| History of Changes |
| |
| |
| Version 7.9.5 |
| |
| Daniel (7 March 2002) |
| - Added docs/KNOWN_BUGS to the release archive. |
| |
| Daniel (6 March 2002) |
| - Kevin Roth corrected a flaw in the curl client globbing code that made it |
| mess up backslashes. This was most notable on windows (cygwin) machines when |
| using file://. |
| |
| - Brad provided another fix for building outside the source-tree. |
| |
| - Ralph Mitchell patched away a few compiler warnings in tests/server/sws.c |
| |
| Daniel (5 March 2002) |
| - I noticed that the typedef in curl.h for the progress callback prototype was |
| wrong and thus applications that used it would not get the proper input |
| data. It used size_t where the implementation actually uses doubles! |
| |
| I wish I could blame someone else, but this was my fault. Again. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre6 |
| |
| Daniel (4 March 2002) |
| - Cut off the changes done during 2001 from this changelog file and put them |
| in a separate file (CHANGES.2001), available from CVS of course. |
| |
| - I removed the multi directory. The example sources were moved to the |
| docs/examples directory where they belong. |
| |
| - Wrote 7 new man pages for the current functions in the new multi interface. |
| They're all still pretty basic, but we can use them as a start and add more |
| contents to them when we figure out what to write. The large amount of man |
| pages for libcurl now present made me decide to put them in a new separate |
| subdirectory in the docs directory. Named libcurl. |
| |
| - Giuseppe Corbelli provided a template file for the EPM package manager, it |
| gets generated nicely by the configure script now. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre5 |
| |
| Daniel (1 March 2002) |
| - Moved the memanalyze.pl script into the tests/ dir and added it to the |
| release archives. It was previously only present in the CVS tree. |
| |
| - Modified the February 17th Host: fix, as bug report #523718 pointed out that |
| it caused crashes! |
| |
| - Nico Baggus added more error codes to the VMS stuff. |
| |
| - Wesley Laxton brought the code that introduced the new CURLOPT_PREQUOTE |
| option. It is just another FTP quote option that allows the user to specify |
| a list of FTP commands to issue *just before* the transfer command (RETR or |
| STOR etc). It has turned up a few systems that really need this. |
| |
| The curl command line tool can also take advantage of this by prefixing the |
| quote commands with a plus (+) in similar style that post transfer quote |
| commands are specified. |
| |
| This is not yet documented. There is no test case for this yet. |
| |
| Daniel (28 February 2002) |
| - Ralph Mitchell made some serious efforts and put a lot of sweat in setting |
| up scripts and things for me to be able to repeat his problems, and I |
| finally could. I found a problem with the header byte counter that wasn't |
| increased properly and thus we could return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING when we in |
| fact had received data. |
| |
| Daniel (27 February 2002) |
| - I had to revert the non-space parsing cookie fix I posted to the mailing |
| list. Expire dates do have spaces and still need to get parsed properly! |
| Instead we just ignore trailing white space and it seems to work... |
| |
| Daniel (26 February 2002) |
| - Made the cookie property 'Max-Age' work, just since we already tried to |
| support it, it is better to do it right. No one uses this anyway. |
| |
| - The cookie parser could crash if a really weird (illegal) cookie line was |
| received. I also made it better discard really oddly formatted lines better. |
| |
| Made the cookie jar store the second field from the left using the syntax |
| that Netscape and Mozilla probably like. Curl itself ignores it. |
| |
| Added test case 31 for these cases. |
| |
| Clay Loveless' email regarding some cookie issues started my cleanup. |
| |
| - Kevin Roth pointed out that my automake fiddles broke the ability to build |
| outside the source-tree and I posted a patch to the mailing list that brings |
| this ability back. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre4 |
| |
| Daniel (25 February 2002) |
| - Fiddled with the automake files to make all source files in the lib |
| directory not have ../src in the include path, and the src sources shouldn't |
| have ../lib! |
| |
| - All 79 test cases ran OK under Linux and Solaris using the new HTTP server |
| in the test suite. The new HTTP server was first donated by Georg Horn and |
| subsequently modified to work with the test suite. It is currently still not |
| portable enough to run on "all over" but this is a start and I can run all |
| curl tests on my machines. This is an important requirement for the upcoming |
