This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
many different hosts in different situations I add it in disabled state.
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.
function do wrong on all input bytes that are >= 0x80 (decimal 128) due to a
signed / unsigned mistake in the code. I fixed it and added test case 543 to
verify.
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.
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.
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.
key was specified and there was no HOME environment variable, and then it
didn't continue to try the other auth methods. Now it will instead try to
get the files id_dsa.pub and id_dsa from the current directory if none of
the two conditions were met.
- Bug report #1792649 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1792649) pointed
out a problem with doing an empty upload over FTP on a re-used connection.
I added test case 541 to reproduce it and to verify the fix.
- I noticed while writing test 541 that the FTP code wrongly did a CWD on the
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 doing first a file:// upload and then an FTP upload crashed libcurl
or at best caused furious valgrind complaints. Fixed now by making sure we
free and clear the file-specific struct properly when done with it.
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.
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.
