Version 5.3a (win32 only)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Troy Engel
|
|||
|
- Corrected a win32 bug in the environment variable part.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.3
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gilbert Ramirez Jr. (21 Dec 1998)
|
|||
|
- I have implemented the "quote" function of FTP clients. It allows you to
|
|||
|
send arbitrary commands to the remote FTP server. I chose the -Q/--quote
|
|||
|
command-line arguments.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
You can have more than one quoted string, and curl will apply them in
|
|||
|
order. This is what I use for my MVS upload:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
curl -B --crlf -Q "site lrecl=80" -Q "site blk=8000" -T file ftp://os390/test
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Curl will send the two quoted "site" commands in the proper order.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Made it compile smoothly on AIX.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gilbert Ramirez Jr. (18 Dec 1998)
|
|||
|
- Brought an MVS patch: -3/--mvs, for ftp upload to the MVS ftp server.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Troy Engel (17 Dec 1998)
|
|||
|
- Brought a correction that fixes the win32 curl bug.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- A bug, pointed out to me by Dr H. T. Leung, caused curl to crash on the -A
|
|||
|
flag on certain systems. Actually, all systems should've!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Added a few defines to make directories/file names get build nicer (with _
|
|||
|
instead of . and \ instead of / in win32).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- steve <fisk at polar.bowdoin.edu> reported a weird bug that occured if the
|
|||
|
ftp server response line had a parenthesis on the line before the (size)
|
|||
|
info. I hope it works better now!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.2.1
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Steven G. Johnson (Dec 14, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Brought a fix that corrected a crash in 5.2 due to bad treatment of the
|
|||
|
environment variables.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.2
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Dec 14, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Rewrote the mkhelp script and now, the mkhelp.pl script generates the
|
|||
|
hugehelp.c file from the README *and* the man page file curl.1. By using
|
|||
|
both files, I no longer need to have double information in both the man
|
|||
|
page and the README as well. So, win32-users will only have the hugehelp.c
|
|||
|
file for all info, but then, they download the plain binary most times
|
|||
|
anyway.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- gcc2.8.1 with the -Wall flag complaints a lot on subscript has type `char'
|
|||
|
if I don't explicitly typecast the argument to isdigit() or isspace() to
|
|||
|
int. So I did to compile warning free with that too.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Added checks for 'long double' and 'long long' in the configure script. I
|
|||
|
need those for the mprintf.c source to compile well on non long long
|
|||
|
comforming systems!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.1 (not publicly released)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Dec 10, 1998)
|
|||
|
- I got a request for a pre-compiled NT Alpha version. Anyone?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Added Lynx/CERN www lib proxy environment variable support. That means curl
|
|||
|
now reads and understands the following environment variables:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, FTP_PROXY, GOPHER_PROXY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
They should be set for protocol-specific proxies. General proxy should be
|
|||
|
set with
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
ALL_PROXY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
And a comma-separated list of host names that shouldn't go through any
|
|||
|
proxy is set in (only an asterisk, '*' matches all hosts).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
NO_PROXY
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The usage of the -x/--proxy flag overrides the environment variables.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Proxy can now be specified with a procotol:// prefix.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Wrote the curl.1 man page.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Introduced a whole new dynamic buffer system for all sprintf()s. It is
|
|||
|
based on the *printf() package by yours truly and Bjorn Reese. Hopefully,
|
|||
|
there aren't that many buffer overflow risks left now.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Ah, I should mention I've compiled and built curl successfully under
|
|||
|
solaris 2.6 with gcc now, gcc 2.7.2 won't work but 2.8.1 did ok.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Oren Tirosh (Dec 3, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Brought two .spec files, to use when creating (Linux) Redhat style RPM
|
|||
|
packages. They're named curl.spec and curl-ssl.spec.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Troy Engel
|
|||
|
- Supplied the src/Makefile.vc6 for easy compiling with VC++ under Win32.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.0
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Dec 1, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Not a single bug report in ages.
|
|||
|
- Corrected getpass.c and main.c to compile warning and error free with the
|
|||
|
Win32 VC++ crap.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.0 beta 24

HOW TO BUILD A RELEASE ARCHIVE:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Pre-requisite software:
|
|||
|
What To build what Reads data from
|
|||
|
==== ============= ===============
|
|||
|
GNU automake Makefile.in, aclocal.m4 configure.in
|
|||
|
GNU make(1) - " -
|
|||
|
GNU gcc(1) - " -
|
|||
|
GNU autoconf configure configure.in
|
|||
|
GNU autoheader(2) config.h.in configure.in, acconfig.h
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Make sure all files that should be part of the archive are put in FILES.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* Run './maketgz' and enter version number of the new to become archive.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
maketgz does:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Enters the newly created version number in url.h.