| public release. |
| |
| - Using -d and -I on the same command line now reports an error, as it implies |
| two different HTTP requests that can't be mixed. |
| |
| - Jeffrey Pohlmeyer provided a patch that made the -w/--write-out option |
| support %{content_type} to get the content type of the recent download. |
| |
| - Kevin Roth reported that pre2 and pre3 didn't compile properly on cygwin, |
| and this was because I used #ifdef HAVE_WINSOCK_H in lib/multi.h to figure |
| out if we could include winsock.h which turns out not to be a wise choice to |
| do on cygwin since it has the file but can't include it! |
| |
| Daniel (22 February 2002) |
| - Added src/config-vms.h to the release archive. |
| |
| - Fixed the connection timeout value again, the change from February 18 wasn't |
| complete. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre3 |
| |
| Daniel (21 February 2002) |
| - Kevin Roth and Andrés García both found out that lib/config.h.in was missing |
| in the pre-release archive and thus the configure script failed. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre2 |
| |
| Daniel (20 February 2002) |
| - Andrés García provided a solution to bug report #515228. the total time |
| counter was not set correctly when -I was used during some conditions (all |
| headers were read in one single read). |
| |
| - Nico Baggus provided a huge patch with minor tweaks all over to make curl |
| compile nicely on VMS. |
| |
| Daniel (19 February 2002) |
| - Rick Richardson found out that by replacing PF_UNSPEC with PF_INET in the |
| getaddrinfo() calls, he could speed up some name resolving calls with an |
| order of magnitudes on his Redhat Linux 7.2. |
| |
| - Philip Gladstone found a second INADDR_NONE problem where we used long |
| intead of in_addr_t which caused 64bit problemos. We really shouldn't define |
| that on two different places. |
| |
| Daniel (18 February 2002) |
| - Philip Gladstone found a problem in how HTTP requests were sent if the |
| request couldn't be sent all at once. |
| |
| - Emil found and corrected a bad connection timeout comparison that made curl |
| use the longest of connect-timeout and timout as a timeout value, instead of |
| the shortest as it was supposed to! |
| |
| - Aron Roberts provided updated information about LDAP URL syntax to go into |
| the manual as a replacement for the old references. |
| |
| Daniel (17 February 2002) |
| - Philip Gladstone pointed out two missing include files that made curl core |
| dump on 64bit architectures. We need to pay more attention on these details. |
| It is *lethal* to for example forget the malloc() prototype, as 'int' is |
| 32bit and malloc() must return a 64bit pointer on these platforms. |
| |
| - Giaslas Georgios fixed a problem with Host: headers on repeated requests on |
| the same handle using a proxy. |
| |
| Daniel (8 February 2002) |
| - Hanno L. Kranzhoff accurately found out that disabling the Expect: header |
| when doing multipart formposts didn't work very well. It disabled other |
| parts of the request header too, resulting in a broken header. When I fixed |
| this, I also noticed that the Content-Type wasn't possible to disable. It is |
| now, even though it probably is really stupid to try to do this (because of |
| the boundary string that is included in the internally generated header, |
| used as form part separator.) |
| |
| Daniel (7 February 2002) |
| - I moved the config*.h files from the root directory to the lib/ directory. |
| |
| - I've added the new test suite HTTP server to the CVS repository, It seems to |
| work pretty good now, but we must make it get used by the test scripts |
| properly and then we need to make sure that it compiles, builds and runs on |
| most operating systems. |
| |
| Version 7.9.5-pre1 |
| |
| Daniel (6 February 2002) |
| - Miklos Nemeth provided updated windows makefiles and INSTALL docs. |
| |
| - Mr Larry Fahnoe found a problem with formposts and I managed to track down |
| and patch this bug. This was actually two bugs, as the posted size was also |
| said to be two bytes too large. |
| |
| - Brent Beardsley found out and brought a correction for the |
| CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE parser that was off one byte. This was my fault, I |
| accidentaly broke Giaslas Georgios' patch. |
| |
| Daniel (5 February 2002) |
| - Kevin Roth found yet another SSL download problem. |
| |
| Version 7.9.4 |
| |
| - no changes since pre-release |
| |
| Version 7.9.4-pre2 |
| |
| Daniel (3 February 2002) |
| - Eric Melville provided a few spelling corrections in the curl man page. |
| |
| Daniel (1 February 2002) |
| - Andreas Damm corrected the unconditional use of gmtime() in getdate, it now |
| uses gmtime_r() on all hosts that have it. |
| |
| Daniel (31 January 2002) |
