Changelog
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 November 2004)
|
|
- Andrés García fixed the configure script to detect select properly when run
|
|
with Msys/Mingw on Windows.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 November 2004)
|
|
- Made HTTP PUT and POST requests no longer use HEAD when doing multi-pass
|
|
auth negotiation (NTLM, Digest and Negotiate), but instead use the request
|
|
keyword "properly". Details in lib/README.httpauth. This also introduces
|
|
CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION and CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, to be used by apps that use the
|
|
"any" auth alternative as then libcurl may need to send the PUT/POST data
|
|
more than once and thus may need to ask the app to "rewind" the read data
|
|
stream to start.
|
|
|
|
See also the new example using this: docs/examples/anyauthput.c
|
|
|
|
- David Phillips enhanced test 518. I made it depend on a "feature" so that
|
|
systems without getrlimit() won't attempt to test 518. configure now checks
|
|
for getrlimit() and setrlimit() for this test case.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 November 2004)
|
|
- David Phillips fixed libcurl to not crash anymore when more than FD_SETSIZE
|
|
file descriptors are in use. Test case 518 added to verify.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 November 2004)
|
|
- To test my fix for the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME bug, I added time_redirect and
|
|
num_redirects support to the -w writeout option for the command line tool.
|
|
|
|
- Wojciech Zwiefka found out that CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME didn't work as
|
|
documented.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (12 November 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem modigied the MSVC and Netware makefiles to build without
|
|
libcurl.def
|
|
|
|
- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-crypto-auth option to configure to allow
|
|
libcurl to build without Digest support. (I figure it should also explicitly
|
|
disable Negotiate and NTLM.)
|
|
|
|
- *** Modified Behaviour Alert ***
|
|
|
|
Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL will no longer do a GET.
|
|
|
|
Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" will send a zero byte POST and setting
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to zero will also make
|
|
a zero byte POST. Added test case 515 to verify this.
|
|
|
|
Setting CURLOPT_HTTPPOST to NULL makes a zero byte post. Added test case 516
|
|
to verify this.
|
|
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE must now be set to -1 to signal "we don't know".
|
|
Setting it to zero simply says this is a zero byte POST.
|
|
|
|
When providing POST data with a read callback, setting the size up front
|
|
is now made with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE and not with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 November 2004)
|
|
- Dan Fandrich added --disable-verbose to the configure script to allow builds
|
|
without verbose strings in the code, to save some 12KB space. Makes sense
|
|
only for systems with very little memory resources.
|
|
|
|
- Jeff Phillips found out that a date string with a year beyond 2038 could
|
|
crash the new date parser on systems with 32bit time_t. We now check for
|
|
this case and deal with it.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 November 2004)
|
|
- I installed Heimdal on my Debian box (using the debian package) and noticed
|
|
that configure --with-gssapi failed to create a nice build. Fixed now.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 November 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem marked all external function calls with CURL_EXTERN so that now
|
|
the Windows, Netware and other builds no longer need libcurl.def or similar
|
|
files.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (8 November 2004)
|
|
- Made the configure script check for tld.h if libidn was detected, since
|
|
libidn 0.3.X didn't have such a header and we don't work with anything
|
|
before libidn 0.4.1 anyway! Suse 9.1 apparently ships with a 0.3.X version
|
|
of libidn which makes the curl 7.12.2 build fail. Jean-Philippe
|
|
Barrette-LaPierre helped pointing this out.
|
|
|
|
- Ian Gulliver reported in debian bug report #278691: if curl is invoked in an
|
|
environment where stderr is closed the -v output will still be sent to file
|
|
descriptor 2 which then might be the network socket handle! Now we have a
|
|
weird hack instead that attempts to make sure that file descriptor 2 is
|
|
opened (with a call to pipe()) before libcurl is called to do the transfer.
|
|
configure now checks for pipe() and systems without pipe don't get the weird
|
|
hack done.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (5 November 2004)
|
|
- Tim Sneddon made libcurl send no more than 64K in a single first chunk when
|
|
doing a huge POST on VMS, as this is a system limitation. Default on general
|
|
systems is 100K.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 November 2004)
|
|
- Andres Garcia made it build on mingw againa, my --retry code broke the build.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 November 2004)
|
|
- Added --retry-max-time that allows a maximum time that may not have been
|
|
reached for a retry to be made. If not set there is no maximum time, only
|
|
the amount of retries set with --retry.
|
|
|
|
- Paul Nolan provided a patch to make libcurl build nicely on Windows CE.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 November 2004)
|
|
- When cross-compiling, the configure script no longer attempts to use
|
|
pkg-config on the build host in order to detect OpenSSL compiler options.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 October 2004)
|
|
- Dan Fandrich:
|
|
|
|
An improvement to the gzip handling of libcurl. There were two problems with
|
|
the old version: it was possible for a malicious gzip file to cause libcurl
|
|
to leak memory, as a buffer was malloced to hold the header and never freed
|
|
if the header ended with no file contents. The second problem is that the
|
|
64 KiB decompression buffer was allocated on the stack, which caused
|
|
unexpectedly high stack usage and overflowed the stack on some systems
|
|
(someone complained about that in the mailing list about a year ago).
|
|
|
|
Both problems are fixed by this patch. The first one is fixed when a recent
|
|
(1.2) version of zlib is used, as it takes care of gzip header parsing
|
|
itself. A check for the version number is done at run-time and libcurl uses
|
|
that feature if it's present. I've created a define OLD_ZLIB_SUPPORT that
|
|
can be commented out to save some code space if libcurl is guaranteed to be
|
|
using a 1.2 version of zlib.
|
|
|
|
The second problem is solved by dynamically allocating the memory buffer
|
|
instead of storing it on the stack. The allocation/free is done for every
|
|
incoming packet, which is suboptimal, but should be dwarfed by the actual
|
|
decompression computation.
|
|
|
|
I've also factored out some common code between deflate and gzip to reduce
|
|
the code footprint somewhat. I've tested the gzip code on a few test files
|
|
and I tried deflate using the freshmeat.net server, and it all looks OK. I
|
|
didn't try running it with valgrind, however.
|
|
|
|
- Added a --retry option to curl that takes a numerical option for the number
|
|
of times the operation should be retried. It is retried if a transient error
|
|
is detected or if a timeout occurred. By default, it will first wait one
|
|
second between the retries and then double the delay time between each retry
|
|
until the delay time is ten minutes which then will be the delay time
|
|
between all forthcoming retries. You can set a static delay time with
|
|
"--retry-delay [num]" where [num] is the number of seconds to wait between
|
|
each retry.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 October 2004)
|
|
- Tomas Pospisek filed bug report #1053287 that proved -C - and --fail on a
|
|
file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it
|
|
doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix.
|
|
Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in
|
|
libcurl v8 due to all the kludges needed to support it.
|
|
|
|
- Mohun Biswas found out that formposting a zero-byte file didn't work very
|
|
good. I fixed.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 October 2004)
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made it possible to make FTP 3rd party transfers
|
|
with both source and destination being the same host. It can be useful if
|
|
you want to move a file on a server or similar.
|
|
|
|
- Guillaume Arluison added CURLINFO_NUM_CONNECTS to allow an app to figure
|
|
out how many new connects a previous transfer required.
|
|
|
|
I added %{num_connects} to the curl tool and added test case 192 and 193
|
|
to verify the new code.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 October 2004)
|
|
- Peter Wullinger pointed out that curl should call setlocale() properly to
|
|
initiate the specific language operations, to make the IDN stuff work
|
|
better.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.12.2 (18 October 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 October 2004)
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option work
|
|
fine even for third party transfers.
|
|
|
|
- runekl at opoint.com found out (and provided a fix) that libcurl leaked
|
|
memory for cookies with the "max-age" field set.
