(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1299181) that identified a silly problem
with Content-Range: headers with the 'bytes' keyword written in a different
case than all lowercase! It would cause a segfault!
for Windows, that could lead to an Access Violation when the multi interface
was used due to an issue with how the resolver thread was and was not
terminated.
from the command line tool with --ignore-content-length. This will make it
easier to download files from Apache 1.x (and similar) servers that are
still having problems serving files larger than 2 or 4 GB. When this option
is enabled, curl will simply have to wait for the server to close the
connection to signal end of transfer. I wrote test case 269 that runs a
simple test that this works.
that made curl run fine in his end. The key was to make sure we do the
SSL/TLS negotiation immediately after the TCP connect is done and not after
a few other commands have been sent like we did previously. I don't consider
this change necessary to obey the standards, I think this server is pickier
than what the specs allow it to be, but I can't see how this modified
libcurl code can add any problems to those who are interpreting the
standards more liberally.
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE), add a cookie (with CURLOPT_COOKIELIST), tell it to
write the result to a given cookie jar and then never actually call
curl_easy_perform() - the given file(s) to read was never read but the
output file was written and thus it caused a "funny" result.
- While doing some tests for the bug above, I noticed that Firefox generates
large numbers (for the expire time) in the cookies.txt file and libcurl
didn't treat them properly. Now it does.
site responds with bad HTTP response that doesn't contain any header at all,
only a response body, and the write callback returns 0 to abort the
transfer, it didn't have any real effect but the write callback would be
called once more anyway.
zone name of a daylight savings time was used. For example, PDT vs PDS. This
flaw was introduced with the new date parser (11 sep 2004 - 7.12.2).
Fortunately, no web server or cookie string etc should be using such time
zone names thus limiting the effect of this bug.
HTTP proxy if an FTP URL was given. libcurl now properly switches to pure HTTP
internally when an HTTP proxy is used, even for FTP URLs. The problem would
also occur with other multi-pass auth methods.
