added a
|
|
|
- README.libcurl with text I got from Ralph Beckmann.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I also updated the INSTALL text.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (25 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - David Jonathan Lowsky correctly pointed out that curl didn't properly deal
|
|
|
- with form posting where the variable shouldn't have any content, as in curl
|
|
|
- -F "form=" www.site.com. It was now fixed.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.9 (May 22 1999)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (22 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - I've got a bug report from Aaron Scarisbrick in which he states he has some
|
|
|
- problems with -L under FreeBSD 3.0. I have previously got another bug
|
|
|
- report from Stefan Grether which points at an error with similar sympthoms
|
|
|
- when using win32. I made the allocation of the new url string a bit faster
|
|
|
- and different, don't know if it actually improves anything though...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (20 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made the cookie parser deal with CRLF newlines too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (19 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Download() didn't properly deal with failing return codes from the sread()
|
|
|
- function. Adam Coyne found the problem in the win32 version, and Troy Engel
|
|
|
- helped me out isolating it.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (16 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Richard Adams pointed out a bug I introduced in 5.8. --dump-header doesn't
|
|
|
- work anymore! :-/ I fixed it now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - After a suggestion by Joshua Swink I added -S / --show-error to force curl
|
|
|
- to display the error message in case of an error, even if -s/--silent was
|
|
|
- used.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (10 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - I moved the stuff concerning HTTP, DICT and TELNET it their own source
|
|
|
- files now. It is a beginning on my clean-up of the sources to make them
|
|
|
- layer all those protocols better to enable more to be added easier in the
|
|
|
- future!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Leon Breedt sent me some files I've not put into the main curl
|
|
|
- archive. They're for creating the Debian package thingie. He also sent me a
|
|
|
- debian package that I've made available for download at the web page
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (9 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made it compile on cygwin too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy Engel (7 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - Brought a series of patches to allow curl to compile smoothly on MSVC++ 6
|
|
|
- again!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (6 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - I changed the #ifdef HAVE_STRFTIME placement for the -z code so that it
|
|
|
- will be easier to discover systems that don't have that function and thus
|
|
|
- can't use -z successfully. Made the strftime() get used if WIN32 is defined
|
|
|
- too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.8
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (5 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - I've had it with this autoconf/automake mess. It seems to work allright
|
|
|
- for most people who don't have automake installed, but for those who have
|
|
|
- there are problems all over.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I've got like five different bug reports on this only the last
|
|
|
- week... Claudio Neves and Federico Bianchi and root <duggerj001 at
|
|
|
- hawaii.rr.com> are some of them reporting this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Currently, I have no really good fix since I want to use automake myself to
|
|
|
- generate the Makefile.in files. I've found out that the @SHELL@-problems
|
|
|
- can often be fixed by manually invoking 'automake' in the archive root
|
|
|
- before you run ./configure... I've hacked my maketgz script now to fiddle
|
|
|
- a bit with this and my tests seem to work better than before at least!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (4 May 1999)
|
|
|
- - mkhelp.pl has been doing badly lately. I corrected a case problem in
|
|
|
- the regexes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I've now remade the -o option to not touch the file unless it needs to.
|
|
|
- I had to do this to make -z option really fine, since now you can make a
|
|
|
- curl fetch and use a local copy's time when downloading to that file, as
|
|
|
- in:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -z dump -o dump remote.site.com/file.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- This will only get the file if the remote one is newer than the local.
|
|
|
- I'm aware that this alters previous behaviour a little. Some scripts out
|
|
|
- there may depend on that the file is always touched...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Corrected a bug in the SSLv2/v3 selection.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Felix von Leitner requested that curl should be able to send
|
|
|
- "If-Modified-Since" headers, which indeed is a fair idea. I implemented it
|
|
|
- right away! Try -z <expression> where expression is a full GNU date
|
|
|
- expression or a file name to get the date from!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Stephan Lagerholm (30 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
- - Pointed out a problem with the src/Makefile for FreeBSD. The RM variable
|
|
|
- isn't set and causes the make to fail.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (26 April 1999)
|
|
|
- - Am I silly or what? Irving Wolfe pointed out to me that the curl version
|
|
|
- number was not set properly. Hasn't been since 5.6. This was due to a bug
|
|
|
- in my maketgz script!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- David Eriksson (25 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
- - Found a bug in cookies.c that made it crash at times.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.7.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Doug Kaufman (23 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
- - Brought two sunos 4 fixes. One of them being the hostip.c fix mentioned
|
|
|
- below and the other one a correction in include/stdcheaders.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added a paragraph about compiling with the US-version of openssl to the
|
|
|
- INSTALL file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel
|
|
|
- - New mailing list address. Info updated on the web page as well as in the
|
|
|
- README file
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Greg Onufer (20 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
- - hostip.c didn't compile properly on SunOS 5.5.1.
|
|
|
- It needs an #include <sys/types.h>
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.7
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Apr 20 1999)
|
|
|
- - Decided to upload a non-beta version right now!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made curl support any-length HTTP headers. The destination buffer is now
|
|
|
- simply enlarged every time it turns out to be too small!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added the FAQ file to the archive. Still a bit smallish, but it is a
|
|
|
- start.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Eric Thelin (15 Apr 1999)
|
|
|
- - Made -D accept '-' instead of filename to write to stdout.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.6.3beta
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Apr 12 1999)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Changed two #ifdef WIN32 to better #ifdef <errorcode> when connect()ing
|
|
|
- in url.c and ftp.c. Makes cygwin32 deal with them better too. We should
|
|
|
- try to get some decent win32-replacement there. Anyone?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - The old -3/--crlf option is now ONLY --crlf!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I changed the "SSL fix" to a more lame one, but that doesn't remove as
|
|
|
- much functionality. Now I've enabled the lib to select what SSL version it
|
|
|
- should try first. Appearantly some older SSL-servers don't like when you
|
|
|
- talk v3 with them so you need to be able to force curl to talk v2 from the
|
|
|
- start. The fix dated April 6 and posted on the mailing list forced curl to
|
|
|
- use v2 at all times using a modern OpenSSL version, but we don't really
|
|
|
- want such a crippled solution.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Marc Boucher sent me a patch that corrected a math error for the
|
|
|
- "Curr.Speed" progress meter.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Eric Thelin sent me a patch that enables '-K -' to read a config file from
|
|
|
- stdin.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I found out we didn't close the file properly before so I added it!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Apr 9 1999)
|
|
|
- - Yu Xin pointed out a problem with ftp download resume. It didn't work at
|
|
|
- all! ;-O
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Apr 6 1999)
|
|
|
- - Corrected the version string part generated for the SSL version.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - I found a way to make some other SSL page work with openssl 0.9.1+ that
|
|
|
- previously didn't (ssleay 0.8.0 works with it though!). Trying to get
|
|
|
- some real info from the OpenSSL guys to see how I should do to behave the
|
|
|
- best way. SSLeay 0.8.0 shouldn't be that much in use anyway these days!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.6.2beta
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Apr 4 1999)
|
|
|
- - Finally have curl more cookie "aware". Now read carefully. This is how
|
|
|
- it works.
