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!

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!

- 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.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.2 (13 November 2008)
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (13 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a potential data loss in Curl_client_write() when the transfer is
|
||
paused.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Rainer Canavan filed bug #2255627
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a
|
||
program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a
|
||
libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
|
||
over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This
|
||
happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too
|
||
early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the
|
||
bug #2107377
|
||
|
||
The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both
|
||
the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar
|
||
fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but
|
||
unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix!
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (11 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Related with bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535)
|
||
Daniel Fandrich noticed that curl_addrinfo was also missing in the build
|
||
process of other four non-configure platforms. Added now.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Nov 2008)
|
||
- The getifaddrs() version of Curl_if2ip() crashed when used on a Linux
|
||
system with a TEQL load-balancing device configured, which doesn't
|
||
have an address. Thanks to Adam Sampson for spotting this (bug #2234923).
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (6 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Merged existing IPv4 and IPv6 Curl_ip2addr functions into a single one
|
||
which now also takes a protocol address family argument.
|
||
|
||
- Bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535) pointed out a
|
||
problem with MSVC 6 makefile that caused a build failure. It was noted that
|
||
the curl_addrinfo.obj reference was missing. I took the opportunity to sort
|
||
the list in which this was missing. Issue submitted by John Wilkinson.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.1 (5 November 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2008)
|
||
- CURLINFO_FILETIME now works for file:// transfers as well
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Bug #2218480 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2218480) pointed out a
|
||
problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
|
||
pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
|
||
the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
|
||
places and ways previously and they are now unified.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (3 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Fix undersized IPv6 address internal buffer. IPv6 address strings longer
|
||
than 35 characters would be truncated.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2008)
|
||
- Daniel Johnson reported and fixed:
|
||
|
||
When c-ares isn't enabled, libcurl by default calls getaddrinfo with family
|
||
set to PF_UNSPEC which causes getaddrinfo to return all available addresses,
|
||
both IPv4 and IPv6. Libcurl then tries each one until it can connect. If the
|
||
net connection doesn't support IPv6, libcurl can still fall back to IPv4.
|
||
|
||
However, since c-ares doesn't support PF_UNSPEC, when it's used it defaults
|
||
to using family=PF_INET6 and therefore only returns IPv6 addresses when AAAA
|
||
records are available, even if IPv4 addresses are also available. The effect
|
||
is that since my ISP doesn't do IPv6, libcurl can't connect at all to a site
|
||
that has AAAA records. It will work if I explicitly use CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 or
|
||
--ipv4 with the curl tool. I discovered this when curl would fail to connect
|
||
to seemingly random sites. It turns out they weren't random, they were sites
|
||
with AAAA records.
|
||
|
||
So now libcurl defaults to PF_INET... until c-ares has been tought to offer
|
||
both.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (31 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Tests 558 and 559 are stabilized. These two tests were initially introduced
|
||
to aid in the location of a seg-fault which was only triggered on non-debug
|
||
builds done with the icc 9.1 Intel compiler. Test 558 does not trigger the
|
||
problem, but test 559 does trigger it. As of today, it isn't yet absolutely
|
||
clear if it is a compiler optimizer issue or a memory corruption one.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (30 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Use our Curl_addrinfo structure definition to handle address info data even
|
||
when a system addrinfo struct is available. Provide and use a wrapper around
|
||
systems getaddrinfo function, Curl_getaddrinfo_ex which returns a pointer to
|
||
a list of dynamically allocated Curl_addrinfo structs.
|
||
|
||
Configure will check freeaddrinfo and getaddrinfo functions and define
|
||
preprocessor symbols HAVE_FREEADDRINFO and HAVE_GETADDRINFO when appropriate.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (29 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a bug that caused a few bytes of garbage to be sent after a
|
||
curl_easy_pause() during a chunky upload. Reported by Steve Roskowski.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (28 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Changed the "resolve" test precheck program to verify that an IPv6 socket
|
||
can be created before resolving the IPv6 name. In the context of running
|
||
a test, it doesn't make sense to run an IPv6 test when a host is resolvable
|
||
but IPv6 isn't usable. This should fix failures of test 1085 on hosts with
|
||
library and DNS support for IPv6 but where actual use of IPv6 has been
|
||
administratively disabled.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (24 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Added experimental support for zlib and OpenSSL on Symbian OS.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (21 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Fixed some problems with SFTP range support to fix test cases 634 through
|
||
637.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (17 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a compile error reported by Albert Chin on AIX and IRIX when using
|
||
GTLS.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (16 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that then
|
||
make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
|
||
these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
|
||
that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Pascal Terjan filed bug #2154627
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
|
||
uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
|
||
Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
|
||
strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
|
||
just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
|
||
function in libcurl (called Curl_raw_equal) for doing case insentive
|
||
comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
|
||
and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (15 Oct 2008)
|
||
- A <precheck> command is considered to have failed if it returns a non-zero
|
||
return code. This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
|
||
whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
|
||
test to be skipped.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
|
||
- John Wilkinson filed bug #2155496
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2155496) pointing out an error case
|
||
without a proper human-readable error message. When a read callback returns
|
||
a too large value (like when trying to return a negative number) it would
|
||
trigger and the generic error message then makes the proplem slightly
|
||
different to track down. I've added an error message for this now.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Fixed the --interface option to work with IPv6 connections on glibc
|
||
systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6
|
||
address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
|
||
involved a name lookup.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (8 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 1082 through 1085 to test symbolic --interface parameters
|
||
|
||
- Added tests 633 through 637 to test the new file range support for SFTP.
|
||
All but the first test cause an infinite loop or other failure and so
|
||
are added to DISABLED.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Oct 2008)
|
||
- John Wilkinson filed bug #2152270
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2152270) which identified and fixed a
|
||
CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing:
|
||
|
||
Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing
|
||
the process potentially.
|
||
|
||
Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect
|
||
that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.
|
||
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2111613
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2111613) that eventually identified a
|
||
flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases missed to call the
|
||
timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and added within the same
|
||
millisecond.
|
||
|
||
- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to
|
||
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
|
||
deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
|
||
the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
|
||
both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Changed the handling of read/write errors in Curl_perform() to allow a
|
||
a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
|
||
This should fix test case 160. Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
|
||
test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
|
||
hard to test reliably.
|
||
|
||
- Created test cases 1080 and 1081 to reproduce a problem of
|
||
CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL leaking memory and returning incorrect results when
|
||
two URLs are requested. Reported by vmpdemo in bug #2152270
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A then
|
||
the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
|
||
re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP
|
||
address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report
|
||
the info from host B.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (7 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Added --enable-optimize configure option to enable and disable compiler
|
||
optimizations to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (2 Oct 2008)
|
||
- Added --enable-warnings configure option to enable and disable strict
|
||
compiler warnings to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.
|
||
|
||
runtests.pl will now run with picky compiler warnings enabled unless
|
||
explicitly disabled.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (1 Oct 2008)
|
||
- "make clean" now cleans out the docs and tests directories, too.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (30 Sep 2008)
|
||
- The libcurl FTP code now returns CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND error when SIZE
|
||
gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
|
||
wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
|
||
upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
|
||
there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
|
||
cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Daniel Egger provided a patch that allows you to disable proxy support in
|
||
libcurl to somewhat reduce the size of the binary. Run configure
|
||
--disable-proxy.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (29 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Moved all signal-based name resolution timeout handling into a single new
|
||
Curl_resolv_timeout function to reduce coupling.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Ian Lynagh provided a patch that now makes CURLOPT_RANGE work fine for SFTP
|
||
downloads!