|
|||
|
- (If you don't have automake, this script will warn about that, but unless
|
|||
|
you have changed the Makefile.am files, that is nothing to care about.)
|
|||
|
If you have it, it'll run it.
|
|||
|
- If you have autoconf, the configure.in will be edited to get the newly
|
|||
|
created version number and autoconf will be run.
|
|||
|
- Creates a new directory named curl-<version>. (Actually, it uses the base
|
|||
|
name of the current directory up to the first '-'.)
|
|||
|
- Copies all files mentioned in FILES to the new directory. Saving
|
|||
|
permissions and directory structure.
|
|||
|
- Uses tar to create an archive of it all, named curl-<version>.tar.gz
|
|||
|
- gzips the archive
|
|||
|
- Removes the new directory and all its contents.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* When done, you have an archive stored in your directory named
|
|||
|
curl-<version>.tar.gz.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Done!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(1) They're required to make automake run properly.
|
|||
|
(2) It is distributed as a part of the GNU autoconf archive.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 18, 1998)
|
|||
|
- I changed the TAG-system. If you ever used urlget() from this package in
|
|||
|
another product, you need to recompile with the new headers. I did this
|
|||
|
new stuff to better deal with different compilers and system with different
|
|||
|
variable sizes. I think it makes it a little more portable. This proves
|
|||
|
to compile warning free with the problematic IRIX compiler!
|
|||
|
- Win32 compiled with a silly error. Corrected now.
|
|||
|
- Brian Chaplin reported yet another problem in
|
|||
|
multiline FTP responses. I've tried to correct it. I mailed him a new
|
|||
|
version and I hope he gets back soon with positive feedback!
|
|||
|
- Improved the 'maketgz' to create a temporary directory tree which it makes
|
|||
|
an archive from instead of the previous renaming of the current one.
|
|||
|
- Mailing list opened (see README).
|
|||
|
- Made -v more verbose on the PASV section of ftp transfers. Now it tells
|
|||
|
host name and IP of the new host (and port number). I also added a section
|
|||
|
about PORT vs PASV in the README.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 5.0 beta 21
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Angus Mackay (Nov 15, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Introduced automake stuff.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 13, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Just made a successful GET of a document from an SSL-server using my own
|
|||
|
private certificate for authentication! The certificate has to be in PEM
|
|||
|
format. You do that the easiest way (although not *that* easy) by
|
|||
|
downloading the SSLyeay PKCS#12-patch by Dr Stephen N. Henson from his site
|
|||
|
at: http://www.drh-consultancy.demon.co.uk/. Using his tool, you can
|
|||
|
convert any modern Netscape or (even) MSIE certificate to PEM-format. Use
|
|||
|
it with 'curl -E <certificate:password> https://site.com'. If this isn't a
|
|||
|
cool feature, then I don't know what cool features look like! ;-)
|
|||
|
- Working slowly on telnet connections. #define TRY_TELNET to try it out.
|
|||
|
(curl -u user:passwd "telnet://host.com/cat .login" is one example) I do
|
|||
|
have problem to define how it should work. The prime purpose for this must
|
|||
|
be to get (8bit clean) files via telnet, and it really isn't that easy to
|
|||
|
get files this way. Still having problems with \n being converted to \r\n.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Angus Mackay (Nov 12, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Corrected another bug in the long parameter name parser.
|
|||
|
- Modified getpass.c (NOTE: see the special licensing in the top of that
|
|||
|
source file).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 12, 1998)
|
|||
|
- We may have removed the silly warnings from url.c when compiled under IRIX.
|
|||
|
Thanks again to Bjorn Reese and Martin Staael.
|
|||
|
- Wrote formfind.pl which is a new perl script intended to help you find out
|
|||
|
how a FORM submission should be done. This needs a little more work to get
|
|||
|
really good.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 11, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Made the HTTP header-checker accept white spaces before the HTTP/1.? line.
|
|||
|
Appearantly some proxies/sites add such at times (my test proxy did when I
|
|||
|
downloaded a gopher page with it)!
|
|||
|
- Moved the former -h to -M and made -h show the short help text instead. I
|
|||
|
had to enable a forced help text option. Now an even shorter help text will
|
|||
|
be presented when an unknown option and similar, is used.
|
|||
|
- stdcheaders.h didn't work with IRIX 6.4 native cc compiler. I hope my
|
|||
|
changes don't make other versions go nuts instead.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 10, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Added a weird check in the configure script to check for the silly AIX
|
|||
|
warnings about my #define strcasecmp() stuff. I do that define to prevent
|
|||
|
me and other contributors to accidentaly use that function name instead
|
|||
|
of strequal()...
|
|||
|
- I bugfixed Angus's getpass.c very little.