|
|
|
- To make curl read cookies from an already existing file, in plain header-
|
|
|
- format (like from the headers of a previous fetch) invoke curl with the
|
|
|
- -b flag like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -b file http://site/foo.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Curl will then use all cookies it finds matching. The old style that sets
|
|
|
- a single cookie with -b is still supported and is used if the string
|
|
|
- following -b includes a '=' letter, as in "-b name=daniel".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To make curl read the cookies sent in combination with a location: (which
|
|
|
- sites often do) point curl to read a non-existing file at first (i.e
|
|
|
- to start with no existing cookies), like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -b nowhere http://site/setcookieandrelocate.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added a paragraph in the TODO file about the SSL problems recently
|
|
|
- reported. Evidently, some kind of SSL-problem curl may need to address.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Better "Location:" following.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Douglas E. Wegscheid (Tue, 30 Mar 1999)
|
|
|
- - A subsecond display patch.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Mar 14 1999)
|
|
|
- - I've separated the version number of libcurl and curl now. To make
|
|
|
- things a little easier, I decided to start the curl numbering from
|
|
|
- 5.6 and the former version number known as "curl" is now the one
|
|
|
- set for libcurl.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Removed the 'enable-no-pass' from configure, I doubt anyone wanted
|
|
|
- that.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made lots of tiny adjustments to compile smoothly with cygwin under
|
|
|
- win32. It's a killer for porting this to win32, bye bye VC++! ;-)
|
|
|
- Compiles and builds out-of-the-box now. See the new wordings in
|
|
|
- INSTALL for details.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Beginning experiments with downloading multiple document from a http
|
|
|
- server while remaining connected.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.6beta
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Mar 13 1999)
|
|
|
- - Since I've changed so much, I thought I'd just go ahead and implement the
|
|
|
- suggestion from Douglas E. Wegscheid. -D or --dump-header is now storing
|
|
|
- HTTP headers separately in the specified file.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added new text to INSTALL on what to do to build this on win32 now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Aaargh. I had to take a step back and prefix the shared #include files
|
|
|
- in the sources with "../include/" to please VC++...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Mar 12 1999)
|
|
|
- - Split the url.c source into many tiny sources for better readability
|
|
|
- and smaller size.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Mar 11 1999)
|
|
|
- - Started to change stuff for a move to make libcurl and a more separate
|
|
|
- curl application that uses the libcurl. Made the libcurl sources into
|
|
|
- the new lib directory while the curl application will remain in src as
|
|
|
- before. New makefiles, adjusted configure script and so.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- libcurl.a built quickly and easily. I better make a better interface to
|
|
|
- the lib functions though.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The new root dir include/ is supposed to contain the public information
|
|
|
- about the new libcurl. It is a little ugly so far :-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Mar 1 1999)
|
|
|
- - Todd Kaufmann sent me a good link to Netscape's cookie spec as well as the
|
|
|
- info that RFC 2109 specifies how to use them. The link is now in the
|
|
|
- README and the RFC in the RESOURCES.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Feb 23 1999)
|
|
|
- - Finally made configure accept --with-ssl to look for SSL libs and includes
|
|
|
- in the "standard" place /usr/local/ssl...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel (Feb 22 1999)
|
|
|
- - Verified that curl linked fine with OpenSSL 0.9.1c which seems to be
|
|
|
- the most recent.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Henri Gomez (Fri Feb 5 1999)
|
|
|
- - Sent in an updated curl-ssl.spec. I still miss the script that builds an
|
|
|
- RPM automatically...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.5.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Mark Butler (27 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Corrected problems in Download().
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Danitel Stenberg (25 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Jeremie Petit pointed out a few flaws in the source that prevented it from
|
|
|
- compile warning free with the native compiler under Digital Unix v4.0d.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.5
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (15 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Added Bjorns small text to the README about the DICT protocol.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - <jswink at softcom.net> reported about the win32-versioin: "Doesn't use
|
|
|
- ALL_PROXY environment variable". Turned out to be because of the static-
|
|
|
- buffer nature of the win32 environment variable calls!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Bjorn Reese (10 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - I have attached a simple addition for the DICT protocol (RFC 2229).
