curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
The curl tool got this option as --post301
Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
CURLOPT_NOBODY enabled but not CURLOPT_HEADER, libcurl wouldn't do TYPE
before it does SIZE which makes it less useful. I walked over the code and
made it do this properly, and added test case 542 to verify it.
- Bug report #1792649 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1792649) pointed
out a problem with doing an empty upload over FTP on a re-used connection.
I added test case 541 to reproduce it and to verify the fix.
- I noticed while writing test 541 that the FTP code wrongly did a CWD on the
second transfer as it didn't store and remember the "" path from the
previous transfer so it would instead CWD to the entry path as stored. This
worked, but did a superfluous command. Thus, test case 541 now also verifies
this fix.
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.
Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
test case runs fine.
out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
case 1003 was added to verify this.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776235) about ftp requests with NOBODY
on a directory would do a "SIZE (null)" request. This is now fixed and test
case 1000 was added to verify.
after 7.16.2. This is much due to the different treatment file:// gets
internally, but now I added test 231 to make it less likely to happen again
without us noticing!
using one of the so-called 'right' time zones that take into account
leap seconds, which causes the tests to fail (as reported by
Daniel Black in bug report #1745964).
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply
assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how
RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.
