the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128)
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.
enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me wtih
this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
/etc/hosts file!
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2550061) mentioning that I failed to
properly make sure that the VC9 makefiles got included in the latest
release. I've now fixed the release script and verified it so next release
will hopefully include them properly!
Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.
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.
disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned
into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077
The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).
If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.
Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
on the proper action.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with
quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added
test case 1095 that verifies my fix.
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.
by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
(using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.
When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
to multistate().
How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.
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
I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
library if Curl did the initialization.
It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
generally helpful.
(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.
pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
alreay triggered.
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.
operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
a better fix.
removing easy handles from multi handles when the easy handle is/was within
a HTTP pipeline. His bug report #2351653
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351653) was also related and was
eventually fixed by a patch by Igor himself.
duphandle+curl_mutli" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) showed
that curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection
cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be
used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.
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.
particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit
FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some
FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear
mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.
researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
current MODE and TYPE.
In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite
loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his
patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and
eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!
(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.
function when built to support SCP and SFTP that helps the library to know
in which direction a particular libssh2 operation would return EAGAIN so
that libcurl knows what socket conditions to wait for before trying the
function call again. Previously (and still when using libssh2 0.18 or
earlier), libcurl will busy-loop in this situation when the easy interface
is used!
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.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a
program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a
libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This
happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too
early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the
bug #2107377
The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both
the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar
fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but
unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix!
problem with MSVC 6 makefile that caused a build failure. It was noted that
the curl_addrinfo.obj reference was missing. I took the opportunity to sort
the list in which this was missing.
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.
can be created before resolving the IPv6 name. In the context of running
a test, it doesn't make sense to run an IPv6 test when a host is resolvable
but IPv6 isn't usable. This should fix failures of test 1085 on hosts with
library and DNS support for IPv6 but where actual use of IPv6 has been
administratively disabled.
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.
return code. This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
test to be skipped.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2155496) pointing out an error case
without a proper human-readable error message. When a read callback returns
a too large value (like when trying to return a negative number) it would
trigger and the generic error message then makes the proplem slightly
different to track down. I've added an error message for this now.
systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6
address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
involved a name lookup.
fixed a CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing:
Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing
the process potentially.
Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect
that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.
eventually identified a flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases
missed to call the timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and
added within the same millisecond.
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.