|
||
|
||
- Maxim Ivanov filed bug report #2107803
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107803) "no CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL in
|
||
multi mode" together with a patch that fixed the problem.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Emanuele Bovisio submitted bug report #2126435. We fixed the HTTP Digest
|
||
auth code to not behave badly when getting a blank realm with
|
||
realm="". http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2126435
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (23 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Make sure not to dereference the wrong UrlState proto union member when
|
||
switching from one protocol to another in a single request (e.g.
|
||
redirecting from HTTP to FTP as in test 1055) by resetting
|
||
state.expect100header before every request.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (23 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Introducing Jamie Lokier's function for date to epoch conversion used in the
|
||
date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system-
|
||
provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no
|
||
longer depend on the TZ environment variable. Switching to our own converter
|
||
has some side-effect and they are noted here for future reference (taken
|
||
from a mail by mr Lokier):
|
||
|
||
time_t is not measured in seconds in the ANSI C standard - or even counted
|
||
uniformly - weird platforms can use other numeric representations of dates
|
||
in time_t - hence the difftime() function.
|
||
|
||
On POSIX time_t is measured in UTC seconds, which means not including leap
|
||
seconds. But it's mentioned in a few places that some old POSIX-ish
|
||
environments include leap seconds in their time_t counts...
|
||
|
||
I'm pretty sure [the new implementation is] correct on anything truly POSIX.
|
||
And it's obviously a lot less dependent on platform quirks and corner cases
|
||
in many ways than the mktime() version.
|
||
|
||
- Rob Crittenden brought a patch to "add some locking for thread-safety to NSS
|
||
implementation".
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (22 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Made the SOCKS code use the new Curl_read_plain() function to fix the bug
|
||
Markus Moeller reported: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-09/0016.html
|
||
|
||
- recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper
|
||
CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now
|
||
disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.
|
||
|
||
- Michael Goffioul filed bug report #2107377 "Problem with multi + GnuTLS +
|
||
proxy" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107377) that showed how a multi
|
||
interface using program didn't work when built with GnuTLS and a CONNECT
|
||
request was done over a proxy (basically test 502 over a proxy to a HTTPS
|
||
site). It turned out the ssl connect function would get called twice which
|
||
caused the second call to fail.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (22 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Fixed test 539 to handle an out of memory condition that shows up now
|
||
that memdebug.h is included in the test programs.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYS.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (19 Sep 2008)
|
||
- configure script now checks availability of the alarm() function.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (18 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Don't bother to install a SIGALRM handler unless alarm() is available.
|
||
Also, leave the existing SIGALRM handler alone if the timeout is too small
|
||
to handle.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (17 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Removed reference to curl-ca-bundle.crt in the host verification failure
|
||
error message.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Improve configure detection of gethostname(), localtime_r(), strstr(),
|
||
getservbyport_r(), gethostbyaddr_r() and gethostbyname_r().
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (14 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Improve configure detection of strcasecmp(), strcasestr(), strcmpi(),
|
||
stricmp(), strlcat(), strncasecmp(), strncmpi() and strnicmp().
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (13 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Disable tracking of fdopen() calls in the low-level memory leak tracking
|
||
code when fdopen() is not available, to avoid compiler error.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (12 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Further adjust detection of strerror_r() in the configure process, and
|
||
ensure that errno is not modified inside Curl_strerror().
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Improve detection of gmtime_r(), strtoll(), sigaction(), strtok_r(),
|
||
strdup() and ftruncate() in the configure process.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Mike Revi discovered some swapped speed switches documented in the curl man
|
||
page.
|
||
|
||
- Checked in some documentation and code improvements and fixes that I
|
||
discovered in the FreeBSD ports system.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin patched a problem: I have found bug in pipelining through
|
||
proxy. I have a transparent proxy. When running with http_proxy environment
|
||
variable not set my test completes fine (it goes through transparent
|
||
proxy). When I set http_proxy variable my test hangs after the first
|
||
downloaded is complete. Looks like the second handle never gets out from
|
||
WAITDO state.
|
||
|
||
The fix: It makes checkPendPipeline move 1 handler from pend pipe to send
|
||
pipe if pipelining is not supported by server but there are no handles in
|
||
send and recv pipes.
|
||
|
||
- Stefan Krause pointed out that libcurl would wrongly send away cookies to
|
||
sites in cases where the cookie clearly has a very old expiry date. The
|
||
condition was simply that libcurl's date parser would fail to convert the
|
||
date and it would then count as a (timed-based) match. Starting now, a
|
||
missed date due to an unsupported date format or date range will now cause
|
||
the cookie to not match.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (5 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Improved the logic that decides whether to use HTTP 1.1 features or not in a
|
||
request. Setting a specific version with CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION overrides
|
||
all other checks, but otherwise, a 1.0 request will be made if the server
|
||
is known to support only 1.0 because it previously responded so and the
|
||
connection was kept alive, or a response to a previous request on this handle
|
||
came back as 1.0. The latter could take place in cases like redirection or
|
||
authentication where several requests have to be made before the operation
|
||
is complete. If any one of the servers in a redirection chain supports only
|
||
1.0, then remaining requests will be sent in 1.0 mode.
|
||
|
||
- Detect cases where an upload must be sent chunked and the server supports
|
||
only HTTP 1.0 and return CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (5 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames
|
||
CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
|
||
don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
|
||
libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
|
||
subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
|
||
patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
|
||
option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
|
||
|
||
- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. By
|
||
enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS
|
||
or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info
|
||
can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with
|
||
curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing
|
||
helped me test and smoothen out this feature.
|
||
|
||
Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use
|
||
OpenSSL.
|
||
|
||
This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!
|
||
|
||
- Dmitriy Sergeyev pointed out that curl_easy_pause() didn't unpause properly
|
||
during certain conditions. I also changed this code to use realloc() based
|
||
on Daniel Fandrich's suggestion.
|
||
|
||
Guenter Knauf (4 Sep 2008)
|
||
- MingW32 non-configure builds are now largefile feature enabled by default.
|
||
NetWare LIBC builds are also now largefile feature enabled by default.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (4 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Several fixes related with print formatting string directives.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Search for the FreeBSD CA cert file /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root.crt
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (2 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Fixed an out of memory problem that caused torture test failures in tests
|
||
706 and 707.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2008)
|
||
- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-config
|
||
file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in
|
||
how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those
|
||
tools should now always be synced.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.19.0 (1 September 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (29 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 1071 through 1074 to test automatic downgrading from HTTP 1.1
|
||
to HTTP 1.0 upon receiving a response from the HTTP server. Tests 1072
|
||
and 1073 are similar to test 1069 in that they involve the impossible
|
||
scenario of sending chunked data to a HTTP 1.0 server. All these fail
|
||
and are added to DISABLED.
|
||
|
||
- Added test 1075 to test --anyauth with Basic authentication.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
|
||
- When libcurl was doing a HTTP POST and the server would respond with
|
||
"Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
|
||
response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
|
||
would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
|
||
sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
|
||
|
||
Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
|
||
getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
|
||
"http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Dengminwen reported that libcurl would lock a (cookie) share twice (without
|
||
an unlock in between) for a certain case and that in fact works when using
|
||
regular windows mutexes but not with pthreads'! Locks should of course not
|
||
get locked again so this is now fixed.
