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.
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.)
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).
least it should no longer cause a compiler error. However, it does not have
AI_NUMERICHOST so we cannot getaddrinfo() any numerical addresses with it (we
use that for FTP PORT/EPRT)! So, I modified the configure check that checks if
the getaddrinfo() is working, to use AI_NUMERICHOST since then it'll fail on
AIX 4.3 and it will automatically build with IPv6 support disabled.
--trace, --trace-ascii and --verbose output. I also made the '>' display
separate each line on the linefeed so that HTTP requests etc look nicer in the
-v output.
more places. First, CURL_HOME is a new environment variable that is used
instead of HOME if it is set, to point out where the default config file
lives. If there's no config file in the dir pointed out by one of the
environment variables, the Windows version will instead check the same
directory the executable curl is located in.
.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.
also affecting NTLM and Negotiate.) It turned out that if the server responded
with 100 Continue before the initial 401 response, libcurl didn't take care of
the response properly. Test case 245 and 246 added to verify this.
inet_addr() functions seems to use &255 on all numericals in a ipv4 dotted
address which makes a different failure... Now I've modified the ipv4
resolve code to use inet_pton() instead in an attempt to make these systems
better detect this as a bad IP address rather than creating a toally bogus
address that is then passed on and used.
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.
file got a Last-Modified: header written to the data stream, corrupting the
actual data. This was because some conditions from the previous FTP code was
not properly brought into the new FTP code. I fixed and I added test case 520
to verify. (This bug was introduced in 7.13.1)
on the remote side. This then converts the operation to an ordinary STOR
upload. This was requested/pointed out by Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams.
It also proved (and I fixed) a bug in the newly rewritten ftp code (and
present in the 7.13.1 release) when trying to resume an upload and the servers
returns an error to the SIZE command. libcurl then loops and sends SIZE
commands infinitely.
requested data from a host and then followed a redirect to another
host. libcurl then didn't use the proxy-auth properly in the second request,
due to the host-only check for original host name wrongly being extended to
the proxy auth as well. Added test case 233 to verify the flaw and that the
fix removed the problem.
that picks NTLM. Thanks to David Byron letting me test NTLM against his
servers, I could quickly repeat and fix the problem. It turned out to be:
When libcurl POSTs without knowing/using an authentication and it gets back a
list of types from which it picks NTLM, it needs to either continue sending
its data if it keeps the connection alive, or not send the data but close the
connection. Then do the first step in the NTLM auth. libcurl didn't send the
data nor close the connection but simply read the response-body and then sent
the first negotiation step. Which then failed miserably of course. The fixed
version forces a connection if there is more than 2000 bytes left to send.
gets closed just after the request has been sent failed and did not re-issue
a request on a fresh reconnect like the easy interface did. Now it does!
(define CURL_MULTIEASY, run test case 160)
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.
contains %0a or %0d in the user, password or CWD parts. (A future fix would
include doing it for %00 as well - see KNOWN_BUGS for details.) Test case 225
and 226 were added to verify this
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.
using a custom Host: header and curl fails to send a request on a re-used
persistent connection and thus creates a new connection and resends it. It
then sent two Host: headers. Cyrill's analysis was posted here:

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.
