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.
This test was added after the HTTPS-using-multi-interface with OpenSSL
regression of 7.19.1 to hopefully prevent this embarassing mistake from
appearing again... Unfortunately the bug wasn't triggered by this test, which
presumably is because the connect to a local server is too fast/different
compared to the real/distant servers we saw the bug happen with.
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.
a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
This should fix test case 160. Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
hard to test reliably.
gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system-
provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no
longer depend on the TZ environment variable.

- recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper
CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now
disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.
CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
to HTTP 1.0 upon receiving a response from the HTTP server. Tests 1072
and 1073 are similar to test 1069 in that they involve the impossible
scenario of sending chunked data to a HTTP 1.0 server. All these currently
fail and are added to DISABLED.
Added test 1075 to test --anyauth with Basic authentication.
"Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
"http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html
which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout
being closed. Added test case 1066 to verify. Also fixed a potential
problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload
when more than one URL is given.
was discovered to be problematic while investigating an incident reported by
Von back in May. curl in this case doesn't include a Content-Length: or
Transfer-Encoding: chunked header which is illegal. This test case is
added to DISABLED until a solution is found.
when a server responded with long headers and data. Luckily, the buffer
overflowed into another unused buffer, so no actual harm was done.
Added test cases 1060 and 1061 to verify.
line of a multiline FTP response whose last byte landed exactly at the end
of the BUFSIZE-length buffer would be treated as the terminal response
line. The following response code read in would then actually be the
end of the previous response line, and all responses from then on would
correspond to the wrong command. Test case 1062 verifies this.
Stop closing a never-opened ftp socket.
proved how PUT and POST with a redirect could lead to a "hang" due to the
data stream not being rewound properly when it had to in order to get sent
properly (again) to the subsequent URL. This is now fixed and these test
cases are no longer disabled.
with -C - sent garbage in the Content-Range: header. I fixed this problem by
making sure libcurl always sets the size of the _entire_ upload if an app
attemps to do resumed uploads since libcurl simply cannot know the size of
what is currently at the server end. Test 1041 is no longer disabled.
incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279
(was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
by Ben Sutcliffe. The test when run manually shows a problem in curl,
but the test harness web server doesn't run the test correctly so it's
disabled for now.
fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using
CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but
switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being
cleared properly. Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it
verifies the fix.
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that
libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with
--head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to
verify.
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
verbose mode you use --no-verbose!
- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
or --no-remote-name.
curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently
used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
how the HTTP redirect following code didn't properly follow to a new URL if
the new url was but a query string such as "Location: ?moo=foo". Test case
1031 was added to verify this fix.
when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240).
The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it
would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the
sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second.
Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.