|
|
|
|
Gisle (16 October 2004)
|
|
- Issue 50 in TODO-RELEASE; Added Traian Nicolescu's patches for threaded
|
|
resolver on Windows. Plugged some potential handle and memory leaks.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 October 2004)
|
|
- Eric Vergnaud pointed out that libcurl didn't treat ?-letters in the user
|
|
name and password fields properly in URLs, like
|
|
ftp://us?er:pass?word@site.com/. Added test 191 to verify the fix.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 October 2004)
|
|
- libcurl now uses SO_NOSIGPIPE for systems that support it (Mac OS X 10.2 or
|
|
later is one) to inhibit the SIGPIPE signal when writing to a socket while
|
|
the peer dies. The same effect is provide by the MSG_NOSIGNAL parameter to
|
|
send() on other systems. Alan Pinstein verified the fix.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 October 2004)
|
|
- Systems with 64bit longs no longer use strtoll() or our strtoll- replacement
|
|
to parse 64 bit numbers. strtol() works fine. Added a configure check to
|
|
detect if [constant]LL works and if so, use that in the strtoll replacement
|
|
code to work around compiler warnings reported by Andy Cedilnik.
|
|
|
|
Gisle (6 October 2004)
|
|
- For USE_LIBIDN builds: Added Top-Level-Domain (TLD) check of host-name
|
|
used in fix_hostname(). Checks if characters in 'host->name' (indirectly
|
|
via 'ace_hostname') are legal according to the TLD tables in libidn.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (6 October 2004)
|
|
- Chih-Chung Chang reported that if you use CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM and enabled
|
|
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, libcurl reported error if a redirect happened even
|
|
if the new URL would provide the resumed file. Test case 188 added to verify
|
|
the fix (together with existing test 99).
|
|
|
|
- Dan Fandrich fixed a configure flaw for systems that need both nsl and socket
|
|
libs to use gethostbyname().
|
|
|
|
- Removed tabs and trailing whitespace from lots of source files.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (5 October 2004)
|
|
- Made configure --with-libidn=PATH try the given PATH before the default
|
|
paths to make it possible to override.
|
|
|
|
- If idna_strerror() is present in libidn, we can use that instead of our
|
|
internal replacement. This function was added by Simon in libidn 0.5.6 and
|
|
is detected by configure.
|
|
|
|
- It seems basename() on IRIX is in the libgen library and since we don't use
|
|
that, configure finds libgen.h but not basename and then we get a compiler
|
|
error because our basename() replacement doesn't match the proto in
|
|
libgen.h. Starting now, we don't include the file if basename wasn't found
|
|
as well.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 October 2004)
|
|
- Chris found a race condition resulting in CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST and
|
|
potential crash, in the windows threaded name resolver code.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (3 October 2004)
|
|
- Replaced the use of isspace() in cookie.c with our own version instead since
|
|
we have most data as 'char *' and that makes us pass in negative values if
|
|
there is 8bit data in the string. Changing to unsigned causes too much
|
|
warnings or too many required typecasts to the normal string functions.
|
|
Harshal Pradhan identified this problem.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 October 2004)
|
|
- Bertrand Demiddelaer found a case where libcurl could read already freed
|
|
data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very) persistent connection. It
|
|
happened when the dns cache entry for the connection was pruned while the
|
|
connection was still alive and then again re-used. We worked together on
|
|
this fix.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem provided code that displays an error message when the (libidn
|
|
based) IDN conversion fails. This is really due to a missing suitable
|
|
function in the libidn API that I hope we can remove once libidn gets a
|
|
function like this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 October 2004)
|
|
- Aleksandar Milivojevic reported a problem in the Redhat bugzilla (see
|
|
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134133) and not to
|
|
anyone involved in the curl project! This happens when you try to curl a
|
|
file from a proftpd site using SSL. It seems proftpd sends a somewhat
|
|
unorthodox response code (232 instead of 230). I relaxed the response code
|
|
check to deal with this and similar cases.
|
|
|
|
- Based on Fedor Karpelevitch's formpost path basename patch, file parts in
|
|
formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you
|
|
must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME.
|
|
|
|
Added detection for libgen.h and basename() to configure. My custom
|
|
basename() replacement function for systems without it, might be a bit too
|
|
naive...
|
|
|
|
Updated 6 test cases to make them work with the stripped paths.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 September 2004)
|
|
- Larry Campbell added CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to curl_easy_getinfo() that allows an
|
|
app to retrieve the errno variable after a (connect) failure. It will make
|
|
sense to provide this for more failures in a more generic way, but let's
|
|
start like this.
|
|
|
|
- Günter Knauf and Casey O'Donnell worked out an extra #if condition for the
|
|
curl/multi.h header to work better in winsock-using apps.
|
|
|
|
- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre made buildconf run better on Mac OS X by
|
|
properly using glibtoolize instead of plain libtoolize. (This is made if
|
|
glibtool was found and used instead of plain libtool.)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (29 September 2004)
|
|
- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed curl_easy_reset() so that it doesn't mistakingly
|
|
enable the progress meter.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (28 September 2004)
|
|
- "Mekonikum" found out that if you built curl without SSL support, although
|
|
your current SSL installation supports Engine, the compile fails.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 September 2004)
|
|
- When --with-ssl=PATH is used to the configure script, it no longer uses
|
|
pkg-config to figure out extra details. That is now only done if no PATH is
|
|
included or if SSL is checked for by default without the --with-ssl option.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 September 2004)
|
|
- Peter Sylvester pointed out that CURLOPT_SSLENGINE couldn't even be set to
|
|
NULL when no engine was supported. It can now.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 September 2004)
|
|
- Dan Fandrich fixed three test cases to no longer use "localhost" but instead
|
|
use "127.0.0.1" to avoid requiring that localhost resolves nicely.
|
|
|
|
- Jean-Claude Chauve fixed an LDAP crash when more than one record was
|
|
retrieved.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 September 2004)
|
|
- Andreas Rieke pointed out that when attempting to connect to a host without
|
|
a service on the specified port, curl_easy_perform() didn't properly provide
|
|
an error message in the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER buffer.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 September 2004)
|
|
- Daniel at touchtunes uses the FTP+SSL server "BSDFTPD-SSL from
|
|
http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/" which accordingly doesn't properly work with curl
|
|
when "AUTH SSL" is issued (although the server responds fine and everything)
|
|
but requires that curl issues "AUTH TLS" instead. See
|
|
http://curl.haxx.se/feedback/display.cgi?id=10951944937603&support=yes
|
|
|
|
Introducing CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH that allows the application to select which
|
|
of the AUTH strings to attempt first.
|
|
|
|
- Anonymous filed bug report #1029478 which identified a bug when you 1) used
|
|
a URL without properly seperating the host name and the parameters with a
|
|
slash. 2) the URL had parameters to the right of a ? that contains a slash
|
|
3) curl was told to follow Location:s 4) the request got a response that
|
|
contained a Location: to redirect to "/dir". curl then appended the new path
|
|
on the wrong position of the original URL.
|
|
|
|
Test case 187 was added to verify that this was fixed properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 September 2004)
|
|
- Added parsedate.c that contains a rewrite of the date parser currently
|
|
provided by getdate.y. The new one is MUCH smaller and will allow us to run
|
|
away from the yacc/bison jungle. It is also slightly lacking in features
|
|
compared to the old one, but it supports parsing of all date formats HTTP
|
|
involves (and a fair bunch of others).