|
|||
|
- Fixed the verbose flag names to getopt-style, i.e 'curl --loc' will be
|
|||
|
sufficient instead of --location as "loc" is a unique prefix. Also, anything
|
|||
|
after a '--' is treated as an URL. So if you do have a host with a weeeird
|
|||
|
name you can do 'curl -- -host.com'.
|
|||
|
- Another getopt-adjust; curl now accepts flags after the URL on the command
|
|||
|
line. 'curl www.foo.com -O' is perfectly valid.
|
|||
|
- Corrected the .curlrc parser so that strtok() is no longer used and I
|
|||
|
believe it works better. Even URLs can be specified in it now.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Angus Mackay (Nov 9, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Replaced getpass.c with a newly written one, not under GPL license
|
|||
|
- Changed OS to a #define in config.h instead of compiler flag
|
|||
|
- Makefile now uses -DHAVE_CONFIG_H
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 9, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Ok, I expanded the tgz-target to update the version string on each occation
|
|||
|
I build a release archive!
|
|||
|
- I reacted on Angus Mackay's initiative and remade the parameter parser to
|
|||
|
be more getopt compliant. Curl now supports "merged" flags as in
|
|||
|
curl -lsv ftp.site.com
|
|||
|
Do note that I had to move three short-names of the options. Parameters
|
|||
|
that needs an additional string such as -x must be stand-alone or the
|
|||
|
last in a merged sequence:
|
|||
|
curl -lsx my-proxy ftp.site.com
|
|||
|
is ok, but using the flags in a different order like '-lxs' would cause
|
|||
|
unexpected results (as the 's' option would be skipped).
|
|||
|
- I've changed the headers in all files that are subject to the MozPL
|
|||
|
license, as they are supposed to look like when conforming.
|
|||
|
- Made the configure script make the config.h. The former config.h is now
|
|||
|
setup.h.
|
|||
|
- The RESOURCES and TODO files have been added to the archive.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Angus Mackay (Nov 5, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Fixed getpass.c and various configure stuff
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg (Nov 3, 1998)
|
|||
|
- Use -H/--header for custom HTTP-headers. Lets you pass on your own
|
|||
|
specified headers to the remote server. I wouldn't recommend trying to use
|
|||
|
a header with a defined usage according to standards. Use this flag once
|
|||
|
for every custom header you want to add.
|
|||
|
- Use -B/--ftp-ascii to force ftp to use ASCII mode when transfering files.
|
|||
|
- Corrected the 'getlinks.pl' script, I accidentally left my silly proxy
|
|||
|
usage in there! Since the introduction of the .curlrc file, it is easier to
|
|||
|
write scripts that use curl since proxies and stuff should be in the
|
|||
|
.curlrc file anyway.
|
|||
|
- Introducing the new -F flag for HTTP POST. It supports multipart/form-data
|
|||
|
which means it is gonna be possible to upload files etc through HTTP POST.
|
|||
|
Shiraz Kanga asked for the feature and my brother,
|
|||
|
Bj<42>rn Stenberg helped me design the user
|
|||
|
interface for this beast. This feature requires quite some docs,
|
|||
|
since it has turned out not only quite capable, but also complicated! :-)
|
|||
|
- A note here, since I've received mail about it. SSLeay versions prior to
|
|||
|
0.8 will *not* work with curl!
|
|||
|
- Wil Langford reported a bug that occurred since curl
|
|||
|
did not properly use CRLF when issuing ftp commands. I fixed it.
|
|||
|
- Rearranged the order config files are read. .curlrc is now *always* read
|
|||
|
first and before the command line flags. -K config files then act as
|
|||
|
additional config items.
|
|||
|
- Use -q AS THE FIRST OPTION specified to prevent .curlrc from being read.
|
|||
|
- You can now disable a proxy by using -x "". Useful if the .curlrc file
|
|||
|
specifies a proxy and you wanna fetch something without going through
|
|||
|
that.
|
|||
|
- I'm thinking of dropping the -p support. Its really not useful since ports
|
|||
|
could (and should?) be specified as :<port> appended on the host name
|
|||
|
instead, both in URLs and to proxy host names.
|
|||
|
- Martin Staael reports curl -L bugs under Windows NT
|
|||
|
(test with URL http://come.to/scsde). This bug is not present in this
|
|||
|
version anymore.
|
|||
|
- Added support for the weird FTP URL type= thing. You can download a file
|
|||
|
using ASCII transfer by appending ";type=A" to the right of it. Other
|
|||
|
available types are type=D for dir-list (NLST) and type=I for binary
|
|||
|
transfer. I can't say I've ever seen anyone use this kind of URL though!
|
|||
|
:-)
|
|||
|
- Troy Engel pointed out a bug in my getenv("HOME")
|
|||
|
usage for win32 systems. I introduce getenv.c to better cope with
|
|||
|
this. Mr Engel helps me with the details around that...
