(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1618359) and subsequently provided a
patch for it: when downloading 2 zero byte files in a row, curl 7.16.0
enters an infinite loop, while curl 7.16.1-20061218 does one additional
unnecessary request.
Fix: During the "Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and
shared connection cache within the multi handle." change, headerbytecount
was moved to live in the Curl_transfer_keeper structure. But that structure
is reset in the Transfer method, losing the information that we had about
the header size. This patch moves it back to the connectdata struct.
something went wrong like it got a bad response code back from the server,
libcurl would leak memory. Added test case 538 to verify the fix.
I also noted that the connection would get cached in that case, which
doesn't make sense since it cannot be re-use when the authentication has
failed. I fixed that issue too at the same time, and also that the path
would be "remembered" in vain for cases where the connection was about to
get closed.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1600447) in which he noted that active
FTP connections don't work with the multi interface. The problem is here that
the multi interface state machine has a state during which it can wait for the
data connection to connect, but the active connection is not done in the same
step in the sequence as the passive one is so it doesn't quite work for
active. The active FTP code still use a blocking function to allow the remote
server to connect.
The fix (work-around is a better word) for this problem is to set the
boolean prematurely that the data connection is completed, so that the "wait
for connect" phase ends at once.
could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.
We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.
is still trying to resolve the host name, it seems that the ftp struct is not
yet initialized, but the removal action calls Curl_done() which calls
Curl_ftp_done. So we simply return success from there if no ftp pointer is
set.
CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place
in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a
transfer.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini
and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to
get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should
use WSAGetLastError() instead.
When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract
the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at
all after the connect is done.
even after EPSV returned a positive response code, if libcurl failed to
connect to the port number the EPSV response said. Obviously some people are
going through protocol-sensitive firewalls (or similar) that don't understand
EPSV and then they don't allow the second connection unless PASV was
used. This also called for a minor fix of test case 238.
(CURLOPT_FTPPORT) didn't work for ipv6-enabed curls if the IP wasn't a
"native" IP while it works fine for ipv6-disabled builds!
In the process of fixing this, I removed the support for LPRT since I can't
think of many reasons to keep doing it and asking on the mailing list didn't
reveal anyone else that could either. The code that sends EPRT and PORT is
now also a lot simpler than before (IMHO).
given subdirs, libcurl would still "remember" the full path as if it is the
current directory libcurl is in so that the next curl_easy_perform() would
get really confused if it tried the same path again - as it would not issue
any CWD commands at all, assuming it is already in the "proper" dir.
Starting now, a failed CWD command sets a flag that prevents the path to be
"remembered" after returning.