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 September 2004)
|
|
- As found out by Jonas Forsman, curl didn't allow -F to set Content-Type on
|
|
text-parts. Starting now, we can do -F "name=daniel;type=text/extra". Added
|
|
test case 186 to verify.
|
|
|
|
- Bug report #1025986. When following a Location: with a custom Host: header
|
|
replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request
|
|
and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with
|
|
two Host: headers.
|
|
|
|
Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request
|
|
and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another
|
|
host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the
|
|
second Host: header get used in the request.
|
|
|
|
This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (8 September 2004)
|
|
- Modified the test suite to be able to use and run with customized port
|
|
numbers. This was always intended but never before possible. Now a simple
|
|
change in the runtests.pl script can make all tests use different ports.
|
|
The default ports in use from now on are 8990 to 8993.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 September 2004)
|
|
- Minor modification of an SSL-related error message.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (31 August 2004)
|
|
- David Tarendash found out that curl_multi_add_handle() returned
|
|
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM instead of CURLM_OK.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 August 2004)
|
|
- Make "Proxy-Connection: close" close the current proxy connection, as Roman
|
|
Koifman found out.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 August 2004)
|
|
- Fixed a getdate problem by post-replacing the getdate.c file after the
|
|
bison/yacc process to add the fix Harshal Pradhan suggested. The problem
|
|
caused a crash on Windows when parsing some dates.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (23 August 2004)
|
|
- Roman Koifman pointed out that libcurl send Expect: 100-continue on POSTs
|
|
even when told to use HTTP 1.0, which is not correct. Test case 180 and
|
|
181 verify this.
|
|
|
|
- Added test case 182 to verify that zero byte transfers call the callback
|
|
properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (20 August 2004)
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the write callback get called even when a zero
|
|
byte file is downloaded.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 August 2004)
|
|
- Ling Thio pointed out that when libcurl is built ipv6-enabled, it still did
|
|
reverse DNS lookups when fed with a numerical IP-address (like
|
|
http://127.0.0.1/), although it doesn't when built ipv6-disabled. libcurl
|
|
should never do reverse lookups.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (17 August 2004)
|
|
- Kjetil Jacobsen noticed that when transferring a file:// URL pointing to an
|
|
empty file, libcurl would return with the file still open.
|
|
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out that the configure script needs to define
|
|
_THREAD_SAFE for AIX systems to make libcurl built really thread-safe.
|
|
|
|
Also added a check for the xlc compiler on AIX, and if that is detect we use
|
|
the -qthreaded compiler option
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 August 2004)
|
|
- libcurl now allows a custom "Accept-Encoding:" header override the
|
|
internally set one that gets set with CURLOPT_ENCODING. Pointed out by Alex.
|
|
|
|
- Roland Krikava found and fixed a cookie problem when using a proxy (the
|
|
path matching was wrong). I added test case 179 to verify that we now do
|
|
right.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 August 2004)
|
|
- Casey O'Donnell fixed some MSVC makefile targets to link properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 August 2004)
|
|
- configure now defines _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 on systems that need it to build
|
|
warning-free (the only known one so far is non-gcc builds on 64bit SGI
|
|
IRIX). (Reverted this change later as it caused compiler errors.)
|
|
|
|
- the FTP code now includes the server response in the error message when the
|
|
server gives back a 530 after the password is provided, as it isn't
|
|
necessary because of a bad user name or password.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.12.1 (10 August 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 August 2004)
|
|
- In OpenSSL 0.9.7d and earlier, ASN1_STRING_to_UTF8 fails if the input is
|
|
already UTF-8 encoded. This made the certificate verification fail if the
|
|
remote server used a certificate with the name UTF-8 encoded.
|
|
|
|
Work-around brought by Alexis S. L. Carvalho.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 August 2004)
|
|
- I fixed the configure script for krb4 to use -lcom_err as well, as I started
|
|
to get link problems with it unless I did that on my Solaris 2.7 box. I
|
|
don't understand why I started to get problems with this now!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (5 August 2004)
|
|
- Enrico Scholz fixed the HTTP-Negotiate service name to be uppercase as
|
|
reported in bug report #1004105
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 August 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem provided a fix for the multi interface and connecting to a host
|
|
using multiple IP (bad) addresses.
|
|
|
|
- Dylan Salisbury made libcurl no longer accept cookies set to a TLD only (it
|
|
previously allowed that on the seven three-letter domains).
|
|
|
|
Daniel (31 July 2004)
|
|
- Joel Chen reported that the digest code assumed quotes around the contents a
|
|
bit too much.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (28 July 2004)
|
|
- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed the host name to get setup properly even when a
|
|
connection is re-used, when a proxy is in use. Previously the wrong Host:
|
|
header could get sent when re-using a proxy connection to a different target
|
|
host.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed Brian Akins' reported problems with duplicate Host: headers on re-used
|
|
connections. If you attempted to replace the Host: header in the second
|
|
request, you got two such headers!
|
|
|
|
- src/Makefile.am now includes the Makefile.inc file to get info about files
|
|
|
|
Daniel (26 July 2004)
|
|
- Made "curl [URL] -o name#2" work as expected. If there's no globbing for the
|
|
#-number, it will simply be used as #2 in the file name.
|
|
|
|
- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed testing with valgrind 2.1.x and added two missing
|
|
newlines in the cookie informationals.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 July 2004)
|
|
- I fixed the autobuilds with ares, since they now need to have buildconf run
|
|
in the ares dir before the configure script is run.
|
|
|
|
- Added Casey O'Donnell's curl_easy_reset() function. It has a proto in
|
|
curl/curl.h but we have no man page yet.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (20 July 2004)
|
|
- Added buildconf and buildconf.bat to the release archives, since they are
|
|
handy for rebuilding curl when using a daily snapshot (and not a pure CVS
|
|
checkout).
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 July 2004)
|
|
- As suggested by Toby Peterson, libcurl now ignores Content-Length data if the
|
|
given size is a negative number. Test case 178 verifies this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 July 2004)
|
|
- Günter Knauf has made the Netware builds do without the config-netware.h
|
|
files, so they are now removed from the dist packages.
|
|
|
|
- Günter Knauf made curl and libcurl build with Borland again.
|
|
|
|
- Andres Garcia fixed the common test 505 failures on windows.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (6 July 2004)
|
|
- Andrés García found out why the windows tests failed on file:// "uploads".
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 July 2004)
|
|
- Andrés García reported a curl_share_cleanup() crash that occurs when no
|
|
lock/unlock callbacks have been set and the share is cleaned up.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 July 2004)
|
|
- When using curl --trace or --trace-ascii, no trace messages that were sent
|
|
by curl_easy_cleanup() were included in the trace file. This made the
|
|
message "Closing connection #0" never appear in trace dumps.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 June 2004)
|
|
- Niels van Tongeren found that setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE doesn't disable
|
|
a previously set POST request, making a very odd request get sent (unless
|
|
you disabled the POST) a HEAD request with a POST request-body. I've now
|
|
made CURLOPT_NOBODY enforce a proper HEAD. Added test case 514 for this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (29 June 2004)
|
|
- Günter Knauf made the testcurl.pl script capable of using a custom setup
|
|
file to easier run multiple autobuilds on the same source tree.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle fixed the djgpp build and fixed a memory problem in some of the
|
|
reorged name resolved code.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed code to allow connects done using the multi interface to attempt the
|
|
next IP when connecting to a host that resolves to multiple IPs and a
|
|
connect attempt fails.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 June 2004)
|
|
- Based on Rob Stanzel's bug report #979480, I wrote a configure check that
|
|
checks if poll() can be used to wait on NULL as otherwise select() should be
|
|
used to do it. The select() usage was also fixed according to his report.
|
|
|
|
Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an
|
|
emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is
|
|
recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over
|
|
poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead
|
|
of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not
|
|
implemented in the kernel."
|
|
|
|
Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to
|
|
leave the code unaltered.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 June 2004)
|
|
- The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about
|
|
involved libraries and not about particular features. Thus it will no longer
|
|
include info about ipv6 nor GSS. That info is of course still available in
|
|
the feature bitmask curl_version_info() offers.
|
|
|
|
- Replaced all occurances of sprintf() with snprintf(). This is mostly because
|
|
it is "A Good Thing" rather than actually fixing any known problem. This
|
|
will help preventing future possible mistakes to cause buffer overflows.
|
|
|
|
- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've
|
|
modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs
|
|
to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that
|
|
is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that
|
|
uses or depends on resolved data.
|
|
|
|
Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird
|
|
"increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on
|
|
ipv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built
|
|
with ipv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an ipv4
|
|
address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create
|
|
Curl_addrinfo chains instead).
|
|
|
|
The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai()
|
|
and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to
|
|
work for libcurl.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 June 2004)
|
|
- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to
|
|
contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit
|
|
to 4999 now and made the used buffer get malloc()ed instead of simply
|
|
allocated on stack as before. Extended test case 46 to include a cookie with
|
|
very huge content to verify the fix.