|
|||
|
- A little note to myself and others, I should make the win32-binary built
|
|||
|
with SSL support...
|
|||
|
- Ryan Nelson sent me comments about building curl
|
|||
|
with SSL under FreeBSD. See the Makefile for details. Using the configure
|
|||
|
script, it should work better and automatically now...
|
|||
|
- Cleaned up in the port number mess in the source. No longer stores and uses
|
|||
|
proxy port number separate from normal port number.
|
|||
|
- 'configure' script working. Confirmed compiles on:
|
|||
|
Host SSL Compiler
|
|||
|
SunOS 5.5 no gcc
|
|||
|
SunOS 5.5.1 yes gcc
|
|||
|
SunOS 5.6 no cc (with gcc, it has the "gcc include files" problem)
|
|||
|
SunOS 4.1.3 no gcc (without ANSI C headers)
|
|||
|
SunOS 4.1.2 no gcc (native compiler failed)
|
|||
|
Linux 2.0.18 no gcc
|
|||
|
Linux 2.0.32 yes gcc
|
|||
|
Linux 2.0.35 no gcc (with glibc)
|
|||
|
IRIX 6.2 no gcc (cc compiles generate a few warnings)
|
|||
|
IRIX 6.4 no cc (generated warnings though)
|
|||
|
Win32 no Borland
|
|||
|
OSF4.0 no ?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Ooops. The 5beta (and 4.10) under win32 failed if the HOME variable wasn't
|
|||
|
set.
|
|||
|
- When using a proxy, curl now guesses and uses the protocol part in cases
|
|||
|
like:
|
|||
|
curl -x proxy:80 www.site.com
|
|||
|
Proxies normally go nuts unless http:// is prepended to the host name, so
|
|||
|
if curl is used like this, it guesses protocol and appends the protocol
|
|||
|
string before passing it to the proxy. It already did this when used
|
|||
|
without proxy.
|
|||
|
- Better port usage with SSL through proxy now. If you specified a different
|
|||
|
https-port when accessing through a proxy, it didn't use that number
|
|||
|
correctly. I also rewrote the code that parses the stuff read from the
|
|||
|
proxy when you wanna connect through it with SSL.
|
|||
|
- Bjorn Reese helped me work around one of the compiler
|
|||
|
warnings on IRIX native cc compiles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.10 (Oct 26, 1998)
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- John A. Bristor suggested a config file switch,
|
|||
|
and since I've been having that idea kind of in the background for a long
|
|||
|
time I rewrote the parameter parsing function a little and now I introduce
|
|||
|
the -K/--config flag. I also made curl *always* (unless -K is used) try to
|
|||
|
load the .curlrc file for command line parameters. The syntax for the
|
|||
|
config file is the standard command line argument style. Details in 'curl
|
|||
|
-h' or the README.
|
|||
|
- I removed the -k option. Keep-alive isn't really anything anyone would
|
|||
|
want to enable with curl anyway.
|
|||
|
- Martin Staael helped me add the 'irix' target. Now
|
|||
|
"make irix" should build curl successfully on non-gcc SGI machines.
|
|||
|
- Single switches now toggle behaviours. I.e if you use -v -v the second
|
|||
|
will switch off the verbose mode the first one enabled. This is so that
|
|||
|
you can disable a default setting a .curlrc file enables etc.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.9 (Oct 7, 1998)
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Martin Staael suggested curl would support cookies.
|
|||
|
I added -b/--cookie to enable free-text cookie data to be passed. There's
|
|||
|
also a little blurb about general cookie stuff in the README/help text.
|
|||
|
- dmh <dmh at jet.es> suggested HTTP resume capabilities. Although you could
|
|||
|
manually get curl to resume HTTP documents, I made the -c resume flag work
|
|||
|
for HTTP too (unless -r is used too, which would be very odd anyway).
|
|||
|
- Added checklinks.pl to the archive. It is a still experimental perl script
|
|||
|
that checks all links of a web page by using curl.
|
|||
|
- Rearranged the archive hierarchy a little. Build the executable in the
|
|||
|
src/ dir from now on!
|
|||
|
- Version 4.9 and hereafter, is no longer released under the GPL license.
|
|||
|
I have now updated the LEGAL file etc and now this is released using the
|
|||
|
Mozilla Public License to avoid the plague known as "the GPL virus". You
|
|||
|
must make the source available if you decide to change and/or redistribute
|
|||
|
curl, but if you decide to use curl within something else you do not need
|
|||
|
to offer the world the source to that too.
|
|||
|
- Curl did not like HTTP servers that sent no headers at all on a GET
|
|||
|
request. It is a violation of RFC2068 but appearantly some servers do
|
|||
|
that anyway. Thanks to Gordon Beaton for the report!
