History of Changes
Daniel (12 November 2001)
- Kai-Uwe Rommel made me aware that -p (http proxy tunnel) silly enough didn't
work for plain HTTP requests! So I made that work.
Version 7.9.2-pre1
Daniel (12 November 2001)
- Rewrote the Curl_ConnectHTTPProxyTunnel(). It should now not only work a lot
faster, it should only support such ("broken") proxies that John Lask
previously have reported problems with. His proxy sends a trailing zero byte
after the end of the (proxy-) headers. I've tested this myself and it seems
to work on a proxy the previous version also worked with...! This rewrite is
due to the problems John Lask previously experienced.
- Andrés García found out why the "current speed" meter sometimes showed 2048K
for very quick transfers. It turned out the "time diff"-function returned a
zero millisecond diff. We now always say it is at least one millisecond! In
reality, these timers very rarely have that good resolution so even though
the time diff was longer than 1 millisecond, it was reported as no diff.
- I also modified the getinfo() again when returning times, as Paul Harrington
reports that 7.9.1 only returns times with 1 second accuracy, which indeed
is wrong.
Daniel (8 November 2001)
- Marcus Webster found out that curl_formadd() could read one byte outside a
buffer boundary, which then of course could lead to a crash. Marcus also
gracefully provided a patch for this this.
- Glen Scott ran configure on his Cobalt Qube and it didn't figure out the
correct way of calling gethostbyname_r() and thus failed to resolve hosts.
This is two errors: it shouldn't continue the configure script if it finds
gethostbyname_r() but can't figure out how to use it, and it should really
figure out how to use it as it was running Linux and we know how that
works...

- docs/VERSIONS is a new file in the archive that explains the version number
system we use in the curl project.
