These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled explicitly. Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2009) - Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2 library is found to support it. Yang Tse (12 Mar 2009) - Added missing Curl_read() return code checking in TELNET transfers. - Pierre Brico found and fixed TELNET transfers not being aborted upon a write callback failure. Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2009) - Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before any other libcurl function. Yang Tse (11 Mar 2009) - Added missing TELNET timeout support for Windows builds. This issue was reported by Pierre Brico. Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009) - Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix: curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the cookie engine switched on. We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I created lib/slist.[ch] for them. - Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4 scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and fix. Daniel Stenberg (8 Mar 2009) - Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked. - Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors, when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and other values indicate error conditions. - Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason. Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2009) - Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to cover more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using applications. Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009) - Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This issue was noticed by Chris Deidun. Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009) - Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported by Daniel Johnson. Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009) - David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections whenever you attempt to open a new connection. 1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections, rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection. 2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same preferences as our current new connection. Version 7.19.4 (3 March 2009) Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009) - David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw (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. Daniel Stenberg (27 Feb 2009) - Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and Markus Koetter provided the fix! Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009) - As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation, but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or elsewhere. Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009) - Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work. It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong. Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009) - After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() for CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown. Yang Tse (23 Feb 2009) - Daniel Johnson provided a shell script that will perform all the steps needed to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009) - I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib' to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion. Yang Tse (20 Feb 2009) - Do not halt compilation when using VS2008 to build a Windows 2000 target. Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2009) - Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not re-used properly. This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses necessary to get read in ftp_done(). Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009) - Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads! We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the "TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the data! Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009) - FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE. Daniel Stenberg (17 Feb 2009) - Kamil Dudka made NSS-powered builds compile and run again! - A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to cleanup properly before returning error. - CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for 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. Daniel Stenberg (14 Feb 2009) - Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a memory leak in the content encoding code, which could happen on libz errors. Daniel Fandrich (12 Feb 2009) - Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS. Daniel Stenberg (11 Feb 2009) - CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if 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) filed by Jocelyn Jaubert. Daniel Fandrich (4 Feb 2009) - Don't add the standard /usr/lib or /usr/include paths to LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS (respectively) when --with-ssl=/usr is used (patch based on FreeBSD). - Added an explicit buffer limit check in msdosify() (patch based on FreeBSD). This couldn't ever overflow in curl, but might if the code were used elsewhere or under different conditions. Daniel Stenberg (3 Feb 2009) - Hidemoto Nakada provided a small fix that makes it possible to get the CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD size from file:// "transfers" with CURLOPT_NOBODY set true. Daniel Stenberg (2 Feb 2009) - Patrick Scott found a rather large memory leak when using the multi 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! - Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP 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. Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009) - When building with c-ares 1.6.1 (not yet released) or later and IPv6 support 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 with this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my /etc/hosts file! Daniel Stenberg (30 Jan 2009) - Scott Cantor filed bug report #2550061 (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! Daniel Fandrich (30 Jan 2009) - Fixed --disable-proxy for FTP and SOCKS. Thanks to Daniel Egger for reporting. Yang Tse (29 Jan 2009) - Introduced curl_sspi.c and curl_sspi.h for the implementation of functions 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. Daniel Stenberg (28 Jan 2009) - Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl: 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. Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2009) - Chad Monroe provided the new CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE option that allows an app to set desired block size to use for TFTP transfers instead of the default 512 bytes. - The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to 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. - Alexey Borzov filed bug report #2535504 (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. - Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option. 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. Daniel Fandrich (20 Jan 2009) - Call setlocale() for libtest tests to test the effects of locale-induced libc changes on libcurl. - Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for 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 1091 through 1094 to test various combinations of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish locale. Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2009) - Lisa Xu pointed out that the ssh.obj file was missing from the lib/Makefile.vc6 file (and thus from the vc8 and vc9 ones too). Version 7.19.3 (19 January 2009) Daniel Stenberg (16 Jan 2009) - Andrew de los Reyes fixed curlbuild.h for "generic" gcc builds on PPC, both 32 bit and 64 bit. Daniel Stenberg (15 Jan 2009) - Tim Ansell fixed a compiler warning in lib/cookie.c Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009) - Grant Erickson fixed timeouts for TFTP such that specifying a connect-timeout, a max-time or both options work correctly and as expected by passing the correct boolean value to Curl_timeleft via the 'duringconnect' parameter. With this small change, curl TFTP now behaves as expected (and likely as originally-designed): 1) For non-existent or unreachable dotted IP addresses: a) With no options, follows the default curl 300s timeout... b) With --connect-timeout only, follows that value... c) With --max-time only, follows that value... d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the smaller value... and times out with a "curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server" error. 