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0422.html
|
||
|
||
- I'm abandoning the system with the web site mirrors (but keeping download
|
||
files bing mirrored) and thus I've changed the URL in the cookiejar header
|
||
to no longer use curlm.haxx.se but instead use the main site curl.haxx.se
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (27 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed test case 1065 by changing the handling of CURLOPT_UPLOAD to set
|
||
the HTTP method to GET (or HEAD) when given a value of 0.
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 1068 and 1069 to test a simple HTTP PUT from stdin. Test
|
||
case 1069 fails in a similar manner to test 1065 so is added to DISABLED.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (27 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fix generation of MS VC6 .dsp file to make it support compilation of either
|
||
dynamic (DLL) or static (LIB) libcurl libraries in debug and release modes.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (26 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed out of memory problems that caused torture test failures in tests
|
||
1021 and 1067.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (26 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added check and symbol definition for WIN32 file API usage in configure,
|
||
supporting configure's --disable-largefile option for WIN32 targets also.
|
||
|
||
- Non-configure systems which do not use config-win32.h configuration file,
|
||
and want to use the WIN32 file API, must define USE_WIN32_LARGE_FILES or
|
||
USE_WIN32_SMALL_FILES as appropriate in their own configuration files.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (23 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Running 'make ca-firefox' in the root build dir will now run the new
|
||
firefox-db2pem.sh conversion script that converts a local Firefox db of ca
|
||
certs into PEM format, suitable for use with a OpenSSL or GnuTLS built
|
||
libcurl.
|
||
|
||
- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a bug when doing proxy CONNECT with the multi
|
||
interface, and the proxy would send Connection: close during the
|
||
authentication phase. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2069047
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (22 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a problem when --dump-header - was given with more than one URL,
|
||
which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout
|
||
being closed. Added test case 1066 to verify. Also fixed a potential
|
||
problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload
|
||
when more than one URL is given.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (22 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Improved libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions integral data type
|
||
size and signedness handling.
|
||
|
||
- Internal adjustments to better select/differentiate when large/small file
|
||
support is provided using WIN32 functions directly.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (20 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quote
|
||
commands to the man pages.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Phil Pellouchoud pointed out that the windows version of libcurl had a
|
||
memory leak because it never called the OpenSSL function
|
||
CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() as it was supposed to. This was because of a
|
||
missing define in config-win32.h!
|
||
|
||
Gisle Vanem (18 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Updated lib/Makefile.Watcom with the option to use c-ares (USE_ARES=1).
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (18 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added test case 557 to verify libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions
|
||
formatting functionality when handling signed and unsigned longs, as well as
|
||
our curl_off_t data type.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Aug 2008)
|
||
- OpenSSl enabled NetWare builds are changed to use the 'openssl' subdirectory
|
||
when including the OpenSSL header files. This is the recommended setting, this
|
||
prevents the undesired inclusion of header files with the same name as those
|
||
of OpenSSL but which do not belong to the OpenSSL package. The visible change
|
||
from previously released libcurl versions is that now OpenSSl enabled NetWare
|
||
builds also define USE_OPENSSL in config files, and that OpenSSL header files
|
||
must be located in a subdirectory named 'openssl'.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (16 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Library internal only C preprocessor macros FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU
|
||
remain in use as internal curl_off_t print formatting strings for the internal
|
||
*printf functions which still cannot handle print formatting string directives
|
||
such as "I64d", "I64u", and others available on MSVC, MinGW, Intel's ICC, and
|
||
other DOS/Windows compilers.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (15 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added test case 1063 to test invalid long file ranges with file: URLs and
|
||
1064 to test multiple http PUTs.
|
||
|
||
- Added test case 1065 to test a PUT with a single file but two URLs. This
|
||
was discovered to be problematic while investigating an incident reported by
|
||
Von back in May. curl in this case doesn't include a Content-Length: or
|
||
Transfer-Encoding: chunked header which is illegal. This test case is
|
||
added to DISABLED until a solution is found.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (15 Aug 2008)
|
||
- C preprocessor macros used internally and equally available externally which
|
||
aid in the use of the curl_off_t data type are named: CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T,
|
||
CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T,
|
||
CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (13 Aug 2008)
|
||
- The size of long is a build time characteristic and as such it is now recorded
|
||
in curlbuild.h as CURL_SIZEOF_LONG. Definition now done from configure process
|
||
and in CVS curlbuild.h.dist for non-configure systems.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (12 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a buffer overflow problem in Curl_proxyCONNECT that could occur
|
||
when a server responded with long headers and data. Luckily, the buffer
|
||
overflowed into another unused buffer, so no actual harm was done.
|
||
Added test cases 1060 and 1061 to verify.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Andy Tsouladze fixed runtests.pl to not attempt to execute the stunnel
|
||
_directory_ if that happened to appear in the path!
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (12 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added macros for minimum-width signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer
|
||
constants CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C. The clever double helper macro
|
||
used internally to provide its functionality is thanks to Lars Nilsson.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (11 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a boundary condition error in ftp_readresp() whereby a non-terminal
|
||
line of a multiline FTP response whose last byte landed exactly at the end
|
||
of the BUFSIZE-length buffer would be treated as the terminal response
|
||
line. The following response code read in would then actually be the
|
||
end of the previous response line, and all responses from then on would
|
||
correspond to the wrong command. Test case 1062 verifies this.
|
||
|
||
- Stop closing a never-opened ftp socket.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042430
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows
|
||
SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static
|
||
variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading
|
||
has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.
|
||
|
||
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042440
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042440) with a patch. He identified a
|
||
problem when using NTLM over a proxy but the end-point does Basic, and then
|
||
libcurl would do wrong when the host sent "Connection: close" as the proxy's
|
||
NTLM state was erroneously cleared.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (11 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added missing signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer constant suffixes for
|
||
internal and external use. CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Fixed an uninitialized variable in multi_runsingle() that could cause a
|
||
request to prematurely end.
|
||
|
||
- Added test1059 to test the FTP proxy tunnel problem fixed July 11.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (7 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added curlbuild.h and curlrules.h header files to libcurl's public headers.
|
||
File curlbuild.h is a generated file on configure-capable systems. This is
|
||
a first step towards configure-based info in public headers. Currently only
|
||
used to provide support for a curl_off_t data type which is not gated to
|
||
off_t. Further details are documented inside these mentioned header files.
|
||
|
||
- Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol
|
||
results in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an
|
||
expansion which consists of a single double-quoted string as the result of
|
||
concatenating all of them.
|
||
|
||
- Skip data type check in DO_CURL_OFF_T_CHECK macro when argument is empty.
|
||
|
||
- Adjusted testcurl.pl to copy checked out curlbuild.h.dist as curlbuild.h
|
||
for non-configure targets when the host system doesn't run buildconf.bat.
|
||
|
||
- Prevent buildconf from removing 'Makefile' and 'missing' files. This would
|
||
blow away our CVS checked files 'missing' and 'hiper/Makefile'.