|
|||
|
- -L/--location was added after a suggestion from Martin Staael. This makes
|
|||
|
curl ATTEMPT to follow the Location: redirect if one is present in the HTTP
|
|||
|
headers. If -i or -I is used with this flag, you will see headers from all
|
|||
|
sites the Location: points to. Do note that the first server can point to a
|
|||
|
second that points to a third etc. It seems the Location: parameter (said
|
|||
|
to be an AbsoluteURI in RFC2068) isn't always absolute.. :-/ Anyway, I've
|
|||
|
made curl ATTEMPT to do the best it can to deal with the reality.
|
|||
|
- Added getlinks.pl to the archive. getlinks.pl selectively downloads
|
|||
|
files that a web page links to.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.8.4
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- As Julian Romero Nieto reported, curl reported wrong version number.
|
|||
|
- As Teemu Yli-Elsila pointed out, the win32 version of 4.8 (and probably all
|
|||
|
other versions for win32) didn't work with binary files since I'm too used
|
|||
|
to the UNIX style fopen() where binary and text don't differ...
|
|||
|
- Ralph Beckmann brought me some changes that lets curl compile error and
|
|||
|
warning free with -Wall -pedantic with g++. I also took the opportunity to
|
|||
|
clean off some unused variables and similar.
|
|||
|
- Ralph Beckmann made me aware of a really odd bug now corrected. When curl
|
|||
|
read a set of headers from a HTTP server, divided into more than one read
|
|||
|
and the first read showed a full line *exactly* (i.e ending with a
|
|||
|
newline), curl did not behave well.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.8.3
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- I was too quick to release 4.8.2 with too little testing. One of the
|
|||
|
changes is now reverted slightly to the 4.8.1 way since 4.8.2 couldn't
|
|||
|
upload files. I still think both problems corrected in 4.8.2 remain
|
|||
|
corrected. Reported by Julian Romero Nieto.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.8.2
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Bernhard Iselborn reported two FTP protocol errors curl did. They're now
|
|||
|
corrected. Both appeared when getting files from a MS FTP server! :-)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.8.1
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Added a last update of the progress meter when the transfer is done. The
|
|||
|
final output on the screen didn't have to be the final size transfered
|
|||
|
which made it sometimes look odd.
|
|||
|
- Thanks to David Long I got rid of a silly bug that happened if a HTTP-page
|
|||
|
had nothing but header. Appearantly Solaris deals with negative sizes in
|
|||
|
fwrite() calls a lot better than Linux does... =B-]
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.8
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Continue FTP file transfer. -c is the switch. Note that you need to
|
|||
|
specify a file name if you wanna resume a download (you can't resume a
|
|||
|
download sent to stdout). Resuming upload may be limited by the server
|
|||
|
since curl is then using the non-RFC959 command SIZE to get the size of
|
|||
|
the target file before upload begins (to figure out which offset to
|
|||
|
use). Use -C to specify the offset yourself! -C is handy if you're doing
|
|||
|
the output to something else but a plain file or when you just want to get
|
|||
|
the end of a file.
|
|||
|
- recursiveftpget.pl now features a maximum recursive level argument.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.7
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Added support to abort a download if the speed is below a certain amount
|
|||
|
(speed-limit) bytes per second for a certain (speed-time) time.
|
|||
|
- Wrote a perl script 'recursiveftpget.pl' to recursively use curl to get a
|
|||
|
whole ftp directory tree. It is meant as an example of how curl can be
|
|||
|
used. I agree it isn't the wisest thing to do to make a separate new
|
|||
|
connection for each file and directory for this.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.6
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Added a first attempt to optionally parse the .netrc file for login user
|
|||
|
and password. If used with http, it enables user authentication. -n is
|
|||
|
the new switch.
|
|||
|
- Removed the extra newlines on the default user-agent string.
|
|||
|
- Corrected the missing ftp upload error messages when it failed without the
|
|||
|
verbose flag set. Gary W. Swearingen found it.
|
|||
|
- Now using alarm() to enable second-precision timeout even on the name
|
|||
|
resolving/connecting phase. The timeout is although reset after that first
|
|||
|
sequence. (This should be corrected.) Gary W. Swearingen reported.
|
|||
|
- Now spells "Unknown" properly, as in "Unknown option 'z'"... :-)
|
|||
|
- Added bug report email address in the README.
|
|||
|
- Added a "current speed" field to the progress meter. It shows the average
|
|||
|
speed the last 5 seconds. The other speed field shows the average speed of
|
|||
|
the entire transfer so far.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.5.1
|
|||
|
Linas Vepstas
|
|||
|
- SSL through proxy fix
|
|||
|
- Added -A to allow User-Agent: changes
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Made the -A work when SSL-through-proxy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.5
|
|||
|
Linas Vepstas
|
|||
|
- More SSL corrections
|
|||
|
- I've added a port to AIX.