| - An anonymous bug report identified a problem in the DNS caching which made it |
| sometimes allocate one byte too little to store the cache entry in. This |
| happened when the port number started with 1! |
| |
| - Albert Chin provided a patch that improves the gethostbyname_r() configure |
| check on HP-UX 11.00. |
| |
| Version 7.9.4-pre1 |
| |
| Daniel (30 January 2002) |
| - Georg Horn found another way the SSL reading failed due to the non-blocking |
| state of the sockets! I fixed. |
| |
| Daniel (29 January 2002) |
| - Multipart formposts now send the full request properly, including the CRLF. |
| They were previously treated as part of the post data. |
| |
| - The upload byte counter bugged. |
| |
| - T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time- |
| consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched |
| libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded |
| status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time. |
| |
| If the random_file or egdsocket is set, the seed will be re-made though. |
| |
| - Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets |
| curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request. |
| |
| Daniel (28 January 2002) |
| - Kjetil Jacobsen found a way to crash curl and after much debugging, it |
| turned out it was a IPv4-linux only problem introduced in 7.9.3 related to |
| name resolving. |
| |
| - Andreas Damm posted a huge patch that made the curl_getdate() function fully |
| reentrant! |
| |
| - Steve Marx pointed out that you couldn't mix CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST with |
| CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. You can now! |
| |
| Daniel (25 January 2002) |
| - Krishnendu Majumdar pointed out that the header length counter was not reset |
| between multiple requests on the same handle. |
| |
| - Pedro Neves rightfully questioned why curl always append \r\n to the data |
| that is sent in HTTP POST requests. Unfortunately, this broke the test suite |
| as the test HTTP server is lame enough not to deal with this... :-O |
| |
| - Following Location: headers when the connection didn't close didn't work as |
| libcurl didn't properly stop reading. This problem was added in 7.9.3 due to |
| the restructured internals. 'Frank' posted a bug report about this. |
| |
| Daniel (24 January 2002) |
| - Kevin Roth very quickly spotted that we wrongly installed the example |
| programs that were built in the multi directory, when 'make install' was |
| used. :-/ |
| |
| Version 7.9.3 |
| |
| Daniel (23 January 2002) |
| - Andrés García found a persistancy problem when doing HTTP HEAD, that made |
| curl "hang" until the connection was closed by the server. This problem has |
| been introduced in 7.9.3 due to internal rewrites, this was not present in |
| 7.9.2. |
| |
| Version 7.9.3-pre4 |
| |
| Daniel (19 January 2002) |
| - Antonio filed bug report #505514 and provided a fix! When doing multipart |
| formposts, libcurl would include an error text in the actual post if a |
| specified file wasn't found. This is not libcurl's job. Instead we add an |
| empty part. |
| |
| Daniel (18 January 2002) |
| - Played around with stricter compiler warnings for gcc (when ./configure |
| --enable-debug is used) and changed some minor things to stop the warnings. |
| |
| - Commented out the 'long long' and 'long double' checks in configure.in, as |
| we don't currently use them anyway and the code in lib/mprintf.c that use |
| them causes warnings. |
| |
| - Saul Good and jonatan pointed out Mac OS X build problems with pre3 and how |
| to correct them. Two compiler warnings were removed as well. |
| |
| - Andrés García fixed two minor mingw32 building problems. |
| |
| Version 7.9.3-pre3 |
| |
| Daniel (17 January 2002) |
| - docs/libcurl-the-guide is a new tutorial for our libcurl programming |
| friends. |
| |
| - Richard Archer brought back the ability to compile and build with OpenSSL |
| versions before 0.9.5. |
| [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100976&aid=504163&group_id=976] |
| |
| - The DNS cache code didn't take the port number into account, which made it |
| work rather bad on IPv6-enabled hosts (especially when doing passive |
| FTP). Sterling fixed it. |
| |
| Daniel (16 January 2002) |
| - Georg Horn could make a transfer time-out without error text. I found it and |
| corrected it. |
| |
| - SSL writes didn't work, they return an uninitialized value that caused |
| havoc all over. Georg Horn experienced this. |
| |
| - Kevin Roth patched the curl_version() function to use the proper OpenSSL |
| function for version information. This way, curl will report the version of |
| the SSL library actually running right now, not the one that had its headers |
| installed when libcurl was built. Mainly intersting when running with shared |