|
||
|
||
- Remove adjustment done to testcurl.pl to verify if change introduced by
|
||
Guenter Knauf in lib/Makefile.netware is enough to get the netware autobuilds
|
||
going again.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (5 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Changes done to buildconf script. Validate that autom4te and autoconf, as
|
||
well as aclocal and automake, versions match. Improve removal of previous
|
||
run generated files. Remove verbose debug logging of aclocal on Solaris.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (5 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Yehoshua Hershberg found a problem that would make libcurl re-use a
|
||
connection with the multi interface even if a previous use of it caused a
|
||
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION to get returned. I now make sure that failed
|
||
SSL connections properly close the connections.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Test cases 1051, 1052 and 1055 were added by Daniel Fandrich on July 30 and
|
||
proved how PUT and POST with a redirect could lead to a "hang" due to the
|
||
data stream not being rewound properly when it had to in order to get sent
|
||
properly (again) to the subsequent URL. This is now fixed and these test
|
||
cases are no longer disabled.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (4 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
|
||
Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. 2.62
|
||
version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE and other four preprocessor symbols
|
||
no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the traditional behaviour,
|
||
and an uniform one across autoconf versions AC_AIX is replaced with our
|
||
own internal macro CURL_CHECK_AIX_ALL_SOURCE.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Test case 1041 (added by Daniel Fandrich July 14th) proved a bug where PUT
|
||
with -C - sent garbage in the Content-Range: header. I fixed this problem by
|
||
making sure libcurl always sets the size of the _entire_ upload if an app
|
||
attemps to do resumed uploads since libcurl simply cannot know the size of
|
||
what is currently at the server end. Test 1041 is no longer disabled.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (2 Aug 2008)
|
||
- No longer test availability of the gdi32 library, nor use it for linking, even
|
||
when we have been doing this since revision 1.47 of configure.ac 4 years and
|
||
5 months ago when cross-compiling a Windows target. We actually don't use any
|
||
function from the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) related with drawing
|
||
or graphics-related operations.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (1 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn't
|
||
support this so it goes untested.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (1 Aug 2008)
|
||
- Configure process now checks if the preprocessor _REENTRANT symbol is already
|
||
defined. If it isn't currently defined a set of checks are performed to test
|
||
if its definition is required to make visible to the compiler a set of *_r
|
||
functions. Finally, if _REENTRANT is already defined or needed it takes care
|
||
of making adjustments necessary to ensure that it is defined equally for the
|
||
configure process tests and generated config file.
|
||
|
||
- Removed definition of CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER from acinclude.m4 it has
|
||
not been in use since revision 1.81 of configure.in 6 years, 9 months ago.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (31 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed parsing of an IPv6 proxy address to support a scope identifier,
|
||
as well as IPv4 addresses in IPv6 format. Also, better handle the case
|
||
of a malformatted IPv6 address (avoid empty and NULL strings).
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a problem with any FTP URL or any URLs containing an IPv6 address
|
||
being mangled when passed to proxies when CURLOPT_PORT is also set
|
||
(reported by Pramod Sharma).
|
||
|
||
- User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsed
|
||
incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
|
||
port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279
|
||
(was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (30 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted
|
||
the URL parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the
|
||
scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be
|
||
URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
|
||
"http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
|
||
|
||
- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a
|
||
true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or
|
||
less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that
|
||
would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost
|
||
all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start
|
||
of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.
|
||
|
||
- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variable
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (30 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added test cases 1052 through 1055 to test uploading data from files
|
||
during redirects. Test cases 1052 and 1055 show problems (maybe the same
|
||
root cause as 1051) and are disabled.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a couple of buffer overflows in the MS-DOS port of the curl tool.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (29 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed --use-ascii to properly convert text files on Symbian OS, MS-DOS
|
||
and OS/2.
|
||
|
||
- Added test case 1051 to test Location: following with PUT, as reported
|
||
by Ben Sutcliffe. The test when run manually shows a problem in curl
|
||
so it's disabled.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (28 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed display of the interface bind address in the trace output when it's
|
||
an IPv6 address.
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 1045 through 1049 as simple tests of --interface using the
|
||
localhost interface.
|
||
|
||
- Added test case 1050 to test --ftp-port with an IPv6 address
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2008)
|
||
- David Bau filed bug report #2026240 "CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE leads to buffer
|
||
overrun" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2026240) identifying two
|
||
problems, and providing the fix for them:
|
||
|
||
- CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is
|
||
designed for but paused _receiving_ of data!
|
||
|
||
- libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return
|
||
code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to
|
||
the server.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (26 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added test 1044 to test large file support in ftp with -I.
|
||
|
||
- Eliminate a unnecessary socket creation in Curl_getaddrinfo for an IPv4
|
||
address in an IPv6 capable libcurl.
|
||
|
||
- Added feature in runtests.pl to select tests based on key word.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (23 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Changed the long logfile elision code in runtests.pl to properly handle
|
||
lines ending in \r.
|
||
|
||
- Changed references to TRUE and FALSE in the curl_easy_setopt man page to
|
||
1 and zero, respectively, since TRUE and FALSE aren't part of the
|
||
libcurl API.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2008)
|
||
- I went over the curl_easy_setopt man page and replaced most references to
|
||
non-zero with the fixed value of 1. We should strive at making options
|
||
support '1' for enabling them mentioned explicitly, as that then will allow
|
||
us for to extend them in the future without breaking older programs.
|
||
|
||
Possibly we should even introduce a fancy define to use instead of '1' all
|
||
over...
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (21 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Use the sreadfrom() wrapper to replace recvfrom() in our code.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 Jul 2008)
|
||
- when recvfrom prototype uses a void pointer for arguments 2, 5 or 6 this will
|
||
now cause the definition, as appropriate, of RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2_IS_VOID,
|
||
RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5_IS_VOID or RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6_IS_VOID.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Jul 2008)
|
||
- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
|
||
to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (16 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Configure process now checks availability of recvfrom() socket function and
|
||
finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
|
||
for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
|
||
will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (15 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added description/comment to include paths used in several Makefile.am files.
|
||
Added automake option nostdinc to test servers makefile and modified libcurl
|
||
external headers include path for libtest programs.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (14 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added test1040 through test1043 to test -C - on HTTP. Test 1041 failed so
|
||
it's added to DISABLED.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (14 Jul 2008)
|
||
- HTTP_ONLY definition check in lib/setup.h is now done once that configuration
|
||
file has been included. In this way if symbol is defined in the config file
|
||
it will no longer be ignored. Removed inclusion of remaining system header
|
||
files from configuration files. Moved _REENTRANT definition up/earlier in
|
||
lib/setup.h
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (11 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added missing multiple header inclusion prevention definition for header
|
||
file content_encoding.h
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (11 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed test 553 to pass the torture test.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Daniel Fandrich found out we didn't pass on the user-agent properly when
|
||
doing "proxy-tunnels" with non-HTTP prototols and that was simply because
|
||
the code assumed the user-agent was only needed for HTTP.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (10 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Changed slightly the SFTP quote commands chmod, chown and chgrp to only
|
||
set the attribute that has changed instead of all possible ones. Hopefully,
|
||
this will solve the "Permission denied" problem that Nagarajan Sreenivasan
|
||
reported when setting some modes, but regardless, it saves a protocol
|
||
round trip in the chmod case.
