Curl and libcurl 7.18.1
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes

Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the --keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new option.

Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
2008-01-10 05:30:19 -05:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 150
Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused.

contributor re-count (we'll break the 600 limit very very soon now) and I made all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases + 26 and not a very interesting number anyway.

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:
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
2006-10-21 07:32:05 -04:00
- Niklas Angebrand made the cookie support in libcurl properly deal with the "HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars.
2008-01-31 07:21:57 -05:00
o added support for HttpOnly cookies
Günter Knauf added lib/mk-ca-bundle.pl which gets the Firefox ca bundle and creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.
2008-02-08 06:16:44 -05:00
o 'make ca-bundle' downloads and generates an updated ca bundle file
- We're no longer providing a very old ca-bundle in the curl tarball. You can get a fresh one downloaded and created with 'make ca-bundle' or you can get one from here => http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html if you want a fresh new one extracted from Mozilla's recent list of ca certs. The configure option --with-ca-bundle now lets you specify what file to use as default ca bundle for your build. If not specified, the configure script will check a few known standard places for a global ca cert to use.
2008-02-18 06:35:12 -05:00
o we no longer distribute or install a ca cert bundle
- We no longer support setting the CURLOPT_URL option from inside a callback such as the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION one treat that as if it was a Location: following. The patch that introduced this feature was done for 7.11.0, but this code and functionality has been broken since about 7.15.4 (March 2006) with the introduction of non-blocking OpenSSL "connects". It was a hack to begin with and since it doesn't work and hasn't worked correctly for a long time and nobody has even noticed, I consider it a very suitable subject for plain removal. And so it was done.
2008-02-20 03:28:02 -05:00
o SSLv2 is now disabled by default for SSL operations
o the test509-style setting URL in callback is officially no longer supported
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.

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
- Dmitry Kurochkin fixed Curl_done() for pipelining, as it could previously crash!
2008-01-29 07:58:25 -05:00
o improved pipelining
Fix problem in strdup replacement when dealing with absolutely huge strings.
2008-02-06 14:01:13 -05:00
o improved strdup replacement
- Mike Hommey filed and fixed bug report #1889856 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1889856): When using the gnutls ssl layer, cleaning-up and reinitializing curl ends up with https requests failing with "ASN1 parser: Element was not found" errors. Obviously a regression added in 7.16.3.
2008-02-08 17:02:00 -05:00
o GnuTLS-built libcurl failed when doing global cleanup and reinit
Bug report #1888932 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1888932) points out and provides test program that demonstrates that libcurl might not set error description message for error CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST for Windows threaded name resolver builds. Fixed now.
2008-02-09 23:20:09 -05:00
o error message problem when unable to resolve a host on Windows
- Pooyan McSporran found and fixed a flaw where you first would do a normal http request and then you'd reuse the handle and replace the Accept: header, as then libcurl would send two Accept: headers!
2008-02-15 03:56:06 -05:00
o Accept: header replacing
- Jerome Muffat-Meridol helped me fix Curl_done() to close the current connection by force when it was called before the entire request is completed, simply because we can't know if the connection really can be re-used safely at that point.
2008-02-17 08:49:58 -05:00
o not verificating server certs with GnuTLS still failed if gnutls had
problems with the cert
o when using the multi interface and a handle is removed while still having
a transfer going on, the connection is now closed by force

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 06:17:52 -04:00
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
- Refactored a lot of timeout code into a few functions in an attempt to make them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.