|
|||
|
- running SSL through a proxy causes a chunk of code to be executred twice.
|
|||
|
one of those blocks needs to be deleted.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Made -i and -I work again
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.4
|
|||
|
Linas Vepstas
|
|||
|
- -x can now also specify proxyport when used as in 'proxyhost:proxyport'
|
|||
|
- SSL fixes
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.3
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Adjusted to compile under win32 (VisualC++ 5). The -P switch does not
|
|||
|
support network interface names in win32. I couldn't figure out how!
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.2
|
|||
|
Linas Vepstas / Sampo Kellomaki
|
|||
|
- Added SSL / SSLeay support (https://)
|
|||
|
- Added the -T usage for HTTP POST.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Bugfixed the SSL implementation.
|
|||
|
- Made -P a lot better to use other IP addresses. It now accepts a following
|
|||
|
parameter that can be either
|
|||
|
interface - i.e "eth0" to specify which interface's IP address you
|
|||
|
want to use
|
|||
|
IP address - i.e "192.168.10.1" to specify exact IP number
|
|||
|
host name - i.e "my.host.domain" to specify machine
|
|||
|
"-" - (any single-letter string) to make it pick the machine's
|
|||
|
default
|
|||
|
- The Makefile is now ready to compile for solaris, sunos4 and linux right
|
|||
|
out of the box.
|
|||
|
- Better generated version string seen with 'curl -V'
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4.1
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- The IP number returned by the ftp server as a reply to PASV does no longer
|
|||
|
have to DNS resolve. In fact, no IP-number-only addresses have to anymore.
|
|||
|
- Binds better to available port when -P is used.
|
|||
|
- Now LISTs ./ instead of / when used as in ftp://ftp.funet.fi/. The reason
|
|||
|
for this is that exactly that site, ftp.funet.fi, does not allow LIST /
|
|||
|
while LIST ./ is fine. Any objections?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 4 (1998-03-20)
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- I took another huge step and changed both version number and project name!
|
|||
|
The reason for the new name is that there are just one too many programs
|
|||
|
named urlget already and this program already can a lot more than merely
|
|||
|
getting URLs, and the reason for the version number is that I did add the
|
|||
|
pretty big change in -P and since I changed name I wanted to start with
|
|||
|
something fresh!
|
|||
|
- The --style flags are working better now.
|
|||
|
- Listing directories with FTP often reported that the file transfer was
|
|||
|
incomplete. Wrong assumptions were too common for directories, why no
|
|||
|
size will be attempted to get compared on them from now on.
|
|||
|
- Implemented the -P flag that let's the ftp control issue a PORT command
|
|||
|
instead of the standard PASV.
|
|||
|
- -a for appending FTP uploads works.
|
|||
|

***************************************************************************
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.12 (14 March 1998)
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- End-of-header tracking still lacked support for \r\n or just \n at the
|
|||
|
end of the last header line.
|
|||
|
Sergio Barresi
|
|||
|
- Added PROXY authentication.
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Fixed some little bugs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.11
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- The header parsing was still not correct since the 3.2 modification...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.10
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- 3.7 and 3.9 were simultaneously developed and merged into this version.
|
|||
|
- FTP upload did not work correctly since 3.2.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.9
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Added the "-e <url> / --referer <url>" option where we can specify
|
|||
|
the referer page. Obviously, this is necessary only to fool the
|
|||
|
server, but...
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.7
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Now checks the last error code sent from the ftp server after a file has
|
|||
|
been received or uploaded. Wasn't done previously.
|
|||
|
- When 'urlget <host>' is used without a 'protocol://' first in the host part,
|
|||
|
it now checks for host names starting with ftp or gopher and if it does,
|
|||
|
it uses that protocol by default instead of http.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.6
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Silly mistake made the POST bug. This has now also been tested to work with
|
|||
|
proxy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.5
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Highly inspired by Rafael Sagula's changes to the 3.1 that added an almost
|
|||
|
functional POST, I applied his changes into this version and made them work.
|
|||
|
(It seems POST requires the Content-Type and Content-Length headers.) It is
|
|||
|
now usable with the -d switch.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.3 - 3.4
|
|||
|
Passed to avoid confusions
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.2
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Major rewrite of two crucial parts of this code: upload and download.
|
|||
|
They are both now using a select() switch, that allows much better
|
|||
|
progress meter and time control.
|
|||
|
- alarm() usage removed completely
|
|||
|
- FTP get can now list directory contents if the path ends with a slash '/'.