|
|
|
- It performs dictionary lookups. The output still needs to be better
|
|
|
- formatted.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- To test it try (the exact format, and more examples are described in
|
|
|
- the RFC)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- dict://dict.org/m:hello
|
|
|
- dict://dict.org/m:hello::soundex
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Vicente Garcia (10 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Corrected the progress meter for files larger than 20MB.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Corrected the -t and -T help texts. They claimed to be FTP only.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.4
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- (7 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Irving Wolfe reported that curl -s didn't always supress the progress
|
|
|
- reporting. It was the form post that autoamtically always switched it on
|
|
|
- again. This is now corrected!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (4 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Andreas Kostyrka suggested I'd add PUT and he helped me out to test it. If
|
|
|
- you use -t or -T now on a http or https server, PUT will be used for file
|
|
|
- upload.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I removed the former use of -T with HTTP. I doubt anyone ever really used
|
|
|
- that.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (4 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - Erik Jacobsen found a width bug in the mprintf() function. I corrected it
|
|
|
- now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (4 Jan 1999)
|
|
|
- - As John V. Chow pointed out to me, curl accepted very limited URL sizes. It
|
|
|
- should now accept path parts that are up to at least 4096 bytes.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Somehow I screwed up when applying the AIX fix from Gilbert Ramirez, so
|
|
|
- I redid that now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.3a (win32 only)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy Engel
|
|
|
- - Corrected a win32 bug in the environment variable part.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.3
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Gilbert Ramirez Jr. (21 Dec 1998)
|
|
|
- - I have implemented the "quote" function of FTP clients. It allows you to
|
|
|
- send arbitrary commands to the remote FTP server. I chose the -Q/--quote
|
|
|
- command-line arguments.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- You can have more than one quoted string, and curl will apply them in
|
|
|
- order. This is what I use for my MVS upload:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- curl -B --crlf -Q "site lrecl=80" -Q "site blk=8000" -T file ftp://os390/test
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Curl will send the two quoted "site" commands in the proper order.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Made it compile smoothly on AIX.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Gilbert Ramirez Jr. (18 Dec 1998)
|
|
|
- - Brought an MVS patch: -3/--mvs, for ftp upload to the MVS ftp server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy Engel (17 Dec 1998)
|
|
|
- - Brought a correction that fixes the win32 curl bug.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - A bug, pointed out to me by Dr H. T. Leung, caused curl to crash on the -A
|
|
|
- flag on certain systems. Actually, all systems should've!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added a few defines to make directories/file names get build nicer (with _
|
|
|
- instead of . and \ instead of / in win32).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - steve <fisk at polar.bowdoin.edu> reported a weird bug that occured if the
|
|
|
- ftp server response line had a parenthesis on the line before the (size)
|
|
|
- info. I hope it works better now!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.2.1
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Steven G. Johnson (Dec 14, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Brought a fix that corrected a crash in 5.2 due to bad treatment of the
|
|
|
- environment variables.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.2
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Dec 14, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Rewrote the mkhelp script and now, the mkhelp.pl script generates the
|
|
|
- hugehelp.c file from the README *and* the man page file curl.1. By using
|
|
|
- both files, I no longer need to have double information in both the man
|
|
|
- page and the README as well. So, win32-users will only have the hugehelp.c
|
|
|
- file for all info, but then, they download the plain binary most times
|
|
|
- anyway.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - gcc2.8.1 with the -Wall flag complaints a lot on subscript has type `char'
|
|
|
- if I don't explicitly typecast the argument to isdigit() or isspace() to
|
|
|
- int. So I did to compile warning free with that too.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added checks for 'long double' and 'long long' in the configure script. I
|
|
|
- need those for the mprintf.c source to compile well on non long long
|
|
|
- comforming systems!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 5.1 (not publicly released)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Dec 10, 1998)
|
|
|
- - I got a request for a pre-compiled NT Alpha version. Anyone?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Added Lynx/CERN www lib proxy environment variable support. That means curl
|
|
|
- now reads and understands the following environment variables:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, GOPHER_PROXY
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- They should be set for protocol-specific proxies. General proxy should be
|
|
|
- set with
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ALL_PROXY
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- And a comma-separated list of host names that shouldn't go through any
|
|
|
- proxy is set in (only an asterisk, '*' matches all hosts).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- NO_PROXY
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- The usage of the -x/--proxy flag overrides the environment variables.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Proxy can now be specified with a procotol:// prefix.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Wrote the curl.1 man page.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Introduced a whole new dynamic buffer system for all sprintf()s. It is
|
|
|
- based on the *printf() package by yours truly and Bjorn Reese. Hopefully,
|
|
|
- there aren't that many buffer overflow risks left now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Ah, I should mention I've compiled and built curl successfully under
|
|
|
- solaris 2.6 with gcc now, gcc 2.7.2 won't work but 2.8.1 did ok.
|
|

|
|
|
- Oren Tirosh (Dec 3, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Brought two .spec files, to use when creating (Linux) Redhat style RPM
|
|
|
- packages. They're named curl.spec and curl-ssl.spec.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Troy Engel
|
|
|
- - Supplied the src/Makefile.vc6 for easy compiling with VC++ under Win32.

-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Dec 1, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Not a single bug report in ages.
|
|
|
- - Corrected getpass.c and main.c to compile warning and error free with the
|
|
|
- Win32 VC++ crap.

- HOW TO BUILD A RELEASE ARCHIVE:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Pre-requisite software:
|
|
|
- What To build what Reads data from
|
|
|
- ==== ============= ===============
|
|
|
- GNU automake Makefile.in, aclocal.m4 configure.in
|
|
|
- GNU make(1) - " -
|
|
|
- GNU gcc(1) - " -
|
|
|
- GNU autoconf configure configure.in
|
|
|
- GNU autoheader(2) config.h.in configure.in, acconfig.h
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Make sure all files that should be part of the archive are put in FILES.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * Run './maketgz' and enter version number of the new to become archive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- maketgz does:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Enters the newly created version number in url.h.
|
|
|
- - (If you don't have automake, this script will warn about that, but unless
|
|
|
- you have changed the Makefile.am files, that is nothing to care about.)
|
|
|
- If you have it, it'll run it.
|
|
|
- - If you have autoconf, the configure.in will be edited to get the newly
|
|
|
- created version number and autoconf will be run.
|
|
|
- - Creates a new directory named curl-<version>. (Actually, it uses the base
|
|
|
- name of the current directory up to the first '-'.)
|
|
|
- - Copies all files mentioned in FILES to the new directory. Saving
|
|
|
- permissions and directory structure.
|
|
|
- - Uses tar to create an archive of it all, named curl-<version>.tar.gz
|
|
|
- - gzips the archive
|
|
|
- - Removes the new directory and all its contents.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- * When done, you have an archive stored in your directory named
|
|
|
- curl-<version>.tar.gz.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Done!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- (1) They're required to make automake run properly.
|
|
|
- (2) It is distributed as a part of the GNU autoconf archive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 18, 1998)
|
|
|
- - I changed the TAG-system. If you ever used urlget() from this package in
|
|
|
- another product, you need to recompile with the new headers. I did this
|
|
|
- new stuff to better deal with different compilers and system with different
|
|
|
- variable sizes. I think it makes it a little more portable. This proves
|
|
|
- to compile warning free with the problematic IRIX compiler!
|
|
|
- - Win32 compiled with a silly error. Corrected now.
|
|
|
- - Brian Chaplin reported yet another problem in
|
|
|
- multiline FTP responses. I've tried to correct it. I mailed him a new
|
|
|
- version and I hope he gets back soon with positive feedback!
|
|
|
- - Improved the 'maketgz' to create a temporary directory tree which it makes
|
|
|
- an archive from instead of the previous renaming of the current one.
|
|
|
- - Mailing list opened (see README).
|
|
|
- - Made -v more verbose on the PASV section of ftp transfers. Now it tells
|
|
|
- host name and IP of the new host (and port number). I also added a section
|
|
|
- about PORT vs PASV in the README.

