                                  Changelog

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 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
