| Changelog |
| |
| Daniel (23 March 2004) |
| - Added Greg Hewgill's testcurl.pl script to CVS. We have not moved over to |
| use this script for the real distributed testing just yet, but it is only |
| a matter of time. |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem provided code that makes curl report a better error message |
| if --interface fails on windows. |
| |
| - The regular progress meter is now fixed to never wrap due to long lines. All |
| fields are now static sized. If the time in the time fields get a time value |
| that would represent a time that is 100 hours or more (if not, it remains |
| using a HH:MM:SS display), it switches first to a "NNNd NNh" display (for |
| days and hours) and if that isn't enough it switches to a "NNNd" display if |
| it is more than 999 days. |
| |
| Several of the calculations were also moved to fixed-point math instead of |
| using doubles. |
| |
| Daniel (22 March 2004) |
| - Glen Nakamura noticed CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD didn't work as it |
| used to do if CURLOPT_NOBODY is set TRUE. |
| |
| - Kevin Roth patched the cygwin package makefile and README to adjust to |
| new cygwin packaging guidelines. |
| |
| - Enabled "NT responses" in the NTLM authentication. Doing this simply means |
| that we provide an extra chunk of data in each "type-3 message". The only |
| reason for doing this is that it seems that using only the "Lanmanager hash" |
| (as we've been doing until now) doesn't support passwords longer than 14 |
| characters and it turns out there are users out there who want to use |
| libcurl and NTLM with such passwords! ;-) Seven NTLM-related test cases were |
| updated accordingly. Mentioned as issue 29 in TODO-RELEASE, bug report |
| #915609 |
| |
| - Moved the generated libcurl version info to a new header file, named |
| curl/curlver.h. Now interested parties can include ONLY version info, should |
| anyone want that (and it seems at least some windows resource files would). |
| Mentioned as issue 27 in TODO-RELEASE. |
| |
| Daniel (21 March 2004) |
| - Fixed the root Makefile to use tabs for the netware target. Günter Knauf |
| pointed this out. |
| |
| - Marty Kuhrt's VMS cleanup |
| |
| - Thomas Schwinge made buildconf recognize ACLOCAL_FLAGS to invoke aclocal |
| with particular pre-determined options. |
| |
| Version 7.11.1 (19 March 2004) |
| |
| Daniel (18 March 2004) |
| - Tor Arntsen brought some info about SGI IRIX: |
| |
| IRIX supports 3 different executable/object formats, -32, -n32 and -64. |
| -n32 is default 32-bit format, -32 is the "old" 32-bit format, and -64 is |
| the 64-bit format. Libraries for the different formats are in lib, lib32 |
| and lib64 respectively. |
| |
| We've now adjusted the configure script to adapt to this when scanning for |
| 3rd party libs, such as OpenSSL. |
| |
| Daniel (17 March 2004) |
| - Watz pointed out a few missing files in the MSVC project description file. |
| |
| - Günter Knauf brought patches, code and makefiles to build curl on Novell |
| NetWare. |
| |
| 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: |
| |
| http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-02/0215.html |
| |
| 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 (http://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... |
| |
| - Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was |
| set. |
| |
| - Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using |
| a persistent connection. |
| |
| - Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle |
| Vanem reported. |
| |
| Daniel (22 January 2004) |
| - 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. |
| |
| Version 7.11.0 (22 January 2004) |
| |
| 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 (15 January 2004) |
| - Peter Sylvester pointed out some necessary escaping needed in the |
| acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used. |
| |
| Daniel (14 January 2004) |
| - Vincent Bronner fixed the Curl_resolv() return code. This extends the fix |
| Steve Green provided on december 3... |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004) |
| |
| Daniel (11 January 2004) |
| - Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to |
| IANA. |
| |
| Daniel (8 January 2004) |
| - Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options |
| in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930. |
| |
| Daniel (5 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. |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem updated the djgpp build files. |
| |
| Daniel (18 December) |
| - 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: |
| http://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 |
| comment in the ca-bundle.h file. |
| |
| Version 7.10.8 (1 November 2003) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Daniel (26 September) |
| - 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. |
| |
| Version 7.10.8-pre1 (8 September 2003) |
| |
| 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). |
| |
| Version 7.10.7-pre3 (8 August 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (8 August) |
| - 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 |
| curl_easy_setopt.3 man page too. |
| |
| 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 |