|
|
|
|
- Günter Knauf fixed getdate.y to remove a few warnings. I removed the
|
|
ifdef'ed test we never ever use anyway.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem fixed the certificate wildcard checks to support a '*'-letter
|
|
anywhere in the wildcard string, support multiple '*'-letters in the
|
|
wildcard and to allow the '*'-letter to match a string that includes a dot.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 June 2004)
|
|
- testcurl.sh is now removed completely, tests/testcurl.pl is the script to
|
|
use when autobuilding curl!
|
|
|
|
- Kjetil Jacobsen brought my attention to the fact that you cannot properly
|
|
abort an upload with the readfunction callback, since returning 0 or -1 only
|
|
stops the upload and libcurl will continue waiting for downloaded data and
|
|
the server often waits for the rest of the upload data to arrive.
|
|
|
|
Thus, I've now added the ability for read callbacks to return
|
|
CURL_READFUNC_ABORT to abort an upload from a read callback. This will stop
|
|
the transfer immediately with a CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK return code.
|
|
|
|
Test case 513 was added to verify that it works. I had to improve the test
|
|
HTTP server too to dump the request to a file even when the client
|
|
disconnects prematurely.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 June 2004)
|
|
- Luca Alteas provided a test case with a failing curl operation: when we POST
|
|
to a site with --digest (or similar) set, and the server responded with a 302
|
|
Location: to the "authprobe" request, it was not treated correctly. We still
|
|
will behave badly if FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled for this case, but I'm not
|
|
in the mood to dive into this right now and will leave it as-is for now.
|
|
Verified my fix with test case 177.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 June 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem's patch that provides more details from the SSL layers (if you
|
|
use an OpenSSL version that supports it). It also introduces two new types
|
|
of data that can be sent to the debug callback: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and
|
|
CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT.
|
|
|
|
- With David Byron's test server I could repeat his problem and make sure that
|
|
POSTing over HTTPS:// with NTLM works fine now. There was a general problem
|
|
with multi-pass authentication with non-GET operations with CONNECT.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 June 2004)
|
|
- Modified to keep the upload byte counter in an curl_off_t, not an int as
|
|
before. 32bits is not enough. This is most likely the bug Jean-Louis Lemaire
|
|
reported that makes 2GB FTP uploads to report error ("unaligned file sizes")
|
|
when completed.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 June 2004)
|
|
- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with
|
|
CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication,
|
|
libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was
|
|
actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174,
|
|
175 and 176 to verify this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 June 2004)
|
|
- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves
|
|
into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is
|
|
larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on
|
|
stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the
|
|
upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the
|
|
behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know
|
|
the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on
|
|
HTTP 1.1 servers.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (13 June 2004)
|
|
- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts
|
|
of the check wrongly was case sensitive.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 June 2004)
|
|
- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS
|
|
machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able
|
|
to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 June 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect
|
|
timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to
|
|
multiple IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the
|
|
path after a file:// transfer.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 June 2004)
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl
|
|
without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case
|
|
libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED.
|
|
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated
|
|
curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib
|
|
file generated as it used to do before we generated this file.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (8 June 2004)
|
|
- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (7 June 2004)
|
|
- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work.
|
|
Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 June 2004)
|
|
- Günter Knauf brought patches to make curl build fine on NetWare again.
|
|
|
|
- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script
|
|
when built for cross-compiling.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (3 June 2004)
|
|
- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even
|
|
if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message
|
|
instead, saying it isn't possible to do.
|
|
|
|
- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl.
|
|
You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using
|
|
FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with:
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT
|
|
CURLOPT_PASV_HOST
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE
|
|
CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE
|
|
|
|
(They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man
|
|
page.)
|
|
|
|
When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you
|
|
specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a
|
|
new example source code showing how to use this.
|
|
|
|
- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and
|
|
password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host
|
|
user name and password!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 June 2004)
|
|
- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which
|
|
fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the
|
|
differences are.
|
|
|
|
- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32
|
|
|
|
Version 7.12.0 (2 June 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 June 2004)
|
|
- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page.
|
|
|
|
- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page.
|
|
|
|
- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile
|
|
changes to now again use the mm lib by default.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (26 May 2004)
|
|
- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl
|
|
Makefile
|
|
|
|
- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT,
|
|
like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I
|
|
rewrote the auth stuff recently.
|
|
|
|
- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a
|
|
file:// URL is made.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 May 2004)
|
|
- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 May 2004)
|
|
- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were
|
|
added to verify.
|
|
|
|
- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to
|
|
Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn
|
|
0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do.
|
|
|
|
- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could
|
|
not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 May 2004)
|
|
- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that
|
|
were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed
|
|
and test case 171 verifies it.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (20 May 2004)
|
|
- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was
|
|
wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 May 2004)
|
|
- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of
|
|
curl.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (17 May 2004)
|
|
- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate
|
|
name verification:
|
|
o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name
|
|
needs to be selected.
|
|
o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1
|
|
encoded T61strings.
|
|
|
|
- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is
|
|
now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments).
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 May 2004)
|
|
- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through
|
|
with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness!
|
|
|
|
- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've
|
|
decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the
|
|
CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (13 May 2004)
|
|
- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case
|
|
100 fails because of an FTP server problem.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (12 May 2004)
|
|
- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory
|
|
function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test
|
|
cases.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 May 2004)
|
|
- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() -
|
|
like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory
|
|
functions with its own set. I modified it slightly.
|
|
|
|
- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 May 2004)
|
|
- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a
|
|
separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the
|
|
same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this
|
|
will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon
|
|
releases one with such a libidn_free() function.
|
|
|
|
- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I
|
|
edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked...
|
|
|
|
- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to
|
|
recognize our own running HTTP server.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (7 May 2004)
|
|
- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to
|
|
free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display-
|
|
name instead of the internally-used name.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem tried curl with
|
|
www.etdomenenavnkanmaksimaltinneholdesekstitrebokstaversliksomdette.com
|
|
which caused problems, and I fixed the single zero byte buffer overwrite
|
|
that occurred (due to a stupid protocol buffer size and parser).
|
|
|
|
- Made the lib/curllib.dsp file get generated automaticly when a distribution
|
|
package is made, with the msvcproj.* files as templates and all
|
|
win32-sources added. I think this can be made to work better than the always
|
|
lagging-behind previous approach. I'm not sure this builds a working project
|
|
file right now though!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (6 May 2004)
|
|
- Michael Benedict brought a fix that fills in the errorbuffer properly when
|
|
ares fails to resolve a name for a case not previously dealt with like this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (5 May 2004)
|
|
- Joe Halpin fixed the annoying typecast warning in lib/ldap.c
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem fixes:
|
|
o memdebug to not access NULL on several places
|
|
o libcurl.def; curl_formparse is gone.
|
|
o progress.c; fixed the percent values being trunced to 0.
|
|
o if2ip.*; constified the 'interface' argument.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen reported that many of his autobuilds froze and I found and fixed
|
|
a problem introduced with the HTTP auth overhaul that could lead to a
|
|
never-ending internal request-loop due to un-initialized variables!
|
|
|
|
- Removed several compiler warnings on various compilers/platforms.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 May 2004)
|
|
- curl_formparse() has been removed from the library. It has been marked and
|
|
mentioned as deprecated for several years.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (3 May 2004)
|
|
- Rewritten HTTP authentication code. The previous code could not properly
|
|
deal with the added test cases 167, 168 and 169. I've now rewritten the code
|
|
to better separate host and proxy authentication and not re-use the same
|
|
variables as much as before as it proved non working in the more involved
|
|
cases. All the current tests run OK now, and so do the new ones. The curl
|
|
tool got a new option named --proxy-digest to enable HTTP Digest
|
|
authentication with the proxy. I also made the library support it.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made the LDAP code work with wldap32.dll as supplied with
|
|
Win-98/ME/2000/XP, so no extra .dlls are required when curl/libcurl is used
|
|
on these Windows versions.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 April 2004)
|
|
- runtests.pl now scans the valgrind log for valgrind-detected memory leaks
|
|
after each test case if valgrind was found and used.
