for Windows, that could lead to an Access Violation when the multi interface
was used due to an issue with how the resolver thread was and was not
terminated.
from the command line tool with --ignore-content-length. This will make it
easier to download files from Apache 1.x (and similar) servers that are
still having problems serving files larger than 2 or 4 GB. When this option
is enabled, curl will simply have to wait for the server to close the
connection to signal end of transfer. I wrote test case 269 that runs a
simple test that this works.
that made curl run fine in his end. The key was to make sure we do the
SSL/TLS negotiation immediately after the TCP connect is done and not after
a few other commands have been sent like we did previously. I don't consider
this change necessary to obey the standards, I think this server is pickier
than what the specs allow it to be, but I can't see how this modified
libcurl code can add any problems to those who are interpreting the
standards more liberally.
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE), add a cookie (with CURLOPT_COOKIELIST), tell it to
write the result to a given cookie jar and then never actually call
curl_easy_perform() - the given file(s) to read was never read but the
output file was written and thus it caused a "funny" result.
- While doing some tests for the bug above, I noticed that Firefox generates
large numbers (for the expire time) in the cookies.txt file and libcurl
didn't treat them properly. Now it does.
site responds with bad HTTP response that doesn't contain any header at all,
only a response body, and the write callback returns 0 to abort the
transfer, it didn't have any real effect but the write callback would be
called once more anyway.
zone name of a daylight savings time was used. For example, PDT vs PDS. This
flaw was introduced with the new date parser (11 sep 2004 - 7.12.2).
Fortunately, no web server or cookie string etc should be using such time
zone names thus limiting the effect of this bug.
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.
seems the Windows (MSVC) libc time functions may return data one hour off if
TZ is not set and automatic DST adjustment is enabled. This made
curl_getdate() return wrong value, and it also concerned internal cookie
expirations etc.
fix the CONNECT authentication code with multi-pass auth methods (such as
NTLM) as it didn't previously properly ignore response-bodies - in fact it
stopped reading after all response headers had been received. This could
lead to libcurl sending the next request and reading the body from the first
request as response to the second request. (I also renamed the function,
which wasn't strictly necessary but...)
The best fix would to once and for all make the CONNECT code use the
ordinary request sending/receiving code, treating it as any ordinary request
instead of the special-purpose function we have now. It should make it
better for multi-interface too. And possibly lead to less code...
Added test case 265 for this. It doesn't work as a _really_ good test case
since the test proxy is too stupid, but the test case helps when running the
debugger to verify.
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.
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.
times, like on my HP-UX 10.20 tests. And then lib/strerror.c badly assumed
the glibc version if the posix define wasn't set (since it _had_ found a
strerror_r).
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
.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.
