1) findtool does look per tool in PATH and think ./perl is the perl
executable, while is just a local directory (I have . in the PATH)
2) I got several warning for head -1 deprecated in favour of head -n 1
3) ares directory is missing some file (missing is missing :-) ) because
automake and friends is not run.
(Let's hope number 2 doesn't break somewhere "out there", if so we can always
search/replace that back.)
Make UDP sockets non-blocking. I've confirmed that at least on Linux 2.4 a
read event can come back from poll() on a valid SOCK_DGRAM socket but
recv(2) will still block. This patch doesn't ignore EAGAIN in
read_udp_packets(), though maybe it should. (This patch was edited by Daniel
Stenberg and a new configure test was added (imported from curl's configure)
to properly detect what non-blocking socket approach to use.)
I'm not quite sure how this was happening, but I've been seeing PTR queries
which seem to return empty responses. At least, they were empty when calling
ares_expand_name() on the record. Here's a patch which guarantees to
NUL-terminate the expanded name. The old behavior failed to NUL-terminate if
len was 0, and this was causing strlen() to run past the end of the buffer
after calling ares_expand_name() and getting ARES_SUCCESS as the return
value. If q is not greater than *s then it's equal and *s is always
allocated with at least one byte.
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.
binary zeroes within the headers. They confused libcurl to do wrong so the
downloaded headers become incomplete. The fix is now verified with test case
262.