| OpenSSL libraries. |
| |
| Version 7.9.3-pre2 |
| |
| Daniel (16 January 2002) |
| - Mofied the main transfer loop and related stuff to deal with non-blocking |
| sockets in the upload section. While doing this, I've now separated the |
| connection oriented buffers to have one for downloads and one for uploads |
| (as two can happen simultaneously). I also shrunk the buffers to 20K |
| each. As we have a scratch buffer twice the size of the upload buffer, we |
| arrived at 80K for buffers compared with the previous 150K. |
| |
| - Added the --cc option to curl-config command as it enables so very cool |
| one-liners. Have a go a this one, building the simple.c example: |
| |
| $ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example simple.c |
| |
| Daniel (14 January 2002) |
| - I made all socket reads (recv) handle EWOULDBLOCK. I hope nicely. Now we |
| only need to address all writes (send) too and then I'm ready for another |
| pre-release... |
| |
| - Stoned Elipot patched the in_addr_t configure test to make it work better on |
| more platforms. |
| |
| Daniel (9 January 2002) |
| - Cris Bailiff found out that filling up curl's SSL session cache caused a |
| crash! |
| |
| - Posted the curl questionnaire on the web site. If you haven't posted your |
| opinions there yet, go there and do it now while it is still there: |
| |
| http://curl.haxx.se/q/ |
| |
| - Georg Horn quickly found out that the SSL reading no longer worked as |
| supposed since the switch to non-blocking sockets. I've made a quick patch |
| (for reading only) but we should improve it even further. |
| |
| Version 7.9.3-pre1 |
| |
| Daniel (7 January 2002) |
| - I made the 'bool' typedef use an "unsigned char". It makes it the same on |
| all platforms, no matter what the platform thinks the default format for |
| char is. This was noticed since we made a silly comparison involving such a |
| bool variable, and only one compiler/platform combination (on Debian Linux) |
| complained about it (that happened to have its char unsigned by default). |
| |
| - Bug report #495290 identified a cookie parsing problem that was corrected. |
| When a Set-Cookie: line is received without a trailing semicolon, libcurl |
| didn't read the last "name=value" pair of the line, leading to confusions... |
| |
| - Sterling committed his updated DNS cache code. |
| |
| - I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switched |
| curl's socket operations completely over to non-blocking for the entire |
| operation (previously we used non-blocking only for the connection phase). |
| We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout properly without |
| the use of signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added. |
| |
| - T. Bharath pointed out a slightly obscure cookie engine flaw. |
| |
| - Pete Su pointed out that libcurl didn't treat HTTP code 204 as it should. |
| 204-replies never provides a response-body. This resulted in bad persistant |
| behavior when 204 was received. |
| |
| Daniel (5 January 2002) |
| - SM updated the VC++ library Makefiles for the new source files. |
| |
| Daniel (4 January 2002) |
| - I discovered that we wrongly used inet_ntoa() (instead of inet_ntoa_r() in |
| two places in the source code). One happened with VERBOSE set on connects, |
| and the other when VERBOSE was on and krb4 over nat was used... I honestly |
| don't think anyone has suffered from these mistakes. |
| |
| - I replaced a lot of silly occurances of printf() to instead use the more |
| appropriate Curl_infof() or Curl_failf(). The krb4 and telnet code were |
| affected. |
| |
| - Philip Gladstone found a few more problems with 64-bit archs (the 64-bit |
| sparc on solaris 8). |
| |
| - After discussions on the libcurl list with Raoul Cridlig, I just made FTP |
| response lines get passed to the header callback if such a one is |
| registered. It'll make it possible for any application to get all the |
| responses an FTP server sends to libcurl. |
| |
| Daniel (3 January 2002) |
| - Sterling Hughes brought a few buckets of code. Now, libcurl will |
| automatically cache DNS lookups and re-use the previous results first if any |
| such is available. It greatly improves speed when doing many repeated |
| operations to the same host. |
| |
| - As the test case uses --include and then --head, I had to modify src/main.c |
| to deal with this situation slightly better than previously. When done, we |
| have 100% good tests again in the main branch. |
| |
| Daniel (2 January 2002) |
| - Made test case 25 run again in the multi-dev branch. But it seems that the |
| changes done on dec-20 made test case 104 cease to work (in both branches). |
| |
| - Philip Gladstone pointed out a few portability problems in the source code |
| that didn't compile on 64-bit sparcs using Sun's native |
