- Dominick Meglio reported that using CURLOPT_FILETIME when transferring a FTP
file got a Last-Modified: header written to the data stream, corrupting the
actual data. This was because some conditions from the previous FTP code was
not properly brought into the new FTP code. I fixed and I added test case
520 to verify. (This bug was introduced in 7.13.1)
- Dan Fandrich fixed the configure --with-zlib option to always consider the
given path before any standard paths.
Daniel (6 March 2005)
- Randy McMurchy was the first to report that valgrind.pm was missing from the
release archive and thus 'make test' fails.

- Dan Fandrich added HAVE_FTRUNCATE to several config-*.h files.

- Added test case 235 that makes a resumed upload of a file that isn't present
on the remote side. This then converts the operation to an ordinary STOR
upload. This was requested/pointed out by Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams.
It also proved (and I fixed) a bug in the newly rewritten ftp code (and
present in the 7.13.1 release) when trying to resume an upload and the
servers returns an error to the SIZE command. libcurl then loops and sends
SIZE commands infinitely.
- Dan Fandrich fixed a SSL problem introduced on February 9th that made
libcurl attempt to load the whole random file to seed the PRNG. This is
really bad since this turns out to be using /dev/urandom at times...
Daniel (4 March 2005)
- Dave Dribin made it possible to set CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE to "" to activate
the cookie "engine" without having to provide an empty or non-existing file.
- Rene Rebe fixed a -# crash when more data than expected was retrieved.
Daniel (22 February 2005)
- NTLM and ftp-krb4 buffer overflow fixed, as reported here:
http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/391042 and the CAN report here:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-0490
If these security guys were serious, we'd been notified in advance and we
could've saved a few of you a little surprise, but now we weren't.

- Ralph Mitchell reported a flaw when you used a proxy with auth, and you
requested data from a host and then followed a redirect to another
host. libcurl then didn't use the proxy-auth properly in the second request,
due to the host-only check for original host name wrongly being extended to
the proxy auth as well. Added test case 233 to verify the flaw and that the
fix removed the problem.
Daniel (18 February 2005)
- Mike Dobbs reported a mingw build failure due to the lack of
BUILDING_LIBCURL being defined when libcurl is built. Now this is defined by
configure when mingw is used.
Daniel (17 February 2005)
- David in bug report #1124588 found and fixed a socket leak when libcurl
didn't close the socket properly when returning error due to failing
localbind

- Christopher R. Palmer reported a problem with HTTP-POSTing using "anyauth"
that picks NTLM. Thanks to David Byron letting me test NTLM against his
servers, I could quickly repeat and fix the problem. It turned out to be:
When libcurl POSTs without knowing/using an authentication and it gets back
a list of types from which it picks NTLM, it needs to either continue
sending its data if it keeps the connection alive, or not send the data but
close the connection. Then do the first step in the NTLM auth. libcurl
didn't send the data nor close the connection but simply read the
response-body and then sent the first negotiation step. Which then failed
miserably of course. The fixed version forces a connection if there is more
than 2000 bytes left to send.
Daniel (14 February 2005)
- The configure script didn't check for ENGINE_load_builtin_engines() so it
was never used.
Daniel (11 February 2005)
- Removed all uses of strftime() since it uses the localised version of the
week day names and month names and servers don't like that.
Daniel (10 February 2005)
- Now the test script disables valgrind-testing when the test suite runs if
libcurl is built shared. Otherwise valgrind only tests the shell that runs
the wrapper-script named 'curl' that is a front-end to curl in this case.
This should also fix the huge amount of reports of false positives when
valgrind has identified leaks in (ba)sh and not in curl and people report
that as curl bugs. Bug report #1116672 is one example.
Also, the valgrind report parser has been adapted to check that at least one
of the sources in a stack strace is one of (lib)curl's source files or
otherwise it will not consider the problem to concern (lib)curl.
- Marty Kuhrt streamlined the VMS build.
- David Byron fixed his SSL problems, initially mentioned here:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2005-01/0240.html. It turned out we didn't use
SSL_pending() as we should.
- Converted lots of FTP code to a statemachine, so that the multi interface
doesn't block while communicating commands-responses with an FTP server.
I've added a comment like BLOCKING in the code on all spots I could find
where we still have blocking operations. When we change curl_easy_perform()
to use the multi interface, we'll also be able to simplify the code since
there will only be one "internal interface".
While doing this, I've now made CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED separate from the
new CURLE_LOGIN_DENIED. The first one is now access denied to a function,
like changing directory or retrieving a file, while the second means that we
were denied login.
The CVS tag 'before_ftp_statemachine' was set just before this went in, in
case of future need.
- Gisle made the DICT code send CRLF and not just LF as the spec says so.
Daniel (8 February 2005)
- Gisle fixed problems when libcurl runs out of memory, and worked on making
sure the proper error code is returned for those occations.
Daniel (7 February 2005)
- Maruko pointed out a problem with inflate decompressing exactly 64K
contents.
Daniel (5 February 2005)
- Eric Vergnaud found a use of an uninitialised variable in the ftp when doing
PORT on ipv6-enabled hosts.
- David Byron pointed out we could use BUFSIZE to read data (in
lib/transfer.c) instead of using BUFSIZE -1.
Version 7.13.0 (1 February 2005)
Daniel (31 January 2005)
- Added Lars Nilsson's htmltitle.cc example
Daniel (30 January 2005)
- Fixed a memory leak when using the multi interface and the DO operation
failed (as in test case 205).
- Fixed a valgrind warning for file:// operations.
- Fixed a valgrind report in the url globbing code for the curl command line
tool.
- Bugfixed the parser that scans the valgrind report outputs (in runtests.pl).
I noticed that it previously didn't detect and report the "Conditional jump
or move depends on uninitialised value(s)" error. When I fixed this, I
caught a few curl bugs with it. And then I had to spend time to make the
test suite IGNORE these errors when OpenSSL is used since it produce massive
amounts of valgrind warnings (but only of the "Conditional..." kind it
seems). So, if a test that requires SSL is run, it ignores the
"Conditional..." errors, and you'll get a "valgrind PARTIAL" output instead
of "valgrind OK".

- Using the multi interface, and doing a requsted a re-used connection that
gets closed just after the request has been sent failed and did not re-issue
a request on a fresh reconnect like the easy interface did. Now it does!
- Define CURL_MULTIEASY when building libcurl (lib/easy.c to be exact), to use
my new curl_easy_perform() that uses the multi interface to run the
request. It is a great testbed for the multi interface and I believe we
shall do it this way for real in the future when we have a successor to
curl_multi_fdset(). I've used this approach to detect and fix several of the
recent multi-interfaces issues.
- Adjusted the KNOWN_BUGS #17 fix a bit more since the FTP code also did some
bad assumptions.

- multi interface: when a request is denied due to "Maximum redirects
followed" libcurl leaked the last Location: URL.

- Connect failures with the multi interface was often returned as "connect()
timed out" even though the reason was different.

Daniel (28 January 2005)
- KNOWN_BUGS #17 fixed. A DNS cache entry may not remain locked between two
curl_easy_perform() invokes. It was previously unlocked at disconnect, which
could mean that it remained locked between multiple transfers. The DNS cache
may not live as long as the connection cache does, as they are separate.
To deal with the lack of DNS (host address) data availability in re-used
connections, libcurl now keeps a copy of the IP adress as a string, to be
Loading full blame...
