CURLOPT_NOBODY enabled but not CURLOPT_HEADER, libcurl wouldn't do TYPE
before it does SIZE which makes it less useful. I walked over the code and
made it do this properly, and added test case 542 to verify it.
second transfer as it didn't store and remember the "" path from the
previous transfer so it would instead CWD to the entry path as stored. This
worked, but did a superfluous command. Thus, test case 541 now also verifies
this fix.
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.
Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
test case runs fine.
out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
case 1003 was added to verify this.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776232) about libcurl calling
Curl_client_write(), passing on a const string that the caller may not
modify and yet it does (on some platforms).
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776235) about ftp requests with NOBODY
on a directory would do a "SIZE (null)" request. This is now fixed and test
case 1000 was added to verify.
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1757328) and submitted a patch. It turns
out we broke login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand) PASS
after the USER command
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0238.html, libcurl didn't properly do
no-body requests on FTP files on re-used connections properly, or at least
it didn't provide the info back in the header callback properly in the
subsequent requests.
returning an error code, to allow connections to be torn down
cleanly since this function can be called AFTER an OOM situation
has already been reached.
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
