to automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl
could wrongly provide the callback with more data than what the maximum
documented amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the
maximum limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is
documented).
This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory

simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases
where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using
(overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be
sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care
of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort
all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do
this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area.
Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it
accordingly.
again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the
final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server
reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline
conversions into account.
being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file
descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out
to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me
nail this.
present in the tests/data/Makefile.am and outputs a notice message on the
screen if not. Each test file has to be included in that Makefile.am to get
included in release archives and forgetting to add files there is a common
mistake. This is an attempt to make it harder to forget.
ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on
each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be
incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by
Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed
if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the
reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling
SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid
introducing a memory leak.

versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
option names are still working but the new ones are the prefered ones
(listed and documented).
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy
was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up
from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added
test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.

on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
4xx response.

accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with

curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set
data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at
least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can
be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works.
The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from
the command line.
meter/callback during FTP command/response sequences. It turned out it was
really lame before and now the progress meter SHOULD get called at least
once per second.
though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single
fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but
there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked
curl to believe things were fine.
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the
same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that
previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.

I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc,
but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines
can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key

closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry
in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in
use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of
still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while
it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so
that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could
easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any
percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring
less than 100 bytes.
auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still
made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP
session to get closed and not be re-used.
POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and
"Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced. I would then cause the first request
to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the
connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.
unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously
libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research
shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I
modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.
by user 'koresh' introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl
tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to
read.

made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when using HTTP
GSS negotiate authentication.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
exactly why.
SO_SNDBUF to CURL_WRITE_SIZE even if the SO_SNDBUF starts out larger. The
patch doesn't do a setsockopt if SO_SNDBUF is already greater than
CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with
large send buffers.
the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header
file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified
limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a
buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the
header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into
trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or
less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.
saving received cookies with no given path, if the path in the request had a
query part. That is means a question mark (?) and characters on the right
side of that. I wrote test case 1105 and fixed this problem.
transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols.
This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload,
reported by Vourhey.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used
the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would
load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name
field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP
entry was present it caused the verification to fail.
statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be
set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary
if the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the
--static flag would add the dependencies automatically.
start second "Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 1970" as the date parser then returns 0

libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.
when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
hang.
read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
times.
strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his

and better check that.

each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
in test 311.
