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.
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved
performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last
few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch
the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so
that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that)
on systems that offer support for that.
o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
those exist.
o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
certificates already in the NSS database are used.
o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
thing is done
o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
verbose mode
o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
keys.
the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
just before this commit, just in case.
complicated work-around for 64bit HPUX compiles. We do the fix using inline
static functions to make them follow the header file properly and thus get
used fine in the test suite too etc.
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
by letting configure check for setmode and ifdef on HAVE_SETMODE. NOTE: non-
configure platforms that havve setmode() needs their hard-coded config.h files
fixed. I fixed the src/config-win32.h.
it fails if the macro that is being undefined is not already defined. To
make this work under all cases and be sure that at a certain point some
specific macro isn't defined we must use the following style in configure:
m4_ifdef([macro], [m4_undefine([macro])])