|
|
|
|
- I modified the app-code in curl to include the new lib/curlx.h and only
|
|
access those functions using the curlx_-prefix in preparation for the future
|
|
removal of several curl_-functions from the public libcurl API.
|
|
|
|
- Introduced lib/curlx.h as a single header to provide the curlx_-functions
|
|
to apps.
|
|
|
|
- Added notices in the man pages for curl_getenv, curl_mprintf, curl_strequal
|
|
and curl_strnequal that they are subject for removal in a future release.
|
|
STOP USING THESE FUNCTIONS.
|
|
|
|
- Mihai Ionescu noticed he couldn't do formposts with whitespace in the file
|
|
names and yes, I broke that on April 23. Sigh. I fixed it now and added
|
|
test case 166 to verify it.
|
|
|
|
- Luca Altea pointed out a mistake left from the Digest patch of yesterday.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (29 April 2004)
|
|
- Made IDN domains work when sending requsts over HTTP proxy as well. Added
|
|
test case 165 to verify the functionality.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a bug in the new internal host name setup when re-using connections.
|
|
|
|
- James Bursa found out that curl_easy_duphandle() with ares-built libcurl
|
|
created a bad handle that would crash in the first name resolve attempt. This
|
|
is now fixed and test case 512 was added to verify it.
|
|
|
|
- Luca Altea provided a major HTTP Digest code fix and cleanup. We now follow
|
|
the Digest RFC a lot better.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made the SSL code use ERR_error_string_n() where applicable.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 April 2004)
|
|
- I remodeled Gisle's IDN code slightly and now we convert both the host name
|
|
and proxy name to the ACE encoded version to use internally for resolves and
|
|
cookies etc. They are now using one 'struct hostname' each that keep both
|
|
the original name and the possibly encoded name. IDN resolves work for me
|
|
now using ipv6, ipv4 and ares resolving. Even cookies on IDN sites seem to
|
|
do right. I got some failures at first when CHARSET wasn't set at all which
|
|
confused libidn completely and it decided by encoding of choice was
|
|
'ANSI_X3.4-1968'...
|
|
|
|
- made 'configure --without-libidn' work
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 April 2004)
|
|
- Fixed the src/hugehelp.c file to include "setup.h" instead of "config.h" to
|
|
make the problems with USE_MANUAL on windows go away.
|
|
|
|
- configure --without-ssl could still wrongly include some OpenSSL info in the
|
|
Makefiles if pkg-config had info about OpenSSL. Bug #941762 reported by
|
|
Martin.
|
|
|
|
- Since we can now build and use quite a large set of 3rd party libraries, I
|
|
decided I would make configure produce a summary at the end showing what
|
|
libraries it uses and if not, what option to use to make it use that. I also
|
|
added some other random info that is nice in a "configure summary" output.
|
|
|
|
- Applied TommyTam's patch that now make curl work with telnet and stdin
|
|
properly on Windows.
|
|
|
|
- The changes for today below were made by me and Gisle Vanem.
|
|
|
|
The file previously known as hostip.c has now undergone a huge cleanup and
|
|
split:
|
|
|
|
hostip.c explained
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the host*.c
|
|
source file are these:
|
|
|
|
CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
|
|
that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
|
|
take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous
|
|
name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as
|
|
c-ares has no ipv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix.
|
|
|
|
CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
|
|
Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
|
|
supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.
|
|
|
|
If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
|
|
libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
The host*.c sources files are split up like this:
|
|
|
|
hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
|
|
hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
|
|
hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
|
|
hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
|
|
hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
|
|
hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions
|
|
hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions
|
|
|
|
The hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines the
|
|
CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and setup.h defines.
|
|
|
|
- Added function header comments to many functions in an attempt to better
|
|
explain the purpose of them all.
|
|
|
|
- configure --with-libidn is now supported. It makes the configure script
|
|
check for libidn libs and include files in the prefix path given. If you
|
|
say --with-libidn=/usr/local, it will check for the lib in /usr/local/lib
|
|
and the includes in /usr/local/include etc.
|
|
|
|
- curl_version_info() now returns a struct aged CURLVERSION_THIRD including
|
|
libidn version info. The string curl_version() returns also includes libidn
|
|
version info, if available.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.11.2 (26 April 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 April 2004)
|
|
- Erwin Authried pointed out that configure --disable-manual didn't do right
|
|
if you already had a src/hugehelp.c source file present (which most people
|
|
do I guess). It now uses the USE_MANUAL define properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (23 April 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem found and fixed a memory leak when doing (failing) Windows
|
|
threaded name resolves.
|
|
|
|
- I also added test case 163 just to make sure -F "var=<file" works fine and
|
|
can pass on characters such as newlines, carriage-return and tabs.
|
|
|
|
- When we added test case 162 without adding the necessary requirement field
|
|
in the test meta data we could see that curl didn't complain if you used
|
|
--proxy-ntlm even if the underlying libcurl it uses has no NTLM support! I
|
|
now made it check this first, and it now exists with a "the installed
|
|
libcurl version doesn't support this" message if it happens again.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 April 2004)
|
|
- David Byron found and fixed a small bug with the --fail and authentication
|
|
stuff added a few weeks ago. Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and
|
|
communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy
|
|
properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it
|
|
should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 added to
|
|
verify the functionality.
|
|
|
|
- allow newlines in the contents when doing -F "var=[contents]"
|
|
Robert Marlow reported.
|
|
|
|
- If a transfer is found out to be only partial, libcurl will now treat that
|
|
as a problem serious enough to skip the final QUIT command before closing
|
|
the control connection. To avoid the risk that it will "hang" waiting for
|
|
the QUIT response. Added test case 161 to verify this.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 April 2004)
|
|
- Modified the heuristics for dealing with the test 160 scenario. When a
|
|
connection is re-used and nothing at all is received from it (because the
|
|
server closes the connection), we will now retry the request on a fresh new
|
|
connection. The previous ECONNRESET stuff from January 30 was removed again
|
|
as it didn't detect the situation good enough.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (20 April 2004)
|
|
- Added test case 160 to verify that curl works correctly when it gets a
|
|
connection reset when trying to re-use a connection. It should then simply
|
|
create a new connection and resend the request.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 April 2004)
|
|
- No more 512 byte limit for host name (inclusing name + password) in libcurl.
|
|
An added bonus is that we use less memory for the typical (shorter URL)
|
|
case.
|
|
|
|
- Cleaned up the sources to better use the terms 'hostname' and 'path'
|
|
internally when referring to that data. The buffers used for keep that info
|
|
is called 'namebuffer' and 'pathbuffer'. Much easier to read and understand
|
|
than the previous mess.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 April 2004)
|
|
- Modified runtests.pl again to remove all log files in the log/ dir between
|
|
each test, and then made -p display all non-zero byte files in the log dir.
|
|
It should make that data more usable and contain less rubbish.
|
|
|
|
- ftpserver.pl now produces log files more similar to how the sws ones look
|
|
and they now also contains a bit more details to help debugging ftp
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the fixed maximum amount of dir levels the FTP code supported.
|
|
Previously we had a fixed array for 100 levels, now we save space in each
|
|
handle by allocating only for a few level by default and then enlarging that
|
|
in case of need (with no maximum depth). Adjusted test case 142 to verify
|
|
that 150 dir levels work fine. An added bonus is that we use less memory
|
|
for the typical (not very deep) case.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 April 2004)
|
|
- Asking for CURL_IPRESOLVE_V6 when ipv6 addresses can't be resolved will
|
|
now cause the resolve function to return NULL immediately. This flaw was
|
|
pointed out by Gisle Vanem.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made curl -4/-6 actually set the desired option to libcurl.
|
|
|
|
- runtests.pl now has a new option (-p) that will display "interesting" log
|
|
files to stdout in case of a test failure. This is primarily intended to be
|
|
used in the 'full-test' make target that is used by the autobuild tests, as
|
|
we then get a much better chance to understand (remote) test failures based
|
|
on autobuild logs alone.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (13 April 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made the multi interface work again on Windows even when built
|
|
without ares. Before this, select() would return -1 during the name resolve
|
|
phase since curl_multi_fdset() didn't return any fd_set at all which wasn't
|
|
appreciated!