2) For transfers to/from a valid host: a) With no options, follows default curl 300s timeout for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s timeout for the remainder of the transfer... b) With --connect-time only, follows that value for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s timeout for the remainder of the transfer... c) With --max-time only, follows that value for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and for the remainder of the transfer... d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the former for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the latter for the remainder of the transfer... and times out with a "curl: (28) Timeout was reached" error as appropriate. Daniel Stenberg (13 Jan 2009) - Michael Wallner fixed a NULL pointer deref when calling curl_easy_setup(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "SESS") on a CURL handle with no cookies data. - Stefan Teleman brought a patch to fix the default curlbuild.h file for the SunPro compilers. Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2009) - Based on bug report #2498665 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665) 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. Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009) - Karl Moerder brought the patch that creates vc9 Makefiles, and I made 'maketgz' now use the actual makefile targets to do the VC8 and VC9 makefiles. Daniel Stenberg (10 Jan 2009) - Emil Romanus fixed: 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. Daniel Fandrich (7 Jan 2009) - Unified much of the SessionHandle initialization done in Curl_open() and 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 Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2009) - Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update: 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. Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2009) - 'reconf' is removed since we rather have users use 'buildconf' Daniel Stenberg (31 Dec 2008) - Bas Mevissen reported http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2479030 pointing out that 'reconf' didn't properly point out the m4 subdirectory when running aclocal. Daniel Stenberg (29 Dec 2008) - Phil Lisiecki filed bug report #2413067 (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. Phil provided his own patch to this problem that while it seemed to work wasn't complete and thus I wrote my own fix to the problem. Daniel Stenberg (28 Dec 2008) - Peter Korsgaard fixed building libcurl with "configure --with-ssl --disable-verbose". - Anthony Bryan fixed more language and spelling flaws in man pages. Daniel Stenberg (22 Dec 2008) - Given a recent enough libssh2, libcurl can now seek/resume with SFTP even on file indexes beyond 2 or 4GB. - Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language, corrected spellings and more. Daniel Stenberg (20 Dec 2008) - Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing 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. Daniel Stenberg (19 Dec 2008) - curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing 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. - Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl 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. Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2008) - SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE' 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. Gisle Vanem (16 Dec 2008) - Added the possibility to use the Watt-32 tcp/ip stack under Windows. The change simply involved adding a USE_WATT32 section in the config-win32.h files (under ./lib and ./src). This section disables the use of any Winsock headers. Daniel Stenberg (16 Dec 2008) - libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers. Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008) - More work with Igor Novoseltsev to first fix the remaining stuff for 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. Yang Tse (12 Dec 2008) - Patrick Monnerat fixed a build regression, introduced in 7.19.2, affecting OS/400 compilations with IPv6 enabled. Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008) - Mark Karpeles filed bug report #2416182 titled "crash in ConnectionExists when using duphandle+curl_mutli" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) which 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. Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008) - Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6 addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long. Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008) - Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and 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. (note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet) Daniel Fandrich (9 Dec 2008) - Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass. - Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs. Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008) - Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any 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. Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2008) - Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when 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. - Christian Krause filed bug #2221237 (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! Daniel Fandrich (3 Dec 2008) - Fixed the getifaddrs version of Curl_if2ip to work on systems without IPv6 support (e.g. Minix) Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008) - Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645 (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. - Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2382219) Daniel Fandrich (25 Nov 2008) - If a HTTP request is Basic and num is already >=1000, the HTTP test server adds 1 to num to get the data section to return. This allows testing authentication negotiations using the Basic authentication method. - Added tests 1087 and 1088 to test Basic authentication on a redirect with and without --location-trusted Daniel Stenberg (24 Nov 2008) - Based on a patch by Vlad Grachov, libcurl now uses a new libssh2 0.19 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! Daniel Fandrich (20 Nov 2008) - Automatically detect OpenBSD's CA cert bundle. Daniel Stenberg (19 Nov 2008) - I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use unless explicitly asked for. - Josef Wolf's extension that allows a $TESTDIR/gdbinit$testnum file that when you use runtests.pl -g, will be sourced by gdb to allow additional fancy or whatever you see fit - Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386) - Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got 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. Daniel Fandrich (17 Nov 2008) - Added more compiler warning options for gcc 4.3 Yang Tse (17 Nov 2008) - Fix a remaining problem in the inet_pton() runtime configure check. And fix internal Curl_inet_pton() failures to reject certain malformed literals. - Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate. Daniel Stenberg (16 Nov 2008) - Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support enabled and FTP disabled. - Added check for NULL returns from strdup() in src/main.c and lib/formdata.c - reported by Jim Meyering also prevent buffer overflow on MSDOS when you do for example -O on a url with a file name part longer than PATH_MAX letters - lib/nss.c fixes based on the report by Jim Meyering: I went over and added checks for return codes for all calls to malloc and strdup that were missing. I also changed a few malloc(13) to use arrays on the stack and a few malloc(PATH_MAX) to instead use aprintf() to lower memory use. - I fixed a memory leak in Curl_nss_connect() when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT is in use. Daniel Fandrich (14 Nov 2008) - Added .xml as one of the few common file extensions known by the multipart form generator. - Added some #ifdefs around header files and change the EAGAIN test to fix compilation on Cell (reported by Jeff Curley). Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008) - Fixed several configure script issues affecting checks for inet_ntoa_r(), inet_ntop(), inet_pton(), getifaddrs(), fcntl() and getaddrinfo(). Yang Tse (13 Nov 2008) - Refactored configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.
