server using the multi interface, the commands are not being sent correctly
and instead the connection is "cancelled" (the operation is considered done)
prematurely. There is a half-baked (busy-looping) patch provided in the bug
report but it cannot be accepted as-is. See
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2006544
due to KfW's library header files exporting symbols/macros that should be
kept private to the KfW library. See ticket #5601 at http://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/
51.Kevin Reed's reported problem with a proxy when doing CONNECT and it
wants NTLM and close the connection to the initial CONNECT response:
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375
a response that was larger than 16KB is now improved slightly so that now
the restriction at 16KB is for the headers only and it should be a rare
situation where the response-headers exceed 16KB. Thus, I consider #47 fixed
and the header limitation is now known as known bug #48.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705802), which was filed by Daniel
Black identifying several FTP-SSL test cases fail when we build libcurl with
NSS for TLS/SSL. Listed as #42 in KNOWN_BUGS.
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.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) (known bug #36) --limit-rate
(CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken
on Windows (since 7.16.0, but that's when they were introduced as previous
to that the limiting logic was made in the application only and not in the
library). It was actually also broken on select()-based systems (as apposed
to poll()) but we haven't had any such reports. We now use select(), Sleep()
or delay() properly to sleep a while without waiting for anything input or
output when the rate limiting is activated with the easy interface.
authentication (with performs multiple "passes" and authenticates a
connection rather than a HTTP request), and particularly when using the
multi interface, there's a risk that libcurl will re-use a wrong connection
when doing the different passes in the NTLM negotiation and thus fail to
negotiate (in seemingly mysterious ways).
36. --limit-rate (CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken on Windows (since 7.16.0, but
that's when they were introduced as previous to that the limiting logic was
made in the application only and not in the library). This problem is easily
repeated and it takes a Windows person to fire up his/hers debugger in order
to fix. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712
KNOWN_BUGS #25, which happens when a proxy closes the connection when
libcurl has sent CONNECT, as part of an authentication negotiation. Starting
now, libcurl will re-connect accordingly and continue the authentication as
it should.
while not fixing things very nicely, it does make the SOCKS5 proxy
connection slightly better as it now acknowledges the timeout for connection
and it no longer segfaults in the case when SOCKS requires authentication
and you did not specify username:password.
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed
to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's
option --limit-rate to the library.
The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead
provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d
and -F, which it didn't before.
This happens because the multi-pass code abuses the redirect following code
for doing multiple requests, and when we following redirects to an absolute
URL we must use the newly specified port and not the one specified in the
original URL. A proper fix to this would need to separate the negotiation
"redirect" from an actual redirect.
server configured in the system, the ares_init() call fails and thus
curl_easy_init() fails as well. This causes weird effects for people who use
numerical IP addresses only.