|
|||
|
Urlget on a ftp-path that doesn't end with a slash means urlget will
|
|||
|
attempt getting it as a file name.
|
|||
|
- FTP directory view supports -l for "list-only" which lists the file names
|
|||
|
only.
|
|||
|
- All operations support -m for max time usage in seconds allowed.
|
|||
|
- FTP upload now allows the size of the uploaded file to be provided, and
|
|||
|
thus it can better check it actually uploaded the whole file. It also
|
|||
|
makes the progress meter for uploads much better!
|
|||
|
- Made the parameter parsing fail in cases like 'urlget -r 900' which
|
|||
|
previously tried to connect to the host named '900'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.1
|
|||
|
Kjell Ericson
|
|||
|
- Pointed out how to correct the 3 warnings in win32-compiles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Removed all calls to exit().
|
|||
|
- Made the short help text get written to stdout instead of stderr.
|
|||
|
- Made this file instead of keeping these comments in the source.
|
|||
|
- Made two callback hooks, that enable external programs to use urlget()
|
|||
|
easier and to grab the output/offer the input easier.
|
|||
|
- It is evident that Win32-compiles are painful. I watched the output from
|
|||
|
the Borland C++ v5 and it was awful. Just ignore all those warnings.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 3.0
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Added FTP upload capabilities. The name urlget gets a bit silly now
|
|||
|
when we can put too... =)
|
|||
|
- Restructured the source quite a lot.
|
|||
|
Changed the urlget() interface. This way, we will survive changes much
|
|||
|
better. New features can come and old can be removed without us needing
|
|||
|
to change the interface. I've written a small explanation in urlget.h
|
|||
|
that explains it.
|
|||
|
- New flags include -t, -T, -O and -h. The -h text is generated by the new
|
|||
|
mkhelp script.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.9
|
|||
|
Remco van Hooff
|
|||
|
- Added a fix to make it compile smoothly on Amiga using the SAS/C
|
|||
|
compiler.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Believe it or not, but the STUPID Novell web server seems to require
|
|||
|
that the Host: keyword is used, so well I use it and I (re-introduce) the
|
|||
|
urlget User-Agent:. I still have to check that this Host: usage works with
|
|||
|
proxies... 'Host:' is required for HTTP/1.1 GET according to RFC2068.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.8
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- some little modifications
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.7
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Removed the -l option and introduced the -f option instead. Now I'll
|
|||
|
rewrite the former -l kludge in an external script that'll use urlget to
|
|||
|
fetch multipart files like that.
|
|||
|
- '-f' is introduced, it means Fail without output in case of HTTP server
|
|||
|
errors (return code >=300).
|
|||
|
- Added support for -r, ranges. Specify which part of a document you
|
|||
|
want, and only that part is returned. Only with HTTP/1.1-servers.
|
|||
|
- Split up the source in 3 parts. Now all pure URL functions are in
|
|||
|
urlget.c and stuff that deals with the stand-alone program is in main.c.
|
|||
|
- I took a few minutes and wrote an embryo of a README file to explain
|
|||
|
a few things.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.6
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Made the -l (loop) thing use the new CONF_FAILONERROR which makes
|
|||
|
urlget() return error code if non-successful. It also won't output anything
|
|||
|
then. Now finally removed the HTTP 1.0 and error 404 dependencies.
|
|||
|
- Added -I which uses the HEAD request to get the header only from a
|
|||
|
http-server.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.5
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Made the progress meter use HHH:MM:SS instead of only seconds.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.4
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Added progress meter. It appears when downloading > BUFFER SIZE and
|
|||
|
mute is not selected. I found out that when downloading large files from
|
|||
|
really really slow sites, it is desirable to know the status of the
|
|||
|
download. Do note that some downloads are done unawaring of the size, which
|
|||
|
makes the progress meter less thrilling ;) If the output is sent to a tty,
|
|||
|
the progress meter is shut off.
|
|||
|
- Increased buffer size used for reading.
|
|||
|
- Added length checks in the user+passwd parsing.
|
|||
|
- Made it grok user+passwd for HTTP fetches. The trick is to base64
|
|||
|
encode the user+passwd and send an extra header line. Read chapter 11.1 in
|
|||
|
RFC2068 for details. I added it to be used just like the ftp one. To get a
|
|||
|
http document from a place that requires user and password, use an URL
|
|||
|
like:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
http://user:passwd@www.site.to.leach/doc.html
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I also added the -u flag, since WHEN USING A PROXY YOU CAN'T SPECIFY THE
|
|||
|
USER AND PASSWORD WITH HTTP LIKE THAT. The -u flag works for ftp too, but
|
|||
|
not if used with proxy. To do the same as the above one, you can invoke:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
urlget -u user:passwd http://www.site.to.leach/doc.html
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.3
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Added "-o" option (output file)
|
|||
|
- Added URG_HTTP_NOT_FOUND return code.