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 1038 and 1039 to test Adrian Kreher's report that ftp
|
||
uploads with -C - didn't resume properly, but the tests pass.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Peter Lamberg filed bug report #2015126: "poll gives WSAEINVAL when POLLPRI
|
||
is set in fdset.events" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2015126) which
|
||
exactly pinpointed the problem only triggered on Windows Vista, provided
|
||
reference to docs and also a fix. There is much work behind Peter Lamberg's
|
||
excellent bug report. Thank You!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 1036 and 1037 to verify resumed ftp downloads with -C -
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Andreas Schuldei improved Phil Blundell's patch for IPv6 using c-ares, and I
|
||
edited it slightly. Now you should be able to use IPv6 addresses fine even
|
||
with libcurl built to use c-ares.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed an OOM handling problem that cause test 11 to fail the torture test.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (8 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Fixed test 554 to pass the torture test.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Added test cases 1034 & 1035 to test IDN name conversion failures.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Scott Barrett provided a test case for a segfault in the FTP code and the
|
||
fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using
|
||
CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but
|
||
switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being
|
||
cleared properly. Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it
|
||
verifies the fix.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xx
|
||
response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added
|
||
test case 1033 to verify.
|
||
|
||
- Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():
|
||
CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
|
||
handshake/connection is completed. Which typically is SSL, TLS or SSH and by
|
||
using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You
|
||
can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
|
||
'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (2 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Support Open Watcom C on Linux (as well as Windows).
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (2 Jul 2008)
|
||
- The previously committed fix for bug report #1999181 prevented using the
|
||
monotonic clock on any system without an always supported POSIX compliant
|
||
implementation. Now the POSIX compliant configuration check is removed and
|
||
will fallback to gettimeofday when the monotonic clock is unavailable at
|
||
run-time.
|
||
|
||
- The configure process will now halt when sed, grep, egrep or ar programs
|
||
can not be found among the directories in PATH variable.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (1 Jul 2008)
|
||
- Rolland Dudemaine provided fixes to get libcurl to build for the INTEGRITY
|
||
operating system.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (30 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Made the internal printf() support %llu properly to print unsigned long longs.
|
||
|
||
- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range code
|
||
which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use
|
||
unsigned.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (29 Jun 2008)
|
||
- John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on
|
||
some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
|
||
that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
|
||
macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
|
||
monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
|
||
with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (25 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Honour --stderr with the -v option.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a file handle leak in the command line client if more than one
|
||
--stderr option was given.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (22 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567
|
||
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that
|
||
libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with
|
||
--head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to
|
||
verify.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (21 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Stopped using ranges in scanf character sequences (e.g. %[a-z]) since that
|
||
is not ANSI C, just a common extension. This caused problems on
|
||
at least Open Watcom C.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
|
||
enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
|
||
configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
|
||
if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (20 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to
|
||
handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
|
||
recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
|
||
plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
|
||
that it made things work for him again.
|
||
|
||
- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy
|
||
crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
|
||
internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
|
||
function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or
|
||
SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh-
|
||
related #ifdefs in the code for readability.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previously caused
|
||
libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
|
||
resolve done by c-ares is completed) and then immediately re-created and put
|
||
to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
|
||
"watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
|
||
tell the app about this close/re-create case.
|
||
|
||
- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the
|
||
multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for,
|
||
detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already
|
||
in use!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (18 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Added SSH failure test cases 628-632
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a memory leak in the command-line tool that caused a valgrind error.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (18 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer
|
||
always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the
|
||
multi interface is used. Original bug report:
|
||
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (18 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Internal configure script improvement. No longer break out of shell "for"
|
||
statements from inside AC_FOO_IFELSE macros, otherwise temporary macro files
|
||
are not properly removed.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (12 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Jun 2008)
|
||
- I did a cleanup of the internal generic SSL layer and how the various SSL
|
||
libraries are supported. Starting now, each underlying SSL library support
|
||
code does a set of defines for the 16 functions the generic layer (sslgen.c)
|
||
uses (all these new function defines use the prefix "curlssl_"). This
|
||
greatly simplified the generic layer in readability by involving much less
|
||
#ifdefs and other preprocessor stuff and should make it easier for people to
|
||
make libcurl work with new SSL libraries.
|
||
|
||
Hopefully I can later on document these 16 functions somewhat as well.
|
||
|
||
I also made most of the internal SSL-dependent functions (using Curl_ssl_
|
||
prefix) #defined to nothing when no SSL support is requested - previously
|
||
they would unnecessarily call mostly empty functions.
|
||
|
||
I've built libcurl with OpenSSL and GnuTLS and without SSL to test this and
|
||
I've also tried building with NSS but the NSS support is a mystery to me and
|
||
I failed to build libcurl with the NSS libraries I have installed. We really
|
||
should A) improve our configure script to detect unsuitable NSS versions
|
||
already at configure time and B) document our requirements better for the
|
||
SSL libraries.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2008)
|
||
- I made the OpenSSL code build again with OpenSSL 0.9.6. The CRLFILE
|
||
functionality killed it due to its unconditional use of
|
||
X509_STORE_set_flags...
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Due to the three new libcurl changes and the massive command line option
|
||
change I decided we'll mark it by bumping the next release number to 7.19.0!
|
||
|
||
- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!
|
||
All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
|
||
now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
|
||
times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
|
||
to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
|
||
verbose mode you use --no-verbose!
|
||
|
||
- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
|
||
given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
|
||
for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
|
||
or --no-remote-name.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (6 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, for
|
||
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
|
||
|
||
- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_CRLFILE, for
|
||
OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
|
||
|
||
- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable with
|
||
curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently
|
||
used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
|
||
implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.18.2 (4 June 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a problem where telnet data would be lost if an EWOULDBLOCK
|
||
condition were encountered.
|
||
|
||
Marty Kuhrt (1 Jun 2008)
|
||
- Updated main.c to return CURLE_OK if PARAM_HELP_REQUESTED was returned
|
||
from getparameter instead of CURLE_FAILED_INIT. No point in returning
|
||
an error if --help or --version were requested.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 May 2008)
|
||
- Emil Romanus found a problem and helped me repeat it. It occured when using
|
||
the curl_multi_socket() API with HTTP pipelining enabled and could lead to
|
||
the pipeline basically stalling for a very long period of time until it took
|
||
off again.
|
||
|
||
- Jeff Weber reported memory leaks with aborted SCP and SFTP transfers and
|
||
provided excellent repeat recipes. I fixed the cases I managed to reproduce
|
||
but Jeff still got some (SCP) problems even after these fixes:
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0342.html
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (26 May 2008)
|
||
- Bug report #1973352 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1973352) identified
|
||
how the HTTP redirect following code didn't properly follow to a new URL if
|
||
the new url was but a query string such as "Location: ?moo=foo". Test case
|
||
1031 was added to verify this fix.