-Version 5.0 beta 21
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Angus Mackay (Nov 15, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Introduced automake stuff.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 13, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Just made a successful GET of a document from an SSL-server using my own
|
|
|
- private certificate for authentication! The certificate has to be in PEM
|
|
|
- format. You do that the easiest way (although not *that* easy) by
|
|
|
- downloading the SSLyeay PKCS#12-patch by Dr Stephen N. Henson from his site
|
|
|
- at: http://www.drh-consultancy.demon.co.uk/. Using his tool, you can
|
|
|
- convert any modern Netscape or (even) MSIE certificate to PEM-format. Use
|
|
|
- it with 'curl -E <certificate:password> https://site.com'. If this isn't a
|
|
|
- cool feature, then I don't know what cool features look like! ;-)
|
|
|
- - Working slowly on telnet connections. #define TRY_TELNET to try it out.
|
|
|
- (curl -u user:passwd "telnet://host.com/cat .login" is one example) I do
|
|
|
- have problem to define how it should work. The prime purpose for this must
|
|
|
- be to get (8bit clean) files via telnet, and it really isn't that easy to
|
|
|
- get files this way. Still having problems with \n being converted to \r\n.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Angus Mackay (Nov 12, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Corrected another bug in the long parameter name parser.
|
|
|
- - Modified getpass.c (NOTE: see the special licensing in the top of that
|
|
|
- source file).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 12, 1998)
|
|
|
- - We may have removed the silly warnings from url.c when compiled under IRIX.
|
|
|
- Thanks again to Bjorn Reese and Martin Staael.
|
|
|
- - Wrote formfind.pl which is a new perl script intended to help you find out
|
|
|
- how a FORM submission should be done. This needs a little more work to get
|
|
|
- really good.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 11, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Made the HTTP header-checker accept white spaces before the HTTP/1.? line.
|
|
|
- Appearantly some proxies/sites add such at times (my test proxy did when I
|
|
|
- downloaded a gopher page with it)!
|
|
|
- - Moved the former -h to -M and made -h show the short help text instead. I
|
|
|
- had to enable a forced help text option. Now an even shorter help text will
|
|
|
- be presented when an unknown option and similar, is used.
|
|
|
- - stdcheaders.h didn't work with IRIX 6.4 native cc compiler. I hope my
|
|
|
- changes don't make other versions go nuts instead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 10, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Added a weird check in the configure script to check for the silly AIX
|
|
|
- warnings about my #define strcasecmp() stuff. I do that define to prevent
|
|
|
- me and other contributors to accidentaly use that function name instead
|
|
|
- of strequal()...
|
|
|
- - I bugfixed Angus's getpass.c very little.
|
|
|
- - Fixed the verbose flag names to getopt-style, i.e 'curl --loc' will be
|
|
|
- sufficient instead of --location as "loc" is a unique prefix. Also, anything
|
|
|
- after a '--' is treated as an URL. So if you do have a host with a weeeird
|
|
|
- name you can do 'curl -- -host.com'.
|
|
|
- - Another getopt-adjust; curl now accepts flags after the URL on the command
|
|
|
- line. 'curl www.foo.com -O' is perfectly valid.
|
|
|
- - Corrected the .curlrc parser so that strtok() is no longer used and I
|
|
|
- believe it works better. Even URLs can be specified in it now.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Angus Mackay (Nov 9, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Replaced getpass.c with a newly written one, not under GPL license
|
|
|
- - Changed OS to a #define in config.h instead of compiler flag
|
|
|
- - Makefile now uses -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 9, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Ok, I expanded the tgz-target to update the version string on each occation
|
|
|
- I build a release archive!
|
|
|
- - I reacted on Angus Mackay's initiative and remade the parameter parser to
|
|
|
- be more getopt compliant. Curl now supports "merged" flags as in
|
|
|
- curl -lsv ftp.site.com
|
|
|
- Do note that I had to move three short-names of the options. Parameters
|
|
|
- that needs an additional string such as -x must be stand-alone or the
|
|
|
- last in a merged sequence:
|
|
|
- curl -lsx my-proxy ftp.site.com
|
|
|
- is ok, but using the flags in a different order like '-lxs' would cause
|
|
|
- unexpected results (as the 's' option would be skipped).
|
|
|
- - I've changed the headers in all files that are subject to the MozPL
|
|
|
- license, as they are supposed to look like when conforming.
|
|
|
- - Made the configure script make the config.h. The former config.h is now
|
|
|
- setup.h.
|
|
|
- - The RESOURCES and TODO files have been added to the archive.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Angus Mackay (Nov 5, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Fixed getpass.c and various configure stuff
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg (Nov 3, 1998)
|
|
|
- - Use -H/--header for custom HTTP-headers. Lets you pass on your own
|
|
|
- specified headers to the remote server. I wouldn't recommend trying to use
|
|
|
- a header with a defined usage according to standards. Use this flag once
|
|
|
- for every custom header you want to add.
|
|
|
- - Use -B/--ftp-ascii to force ftp to use ASCII mode when transfering files.
|
|
|
- - Corrected the 'getlinks.pl' script, I accidentally left my silly proxy
|
|
|
- usage in there! Since the introduction of the .curlrc file, it is easier to
|
|
|
- write scripts that use curl since proxies and stuff should be in the
|
|
|
- .curlrc file anyway.
|
|
|
- - Introducing the new -F flag for HTTP POST. It supports multipart/form-data
|
|
|
- which means it is gonna be possible to upload files etc through HTTP POST.
|
|
|
- Shiraz Kanga asked for the feature and my brother,
|
|
|
- Björn Stenberg helped me design the user
|
|
|
- interface for this beast. This feature requires quite some docs,
|
|
|
- since it has turned out not only quite capable, but also complicated! :-)
|
|
|
- - A note here, since I've received mail about it. SSLeay versions prior to
|
|
|
- 0.8 will *not* work with curl!