|
|
|
|
- curl_easy_duphandle() now duplicates the tcp_nodelay info as well.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 April 2004)
|
|
- Applied David Byron's patch for the MSVC libcurl makefile for builds with
|
|
zlib.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 April 2004)
|
|
- Dirk Manske improved the timer resolution for CURLINFO_*_TIME, it can now
|
|
be down to usec if the system sypports it.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (7 April 2004)
|
|
- A request that sends "Expect: 100-continue" and gets nothing but a single
|
|
100 response back will now return a CURLE_GOT_NOTHING. Test 158 verifies.
|
|
|
|
- The strtoofft() macro is now named curlx_strtoofft() to use the curlx_*
|
|
approach fully.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (6 April 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem's fixed bug #927979 reported by Nathan O'Sullivan. The problem
|
|
made libcurl on Windows leak a small amount of memory in each name resolve
|
|
when not used as a DLL.
|
|
|
|
- New authentication code added, particularly noticable when doing POST or PUT
|
|
with Digest or NTLM. libcurl will now use HEAD to negotiate the
|
|
authentication and when done perform the requested POST. Previously libcurl
|
|
sent POST immediately and expected the server to reply a final status code
|
|
with an error and then libcurl would not send the request-body but instead
|
|
send then next request in the sequence.
|
|
|
|
The reason for this change is due to IIS6 barfing on libcurl when we attempt
|
|
to POST with NTLM authentication. The reason for the problems is found in
|
|
RFC2616 section 8.2.3 regarding how servers should deal with the 100
|
|
continue request-header:
|
|
|
|
If it responds with a final status code, it MAY close the transport
|
|
connection or it MAY continue to read and discard the rest of the
|
|
request.
|
|
|
|
Previous versions of IIS clearly did close the connection in this case,
|
|
while this newer version decided it should "read and discard". That would've
|
|
forced us to send the whole POST (or PUT) data only to have it discarded and
|
|
then be forced to send it again. To avoid that huge penality, we switch to
|
|
using HEAD until we are authenticated and then send the POST.
|
|
|
|
The only actual drawback I can think of (except for the odd sites that might
|
|
treat HEAD differently than they would treat POST/PUT when given the same
|
|
URL) is that if you do POST with CURLAUTH_ANY set and the site requires NO
|
|
authentication, libcurl will still use a HEAD in a first round and then do a
|
|
POST.
|
|
|
|
If you do a HEAD or a GET on a site using CURLAUTH_ANY, libcurl will send
|
|
an un-authenticated request at once, which then is the only request if the
|
|
site requires no auth.
|
|
|
|
Alan Pinstein helped me work out the protocol details by figuring out why
|
|
libcurl failed and what IIS6 expects.
|
|
|
|
- The --limit-rate logic was corrected and now it works a lot better for
|
|
higher speeds, such as '10m' or similar. Reported in bug report #930249.
|
|
|
|
- Introducing curlx_tvnow() and curlx_tvdiff() using the new curlx_* fashion.
|
|
#include "timeval.h" from the lib dir to get the protos etc. Note that
|
|
these are NOT part of the libcurl API. The curl app simply uses the same
|
|
source files as the library does and therefore the file needs to be compiled
|
|
and linked with curl too, not just when creating libcurl.
|
|
|
|
- lib/strerror.c no longer uses sys_nerr on non-windows platforms since it
|
|
isn't portable enough
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 April 2004)
|
|
- In the curl_strnqual.3 man page, we now prepend the man3 dir to the file
|
|
name to work better. As pointed out by Robin Kay.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García updated the mingw makefiles.
|
|
|
|
- Dirk Manske fixed a problem I recently added in the progress meter code that
|
|
broke subsecond resolution for CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME. He also pointed out a
|
|
mistake in the code that produces the final update of the progress meter
|
|
that would often prevent it from actually being updated that final time.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 April 2004)
|
|
- Dirk Manske fixed a memory leak that happened when we use ares for name
|
|
resolves and decides to time-out before ares does it. This fix uses the
|
|
brand new ares_cancel() function which is not present in c-ares 1.1.0.
|
|
|
|
When told to enable ares, the configure script now checks for presence of
|
|
the ares_cancel function to alert users if they attempt to use a too old
|
|
c-ares library.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (31 March 2004)
|
|
- Roy Shan fixed a flaw that prevented ares name resolve timeouts to occur!
|
|
|
|
- Dirk Manske found out that libcurl timed out waiting for resolves far too
|
|
easy when libcurl was built to use (c-)ares for name resolving.
|
|
|
|
- Further Digest fixing and a successful test case 153 now makes me believe
|
|
Mitz Wark's problems are fixed.
|
|
|
|
- Andres Garcia figured out that test case 63, while working, only proved a
|
|
flaw in libcurl's 'http_proxy' parser when a user name and password is
|
|
provided. The user name was not extracted properly (and 'http' was always
|
|
used as user name).
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García fixed compiler warnings in our ioctlsocket() usage.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 March 2004)
|
|
- Joe Halpin faced problems with the getnameinfo() argument ai_flags and the
|
|
particular bit named 'NI_WITHSCOPEID' on Solaris 9 for Intel. I've now
|
|
written a configure test that checks for a working NI_WITHSCOPEID
|
|
implemenation. No code uses the result from this test yet, it is still
|
|
experimental. James Carlson wrote in comp.unix.solaris: "It's a bug
|
|
(5006623) -- it's not supported and shouldn't be in the header file."
|
|
|
|
- I provided Mitz Wark with a first patch in order to fix libcurl's problems
|
|
to re-negotiate Digest authentication (when 'stale=true' is included in the
|
|
response header).
|
|
|
|
- Roy Shan discovered that the multi interface didn't properly timeout name
|
|
lookups which could make handles get stuck in that state and thus never get
|
|
completed. I've produced a first test patch that attempts to correct this.
|
|
|
|
- David Byron's patch was appplied to make CURLOPT_FAILONERROR work nicely
|
|
even with authentcations such as NTLM or Digest enabled. Test cases 150, 151
|
|
and 152 were added to verify the functionality.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (29 March 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem updated files for the djgpp/MS-DOS build.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García helped me work out a fix for the runtests.pl script to make
|
|
the file:// tests run fine when tested with the mingw-built version of curl.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed an include issue with netinet/tcp.h on AIX, based on input by Tor.
|
|
This also required a minor fix of the configure script.
|
|
|
|
- The postit2.c source example used the wrong struct name for the post data.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (26 March 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem improved ipv6 support on windows by making the curl build to use
|
|
the correct getaddrinfo() function.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 March 2004)
|
|
- It turned out that AIX, despite having a "thread-safe libc", doesn't offer
|
|
all traditional functions thread-safe. This URL is informative on this
|
|
subject:
|
|
|
|
http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/aixprggd/ \
|
|
genprogc/thread_quick_ref.htm
|
|
|
|
As a result of this, we now check for three *_r() functions on recent AIX
|
|
versions as well that the URL mentions aren't thread-safe in AIX 5.1.
|
|
|
|
- renamed curl_strerror.[ch] to strerror.[ch]
|
|
|
|
- Joe Halpin added CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY and --tcp-nodelay to make it possible
|
|
for users to disable the Nagle algorthim-usage.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen provided some interesting strerror_r() knowledge. glibc has its
|
|
own API which differs from the POSIX one. Daniel adjusted the configure
|
|
script to detect the version in use, and the code now uses the new defines
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed some build flaws with the new lib/curl_strerror.c source file.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (24 March 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem's fix to replace the bad use of strerror(). This introduces
|
|
Curl_strerror() that attempts to be thread-safe _and_ works on Windows too!