|
||
|
||
- Andreas Faerber and Scott McCreary made (lib)curl build for the Haiku OS.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (26 May 2008)
|
||
- David Rosenstrauch reported that header files spnegohelp.h and
|
||
openssl/objects.h were needed to compile SPNEGO support.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2008)
|
||
- Made sure to pass longs in to curl_easy_setopt where necessary in the
|
||
example programs and libtest code.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2008)
|
||
- When trying to repeat a multi interface problem I fell over a few multi
|
||
interface problems:
|
||
|
||
o with pipelining disabled, the state should never be set to WAITDO but
|
||
rather go straight to DO
|
||
|
||
o we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket
|
||
at all to wait for, with the effect that libcurl calls the socket callback
|
||
(when curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be
|
||
added again within very shortly)
|
||
|
||
o when in DO and DOING states, the HTTP and HTTPS protocol handler functions
|
||
didn't return that the socket should be waited for writing, but instead it
|
||
was treated as if no socket was needing monitoring so again REMOVE was
|
||
called prematurely.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (13 May 2008)
|
||
- Added test case 556 that uses curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv()
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 May 2008)
|
||
- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send
|
||
and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()
|
||
and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to
|
||
show how they can be used.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (9 May 2008)
|
||
- Internal time differences now use monotonic time source if available.
|
||
This also implies the removal of the winmm.lib dependency for WIN32.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 May 2008)
|
||
- Stefan Krause reported a busy-looping case when using the multi interface
|
||
and doing CONNECT to a proxy. The app would then busy-loop until the proxy
|
||
completed its response.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (9 May 2008)
|
||
- Make Curl_write and it's callees accept a const pointer, in preparation
|
||
of tetetest's patch for curl_easy_send()
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2008)
|
||
- Liam Healy filed the debian bug report #480044
|
||
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480044) identifying a
|
||
segfault when using krb5 ftp, but the krb4 code had the same problem.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (7 May 2008)
|
||
- Christopher Palow provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the
|
||
use of microsecond resolution keys for internal splay trees.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2008)
|
||
- Yuriy Sosov pointed out a configure fix for detecting c-ares when that is
|
||
built debug-enabled.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 May 2008)
|
||
- Ben Van Hof filed bug report #1945240: "libcurl sometimes sends body twice
|
||
when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240).
|
||
The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it
|
||
would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the
|
||
sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second.
|
||
Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 May 2008)
|
||
- Jean-Francois Bertrand reported a libcurl crash with CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY
|
||
since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now
|
||
switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is
|
||
to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that.
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0011.html
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (1 May 2008)
|
||
- Bart Whiteley provided a patch that made libcurl work properly when an app
|
||
uses the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION callback to create a unix domain socket
|
||
to a http server.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2008)
|
||
- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done on
|
||
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
|
||
introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
|
||
extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
|
||
then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
|
||
suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
|
||
from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (29 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Improved easy interface resolving timeout handling in c-ares enabled builds
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (28 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added test 1028 to test an HTTP redirect to a FTP URL.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Norbert Frese filed bug report #1951588: "Problem with curlftpfs and
|
||
libcurl" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1951588) which seems to be an
|
||
identical report to what Denis Golovan reported in
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html The FTP code didn't reset the
|
||
user/password pointers properly even though there might've been a new
|
||
struct/cconnection getting used.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Reverted back to use automake 1.9.6 in the next release (from automake
|
||
1.10.1) since it *still* suffers from Solaris-related bugs. Our previous
|
||
automake 1.10 problem was reported in bug #1701360
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1701360) and this recent problem was
|
||
bug #1944825 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1944825). I have not
|
||
personally approached the automake team about either one of these but I
|
||
figure we need a Solaris 10 guy to do it!
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (25 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added 'timeout' and 'delay' attributes support for the test harness
|
||
<command> subsection.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (24 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Made --stderr able to redirect all stderr messages.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (23 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Improve synchronization between test harness runtests.pl script
|
||
and test harness servers to minimize risk of false test failures.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (22 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added support for running on Symbian OS.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (18 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added test cases 1026 and 1027 to do some rudimentary tests on the --manual
|
||
and --help options.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (14 Apr 2008)
|
||
- allow disabling the typechecker by defining CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK, as
|
||
discussed in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-04/0291.html
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (14 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Stefan Krause reported a case where the OpenSSL handshake phase wasn't
|
||
properly acknowledging the timeout values, like if you pulled the network
|
||
plug in the midst of it.
|
||
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a second case of not checking the malloc()
|
||
return code in the Negotiate code.
|
||
|
||
- Sandor Feldi reported bug #1942022
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1942022) pointing out a mistake in the
|
||
lib/Makefile.vc[68] makefiles' release-ssl-dll target.
|
||
|
||
- Brock Noland reported that curl behaved differently depending on which order
|
||
you used -i and -I.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (12 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a case where malloc() was called but
|
||
was not checked for a NULL return, in the Negotiate code.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (9 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added test cases 1024 & 1025 to test a scenario similar to the one reported
|
||
by Ben Combee where libcurl would send the wrong cookie to a redirected
|
||
server. libcurl was doing the right thing in these test cases.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (7 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good:
|
||
Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are
|
||
available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available.
|
||
|
||
Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if
|
||
GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should
|
||
avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (5 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Alexey Simak fixed curl_easy_reset() to reset the max redirect limit properly
|
||
|
||
- Based on the Debian bug report #474224 that complained about the FTP error
|
||
message when libcurl doesn't get a 220 back immediately on connect, I now
|
||
changed it to be more specific on what the problem is. Also worth noticing:
|
||
while the bug report contains an example where the response is:
|
||
|
||
421 There are too many connected users, please try again later
|
||
|
||
we cannot assume that the error message will always be this readable nor
|
||
that it fits within a particular boundary etc.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Added test627 to test SFTP with CURLOPT_NOBODY
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (3 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to FALSE will now switch the HTTP request method to
|
||
GET simply because previously when you set CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE first and
|
||
then FALSE you'd end up in a broken state where a HTTP request would do a
|
||
HEAD by still act a lot like for a GET and hang waiting for the content etc.
|
||
|
||
- Scott Barrett added support for CURLOPT_NOBODY over SFTP
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (3 Apr 2008)
|
||
- Made sure that curl_global_init is called in all the multithreaded
|
||
example programs.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (31 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Removed the generated ca-bundle.h file. The verbatim value of $ca and
|
||
$capath is known to configure, so it can be defined in config.h instead.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (31 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow an
|
||
application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note
|
||
that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the
|
||
stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case
|
||
554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (30 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Changed the makefile so the doc/examples/ programs are never built in a
|
||
normal build/install (only with the 'make check' target), so that a
|
||
build failure in the examples isn't fatal.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.18.1 (30 March 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Stephen Collyer pointed out that configure --with-libssh2 without a given
|
||
path didn't work properly.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (27 Mar 2008)
|
||
- As found out and reported by Dan Petitt, libcurl didn't show progress/call
|
||
the progress callback for the first (potentially huge) piece of body data
|
||
sent together with the POST request headers in the initial send().
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (25 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Made setting the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION option return a failure in case
|
||
libcurl wasn't built to use OpenSSL as that is a prerequisite for this
|
||
option to function!