|
|
|
- - Wil Langford reported a bug that occurred since curl
|
|
|
- did not properly use CRLF when issuing ftp commands. I fixed it.
|
|
|
- - Rearranged the order config files are read. .curlrc is now *always* read
|
|
|
- first and before the command line flags. -K config files then act as
|
|
|
- additional config items.
|
|
|
- - Use -q AS THE FIRST OPTION specified to prevent .curlrc from being read.
|
|
|
- - You can now disable a proxy by using -x "". Useful if the .curlrc file
|
|
|
- specifies a proxy and you wanna fetch something without going through
|
|
|
- that.
|
|
|
- - I'm thinking of dropping the -p support. Its really not useful since ports
|
|
|
- could (and should?) be specified as :<port> appended on the host name
|
|
|
- instead, both in URLs and to proxy host names.
|
|
|
- - Martin Staael reports curl -L bugs under Windows NT
|
|
|
- (test with URL http://come.to/scsde). This bug is not present in this
|
|
|
- version anymore.
|
|
|
- - Added support for the weird FTP URL type= thing. You can download a file
|
|
|
- using ASCII transfer by appending ";type=A" to the right of it. Other
|
|
|
- available types are type=D for dir-list (NLST) and type=I for binary
|
|
|
- transfer. I can't say I've ever seen anyone use this kind of URL though!
|
|
|
- :-)
|
|
|
- - Troy Engel pointed out a bug in my getenv("HOME")
|
|
|
- usage for win32 systems. I introduce getenv.c to better cope with
|
|
|
- this. Mr Engel helps me with the details around that...
|
|
|
- - A little note to myself and others, I should make the win32-binary built
|
|
|
- with SSL support...
|
|
|
- - Ryan Nelson sent me comments about building curl
|
|
|
- with SSL under FreeBSD. See the Makefile for details. Using the configure
|
|
|
- script, it should work better and automatically now...
|
|
|
- - Cleaned up in the port number mess in the source. No longer stores and uses
|
|
|
- proxy port number separate from normal port number.
|
|
|
- - 'configure' script working. Confirmed compiles on:
|
|
|
- Host SSL Compiler
|
|
|
- SunOS 5.5 no gcc
|
|
|
- SunOS 5.5.1 yes gcc
|
|
|
- SunOS 5.6 no cc (with gcc, it has the "gcc include files" problem)
|
|
|
- SunOS 4.1.3 no gcc (without ANSI C headers)
|
|
|
- SunOS 4.1.2 no gcc (native compiler failed)
|
|
|
- Linux 2.0.18 no gcc
|
|
|
- Linux 2.0.32 yes gcc
|
|
|
- Linux 2.0.35 no gcc (with glibc)
|
|
|
- IRIX 6.2 no gcc (cc compiles generate a few warnings)
|
|
|
- IRIX 6.4 no cc (generated warnings though)
|
|
|
- Win32 no Borland
|
|
|
- OSF4.0 no ?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- - Ooops. The 5beta (and 4.10) under win32 failed if the HOME variable wasn't
|
|
|
- set.
|
|
|
- - When using a proxy, curl now guesses and uses the protocol part in cases
|
|
|
- like:
|
|
|
- curl -x proxy:80 www.site.com
|
|
|
- Proxies normally go nuts unless http:// is prepended to the host name, so
|
|
|
- if curl is used like this, it guesses protocol and appends the protocol
|
|
|
- string before passing it to the proxy. It already did this when used
|
|
|
- without proxy.
|
|
|
- - Better port usage with SSL through proxy now. If you specified a different
|
|
|
- https-port when accessing through a proxy, it didn't use that number
|
|
|
- correctly. I also rewrote the code that parses the stuff read from the
|
|
|
- proxy when you wanna connect through it with SSL.
|
|
|
- - Bjorn Reese helped me work around one of the compiler
|
|
|
- warnings on IRIX native cc compiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.10 (Oct 26, 1998)
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - John A. Bristor suggested a config file switch,
|
|
|
- and since I've been having that idea kind of in the background for a long
|
|
|
- time I rewrote the parameter parsing function a little and now I introduce
|
|
|
- the -K/--config flag. I also made curl *always* (unless -K is used) try to
|
|
|
- load the .curlrc file for command line parameters. The syntax for the
|
|
|
- config file is the standard command line argument style. Details in 'curl
|
|
|
- -h' or the README.
|
|
|
- - I removed the -k option. Keep-alive isn't really anything anyone would
|
|
|
- want to enable with curl anyway.
|
|
|
- - Martin Staael helped me add the 'irix' target. Now
|
|
|
- "make irix" should build curl successfully on non-gcc SGI machines.
|
|
|
- - Single switches now toggle behaviours. I.e if you use -v -v the second
|
|
|
- will switch off the verbose mode the first one enabled. This is so that
|
|
|
- you can disable a default setting a .curlrc file enables etc.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.9 (Oct 7, 1998)
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Martin Staael suggested curl would support cookies.
|
|
|
- I added -b/--cookie to enable free-text cookie data to be passed. There's
|
|
|
- also a little blurb about general cookie stuff in the README/help text.
|
|
|
- - dmh <dmh at jet.es> suggested HTTP resume capabilities. Although you could
|
|
|
- manually get curl to resume HTTP documents, I made the -c resume flag work
|
|
|
- for HTTP too (unless -r is used too, which would be very odd anyway).
|
|
|
- - Added checklinks.pl to the archive. It is a still experimental perl script
|
|
|
- that checks all links of a web page by using curl.
|
|
|
- - Rearranged the archive hierarchy a little. Build the executable in the
|
|
|
- src/ dir from now on!
|
|
|
- - Version 4.9 and hereafter, is no longer released under the GPL license.
|
|
|
- I have now updated the LEGAL file etc and now this is released using the
|
|
|
- Mozilla Public License to avoid the plague known as "the GPL virus". You
|
|
|
- must make the source available if you decide to change and/or redistribute
|
|
|
- curl, but if you decide to use curl within something else you do not need
|
|
|
- to offer the world the source to that too.
|
|
|
- - Curl did not like HTTP servers that sent no headers at all on a GET
|
|
|
- request. It is a violation of RFC2068 but appearantly some servers do
|
|
|
- that anyway. Thanks to Gordon Beaton for the report!
