| Changelog |
| |
| Version 7.11.2 (26 April 2004) |
| |
| Daniel (25 April 2004) |
| - Erwin Authried pointed out that configure --disable-manual didn't do right |
| if you already had a src/hugehelp.c source file present (which most people |
| do I guess). It now uses the USE_MANUAL define properly. |
| |
| Daniel (23 April 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem found and fixed a memory leak when doing (failing) Windows |
| threaded name resolves. |
| |
| - I also added test case 163 just to make sure -F "var=<file" works fine and |
| can pass on characters such as newlines, carriage-return and tabs. |
| |
| - When we added test case 162 without adding the necessary requirement field |
| in the test meta data we could see that curl didn't complain if you used |
| --proxy-ntlm even if the underlying libcurl it uses has no NTLM support! I |
| now made it check this first, and it now exists with a "the installed |
| libcurl version doesn't support this" message if it happens again. |
| |
| Daniel (22 April 2004) |
| - David Byron found and fixed a small bug with the --fail and authentication |
| stuff added a few weeks ago. Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and |
| communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy |
| properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it |
| should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 added to |
| verify the functionality. |
| |
| - allow newlines in the contents when doing -F "var=[contents]" |
| Robert Marlow reported. |
| |
| - If a transfer is found out to be only partial, libcurl will now treat that |
| as a problem serious enough to skip the final QUIT command before closing |
| the control connection. To avoid the risk that it will "hang" waiting for |
| the QUIT response. Added test case 161 to verify this. |
| |
| Daniel (21 April 2004) |
| - Modified the heuristics for dealing with the test 160 scenario. When a |
| connection is re-used and nothing at all is received from it (because the |
| server closes the connection), we will now retry the request on a fresh new |
| connection. The previous ECONNRESET stuff from January 30 was removed again |
| as it didn't detect the situation good enough. |
| |
| Daniel (20 April 2004) |
| - Added test case 160 to verify that curl works correctly when it gets a |
| connection reset when trying to re-use a connection. It should then simply |
| create a new connection and resend the request. |
| |
| Daniel (19 April 2004) |
| - No more 512 byte limit for host name (inclusing name + password) in libcurl. |
| An added bonus is that we use less memory for the typical (shorter URL) |
| case. |
| |
| - Cleaned up the sources to better use the terms 'hostname' and 'path' |
| internally when referring to that data. The buffers used for keep that info |
| is called 'namebuffer' and 'pathbuffer'. Much easier to read and understand |
| than the previous mess. |
| |
| Daniel (15 April 2004) |
| - Modified runtests.pl again to remove all log files in the log/ dir between |
| each test, and then made -p display all non-zero byte files in the log dir. |
| It should make that data more usable and contain less rubbish. |
| |
| - ftpserver.pl now produces log files more similar to how the sws ones look |
| and they now also contains a bit more details to help debugging ftp |
| problems. |
| |
| - Removed the fixed maximum amount of dir levels the FTP code supported. |
| Previously we had a fixed array for 100 levels, now we save space in each |
| handle by allocating only for a few level by default and then enlarging that |
| in case of need (with no maximum depth). Adjusted test case 142 to verify |
| that 150 dir levels work fine. An added bonus is that we use less memory |
| for the typical (not very deep) case. |
| |
| Daniel (14 April 2004) |
| - Asking for CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 when ipv6 addresses can't be resolved will |
| now cause the resolve function to return NULL immediately. This flaw was |
| pointed out by Gisle Vanem. |
| |
| - Gisle Vanem made curl -4/-6 actually set the desired option to libcurl. |
| |
| - runtests.pl now has a new option (-p) that will display "interesting" log |
| files to stdout in case of a test failure. This is primarily intended to be |
| used in the 'full-test' make target that is used by the autobuild tests, as |
| we then get a much better chance to understand (remote) test failures based |
| on autobuild logs alone. |
| |
| Daniel (13 April 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem made the multi interface work again on Windows even when built |
| without ares. Before this, select() would return -1 during the name resolve |
| phase since curl_multi_fdset() didn't return any fd_set at all which wasn't |
| appreciated! |
| |
| - curl_easy_duphandle() now duplicates the tcp_nodelay info as well. |
| |
| Daniel (11 April 2004) |
| - Applied David Byron's patch for the MSVC libcurl makefile for builds with |
| zlib. |
| |
| Daniel (9 April 2004) |
| - Dirk Manske improved the timer resolution for CURLINFO_*_TIME, it can now |
| be down to usec if the system sypports it. |
| |
| Daniel (7 April 2004) |
| - A request that sends "Expect: 100-continue" and gets nothing but a single |
| 100 response back will now return a CURLE_GOT_NOTHING. Test 158 verifies. |
| |
| - The strtoofft() macro is now named curlx_strtoofft() to use the curlx_* |
| approach fully. |
| |
| Daniel (6 April 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem's fixed bug #927979 reported by Nathan O'Sullivan. The problem |
| made libcurl on Windows leak a small amount of memory in each name resolve |
| when not used as a DLL. |
| |
| - New authentication code added, particularly noticable when doing POST or PUT |
| with Digest or NTLM. libcurl will now use HEAD to negotiate the |
| authentication and when done perform the requested POST. Previously libcurl |
| sent POST immediately and expected the server to reply a final status code |
| with an error and then libcurl would not send the request-body but instead |
| send then next request in the sequence. |
| |
| The reason for this change is due to IIS6 barfing on libcurl when we attempt |
| to POST with NTLM authentication. The reason for the problems is found in |
| RFC2616 section 8.2.3 regarding how servers should deal with the 100 |
| continue request-header: |
| |
| If it responds with a final status code, it MAY close the transport |