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen spell-fixed lots of libcurl man pages.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen made testcurl.pl work with older perl 5 versions, and Daniel
|
|
made it not use chdir .. to go back, as that isn't very good when you've
|
|
setup a testdir containing symlinks.
|
|
|
|
- Added a check for strerror_r() in the configure script.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (23 March 2004)
|
|
- Added Greg Hewgill's testcurl.pl script to CVS. We have not moved over to
|
|
use this script for the real distributed testing just yet, but it is only
|
|
a matter of time.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem provided code that makes curl report a better error message
|
|
if --interface fails on windows.
|
|
|
|
- The regular progress meter is now fixed to never wrap due to long lines. All
|
|
fields are now static sized. If the time in the time fields get a time value
|
|
that would represent a time that is 100 hours or more (if not, it remains
|
|
using a HH:MM:SS display), it switches first to a "NNNd NNh" display (for
|
|
days and hours) and if that isn't enough it switches to a "NNNd" display if
|
|
it is more than 999 days.
|
|
|
|
Several of the calculations were also moved to fixed-point math instead of
|
|
using doubles.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 March 2004)
|
|
- Glen Nakamura noticed CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD didn't work as it
|
|
used to do if CURLOPT_NOBODY is set TRUE.
|
|
|
|
- Kevin Roth patched the cygwin package makefile and README to adjust to
|
|
new cygwin packaging guidelines.
|
|
|
|
- Enabled "NT responses" in the NTLM authentication. Doing this simply means
|
|
that we provide an extra chunk of data in each "type-3 message". The only
|
|
reason for doing this is that it seems that using only the "Lanmanager hash"
|
|
(as we've been doing until now) doesn't support passwords longer than 14
|
|
characters and it turns out there are users out there who want to use
|
|
libcurl and NTLM with such passwords! ;-) Seven NTLM-related test cases were
|
|
updated accordingly. Mentioned as issue 29 in TODO-RELEASE, bug report
|
|
#915609
|
|
|
|
- Moved the generated libcurl version info to a new header file, named
|
|
curl/curlver.h. Now interested parties can include ONLY version info, should
|
|
anyone want that (and it seems at least some windows resource files would).
|
|
Mentioned as issue 27 in TODO-RELEASE.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 March 2004)
|
|
- Fixed the root Makefile to use tabs for the netware target. Günter Knauf
|
|
pointed this out.
|
|
|
|
- Marty Kuhrt's VMS cleanup
|
|
|
|
- Thomas Schwinge made buildconf recognize ACLOCAL_FLAGS to invoke aclocal
|
|
with particular pre-determined options.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.11.1 (19 March 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 March 2004)
|
|
- Tor Arntsen brought some info about SGI IRIX:
|
|
|
|
IRIX supports 3 different executable/object formats, -32, -n32 and -64.
|
|
-n32 is default 32-bit format, -32 is the "old" 32-bit format, and -64 is
|
|
the 64-bit format. Libraries for the different formats are in lib, lib32
|
|
and lib64 respectively.
|
|
|
|
We've now adjusted the configure script to adapt to this when scanning for
|
|
3rd party libs, such as OpenSSL.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (17 March 2004)
|
|
- Watz pointed out a few missing files in the MSVC project description file.
|
|
|
|
- Günter Knauf brought patches, code and makefiles to build curl on Novell
|
|
NetWare.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 March 2004)
|
|
- Lots of libcurl man pages were updated to contain references to other man
|
|
pages the recognized way so that they appear as nice hyperlinks in the HTML
|
|
versions.
|
|
|
|
- buildconf now checks the m4 version too, since autoconf requires a GNU m4
|
|
version to build proper configure scripts.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (12 March 2004)
|
|
- Added CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE_LARGE, the large file version of
|
|
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to allow POSTs larger than 2GB.
|
|
|
|
- David Byron fixed an uninitialized variable case/crash.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (10 March 2004)
|
|
- Jeff Lawson fixed the SSL connection to deal with received signals during the
|
|
connect.
|
|
|
|
- Changed the OS string for win32 to become "i386-pc-win32".
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 March 2004)
|
|
- Changed the internals to use curl_socket_t for socket variable type. This
|
|
should enable us to build with less warnings on Windows, where SOCKET is
|
|
used which is an unsigned int, while most other platforms use a mere int.
|
|
|
|
- Modified lib/config-win32.h to build fine on MSVC again.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.11.1-pre1 (8 March 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (8 March 2004)
|
|
- Minor fix to make curl CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE is only set if curl_off_t is
|
|
larger than 4 bytes.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 March 2004)
|
|
- Improved PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication, the so called issue 12.
|
|
|
|
- Modified the test HTTP server a lot to work with the upcoming changes for
|
|
PUT/POST with NTLM/Digest authentication (like test case 88). Added Andrés
|
|
García's win32-changes. Improved the logging.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the file:-related progress/getinfo stuff a bit more.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 March 2004)
|
|
- I corrected a problem with the multi interface when following a Location:
|
|
header or when doing multiple-request authentications. A subsequent request
|
|
could erroneously re-use a previous connection that was sent with
|
|
Connection: close. Christopher R. Palmer reported.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García patched curl to prevent warnings while compiling with mingw,
|
|
mainly because it is now possible to have both WIN32 and HAVE_CONFIG_H
|
|
defined.
|
|
|
|
- When transferring files from a file: URL, the progress meter and other
|
|
transfer metrics were not updated properly.
|
|
|
|
- David Byron provided a "version resource" file to the curl executable for
|
|
the windows builds.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (3 March 2004)
|
|
- David Byron's work on making libcurl only require winsock 1.1 on Windows
|
|
machines.
|
|
|
|
- More variable cleanups based on compiler warnings generated by Tor Arntsen's
|
|
autobuilds with MIPSPro.
|
|
|
|
- Joe Halpin helped us fix some pedantic compiler warnings on FreeBSD.
|
|
|
|
- Applied Tom Bates' patch to build on nsr-tandem-nsk.
|
|
|
|
- Dan Fandrich corrected some flaws in the configure GSS detection.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 March 2004)
|
|
- Fixed the libcurl code to use FORMAT_OFF_T for printf() formatting
|
|
curl_off_t types internally.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (1 March 2004)
|
|
- Added CURL_VERSION_LARGEFILE as a feature-bit in the curl_version_info()
|
|
response, that signals if this libcurl supports >2GB files. curl -V now
|
|
outputs 'Largefile' in the Features: field if this is the case. Most systems
|
|
are likely to support this.
|
|
|
|
- We offer a CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T define in the public header, which can be used
|
|
to printf() curl_off_t variables. We also modified the libcurl sources to
|
|
use this define instead of the previous %Od approach (although I've left the
|
|
O-flag functional in the code). This should also prevent compilers to warn
|
|
on the home-grown option.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the resume-check code to test for a working resume at the end of the
|
|
headers and not at the first body-byte.
|
|
|
|
- CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE is now considered obsolete. Stop using it. If
|
|
you need a global DNS cache for whatever reason, use the share interface and
|
|
you'll get a global cache that works the way it should work. You can even
|
|
have any number of global caches, all at your command. This is now also
|
|
mentioned in the docs.
|
|
|
|
- Made the *printf code support the z-flag to enable size_t printf() in a
|
|
manner similar to how glibc allows it. To make printfing of this work on
|
|
platforms with 64bit size_t and 32bit ints. If there even are any! ;-)
|
|
|
|
- Christopher R. Palmer discovered that if you CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT and
|
|
CURLAUTH_NTLM (or CURLAUTH_ANY and libcurl then picked NTLM), libcurl would
|
|
loop without succeeding to authenticate due to the new connection that was
|
|
made for all round-trips in the authentication. Now, the FRESH_CONNECT is
|
|
remade to only matter for the first connection made with curl_easy_perform()
|
|
and all the rest that might follow due to FOLLOWLOCATION or HTTP
|
|
authentication are now ignoring that option.
|
|
|
|
- Adjusted the QUIT code slightly since it could core-dump.
|
|
|
|
- Corrected the test suite's FTP server to provide a correct size to the
|
|
'verifiedserver' request.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 February 2004)
|
|
- Joe Halpin made the FTP code send QUIT on the control connection before
|
|
disconnecting the TCP connection. This is what good-behaving ftp clients
|
|
should do.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (26 February 2004)
|
|
- David Byron updated several files to make curl build fine on MSVC 6. He
|
|
also added the 'buildconf.bat' that works like the 'buildconf + configure'
|
|
combo does on unixes.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made the memdebug stuff support calloc() as well.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen pointed out that testcurl.sh needed to remove the generated
|
|
files in order to have them re-generated in each build.
