HTTP proxy if an FTP URL was given. libcurl now properly switches to pure HTTP
internally when an HTTP proxy is used, even for FTP URLs. The problem would
also occur with other multi-pass auth methods.
with CURLOPT_PROXY can use a http:// prefix and user + password. The user
and password fields are now also URL decoded properly.
Test case 264 added to verify.
address was not possible to use. It is now, but requires it written
RFC2732-style, within brackets - which incidently is how you enter numerical
IPv6 addresses in URLs. Test case 263 added to verify.
.netrc, and when following a Location: the subsequent requests didn't properly
use the auth as found in the netrc file. Added test case 257 to verify my fix.
internally, with code provided by sslgen.c. All SSL-layer-specific code is
then written in ssluse.c (for OpenSSL) and gtls.c (for GnuTLS).
As far as possible, internals should not need to know what SSL layer that is
in use. Building with GnuTLS currently makes two test cases fail.
TODO.gnutls contains a few known outstanding issues for the GnuTLS support.
GnuTLS support is enabled with configure --with-gnutls
USE_WINDOWS_SSPI on Windows, and then libcurl will be built to use the native
way to do NTLM. SSPI also allows libcurl to pass on the current user and its
password in the request.
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.
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)
assumed this used the DICT protocol. While guessing protocols will remain
fuzzy, I've now made sure that the host names must start with "[protocol]."
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.
problem with the version byte and the check for bad versions. Bruce has lots
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.
#1098843. In short, a shared DNS cache was setup for a multi handle and when
the shared cache was deleted before the individual easy handles, the latter
cleanups caused read/writes to already freed memory.
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.
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.
