Daniel (13 December 2004)
- Gisle fixed bug report #1083542, which pointed out a problem with resuming
large file (>4GB) file:// transfers on windows.
Daniel (11 December 2004)
- Made the test suite HTTP server (sws) capable of using IPv6, and then
extended the test environment to support that and also added three test
cases (240, 241, 242) that run tests using IPv6. One of them uses a URL that
didn't work before the 10 dec fix by Kai Sommerfeld.
- Made a failed file:// resume output an error message
- Corrected the CURLE_BAD_DOWNLOAD_RESUME error message in lib/strerror.c
- Dan Fandrich:
simplified and consolidated the SSL checks in configure and the usage of the
defines in lib/setup.h
provided a first libcurl.pc.in file for pkg-config (but the result is not
installed anywhere at this point)
extended the cross compile section in the docs/INSTALL file
Daniel (10 December 2004)
- When providing user name in the URL and a IPv6-style IP-address (like in
"ftp://user@[::1]/tmp"), the URL parser didn't get the host extracted
properly. Reported and fixed by Kai Sommerfeld.
Daniel (9 December 2004)
- Ton Voon provided a configure fix that should fix the notorious (mostly
reported on Solaris) problem where the size_t check fails due to the SSL
libs being found in a dir not searched through by the run-time linker.
patch-tracker entry #1081707.
- Bryan Henderson pointed out in bug report #1081788 that the curl-config
--vernum output wasn't zero prefixed properly (as claimed in documentation).
This is fixed in maketgz now.
Daniel (8 December 2004)
- Matt Veenstra updated the mach-O framework files for Mac OS X.
- Rene Bernhardt found and fixed a buffer overrun in the NTLM code, where
libcurl always and unconditionally overwrote a stack-based array with 3 zero
bytes. This is not an exploitable buffer overflow. No need to get alarmed.

Daniel (7 December 2004)
- Fixed so that the final error message is sent to the verbose info "stream"
even if no errorbuffer is set.
Daniel (6 December 2004)
- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-cookies option to configure to build
libcurl without cookie support. This is mainly useful if you want to build a
minimalistic libcurl with no cookies support at all. Like for embedded
systems or similar.
- Richard Atterer fixed libcurl's way of dealing with the EPSV
response. Previously, libcurl would re-resolve the host name with the new
port number and attempt to connect to that, while it should use the IP from
the control channel. This bug made it hard to EPSV from an FTP server with
multiple IP addresses!

Daniel (3 December 2004)
- Bug report #1078066: when a chunked transfer was pre-maturely closed exactly
at a chunk boundary it was not considered an error and thus went unnoticed.

Added test case 207 to verify.
Daniel (2 December 2004)
- Fixed the CONNECT loop to default timeout to 3600 seconds.
Added test case 206 that makes CONNECT with Digest.
Fixed a flaw that prepended "(nil)" to the initial CONNECT rqeuest's user-
agent field.
Daniel (30 November 2004)
- Dan Fandrich's fix for libz 1.1 and "extra field" usage in a gzip stream
- Dan also helped me with input data to create three more test cases for the
--compressed option.
Daniel (29 November 2004)
- I improved the test suite to enable binary contents in the tests (by proving
it base64 encoded), like for testing decompress etc. Added test 220 and 221
for this purpose. Tests can now also depend on libz to run.
- As reported by Reinout van Schouwen in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12285
(http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12285), when connecting to an
IPv6 host with FTP, --disable-epsv (or --disable-eprt) effectively disables
the ability to transfer a file. Now, when connected to an FTP server with
IPv6, these FTP commands can't be disabled even if asked to with the
available libcurl options.
Daniel (26 November 2004)
- As reported in Mandrake's bug tracker bug 12289
(http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12289), curl would print a
newline to "finish" the progress meter after each redirect and not only
after a completed transfer.
Daniel (25 November 2004)
- FTP improvements:
If EPSV, EPRT or LPRT is tried and doesn't work, it will not be retried on
the same server again even if a following request is made using a persistent
connection.
If a second request is made to a server, requesting a file from the same
directory as the previous request operated on, libcurl will no longer make
that long series of CWD commands just to end up on the same spot. Note that
this is only for *exactly* the same dir. There is still room for improvements
to optimize the CWD-sending when the dirs are only slightly different.
Added test 210, 211 and 212 to verify these changes. Had to improve the
test script too and added a new primitive to the test file format.
Daniel (24 November 2004)
- Andrés García fixed the configure script to detect select properly when run
with Msys/Mingw on Windows.
Daniel (22 November 2004)
- Made HTTP PUT and POST requests no longer use HEAD when doing multi-pass
auth negotiation (NTLM, Digest and Negotiate), but instead use the request
keyword "properly". Details in lib/README.httpauth. This also introduces
CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION and CURLOPT_IOCTLDATA, to be used by apps that use the
"any" auth alternative as then libcurl may need to send the PUT/POST data
more than once and thus may need to ask the app to "rewind" the read data
stream to start.
See also the new example using this: docs/examples/anyauthput.c
- David Phillips enhanced test 518. I made it depend on a "feature" so that
systems without getrlimit() won't attempt to test 518. configure now checks
for getrlimit() and setrlimit() for this test case.
Daniel (18 November 2004)
- David Phillips fixed libcurl to not crash anymore when more than FD_SETSIZE
file descriptors are in use. Test case 518 added to verify.

Daniel (15 November 2004)
- To test my fix for the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME bug, I added time_redirect and
num_redirects support to the -w writeout option for the command line tool.
- Wojciech Zwiefka found out that CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME didn't work as
documented.

- Gisle Vanem modigied the MSVC and Netware makefiles to build without
libcurl.def
- Dan Fandrich added the --disable-crypto-auth option to configure to allow
libcurl to build without Digest support. (I figure it should also explicitly
disable Negotiate and NTLM.)
- *** Modified Behaviour Alert ***

Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL will no longer do a GET.
Setting CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to "" will send a zero byte POST and setting
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS to NULL and CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE to zero will also make
a zero byte POST. Added test case 515 to verify this.
Setting CURLOPT_HTTPPOST to NULL makes a zero byte post. Added test case 516
to verify this.
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE must now be set to -1 to signal "we don't know".
Setting it to zero simply says this is a zero byte POST.
When providing POST data with a read callback, setting the size up front
is now made with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE and not with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE.
Daniel (11 November 2004)
- Dan Fandrich added --disable-verbose to the configure script to allow builds
without verbose strings in the code, to save some 12KB space. Makes sense
only for systems with very little memory resources.
- Jeff Phillips found out that a date string with a year beyond 2038 could
crash the new date parser on systems with 32bit time_t. We now check for
this case and deal with it.
Daniel (10 November 2004)
- I installed Heimdal on my Debian box (using the debian package) and noticed
that configure --with-gssapi failed to create a nice build. Fixed now.
Daniel (9 November 2004)
- Gisle Vanem marked all external function calls with CURL_EXTERN so that now
the Windows, Netware and other builds no longer need libcurl.def or similar
files.