|
|
|
- - -L/--location was added after a suggestion from Martin Staael. This makes
|
|
|
- curl ATTEMPT to follow the Location: redirect if one is present in the HTTP
|
|
|
- headers. If -i or -I is used with this flag, you will see headers from all
|
|
|
- sites the Location: points to. Do note that the first server can point to a
|
|
|
- second that points to a third etc. It seems the Location: parameter (said
|
|
|
- to be an AbsoluteURI in RFC2068) isn't always absolute.. :-/ Anyway, I've
|
|
|
- made curl ATTEMPT to do the best it can to deal with the reality.
|
|
|
- - Added getlinks.pl to the archive. getlinks.pl selectively downloads
|
|
|
- files that a web page links to.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.8.4
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - As Julian Romero Nieto reported, curl reported wrong version number.
|
|
|
- - As Teemu Yli-Elsila pointed out, the win32 version of 4.8 (and probably all
|
|
|
- other versions for win32) didn't work with binary files since I'm too used
|
|
|
- to the Unix style fopen() where binary and text don't differ...
|
|
|
- - Ralph Beckmann brought me some changes that lets curl compile error and
|
|
|
- warning free with -Wall -pedantic with g++. I also took the opportunity to
|
|
|
- clean off some unused variables and similar.
|
|
|
- - Ralph Beckmann made me aware of a really odd bug now corrected. When curl
|
|
|
- read a set of headers from a HTTP server, divided into more than one read
|
|
|
- and the first read showed a full line *exactly* (i.e ending with a
|
|
|
- newline), curl did not behave well.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.8.3
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - I was too quick to release 4.8.2 with too little testing. One of the
|
|
|
- changes is now reverted slightly to the 4.8.1 way since 4.8.2 couldn't
|
|
|
- upload files. I still think both problems corrected in 4.8.2 remain
|
|
|
- corrected. Reported by Julian Romero Nieto.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.8.2
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Bernhard Iselborn reported two FTP protocol errors curl did. They're now
|
|
|
- corrected. Both appeared when getting files from a MS FTP server! :-)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.8.1
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Added a last update of the progress meter when the transfer is done. The
|
|
|
- final output on the screen didn't have to be the final size transfered
|
|
|
- which made it sometimes look odd.
|
|
|
- - Thanks to David Long I got rid of a silly bug that happened if a HTTP-page
|
|
|
- had nothing but header. Appearantly Solaris deals with negative sizes in
|
|
|
- fwrite() calls a lot better than Linux does... =B-]
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.8 (Aug 31, 1998)
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Continue FTP file transfer. -c is the switch. Note that you need to
|
|
|
- specify a file name if you wanna resume a download (you can't resume a
|
|
|
- download sent to stdout). Resuming upload may be limited by the server
|
|
|
- since curl is then using the non-RFC959 command SIZE to get the size of
|
|
|
- the target file before upload begins (to figure out which offset to
|
|
|
- use). Use -C to specify the offset yourself! -C is handy if you're doing
|
|
|
- the output to something else but a plain file or when you just want to get
|
|
|
- the end of a file.
|
|
|
- - recursiveftpget.pl now features a maximum recursive level argument.
|
|

-Version 4.7
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Added support to abort a download if the speed is below a certain amount
|
|
|
- (speed-limit) bytes per second for a certain (speed-time) time.
|
|
|
- - Wrote a perl script 'recursiveftpget.pl' to recursively use curl to get a
|
|
|
- whole ftp directory tree. It is meant as an example of how curl can be
|
|
|
- used. I agree it isn't the wisest thing to do to make a separate new
|
|
|
- connection for each file and directory for this.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.6
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Added a first attempt to optionally parse the .netrc file for login user
|
|
|
- and password. If used with http, it enables user authentication. -n is
|
|
|
- the new switch.
|
|
|
- - Removed the extra newlines on the default user-agent string.
|
|
|
- - Corrected the missing ftp upload error messages when it failed without the
|
|
|
- verbose flag set. Gary W. Swearingen found it.
|
|
|
- - Now using alarm() to enable second-precision timeout even on the name
|
|
|
- resolving/connecting phase. The timeout is although reset after that first
|
|
|
- sequence. (This should be corrected.) Gary W. Swearingen reported.
|
|
|
- - Now spells "Unknown" properly, as in "Unknown option 'z'"... :-)
|
|
|
- - Added bug report email address in the README.
|
|
|
- - Added a "current speed" field to the progress meter. It shows the average
|
|
|
- speed the last 5 seconds. The other speed field shows the average speed of
|
|
|
- the entire transfer so far.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.5.1
|
|
|
- Linas Vepstas
|
|
|
- - SSL through proxy fix
|
|
|
- - Added -A to allow User-Agent: changes
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Made the -A work when SSL-through-proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.5
|
|
|
- Linas Vepstas
|
|
|
- - More SSL corrections
|
|
|
- - I've added a port to AIX.
|
|
|
- - running SSL through a proxy causes a chunk of code to be executred twice.
|
|
|
- one of those blocks needs to be deleted.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Made -i and -I work again
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.4
|
|
|
- Linas Vepstas
|
|
|
- - -x can now also specify proxyport when used as in 'proxyhost:proxyport'
|
|
|
- - SSL fixes
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.3
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Adjusted to compile under win32 (VisualC++ 5). The -P switch does not
|
|
|
- support network interface names in win32. I couldn't figure out how!