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (22 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Fixed the problem with doing a zero byte SCP transfer, verified with test
|
||
case 617 (which was added by Daniel Fandrich 5 Mar 2008).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (20 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Fixed a problem where curl-config --protocols could erroneously show LDAPS
|
||
support when curl didn't even have regular LDAP support. It looks like
|
||
this could happen when the --enable-ldaps configure switch is given but
|
||
configure couldn't find the LDAP headers or libraries.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (20 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added --with-ca-path=DIRECTORY configure option to use an openSSL CApath by
|
||
default instead of a ca bundle. The configure script will also look for a
|
||
ca path if no ca bundle is found and no option given.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed detection of previously installed curl-ca-bundle.crt
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (18 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added test 626 to reproduce an infinite loop when given an invalid
|
||
SFTP quote command reported by Vincent Le Normand, and fixed it.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (18 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added curl_easy_getinfo typechecker.
|
||
|
||
- Added macros for curl_share_setopt and curl_multi_setopt to check at least
|
||
the correct number of arguments.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (13 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 622-625 to test SFTP/SCP uploads. Test 625 was an attempt to
|
||
reproduce the --ftp-create-dirs problem reported by Brian Ulm, but that
|
||
seems to need a call curl_easy_reset() which this test case doesn't do.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Brian Ulm figured out that if you did an SFTP upload with
|
||
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS to create a directory, and then re-used the
|
||
handle and uploaded another file to another directory that needed to be
|
||
created, the second upload would fail. Another case of a state variable that
|
||
wasn't properly reset between requests.
|
||
|
||
- I rewrote the 100-continue code to use a single state variable instead of
|
||
the previous two ones. I think it made the logic somewhat clearer.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Popov filed bug report #1911069
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1911069) that identified a race
|
||
condition in the name resolver code when the DNS cache is shared between
|
||
multiple easy handles, each running in simultaneous threads that could cause
|
||
crashes.
|
||
|
||
- Added a macro for curl_easy_setopt() that accepts three arguments and simply
|
||
does nothing with them, just to make sure libcurl users always use three
|
||
arguments to this function. Due to its use of ... for the third argument, it
|
||
is otherwise hard to detect abuse.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (11 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added a type checking macro for curl_easy_setopt(), needs gcc-4.3 and only
|
||
works in C mode atm (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0267.html ,
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0292.html )
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (10 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 618-621 to test SFTP/SCP transfers of more than one file
|
||
(test 620 tests the just-fixed problem reported by Brian Ulm).
|
||
|
||
Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Brian Ulm reported a crash when doing a second SFTP transfer on a re-used
|
||
easy handle if curl_easy_reset() was used between them. I fixed it and Brian
|
||
verified that it cured his problem.
|
||
|
||
- Brian Ulm reported that if you first tried to download a non-existing SFTP
|
||
file and then fetched an existing one and re-used the handle, libcurl would
|
||
still report the second one as non-existing as well! I fixed it and Brian
|
||
verified that it cured his problem.
|
||
|
||
Michal Marek (6 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Fix the gssapi configure check to detect newer MIT Kerberos (patch by
|
||
Michael Calmer)
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (6 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Fix regression on Curl_socket_ready() and Curl_poll() so that these will
|
||
again fail on select/poll errors different than EINTR.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Fixed the test harness so it will write out zero-length data files.
|
||
|
||
- Added tests 616 and 617 to see how SFTP and SCP cope with zero-length
|
||
files, as questioned by Mike Protts. SFTP does for me but SCP doesn't
|
||
so test 617 is disabled for now.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (4 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Mike Protts brought a patch that makes resumed transfers work with SFTP.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 Mar 2008)
|
||
- Anatoli Tubman found and fixed a crash with Negotiate authentication used on
|
||
a re-used connection where both requests used Negotiate.
|
||
|
||
Guenter Knauf (26 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Kaspar Brand provided a patch to support server name indication (RFC 4366).
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Kaspar Brand made GnuTLS-built libcurl properly acknowledge the option that
|
||
forces it to prefer SSLv3.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Sam Listopad provided a patch in feature-request #1900014
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/bug/feature.cgi?id=1900014 that makes libcurl (built to
|
||
use OpenSSL) support a full chain of certificates in a given PKCS12
|
||
certificate.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Georg Lippitsch made the src/Makefile.vc6 makefile use the same memory model
|
||
options as the lib/Makefile.vc6 already did.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Zmey Petroff found a crash when libcurl accessed a NULL pointer, which
|
||
happened if you set the connection cache size to 1 and for example failed to
|
||
login to an FTP site. Bug report #1896698
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1896698)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (20 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Fixed test case 405 to not fail when libcurl is built with GnuTLS
|
||
|
||
- Based on initial work done by Gautam Kachroo to address a bug, we now keep
|
||
better control at the exact state of the connection's SSL status so that we
|
||
know exactly when it has completed the SSL negotiation or not so that there
|
||
won't be accidental re-uses of connections that are wrongly believed to be
|
||
in SSL-completed-negotiate state.
|
||
|
||
- We no longer support setting the CURLOPT_URL option from inside a callback
|
||
such as the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION one treat that as if it was a Location:
|
||
following. The patch that introduced this feature was done for 7.11.0, but
|
||
this code and functionality has been broken since about 7.15.4 (March 2006)
|
||
with the introduction of non-blocking OpenSSL "connects".
|
||
|
||
It was a hack to begin with and since it doesn't work and hasn't worked
|
||
correctly for a long time and nobody has even noticed, I consider it a very
|
||
suitable subject for plain removal. And so it was done.
|
||
|
||
Guenter Knauf (19 Feb 2008)
|
||
- We do no longer support SSLv2 by default since it has known flaws.
|
||
Kaspar Brand provided a patch for all supported SSL toolkits.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (19 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Added test309 to test HTTP redirect to HTTPS URL
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 Feb 2008)
|
||
- We're no longer providing a very old ca-bundle in the curl tarball. You can
|
||
get a fresh one downloaded and created with 'make ca-bundle' or you can get
|
||
one from here => http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html if you want a fresh
|
||
new one extracted from Mozilla's recent list of ca certs.
|
||
|
||
The configure option --with-ca-bundle now lets you specify what file to use
|
||
as default ca bundle for your build. If not specified, the configure script
|
||
will check a few known standard places for a global ca cert to use.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Jerome Muffat-Meridol helped me fix Curl_done() to close the current
|
||
connection by force when it was called before the entire request is
|
||
completed, simply because we can't know if the connection really can be
|
||
re-used safely at that point.
|
||
|
||
- Based on the same debugging logic, I've also made Curl_http_done() not
|
||
return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING if called "prematurely". This should have no real
|
||
effect to anything but the code makes more sense like this.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (15 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Made the gnutls code path not even try to get the server cert if no peer
|
||
verification is requested. Previously it would even return failure if gnutls
|
||
failed to get the server cert even though no verification was asked for.
|
||
Public server showing the problem: https://www.net222.caisse-epargne.fr
|
||
|
||
- Fix my Curl_timeleft() leftover mistake in the gnutls code
|
||
|
||
- Pooyan McSporran found and fixed a flaw where you first would do a normal
|
||
http request and then you'd reuse the handle and replace the Accept: header,
|
||
as then libcurl would send two Accept: headers!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (11 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Yang Tse pointed out a few remaining quirks from my timeout refactoring from
|
||
Feb 7 that didn't abort properly on timeouts. These are actually old
|
||
problems but now they should be fixed.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Bug report #1888932 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1888932) points out
|
||
and provides test program that demonstrates that libcurl might not set error
|
||
description message for error CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST for Windows threaded
|
||
name resolver builds. Fixed now.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (8 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Added key words to all SSL-using tests so they can be skipped if necessary.
