Changelog
Daniel Stenberg (4 June 2009)
- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
Yang Tse (4 Jun 2009)
- Igor Novoseltsev provided patches and information, that after some
adjustments to better fit curl's way of doing things, have resulted
in the posibility of building libcurl for VxWorks.
Daniel Fandrich (2 June 2009)
- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
static config-android.h may need to be created and checked in to the
libcurl source tree.
Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson fixed the configure script to better find and use NSS
without pkg-config.
Yang Tse (1 Jun 2009)
- John E. Malmberg provided a VMS specific clean-up for curl.h, and pointed
out that the configure script was failing to detect the timeval struct on
VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due to definition
taking place in socket.h instead of time.h. I have adjusted configure
script to also include this header when checking struct timeval.
Daniel Stenberg (27 May 2009)
- Frank McGeough provided a small OpenSSL #include fix to make libcurl compile
fine with Nokia 5th edition 1.0 SDK for Symbian.
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found a call to a OpenSSL function that didn't check
for a failure properly.
- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.
- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.
Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2009)
- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2009)
- Removed some obsolete digest code that caused a valgrind error in test 551.
Daniel Fandrich (20 May 2009)
- Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip those
tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as
those configured to use OpenDNS).
Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2009)
- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entry
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing
a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection. Caolan
McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
Version 7.19.5 (18 May 2009)
Daniel Stenberg (17 May 2009)
- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem with
no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a
user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
Daniel Stenberg (11 May 2009)
- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompression
of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael Cronenworth
at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12
If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,
as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
Daniel Stenberg (10 May 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wasted
byte in the digest code.
Yang Tse (9 May 2009)
- Removed DOS and TPF package's subdirectory Makefile.am, it was only used
to include some files in the distribution tarball serving no other purpose.
Files from the DOS and TPF subdirectories are now included in the EXTRA_DIST
of the Makefile in the parent subdirectory.
Yang Tse (8 May 2009)
- Changed host name literal in several tests to one under the haxx.se domain.
- Renamed vc6 workspace and project files to avoid filename clash when used
for conversion to later VS versions.
Daniel Stenberg (8 May 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads as
well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
Yang Tse (7 May 2009)
- Fixed an issue affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c
patch committed May 4.
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. Problems
reported in the Debian package.
- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with
libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.
Yang Tse (5 May 2009)
- Fixed the --ftp-port address of test #251 to the CLIENTIP address, and
reverted the change affecting test suite harness committed 4 May.
Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2009)
- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did the
corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id
in case the previous re-used one is rejected.
Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2009)
- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
code needs similar fixes.
Yang Tse (4 May 2009)
- Applied David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and
non-ASCII platform HTTP requests" patch addressing two HTTP PUT problems:
1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are
being translated to ASCII. 2) On all platforms the line endings of part of
the protocol portions are mangled from CRLF to CRCRLF if data->set.crlf or
data->set.prefer_ascii are set (depending on CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV).
- Applied David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP
server and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when
running the FTP test server.
Daniel Fandrich (3 May 2009)
- Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bug
report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
Yang Tse (2 May 2009)
- Use a build-time configured curl_socklen_t data type instead of socklen_t.
Yang Tse (1 May 2009)
- Applied David McCreedy's patches "TPF-platform specific changes to various
files" and "http.c fix to Curl_proxyCONNECT for non-ASCII platforms", the
former with minor edits.
Daniel Stenberg (30 Apr 2009)
- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
"ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2009)
- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
that this change fixes the reported problem.
Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
pipe.
This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
from a stream!
Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2009)
- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven
Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2009)
- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
- Bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by Rainer
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
lower case takes precedence,
Daniel Fandrich (21 Apr 2009)
- Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.
Yang Tse (21 Apr 2009)
- Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files to
setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of
NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
Renamed libcurl's memory.h to curl_memory.h
Daniel Stenberg (20 Apr 2009)
- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and
how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The
conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that
works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for
OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str -
within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this
mistake happening.
Daniel Stenberg (17 Apr 2009)
- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP
proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each
request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
Daniel Stenberg (13 Apr 2009)
- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin
Storsj<73> pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
looked like:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
not hit any existing users badly.
- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turned
out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue
is found in Redhat's bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612
There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
Daniel Fandrich (11 Apr 2009)
- Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.
- Improved Symbian support for SSL.
Yang Tse (10 Apr 2009)
- Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all
the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64
libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
Yang Tse (8 Apr 2009)
- Removed Sun compilers preprocessor block from curlbuild.h.dist, this also
removes it from the curlbuild.h file originally distributed by the cURL
project as this file is intended for systems not capable of running the
configure script. For those who have been building curl out of the source
code curl distribution tarball provided by curl.haxx.se the change implies
nothing. Previous change in this area committed 2 Apr becomes irrelevant.
Daniel Stenberg (6 Apr 2009)
- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on success
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal
errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done
elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes
whenever we can think of them...
Yang Tse (2 Apr 2009)
- Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and a
non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated
to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This
configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t
data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for
libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without
having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than
64 and using the ILP32 data model.
Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if a
strdup() call failed.
Daniel Fandrich (31 Mar 2009)
- Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).
Daniel Stenberg (18 Mar 2009)
- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when
NSS is used. 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.