| debian bug tracker). Added test case 74 to verify the fix and to discover if |
| this breaks in the future. |
| |
| - "make distcheck" works again. |
| |
| Version 7.10.7-pre2 (6 August 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (5 August) |
| - Duncan Wilcox helped me verify that the latest incarnation of my ares patch |
| builds fine on Mac OS X (see the new lib/README.ares) file for all details. |
| |
| - 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. |
| |
| Daniel (3 August) |
| - 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) |
| - Gisle Vanem brought changes to the mkhelp script for the generation of the |
| compressed help text on some platforms. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Version 7.10.6-pre4 (21 July 2003) |
| |
| 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: http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html |
| Version stored and provided at curl site: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html |
| |
| - Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or |
| SSL. |
| |
| Version 7.10.6-pre3 (19 June 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (19 June) |
| - Made curl use curl_free() on memory returned by curl_getenv(), as this |
| should theoreticly make it possibly to build and run curl and libcurl with |
| different memory allocation schemes with no problems. |
| |
| Daniel (18 June) |
| - Improved the mkhelp.pl a bit further to make a nicer hugehelp text and to |
| include a better comment in the top for the gzip compressed version. |
| |
| Daniel (17 June) |
| - CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is now a bitmask, in which you set which authentication |
| type(s) you want to use. If more than one is set, libcurl will use one of |
| the selected one and the one it considers is more secure. Test case 67 and |
| 68 (for NTLM) were fixed and we've reduced a round-trip for specific --ntlm |
| 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. |
| |
| Version 7.10.6-pre1 (23 May 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (23 May) |
| - Jis in bug report #741841, fixed a bug in the SOCKS5 proxy-using code. |
| |
| 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 |
| the command line options (and CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST to the library)... RFC2617 |
| has all the gory details. |
| |
| Daniel (21 May) |
| - David Balazic pointed out that curl_unescape() didn't check that %-codes |
| were correctly followed by two hexadecimal digits when it unescape strings. |
| Now, we do the check and only %XX codes are unescaped if the X letters are |
| hexadecimals. |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem made curl build with djgpp on DOS. |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem improved the mkhelp.pl script to make a nicer manual that is |
| shown with curl -M. |
| |
| Daniel (20 May) |
| - Gisle Vanem provided a fix that makes libcurl more conservative, not |
| expecting h_aliases of the hostent struct to always be non-NULL. |
| |
| Daniel (19 May) |
| - As requested by Martin Michlmayr in Debian bug report #193630, libcurl now |
| supports user name and password in the proxy environment variables. Added |
| test case 63 to verify this. |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Daniel (7 Mar) |
| - Run libtoolize version 1.4.3. |
| |
| Version 7.10.4-pre3 (4 Mar 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (3 Mar) |
| - Added share.obj to the VC6 and Borland libcurl makefiles. |
| |
| - 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 (2 Mar) |
| - Juan F. Codagnone found a problem introduced in 7.10.3 when you first did a |
| POST and then back to a GET using the same easy handle. |
| |
| Daniel (28 Feb) |
| - Removed the strequal and strnequal defines from curl/curl.h header. They |
| were never meant for the public header anyway. Philippe Raoult brought it |
| up. |
| |
| - James Bursa fixed the RISC OS build. |
| |
| Daniel (27 Feb) |
| - Avery Fay pointed out the very misleading curl_multi_info_read man page, and |
| I updated it to become more accurate. |
| |
| - 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 |
| the APIs, especially not the multi API. |
| |
| Version 7.10.4-pre2 (24 Feb 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (24 Feb) |
| - Kjetil Jacobsen found out that setting CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to a value higher |
| than 5 could cause a segfault. |
| |
| - 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 |
| used, libcurl should wait for a HTTP 100 (or timeout) before sending the |
| post/put data. |
| |
| Daniel (14 Feb) |
| - 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. |
| |
| Version 7.10.4-pre1 (3 Feb 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (3 Feb) |
| - Removed things in the docs saying capath doesn't work on Windows, as Julian |
| 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! |
| |
| Version 7.10.3 (14 Jan 2003) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| Version 7.10.3-pre5 (9 Jan 2003) |
| |
| 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... |
| |
| Version 7.10.3-pre4 (9 Jan 2003) |
| |
| Daniel (9 Jan 2003) |
| - Updated lib/share.c quite a bit to match the design document at |
| http://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. |