|
||
Removed a few unnecessary requires SSL statements.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Mike Hommey filed and fixed bug report #1889856
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1889856): When using the gnutls ssl
|
||
layer, cleaning-up and reinitializing curl ends up with https requests
|
||
failing with "ASN1 parser: Element was not found" errors. Obviously a
|
||
regression added in 7.16.3.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (8 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Improved test harness SCP/SFTP start up server verification, doing a real
|
||
connection to the sftp server, authenticating and running a simple sftp
|
||
pwd command using the test harness generated configuration and key files.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Feb 2008)
|
||
- G<>nter Knauf added lib/mk-ca-bundle.pl which gets the Firefox ca bundle and
|
||
creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The
|
||
recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (7 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Added tests 1022 and 1023 to validate output of curl-config --version and
|
||
--vernum
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (7 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Refactored a lot of timeout code into a few functions in an attempt to make
|
||
them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone
|
||
and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (6 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Fix an issue in strdup replacement function when dealing with absolutely
|
||
huge strings. Only systems without a standard strdup would be affected.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (3 Feb 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin cleaned up the pipelining code and removed the need for and
|
||
use of the "is_in_pipeline" struct field.
|
||
|
||
- I wrote up and added the threaded-ssl.c example source code that shows how
|
||
to do multi-threaded downloads of HTTPS files with a libcurl that is built
|
||
with OpenSSL. It uses pthreads for the threading.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (31 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Niklas Angebrand made the cookie support in libcurl properly deal with the
|
||
"HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by
|
||
Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly
|
||
is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to
|
||
cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars.
|
||
|
||
I modified test case 31 and 46 to also do some basic HttpOnly testing.
|
||
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin moved several struct fields from the connectdata struct to
|
||
the SingleRequest one to make pipelining better. It is a bit tricky to keep
|
||
them in the right place, to keep things related to the actual request or to
|
||
the actual connection in the right place.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin fixed Curl_done() for pipelining, as it could previously
|
||
crash!
|
||
|
||
- Michal Marek fixed minor mistake in test case 553 that prevented it from
|
||
working on other IP-addresses or port numbers.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.18.0 (28 January 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (27 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin: In "real world" testing I found more bugs in
|
||
pipelining. Broken connection is not restored and we get into infinite
|
||
loop. It happens because of wrong is_in_pipeline values.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Kevin Reed filed bug report #1879375
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl
|
||
got lost in this scenario: proxy tunnel (or HTTPS over proxy), ask to do any
|
||
proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then
|
||
closes the connection after that initial informational response.
|
||
|
||
libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and
|
||
continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will
|
||
now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked
|
||
for, and will thus retry the connection and continue from there.
|
||
|
||
- I made the progress callback get called properly during proxy CONNECT.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Igor Franchuk pointed out that CURLOPT_COOKIELIST set to "ALL" leaked
|
||
memory, and so did "SESS". Fixed now.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (22 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Check poll.h at configuration time, and use it when sys/poll.h unavailable
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin removed the cancelled state for pipelining, as we agreed
|
||
that it is bad anyway. Starting now, removing a handle that is in used in a
|
||
pipeline will break the pipeline - it'll be set back up again but still...
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (21 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Disable ldap support for cygwin builds, since it breaks whole build process.
|
||
Fixing it will affect other platforms, so it is postponed for another release.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Lau Hang Kin found and fixed a problem with the multi interface when doing
|
||
CONNECT over a proxy. curl_multi_fdset() didn't report back the socket
|
||
properly during that state, due to a missing case in the switch in the
|
||
multi_getsock() function.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Don't abort tests 518 and 537 when unable to raise the open-file soft limit.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Nathan Coulter's patch that makes runtests.pl respect the PATH when figuring
|
||
out what valgrind to run.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Improved handling of out of memory in the command line tool that afected
|
||
data url encoded HTTP POSTs when reading it from a file.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin worked a lot on improving the HTTP Pipelining support that
|
||
previously had a number of flaws, perhaps most notably when an application
|
||
fired up N transfers at once as then they wouldn't pipeline at all that
|
||
nicely as anyone would think... Test case 530 was also updated to take the
|
||
improved functionality into account.
|
||
|
||
- Calls to Curl_failf() are not supposed to provide a trailing newline as the
|
||
function itself adds that. Fixed on 50 or something strings!

|
||
- I made the torture test on test 530 go through. This was actually due to
|
||
silly code left from when we switched to let the multi handle "hold" the dns
|
||
cache when using the multi interface... Of course this only triggered when a
|
||
certain function call returned error at the correct moment.

|

- Joe Malicki filed bug report #1871269
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1871269) and we could fix his hang-
|
||
problem that occurred when doing a large HTTP POST request with the
|
||
response-body read from a callback.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 Jan 2008)
|
||
- I re-arranged the curl --help output. All the options are now sorted on
|
||
their long option names and all descriptions are one-liners.
|
||
|
||
- Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the
|
||
--keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took
|
||
the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to
|
||
no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in
|
||
these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new
|
||
option.

|
||
- Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way it
|
||
already worked for FTP:// URLs.
|
||
|
||
- I made the curl tool switch from using CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION to now use the
|
||
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved
|
||
performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last
|
||
few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch
|
||
the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so
|
||
that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that)
|
||
on systems that offer support for that.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (10 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Michal Marek made curl-config --libs not include /usr/lib64 in the output
|
||
(it already before skipped /usr/lib). /usr/lib64 is the default library
|
||
directory on many 64bit systems and it's unlikely that anyone would use the
|
||
path privately on systems where it's not.
|
||
|
||
- Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow
|
||
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
|
||
doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
|
||
remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
|
||
and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
|
||
begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,
|
||
I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get
|
||
used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
|
||
doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
|
||
|
||
- Nikitinskit Dmitriy filed bug report #1868255
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies
|
||
and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional
|
||
spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read
|
||
and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or
|
||
writing get paused.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (6 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that
|
||
libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used
|
||
fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the
|
||
parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5
|
||
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
|
||
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
|
||
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
|
||
curl_easy_setopt() option.
|
||
|
||
The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
|
||
proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
|
||
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (4 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the
|
||
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
|
||
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
|
||
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (3 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Modified test harness to allow SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4 tests to run with
|
||
OpenSSH 2.9.9, SunSSH 1.0 or later versions. SOCKS5 tests need OpenSSH
|
||
3.7, SunSSH 1.0 or later.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 Jan 2008)
|
||
- I fixed two cases of missing return code checks when handling chunked
|
||
decoding where a write error (or abort return from a callback) didn't stop
|
||
libcurl's processing.
|
||
|
||
- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead
|
||
made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
|
||
definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
|
||
could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
|
||
think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
|
||
course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
|
||
headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
|
||
definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of
|
||
cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type
|
||
seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.
|
||
|
||
- Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies,
|
||
which is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy
|
||
instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).
|
||
--socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can
|
||
now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an int
|
||
function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care
|
||
about adding some better comments for the generated code.
