(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
Storsjo pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
looked like:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
not hit any existing users badly.
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
new behavior:
o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
them in your app if you really want that behavior.
o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
protocols libcurl may have been built to support.
plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
(should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.
Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.
interface and setting CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS to something less than the number
of handles you add to the multi handle. All the connections that didn't fit
in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!
version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.
I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
--proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
these.
They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only
offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy
even if one is specified.
clarity. This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs
to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is
used (test case 561)
Added tests 561 and 1092 through 1094 to test various combinations
of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish
locale.
curl_easy_reset() by creating Curl_init_userdefined(). This had the side effect
of fixing curl_easy_reset() so it now also resets CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD and
CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2413067) that identified a problem that
would cause libcurl to mark a DNS cache entry "in use" eternally if the
subsequence TCP connect failed. It would thus never get pruned and refreshed
as it should've been.
now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
"regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
speed loss.
there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
broken clients.
The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
text to the right of it).
libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
and proxy.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
mysterious ways.
The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
chances of being used for pipelnining.
problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
places and ways previously and they are now unified.
Changed checkprefix() to use it and those instances of strnequal() that
compare host names or other protocol strings that are defined to be
independent of case in the C locale. This should fix a few more
Turkish locale problems.
make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
function in libcurl (called Curl_ascii_equal) for doing case insentive
comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP
address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report
the info from host B.