|
|||
|
(Daniel's note:)
|
|||
|
Perhaps we should detect all kinds of errors and instead of writing that
|
|||
|
custom string for the particular 404-error, use the error text we actually
|
|||
|
get from the server. See further details in RFC2068 (HTTP 1.1
|
|||
|
definition). The current way also relies on a HTTP/1.0 reply, which newer
|
|||
|
servers might not do.
|
|||
|
- Looping mode ("-l" option). It's easier to get various split files.
|
|||
|
(Daniel's note:)
|
|||
|
Use it like 'urlget -l 1 http://from.this.site/file%d.html', which will
|
|||
|
make urlget to attempt to fetch all files named file1.html, file2.html etc
|
|||
|
until no more files are found. This is only a modification of the
|
|||
|
STAND_ALONE part, nothing in the urlget() function was modfified for this.
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Changed the -h to be -i instead. -h should be preserved to help use.
|
|||
|
- Bjorn Reese indicated that Borland _might_ use '_WIN32' instead of the
|
|||
|
VC++ WIN32 define and therefore I added a little fix for that.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.2
|
|||
|
Johan Andersson
|
|||
|
- The urlget function didn't set the path to url when using proxy.
|
|||
|
- Fixed bug with IMC proxy. Now using (almost) complete GET command.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Made it compile on Solaris. Had to reorganize the includes a bit.
|
|||
|
(so Win32, Linux, SunOS 4 and Solaris 2 compile fine.)
|
|||
|
- Made Johan's keepalive keyword optional with the -k flag (since it
|
|||
|
makes a lot of urlgets take a lot longer time).
|
|||
|
- Made a '-h' switch in case you want the HTTP-header in the output.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.1
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg and Kjell Ericson
|
|||
|
- Win32-compilable
|
|||
|
- No more global variables
|
|||
|
- Mute option (no output at all to stderr)
|
|||
|
- Full range of return codes from urlget(), which is now written to be a
|
|||
|
function for easy-to-use in [other] programs.
|
|||
|
- Define STAND_ALONE to compile the stand alone urlget program
|
|||
|
- Now compiles with gcc options -ansi -Wall -pedantic ;)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 2.0
|
|||
|
- Introducing ftp GET support. The FTP URL type is recognized and used.
|
|||
|
- Renamed the project to 'urlget'.
|
|||
|
- Supports the user+passwd in the FTP URL (otherwise it tries anonymous
|
|||
|
login with a weird email address as password).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.5
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- The skip_header() crap messed it up big-time. By simply removing that
|
|||
|
one we can all of a sudden download anything ;)
|
|||
|
- No longer requires a trailing slash on the URLs.
|
|||
|
- If the given URL isn't prefixed with 'http://', HTTP is assumed and
|
|||
|
given a try!
|
|||
|
- 'void main()' is history.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.4
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- The gopher source used the ppath variable instead of path which could
|
|||
|
lead to disaster.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.3
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Well, I added a lame text about the time it took to get the data. I also
|
|||
|
fought against Johan to prevent his -f option (to specify a file name
|
|||
|
that should be written instead of stdout)! =)
|
|||
|
- Made it write 'connection refused' for that particular connect()
|
|||
|
problem.
|
|||
|
- Renumbered the version. Let's not make silly 1.0.X versions, this is
|
|||
|
a plain 1.3 instead.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.2
|
|||
|
Johan Andersson
|
|||
|
- Discovered and fixed the problem with getting binary files. puts() is
|
|||
|
now replaced with fwrite(). (Daniel's note: this also fixed the buffer
|
|||
|
overwrite problem I found in the previous version.)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Let "-p" before "-x".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Bugfixed the proxy usage. It should *NOT* use nor strip the port number
|
|||
|
from the URL but simply pass that information to the proxy. This also
|
|||
|
made the user/password fields possible to use in proxy [ftp-] URLs.
|
|||
|
(like in ftp://user:password@ftp.my.site:8021/README)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Johan Andersson
|
|||
|
- Implemented HTTP proxy support.
|
|||
|
- Receive byte counter added.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Bjorn Reese
|
|||
|
- Implemented URLs (and skipped the old syntax).
|
|||
|
- Output is written to stdout, so to achieve the above example, do:
|
|||
|
httpget http://143.54.10.6/info_logo.gif > test.gif
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.1
|
|||
|
Daniel Stenberg
|
|||
|
- Adjusted it slightly to accept named hosts on the command line. We
|
|||
|
wouldn't wanna use IP numbers for the rest of our lifes, would we?
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Version 1.0
|
|||
|
Rafael Sagula
|
|||
|
- Wrote the initial httpget, which started all this!