|
|
|
|
- Andy Serpa found out that the share interface did not enjoy life when not
|
|
having the lock and unlock callbacks set, even though documented to be
|
|
OK. It still is OK, and now the code won't segfault anymore!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (25 February 2004)
|
|
- Based on a patch by Greg Hewgill I modified how long long is used in the
|
|
mprintf code, as we can use a 64bit type with MSVC that is a long long
|
|
equivalent. This corrects some weird large file behaviors on windows.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen helped me work out --enable-debug to work better with different
|
|
versions of the gcc and icc compilers.
|
|
|
|
- Added CURLOPT_SHARE to the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 February 2004)
|
|
- Applied the final pieces of Gisle Vanem's patch that brings a working name
|
|
resolve timeout to the windows versions of curl!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 February 2004)
|
|
- David Byron's fix to allow the speed-limit logic work even if you set
|
|
limit-rate. It does work on the expense of the rate limiter.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (20 February 2004)
|
|
- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler
|
|
(which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc
|
|
options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I
|
|
option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib,
|
|
Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have
|
|
control of.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 February 2004)
|
|
- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the
|
|
getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files.
|
|
|
|
- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc
|
|
version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the
|
|
particular version.
|
|
|
|
- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use
|
|
the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the
|
|
curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code,
|
|
but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here:
|
|
|
|
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2004-02/0215.html
|
|
|
|
Daniel (18 February 2004)
|
|
- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been
|
|
referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs".
|
|
|
|
- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (17 February 2004)
|
|
- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better
|
|
track memory.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 February 2004)
|
|
- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init()
|
|
and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It
|
|
improves performance.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for ipv6-enabled libcurls and
|
|
re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin.
|
|
|
|
- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 February 2004)
|
|
- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a
|
|
cached entry was used.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was
|
|
applied.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (13 February 2004)
|
|
- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a
|
|
specific network interface.
|
|
|
|
- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big
|
|
enough to hold a large file!
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp
|
|
department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 February 2004)
|
|
- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers
|
|
warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings!
|
|
|
|
- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built
|
|
outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done
|
|
by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers.
|
|
|
|
- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff
|
|
to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in
|
|
manual.
|
|
|
|
- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from
|
|
the curl command tool.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now
|
|
he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (9 February 2004)
|
|
- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler
|
|
"Accept: */*".
|
|
|
|
- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs.
|
|
|
|
- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man
|
|
pages that were previously missing.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the
|
|
AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on
|
|
ipv6-enabled AIX builds.
|
|
|
|
- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now
|
|
it runs on windows with GTK as well!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (6 February 2004)
|
|
- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run
|
|
with mingw on windows.
|
|
|
|
- Modified the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of
|
|
mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler
|
|
warnings.
|
|
|
|
- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by
|
|
following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (5 February 2004)
|
|
- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related
|
|
define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found.
|
|
If one is missing, none of the defines is set.
|
|
|
|
- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles.
|
|
|
|
- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without
|
|
doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable
|
|
the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98
|
|
verifies this functionality.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing
|
|
the ipv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error
|
|
messages when bailing out in the that function.
|
|
|
|
- Tor Arntsen now provides AIX and IRIX (using gcc, xlc and the MIPSPro
|
|
compilers) automated build logs (http://curl.haxx.se/auto/) and we've fixed
|
|
numerous minor quirks to make less warnings appear.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (4 February 2004)
|
|
- Based on a patch by Gilad, we now use the custom timeouts when waiting for a
|
|
server to connect when using FTP PORT. Previously we always waited 10
|
|
seconds, no more no less. We now also changed the default (if no timeout is
|
|
set) to wait 60 seconds for the connect before we fail.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (3 February 2004)
|
|
- Modified to link with c-ares instead of ares.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (2 February 2004)
|
|
- Added a configure test to check for which option the (g)nroff tool wants
|
|
to extract plain text from the man pages. Tor Arntsen told us the AIX
|
|
version of GNU gnroff doesn't support -man!
|
|
|
|
- Added an undef of accept in memdebug.h to make curl build with --enable-debug
|
|
on AIX 5.2 which seems to have accept defined. Reported by Tor Arntsen.
|
|
|
|
- curl_version() now includes c-ares version info, and curl_version_info() now
|
|
returns a struct with version SECOND that also includes that info.
|
|
|
|
- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the
|
|
new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly
|
|
modified API.
|
|
|
|
- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error
|
|
string when we fail to resolve a name.
|
|
|
|
- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a
|
|
connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That
|
|
makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must
|
|
not complain on the fact that no data was received.
|
|
|
|
- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to
|
|
feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds,
|
|
but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them
|
|
is set.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir
|
|
before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported.
|
|
|
|
- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header
|
|
replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (30 January 2004)
|
|
- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out
|
|
by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the
|
|
server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request
|
|
without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET.
|
|
Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a
|
|
fresh connection.
|
|
|
|
- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a
|
|
read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding.
|
|
|
|
- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over.
|
|
|
|
- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a
|
|
SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a
|
|
while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for
|
|
IPv6-enabled libcurls.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (29 January 2004)
|
|
- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
|
|
checking the define if its present...
|
|
|
|
- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating
|
|
system.
|
|
|
|
- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler
|
|
options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to
|
|
avoid them.
|
|
|
|
- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking
|
|
sockets properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (28 January 2004)
|
|
- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final
|
|
CRLF combo properly.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (27 January 2004)
|
|
- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on
|
|
as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar.
|
|
|
|
- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display
|
|
properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (23 January 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a
|
|
required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file.
|
|
|
|
- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with
|
|
../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided
|
|
libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar
|
|
where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps
|
|
we'll just make this function available in the library...
|
|
|
|
- Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was
|
|
set.
|
|
|
|
- Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using
|
|
a persistent connection.
|
|
|
|
- Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle
|
|
Vanem reported.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (22 January 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw
|
|
compiler.
|
|
|
|
- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly.
|
|
|
|
- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost
|
|
is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another
|
|
name space pollution.
|
|
|
|
- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide
|
|
large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use
|
|
this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large
|
|
file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the
|
|
size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.11.0 (22 January 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (21 January 2004)
|
|
- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They
|
|
have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any
|
|
problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects
|
|
this name space pollution.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (19 January 2004)
|
|
- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also
|
|
arguments in a config file without a required parameter!
|
|
|
|
Daniel (16 January 2004)
|
|
- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables
|
|
possibly being used unassigned.
|
|
|
|
- Minor Interix build problem fixed.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (15 January 2004)
|
|
- Peter Sylvester pointed out some necessary escaping needed in the
|
|
acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (14 January 2004)
|
|
- Vincent Bronner fixed the Curl_resolv() return code. This extends the fix
|
|
Steve Green provided on december 3...
|
|
|
|
Daniel (13 January 2004)
|
|
- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support
|
|
backspace.
|
|
|
|
- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and
|
|
an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can
|
|
build curl with the compressed version.
|
|
|
|
- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds.
|
|
|
|
- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files.
|
|
|
|
- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a
|
|
SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the
|
|
Borland lib/Makefile.b32.
|
|
|
|
- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are
|
|
compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so
|
|
that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to
|
|
make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (12 January 2004)
|
|
- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL
|
|
even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a
|
|
"follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature.
|
|
|
|
- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it
|
|
retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe
|
|
the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts.
|
|
|
|
Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004)
|
|
|
|
Daniel (11 January 2004)
|
|
- Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to
|
|
IANA.
|
|
|
|
Daniel (8 January 2004)
|
|
- Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options
|
|
in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930.
|
|

- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage.
|
|
|
|
- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was
|
|
applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are:
|
|
|
|
INFILESIZE_LARGE
|
|
RESUME_FROM_LARGE
|
|
MAXFILESIZE_LARGE

|
- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of
|
|
gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same
|
|
function in other libs (like ares for example).
|
|
|
|
- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
|
|
on win32.
