Daniel (16 July)
- Cris Bailiff's bug report 768275 pointed out that using Basic auth with
wrong user+password caused an endless loop. Fixed now. He also found out that
we didn't properly authenticate connections with NTLM. Fixed too.
- Dan Winship provided fixes for the NTLM code.
Daniel (5 July)
- Doug Kaufman provided additional fixes for the DOS port.
Daniel (4 July)
- Rick Richardson pointed out that using setvbuf() to achive non-buffering
on output is no-good for SCO Xenix and other unixes. We switched over to
using plain fflush() instead.
- Dan Grayson pointed out that we set the CURL_CA_BUNDLE variable wrongly in
the configure script, and I had to change some build stuff to make the new
way work.
- Peter Sylvester's patch was applied that introduces the following:
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION to set a callback that gets called with the
OpenSSL's ssl_ctx pointer passed in and allow a callback to act on it. If
anything but CURLE_OK is returned, that will also be returned by libcurl
all the way back. If this function changes the CURLOPT_URL, libcurl will
detect this and instead go use the new URL.
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA is a pointer you set to get passed to the callback set
with CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION.
Daniel (1 July)
- David Byron provided a patch that allows a client to quit the test suite's
HTTP server.
- Gisle Vanem found and patched a lib handle leak in the ldap code.

Daniel (25 June)
- More NTLM-improvements. Less code. Smaller packets back and forth.
Daniel (23 June)
- Eric Glass provided us with a better doc on NTLM details, and I added more
comments and clarified the current code more. Using the new knowledge, we
should be able to make the NTLM stuff work even better.
Eric's original URL: http://davenport.sourceforge.net/ntlm.html
Version stored and provided at curl site: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/ntlm.html
- Fixed the minor compile problems pre3 had if built without GSSAPI and/or
SSL.
Version 7.10.6-pre3 (19 June 2003)
Daniel (19 June)
- Made curl use curl_free() on memory returned by curl_getenv(), as this
should theoreticly make it possibly to build and run curl and libcurl with
different memory allocation schemes with no problems.
Daniel (18 June)
- Improved the mkhelp.pl a bit further to make a nicer hugehelp text and to
include a better comment in the top for the gzip compressed version.
Daniel (17 June)
- CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH is now a bitmask, in which you set which authentication
type(s) you want to use. If more than one is set, libcurl will use one of
the selected one and the one it considers is more secure. Test case 67 and
68 (for NTLM) were fixed and we've reduced a round-trip for specific --ntlm
featches, and test case 69 and 70 were added for testing authentication
"picking". --anyauth is the new command line tool option, and I also added
--basic for completeness (that's the default type).
- Fixed the runtests.pl script to use the info provided by the new curl -V
output.
- --enable-debug now sets the CURLDEBUG define instead of MALLOCDEBUG, as it
is meant to be a generic debug conditional.
- curl_version_info() can now return CURL_VERSION_DEBUG as a feature bit, to
indicate that the library was built with CURLDEBUG set.
- Ralph Mitchell found out that some web applications very badly uses white
spaces in Location: redirects, and apparently IE is a browser (the only
one?) that supports this abomination. Based on Ralph's patch, I added code
that now attempts to replace white spaces with the proper "%20" or "+".
Test case 40 and 42 were added to verify my changes.
- curl -V now also outputs a list of features the available library offers (if
any).
- The curl_version() string now includes "GSS" if libcurl is built with GSSAPI
support.
- David Orrell reported that libcurl still crashed when sending HUGE requests
over HTTPS... I fixed.
Version 7.10.6-pre2 (16 June 2003)
Daniel (16 June)
- curl_version_info() now returns bitmasked information weather NTLM and
GSSNEGOTIATE are supported, since it is doomed to vary on different
installatiions.
- I remade the HTTP Digest code to use the MD5-code provided by OpenSSL if
that is present, and only use our own MD5-code if it isn't.
Daniel (13 June)
- More NTLM help, fixes and patches from Cris Bailiff.
- Marty Kuhrt brought include fixes for making VMS builds warning-free.
Daniel (12 June)
- NTLM authentication works somewhat against the test servers provided by
Mathias Axelsson and Cris Bailiff. Use by setting CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH to
CURLAUTH_NTLM to libcurl, or --ntlm for the curl tool. Test case 67 and 68
were added for this. NTLM-support requires OpenSSL.
- Dan Fandrich provided a patch, that granted that gzip and libz are available
at build-time, compresses the hugehelp text in the curl command line and
uncompresses it at request. Saves some ~60K in the final output executable.
Daniel (11 June)
- Long day of fighting the NTLM demons.
- Modified how to set auth type to libcurl. Now use CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH instead,
and pick method. Supported ones currently are:
CURLAUTH_BASIC - default selection
CURLAUTH_DIGEST - formerly CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST
CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE
- Daniel Kouril added HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication support, as defined in
the IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. In use already by various
Microsoft web applications. --negotiate is the new family member. To take
advantage of this, you need one of these packages:
o Heimdal Kerberos5 http://www.pdc.kth.se/heimdal/heimdal.html
o GSSAPI from Globus http://www.globus.org/
o GSSAPI libraries from MIT Kerberos5 http://web.mit.edu/kerberos/www/
- A missing ending bracket (']') while doing URL globbing could lead to a
segfault. While fixing this, I also introduced better error reporting in the
globbing code. (All this is application code outside libcurl.)
Daniel (6 June)
- David Orrell found out that sending a huge GET request over HTTPS could
make libcurl fail and return an error code.
- Richard Bramante found out that "Content-Length: 0" was not properly used by
libcurl if the response-headers indicated that the connection would be
closed.
- David Byron's patch was applied, that makes the --progress-bar take the
local size into account when doing resumed downloads.
- Feedback from Serge Semashko made me change the error message returned when
CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR is returned.
- Anonymous in bug report #745122 pointed out that we should really be using
SSL_CTX_set_options(... SSL_OP_ALL) to work around flaws in existing SSL
implementations.
Daniel (27 May)
- Andreas Ley and Rich Gray helped me point out that no version of HP-UX has
the sys/select.h header file so including it unconditionally in curl/multi.h
is not a good thing. Now we check for HPUX and avoid using that header on
such systems.
- Rudy Koento experienced problems with curl's recent habit of POSTing data in
two separate send() calls, first the headers and then the data. I've now
made a fix that for static and known content that is less than 100K in size,
everything is now sent in one single system call again. This is also better
for network performance reasons.
- I modified the main makefile to not build the test suite and a few other
unnecessary things by default. Now, the test suite is built when 'make test'
is run. This reduces build time for those who don't care for the test
suite, and it also reduces confusion for people using platforms where the
test suite build fails!
Daniel (26 May)
- Chris Lewis pointed out a flaw in the #ifdefs in curl/multi.h for Windows,
which is now corrected.
- Jis Joy found another flaw in the SOCK5 code, as libcurl treated the socks5
proxy a little too much like as if it was a http proxy.
Daniel (23 May)
- Ricardo Cadime found a socket leak when listing directories without
contents. Test cases 144 and 145 were added to verify the fix.
- Rudy Koento found yet another problem when a HTTP server returns only a
single-line of contents without any headers at all. libcurl then failed to
count the data, thus returning error 52 "no contents". Test case 66 was
Loading full blame...
