History of Changes
Version *upcoming* 7.4
Daniel (9 October 2000)
- Georg Horn provided a source example that proved a memory leak in libcurl.
I added simple memory debugging facilities and now we can make libcurl log
all memory fiddling functions. An additional perl script is used to analyze
the output logfile and to match malloc()s with free()s etc. The memory leak
Georg found turned out to be the main cookie struct that cookie_cleanup()
didn't free!
Daniel (8 October 2000)
- Georg Horn found a GetHost() problem. It turned out it never assigned the
pointer in the third argument properly! This could make a crash, or at best
a memory leak!
Version 7.4 pre4
Daniel (6 October 2000)
- Is the -F post following the RFCX 1867 spec? We had this dicussion on the
mailing list since it appears curl can't post -F form posts to a PHP
receiver...
- Domenico Andreoli found out that the long option '--proxy' wasn't working
anymore! The option parser got confused when I added the --proxytunnel for
7.3. This was indeed a very old flaw that hasn't turned up until now...
- Jörn Hartroth provided patches, updated makefiles and two new files for DLL
stuff on win32. He also pointed out that lib source files were compiled with
-I../src which isn't only wrong but plain stupid!
- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed a problem with HTTP resume. Curl previously used
a local variable badly, that could lead to crashes.
Version 7.4 pre3
Daniel (4 October 2000)
- More docs written. The curl_easy_getinfo.3 man page is now pretty accurate,
as is the -w section in curl.1. I added two options to enable the user to
get information about the received headers' size and the size of the HTTP
request. T. Bharath requested them.
Daniel (3 October 2000)
- Corrected a sever free() before use in the new add_buffer_send()! ;-)
Version 7.4 pre2
Daniel (3 October 2000)
- Jason S. Priebe sent me patches that changed the way curl issues HTTP
requests. The entire request is now issued in one single shot. It didn't do
this previously, and it has turned out that since the common browsers do it
this way, some sites have turned out to work with browsers but not with
curl! Although this is not a client-side problem, we want to be able to
fully emulate browsers, and thus we have now adjusted the networking layer
to slightly more appear as a browser. I adjusted Jason's patch, the faults
are probably mine.
Daniel (2 October 2000)
- Anyone who ever uploaded data with curl on a slow link has noticed that the
progess meter is updated very infrequently. That is due to the large buffer
size curl is using. It reads 50Kb and sends it, updates the progress meter
and loops. 50Kb is very much on a slow link, although it is pretty neat to
use on a fast one.
I've now made an adjustment that makes curl use a 2Kb buffer for uploads to
start with. If curl's average upload speed is faster than buffer size bytes
per second, curl will increase the used buffer size up to max 50Kb. It
should make the progress meter work better.
Version 7.4 pre1
Daniel (29 September 2000)
- Ripped out the -w stuff from the library and put in the curl tool. It gets
all the relevant info from the library using the new curl_easy_getinfo()
function.
- brad at openbsd.org mailed me a patch that corrected my kerberos mistake and
removed a compiler warning from hostip.c that OpenBSD people get.
Daniel (28 September 2000)
- Of course (I should probably get punished somehow) I didn't properly correct
the #include lines for the base64 stuff in the kerberos sources in the just
released 7.3 package. They still include the *_krb.h files! Now, the error
is sooo very easy to spot and fix so I won't bother with a quick bug fix
release. I'll post a patch whenever one is needed instead. It'll be
available in the CVS in a few minutes anyway.
Version 7.3