| connection or it MAY continue to read and discard the rest of the |
| request. |
| |
| Previous versions of IIS clearly did close the connection in this case, |
| while this newer version decided it should "read and discard". That would've |
| forced us to send the whole POST (or PUT) data only to have it discarded and |
| then be forced to send it again. To avoid that huge penality, we switch to |
| using HEAD until we are authenticated and then send the POST. |
| |
| The only actual drawback I can think of (except for the odd sites that might |
| treat HEAD differently than they would treat POST/PUT when given the same |
| URL) is that if you do POST with CURLAUTH_ANY set and the site requires NO |
| authentication, libcurl will still use a HEAD in a first round and then do a |
| POST. |
| |
| If you do a HEAD or a GET on a site using CURLAUTH_ANY, libcurl will send |
| an un-authenticated request at once, which then is the only request if the |
| site requires no auth. |
| |
| Alan Pinstein helped me work out the protocol details by figuring out why |
| libcurl failed and what IIS6 expects. |
| |
| - The --limit-rate logic was corrected and now it works a lot better for |
| higher speeds, such as '10m' or similar. Reported in bug report #930249. |
| |
| - Introducing curlx_tvnow() and curlx_tvdiff() using the new curlx_* fashion. |
| #include "timeval.h" from the lib dir to get the protos etc. Note that |
| these are NOT part of the libcurl API. The curl app simply uses the same |
| source files as the library does and therefore the file needs to be compiled |
| and linked with curl too, not just when creating libcurl. |
| |
| - lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it |
| isn't portable enough |
| |
| Daniel (2 April 2004) |
| - In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file |
| name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay. |
| |
| - Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles. |
| |
| - Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that |
| broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a |
| mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter |
| that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time. |
| |
| Daniel (1 April 2004) |
| - Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name |
| resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the |
| brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0. |
| |
| When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of |
| the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old |
| c-ares library. |
| |
| Daniel (31 March 2004) |
| - Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur! |
| |
| - Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too |
| easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving. |
| |
| - Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe |
| Mitz Wark's problems are fixed. |
| |
| - Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a |
| flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is |
| provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always |
| used as user name). |
| |
| - Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage. |
| |
| Daniel (30 March 2004) |
| - Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the |
| particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel. I've now |
| written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID |
| implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still |
| experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug |
| (5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file." |
| |
| - I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems |
| to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the |
| response header). |
| |
| - Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name |
| lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get |
| completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this. |
| |
| - David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely |
| even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151 |
| and 152 were added to verify the functionality. |
| |
| Daniel (29 March 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem updated files for the djgpp/MS-DOS build. |
| |
| - Andrés García helped me work out a fix for the runtests.pl script to make |
| the file:// tests run fine when tested with the mingw-built version of curl. |
| |
| - Fixed an include issue with netinet/tcp.h on AIX, based on input by Tor. |
| This also required a minor fix of the configure script. |
| |
| - The postit2.c source example used the wrong struct name for the post data. |
| |
| Daniel (26 March 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem improved ipv6 support on windows by making the curl build to use |
| the correct getaddrinfo() function. |
| |
| Daniel (25 March 2004) |
| - It turned out that AIX, despite having a "thread-safe libc", doesn't offer |
| all traditional functions thread-safe. This URL is informative on this |
| subject: |
| |
| http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ \ |
| genprogc/thread_quick_ref.htm |
| |
| As a result of this, we now check for three *_r() functions on recent AIX |
| versions as well that the URL mentions aren't thread-safe in AIX 5.1. |
| |
| - renamed curl_strerror.[ch] to strerror.[ch] |
| |
| - Joe Halpin added CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and --tcp-nodelay to make it possible |
| for users to disable the Nagle algorthim-usage. |
| |
| - Tor Arntsen provided some interesting strerror_r() knowledge. glibc has its |
| own API which differs from the POSIX one. Daniel adjusted the configure |
| script to detect the version in use, and the code now uses the new defines |
| accordingly. |
| |
| - Fixed some build flaws with the new lib/curl_strerror.c source file. |
| |
| Daniel (24 March 2004) |
| - Gisle Vanem's fix to replace the bad use of strerror(). This introduces |
| Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too! |
| |
| - Tor Arntsen spell-fixed lots of libcurl man pages. |
| |
| - Tor Arntsen made testcurl.pl work with older perl 5 versions, and Daniel |
| made it not use chdir .. to go back, as that isn't very good when you've |
| setup a testdir containing symlinks. |
| |
| - Added a check for strerror_r() in the configure script. |
| |
| 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. |