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.2
|
|
|
- Linas Vepstas / Sampo Kellomaki
|
|
|
- - Added SSL / SSLeay support (https://)
|
|
|
- - Added the -T usage for HTTP POST.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Bugfixed the SSL implementation.
|
|
|
- - Made -P a lot better to use other IP addresses. It now accepts a following
|
|
|
- parameter that can be either
|
|
|
- interface - i.e "eth0" to specify which interface's IP address you
|
|
|
- want to use
|
|
|
- IP address - i.e "192.168.10.1" to specify exact IP number
|
|
|
- host name - i.e "my.host.domain" to specify machine
|
|
|
- "-" - (any single-letter string) to make it pick the machine's
|
|
|
- default
|
|
|
- - The Makefile is now ready to compile for solaris, sunos4 and linux right
|
|
|
- out of the box.
|
|
|
- - Better generated version string seen with 'curl -V'
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4.1
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - The IP number returned by the ftp server as a reply to PASV does no longer
|
|
|
- have to DNS resolve. In fact, no IP-number-only addresses have to anymore.
|
|
|
- - Binds better to available port when -P is used.
|
|
|
- - Now LISTs ./ instead of / when used as in ftp://ftp.funet.fi/. The reason
|
|
|
- for this is that exactly that site, ftp.funet.fi, does not allow LIST /
|
|
|
- while LIST ./ is fine. Any objections?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 4 (1998-03-20)
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - I took another huge step and changed both version number and project name!
|
|
|
- The reason for the new name is that there are just one too many programs
|
|
|
- named urlget already and this program already can a lot more than merely
|
|
|
- getting URLs, and the reason for the version number is that I did add the
|
|
|
- pretty big change in -P and since I changed name I wanted to start with
|
|
|
- something fresh!
|
|
|
- - The --style flags are working better now.
|
|
|
- - Listing directories with FTP often reported that the file transfer was
|
|
|
- incomplete. Wrong assumptions were too common for directories, why no
|
|
|
- size will be attempted to get compared on them from now on.
|
|
|
- - Implemented the -P flag that let's the ftp control issue a PORT command
|
|
|
- instead of the standard PASV.
|
|
|
- - -a for appending FTP uploads works.
|

-***************************************************************************
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.12 (14 March 1998)
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - End-of-header tracking still lacked support for \r\n or just \n at the
|
|
|
- end of the last header line.
|
|
|
- Sergio Barresi
|
|
|
- - Added PROXY authentication.
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Fixed some little bugs.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.11
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - The header parsing was still not correct since the 3.2 modification...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.10
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - 3.7 and 3.9 were simultaneously developed and merged into this version.
|
|
|
- - FTP upload did not work correctly since 3.2.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.9
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Added the "-e <url> / --referer <url>" option where we can specify
|
|
|
- the referer page. Obviously, this is necessary only to fool the
|
|
|
- server, but...
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.7
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Now checks the last error code sent from the ftp server after a file has
|
|
|
- been received or uploaded. Wasn't done previously.
|
|
|
- - When 'urlget <host>' is used without a 'protocol://' first in the host part,
|
|
|
- it now checks for host names starting with ftp or gopher and if it does,
|
|
|
- it uses that protocol by default instead of http.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.6
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Silly mistake made the POST bug. This has now also been tested to work with
|
|
|
- proxy.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.5
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Highly inspired by Rafael Sagula's changes to the 3.1 that added an almost
|
|
|
- functional POST, I applied his changes into this version and made them work.
|
|
|
- (It seems POST requires the Content-Type and Content-Length headers.) It is
|
|
|
- now usable with the -d switch.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.3 - 3.4
|
|
|
- Passed to avoid confusions
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.2
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Major rewrite of two crucial parts of this code: upload and download.
|
|
|
- They are both now using a select() switch, that allows much better
|
|
|
- progress meter and time control.
|
|
|
- - alarm() usage removed completely
|
|
|
- - FTP get can now list directory contents if the path ends with a slash '/'.
|
|
|
- Urlget on a ftp-path that doesn't end with a slash means urlget will
|
|
|
- attempt getting it as a file name.
|
|
|
- - FTP directory view supports -l for "list-only" which lists the file names
|
|
|
- only.
|
|
|
- - All operations support -m for max time usage in seconds allowed.
|
|
|
- - FTP upload now allows the size of the uploaded file to be provided, and
|
|
|
- thus it can better check it actually uploaded the whole file. It also
|
|
|
- makes the progress meter for uploads much better!
|
|
|
- - Made the parameter parsing fail in cases like 'urlget -r 900' which
|
|
|
- previously tried to connect to the host named '900'.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.1
|
|
|
- Kjell Ericson
|
|
|
- - Pointed out how to correct the 3 warnings in win32-compiles.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Removed all calls to exit().
|
|
|
- - Made the short help text get written to stdout instead of stderr.
|
|
|
- - Made this file instead of keeping these comments in the source.
|
|
|
- - Made two callback hooks, that enable external programs to use urlget()
|
|
|
- easier and to grab the output/offer the input easier.
|
|
|
- - It is evident that Win32-compiles are painful. I watched the output from
|
|
|
- the Borland C++ v5 and it was awful. Just ignore all those warnings.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 3.0
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Added FTP upload capabilities. The name urlget gets a bit silly now
|
|
|
- when we can put too... =)
|
|
|
- - Restructured the source quite a lot.
|
|
|
- Changed the urlget() interface. This way, we will survive changes much
|
|
|
- better. New features can come and old can be removed without us needing
|
|
|
- to change the interface. I've written a small explanation in urlget.h
|
|
|
- that explains it.
|
|
|
- - New flags include -t, -T, -O and -h. The -h text is generated by the new
|
|
|
- mkhelp script.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.9
|
|
|
- Remco van Hooff
|
|
|
- - Added a fix to make it compile smoothly on Amiga using the SAS/C
|
|
|
- compiler.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Believe it or not, but the STUPID Novell web server seems to require
|
|
|
- that the Host: keyword is used, so well I use it and I (re-introduce) the
|
|
|
- urlget User-Agent:. I still have to check that this Host: usage works with
|
|
|
- proxies... 'Host:' is required for HTTP/1.1 GET according to RFC2068.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.8
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - some little modifications
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.7
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Removed the -l option and introduced the -f option instead. Now I'll
|
|
|
- rewrite the former -l kludge in an external script that'll use urlget to
|
|
|
- fetch multipart files like that.
|
|
|
- - '-f' is introduced, it means Fail without output in case of HTTP server
|
|
|
- errors (return code >=400).
|
|
|
- - Added support for -r, ranges. Specify which part of a document you
|
|
|
- want, and only that part is returned. Only with HTTP/1.1-servers.
|
|
|
- - Split up the source in 3 parts. Now all pure URL functions are in
|
|
|
- urlget.c and stuff that deals with the stand-alone program is in main.c.
|
|
|
- - I took a few minutes and wrote an embryo of a README file to explain
|
|
|
- a few things.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.6
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Made the -l (loop) thing use the new CONF_FAILONERROR which makes
|
|
|
- urlget() return error code if non-successful. It also won't output anything
|
|
|
- then. Now finally removed the HTTP 1.0 and error 404 dependencies.
