the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
better with the appending done!
is inited at the start of the DO action. I removed the Curl_transfer_keeper
struct completely, and I had to move out a few struct members (that had to
be set before DO or used after DONE) to the UrlState struct. The SingleRequest
struct is accessed with SessionHandle->req.
One of the biggest reasons for doing this was the bunch of duplicate struct
members in HandleData and Curl_transfer_keeper since it was really messy to
keep track of two variables with the same name and basically the same purpose!
do_init() and do_complete() which now are called first and last in the DO
function. It simplified the flow in multi.c and the functions got more
sensible names!
forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally
submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory
references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was
setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I
make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct
member.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
fixes:
#1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
used by another connection.
Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.
#2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
SessionHandle was used by a different connection).
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace
the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change
address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace
indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry
for mixing those in.)
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make
the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public
key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.
curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
The curl tool got this option as --post301
Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
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)
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.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1766320) pointing out that the libcurl
code accessed two curl_easy_setopt() options (CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE) as ints even though they're documented to be
passed in as longs, and that makes a difference on 64 bit architectures.
after 7.16.2. This is much due to the different treatment file:// gets
internally, but now I added test 231 to make it less likely to happen again
without us noticing!
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.
and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS. These control the premissions for files
and directories created on the remote server. CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS
defaults to 0644 and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS defaults to 0755
the CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM or CURLOPT_RANGE options and an existing connection
in the connection cache is closed to make room for the new one when you call
curl_easy_perform(). It would then wrongly free range-related data in the
connection close funtion.
server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the
CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first
request.
User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of
the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not
originally http).
I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to
regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as
follows and it's working fine so far
fixing some bugs:
o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline
o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline
o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning
chunked encoding:
* Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF
* Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining
* Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving
headers
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.
The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
marked for closure.
to the debug callback.
- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
