Curl and libcurl 7.19.3
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 17:38:52 -04:00
and we are now on the 7.19.3 road
2008-11-13 08:24:00 -05:00
Public curl releases: 109
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
2008-09-05 12:13:20 -04:00
Command line options: 128
- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that then make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
2008-10-16 16:21:22 -04:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 158
- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used.
2008-05-12 17:43:24 -04:00
Public functions in libcurl: 58
oops, counted one of them twice!
2008-10-07 14:14:11 -04:00
Known libcurl bindings: 37
and we are now on the 7.19.3 road

David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
2003-10-29 04:53:21 -05:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer.
2006-08-08 18:56:46 -04:00
This release includes the following changes:
mention the curl_off_t changes first
2008-09-01 10:27:24 -04:00
- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such broken clients. The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and text to the right of it). libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server and proxy.
2008-12-10 18:13:31 -05:00
o CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit added for CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH and CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer.
2006-08-08 18:56:46 -04:00
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support enabled and FTP disabled.
2008-11-16 07:42:53 -05:00
o build failure when disabling FTP but enabling GSS
my recent changes
2008-11-15 18:47:01 -05:00
o fixed several calls to memory functions that didn't check return codes
o memory leak for SSL connects with libcurl/NSS when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT was
used
- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in mysterious ways. The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists() function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its chances of being used for pipelnining.
2008-11-19 05:15:19 -05:00
o re-use of connections with the multi interface when multiple handles used
the same server
- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386)
2008-11-19 09:22:01 -05:00
o memory leak with HTTP GSS/kerberos authentication
- I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use unless explicitly asked for.
2008-11-19 17:00:14 -05:00
o removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache"
libssh2 0.19 became 1.0 instead
2008-12-27 18:25:31 -05:00
o fix SCP/SFTP busyloop by using a new libssh2 1.0 function
- Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2382219)
2008-12-03 10:08:09 -05:00
o bad fclose() after a fatal error in cookie code
- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
2008-12-03 10:20:27 -05:00
o curl_multi_remove_handle() when the handle was in use in a HTTP pipeline
- Christian Krause filed bug #2221237 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!
2008-12-08 08:52:20 -05:00
o GSS authentication infinite loop problem
- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says: The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the current MODE and TYPE. In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
2008-12-08 15:20:51 -05:00
o 550 response from SIZE no longer treated as missing file
- Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.
2008-12-09 10:02:37 -05:00
o ftps:// control connections now use explicit protection level
- Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6 addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long.
2008-12-11 17:22:46 -05:00
o dotted IPv6 addresses longer than 39 bytes failed
- Bug report #2416182 titled "crash in ConnectionExists when using duphandle+curl_mutli" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) showed that curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.
2008-12-11 18:52:56 -05:00
o curl_easy_duphandle() doesn't try to duplicate the connection cache pointer
Patrick Monnerat fixed a build regression, introduced in 7.19.2, affecting OS/400 compilations with IPv6 enabled.
2008-12-11 22:24:59 -05:00
o build failure on OS/400 when enabling IPv6
- libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers.
2008-12-15 18:04:51 -05:00
o better detection of SFTP failures
- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both "regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no speed loss.
2008-12-19 16:14:52 -05:00
o improved connection re-use for subsequent SCP and SFTP transfers
o multi interface does less busy-loops for SCP and SFTP transfers with libssh2
libssh2 0.19 became 1.0 instead
2008-12-27 18:25:31 -05:00
1.0 or later
- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops. curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually alreay triggered.
2008-12-19 17:58:22 -05:00
o curl_multi_timeout() no longer returns timeout 0 when there's nothing to do
yet
- Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
2008-12-20 17:03:22 -05:00
o the multi_socket API and HTTP pipelining now work a lot better when combined
- Given a recent enough libssh2, libcurl can now seek/resume with SFTP even on file indexes beyond 2 or 4GB.
2008-12-22 08:12:36 -05:00
o SFTP seek/resume beyond 32bit file sizes
- Peter Korsgaard fixed building libcurl with "configure --with-ssl --disable-verbose".
2008-12-28 17:00:36 -05:00
o fixed breakage with --with-ssl --disable-verbose
- Phil Lisiecki filed bug report #2413067 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2413067) that identified a problem that would cause libcurl to mark a DNS cache entry "in use" eternally if the subsequence TCP connect failed. It would thus never get pruned and refreshed as it should've been.
2008-12-29 17:25:50 -05:00
o TTL "leak" in the DNS cache
- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update: I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS library if Curl did the initialization. It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right. But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is generally helpful.
2009-01-07 09:10:35 -05:00
o improved NSS initing
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00
This release includes the following known bugs:
o see docs/KNOWN_BUGS (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/knownbugs.html)
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:

Occasionally a handle would stall in mysterious ways.