|
|
|
- - Added -I which uses the HEAD request to get the header only from a
|
|
|
- http-server.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.5
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Made the progress meter use HHH:MM:SS instead of only seconds.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.4
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Added progress meter. It appears when downloading > BUFFER SIZE and
|
|
|
- mute is not selected. I found out that when downloading large files from
|
|
|
- really really slow sites, it is desirable to know the status of the
|
|
|
- download. Do note that some downloads are done unawaring of the size, which
|
|
|
- makes the progress meter less thrilling ;) If the output is sent to a tty,
|
|
|
- the progress meter is shut off.
|
|
|
- - Increased buffer size used for reading.
|
|
|
- - Added length checks in the user+passwd parsing.
|
|
|
- - Made it grok user+passwd for HTTP fetches. The trick is to base64
|
|
|
- encode the user+passwd and send an extra header line. Read chapter 11.1 in
|
|
|
- RFC2068 for details. I added it to be used just like the ftp one. To get a
|
|
|
- http document from a place that requires user and password, use an URL
|
|
|
- like:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- http://user:passwd@www.site.to.leach/doc.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- I also added the -u flag, since WHEN USING A PROXY YOU CAN'T SPECIFY THE
|
|
|
- USER AND PASSWORD WITH HTTP LIKE THAT. The -u flag works for ftp too, but
|
|
|
- not if used with proxy. To do the same as the above one, you can invoke:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- urlget -u user:passwd http://www.site.to.leach/doc.html
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.3
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Added "-o" option (output file)
|
|
|
- - Added URG_HTTP_NOT_FOUND return code.
|
|
|
- (Daniel's note:)
|
|
|
- Perhaps we should detect all kinds of errors and instead of writing that
|
|
|
- custom string for the particular 404-error, use the error text we actually
|
|
|
- get from the server. See further details in RFC2068 (HTTP 1.1
|
|
|
- definition). The current way also relies on a HTTP/1.0 reply, which newer
|
|
|
- servers might not do.
|
|
|
- - Looping mode ("-l" option). It's easier to get various split files.
|
|
|
- (Daniel's note:)
|
|
|
- Use it like 'urlget -l 1 http://from.this.site/file%d.html', which will
|
|
|
- make urlget to attempt to fetch all files named file1.html, file2.html etc
|
|
|
- until no more files are found. This is only a modification of the
|
|
|
- STAND_ALONE part, nothing in the urlget() function was modfified for this.
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Changed the -h to be -i instead. -h should be preserved to help use.
|
|
|
- - Bjorn Reese indicated that Borland _might_ use '_WIN32' instead of the
|
|
|
- VC++ WIN32 define and therefore I added a little fix for that.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.2
|
|
|
- Johan Andersson
|
|
|
- - The urlget function didn't set the path to url when using proxy.
|
|
|
- - Fixed bug with IMC proxy. Now using (almost) complete GET command.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Made it compile on Solaris. Had to reorganize the includes a bit.
|
|
|
- (so Win32, Linux, SunOS 4 and Solaris 2 compile fine.)
|
|
|
- - Made Johan's keepalive keyword optional with the -k flag (since it
|
|
|
- makes a lot of urlgets take a lot longer time).
|
|
|
- - Made a '-h' switch in case you want the HTTP-header in the output.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.1
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg and Kjell Ericson
|
|
|
- - Win32-compilable
|
|
|
- - No more global variables
|
|
|
- - Mute option (no output at all to stderr)
|
|
|
- - Full range of return codes from urlget(), which is now written to be a
|
|
|
- function for easy-to-use in [other] programs.
|
|
|
- - Define STAND_ALONE to compile the stand alone urlget program
|
|
|
- - Now compiles with gcc options -ansi -Wall -pedantic ;)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 2.0
|
|
|
- - Introducing ftp GET support. The FTP URL type is recognized and used.
|
|
|
- - Renamed the project to 'urlget'.
|
|
|
- - Supports the user+passwd in the FTP URL (otherwise it tries anonymous
|
|
|
- login with a weird email address as password).
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.5
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - The skip_header() crap messed it up big-time. By simply removing that
|
|
|
- one we can all of a sudden download anything ;)
|
|
|
- - No longer requires a trailing slash on the URLs.
|
|
|
- - If the given URL isn't prefixed with 'http://', HTTP is assumed and
|
|
|
- given a try!
|
|
|
- - 'void main()' is history.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.4
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - The gopher source used the ppath variable instead of path which could
|
|
|
- lead to disaster.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.3
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Well, I added a lame text about the time it took to get the data. I also
|
|
|
- fought against Johan to prevent his -f option (to specify a file name
|
|
|
- that should be written instead of stdout)! =)
|
|
|
- - Made it write 'connection refused' for that particular connect()
|
|
|
- problem.
|
|
|
- - Renumbered the version. Let's not make silly 1.0.X versions, this is
|
|
|
- a plain 1.3 instead.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.2
|
|
|
- Johan Andersson
|
|
|
- - Discovered and fixed the problem with getting binary files. puts() is
|
|
|
- now replaced with fwrite(). (Daniel's note: this also fixed the buffer
|
|
|
- overwrite problem I found in the previous version.)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Let "-p" before "-x".
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Bugfixed the proxy usage. It should *NOT* use nor strip the port number
|
|
|
- from the URL but simply pass that information to the proxy. This also
|
|
|
- made the user/password fields possible to use in proxy [ftp-] URLs.
|
|
|
- (like in ftp://user:password@ftp.my.site:8021/README)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Johan Andersson
|
|
|
- - Implemented HTTP proxy support.
|
|
|
- - Receive byte counter added.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- Bjorn Reese
|
|
|
- - Implemented URLs (and skipped the old syntax).
|
|
|
- - Output is written to stdout, so to achieve the above example, do:
|
|
|
- httpget http://143.54.10.6/info_logo.gif > test.gif
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.1
|
|
|
- Daniel Stenberg
|
|
|
- - Adjusted it slightly to accept named hosts on the command line. We
|
|
|
- wouldn't wanna use IP numbers for the rest of our lifes, would we?
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Version 1.0
|
|
|
- Rafael Sagula
|
|
|
- - Wrote the initial httpget, which started all this!
|
