that picks NTLM. Thanks to David Byron letting me test NTLM against his
servers, I could quickly repeat and fix the problem. It turned out to be:
When libcurl POSTs without knowing/using an authentication and it gets back a
list of types from which it picks NTLM, it needs to either continue sending
its data if it keeps the connection alive, or not send the data but close the
connection. Then do the first step in the NTLM auth. libcurl didn't send the
data nor close the connection but simply read the response-body and then sent
the first negotiation step. Which then failed miserably of course. The fixed
version forces a connection if there is more than 2000 bytes left to send.
gets closed just after the request has been sent failed and did not re-issue
a request on a fresh reconnect like the easy interface did. Now it does!
(define CURL_MULTIEASY, run test case 160)
curl_easy_perform() invokes. It was previously unlocked at disconnect, which
could mean that it remained locked between multiple transfers. The DNS cache
may not live as long as the connection cache does, as they are separate.
To deal with the lack of DNS (host address) data availability in re-used
connections, libcurl now keeps a copy of the IP adress as a string, to be able
to show it even on subsequent requests on the same connection.
present in RFC959... so now (lib)curl supports it as well. --ftp-account and
CURLOPT_FTP_ACCOUNT set the account string. (The server may ask for an account
string after PASS have been sent away. The client responds with "ACCT [account
string]".) Added test case 228 and 229 to verify the functionality. Updated
the test FTP server to support ACCT somewhat.

include doing it for %00 as well - see KNOWN_BUGS for details.) Test case 225

1) the proxy environment variables are still read and used to set HTTP proxy
2) you couldn't disable http proxy with CURLOPT_PROXY (since the option was
disabled)

for them to be a valid guessable name. I also removed "https" as a prefix that
indicates HTTPS, since we hardly ever see any host names using that.
using a custom Host: header and curl fails to send a request on a re-used

of clues on this, and based on his suggestion I've now removed the check of
that byte since it seems to be able to contain 1 or 5.

the shared cache was deleted before the individual easy handles, the latter

libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero

a comment explaining the reason to the buffer size).
libcurl without cookie support. This is mainly useful if you want to build a
minimalistic libcurl with no cookies support at all. Like for embedded
systems or similar.
response. Previously, libcurl would re-resolve the host name with the new
port number and attempt to connect to that, while it should use the IP from
the control channel. This bug made it hard to EPSV from an FTP server with
multiple IP addresses!
(http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12285), when connecting to an
IPv6 host with FTP, --disable-epsv (or --disable-eprt) effectively disables
the ability to transfer a file. Now, when connected to an FTP server with
IPv6, these FTP commands can't be disabled even if asked to with the
available libcurl options.
If EPSV, EPRT or LPRT is tried and doesn't work, it will not be retried on
the same server again even if a following request is made using a persistent
connection.
If a second request is made to a server, requesting a file from the same
directory as the previous request operated on, libcurl will no longer make
that long series of CWD commands just to end up on the same spot. Note that
this is only for *exactly* the same dir. There is still room for improvements
to optimize the CWD-sending when the dirs are only slightly different.
Added test 210, 211 and 212 to verify these changes. Had to improve the
test script too and added a new primitive to the test file format.
file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it
doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix.
Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in
libcurl v8 due to all the kludges needed to support it.
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, libcurl reported error if a redirect happened even if
the new URL would provide the resumed file. Test case 188 added to verify the
fix (together with existing test 99).

involved in the curl project! This happens when you try to curl a file from a
proftpd site using SSL. It seems proftpd sends a somewhat unorthodox PASS
response code (232 instead of 230). I relaxed the response code check to deal
with this and similar cases.
formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you
must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME.

app to retrieve the errno variable after a (connect) failure. It will make
sense to provide this for more failures in a more generic way, but let's
start like this.
replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request
and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with
two Host: headers.
Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request
and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another
host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the
second Host: header get used in the request.
This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185.
