Daniel (24 November)
- Gaz Iqbal fixed a range string memory leak.
- Gisle Vanem fixed the Windows builds.
- Added the new FTPSSL defines in curl/curl.h
Daniel (20 November)
- Joshua Kapell filed bug report #845247 as he found an endless loop when
getting a 407 back from a proxy when no user+password was given.
Daniel (19 November)
- Kevin Roth fixed a progress-bar problem on Windows.
- While working with Nicolas Croiset's bug report #843739, I noticed two minor
problems related to ftp partial downloads: if a partial transfer is
detected, we must close the connection as we cannot know in what state it is
anymore. This looks like a ProFTPD bug:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-11/0079.html
Daniel (17 November)
- Maciej W. Rozycki made the script use a cache variable for the writable argv
test. This way, the default can be overridden better (for cross-compiles
etc)
Daniel (15 November)
- Mathias Axelsson found out libcurl sometimes freed the server certificate
twice, leading to crashes!
Daniel (14 November)
- Siddhartha Prakash Jain found a case with a bad resolve that we didn't
properly bail out from, when using ares.
Daniel (13 November)
- Default Content-Type for parts in multipart formposts has changed to
"application/octet-stream". This seems more appropriate, and I believe
mozilla and the likes do this. In the same area: .html files now get
text/html as Content-Type. (Pointed out in bug report #839806)
- Gisle Vanem corrected the --progress-bar output by doing a flush of the
output, which apparently makes it look better on at least windows, but
possibly other platforms too.
- Peter Sylvester identified a problem in the connect code, which made the
multi interface on a ipv6-enabled solaris box do bad. Test case 504 to be
specific. I've spent some time to clean-up the Curl_connecthost() function
now to use less duplicated code for the two different sections: ipv6 and
ipv4.
Daniel (11 November)
- Added CURLOPT_NETRC_FILE. Use this to tell libcurl which file to use instead
of trying to find a .netrc in the current user's home directory. The
existing .netrc file finder is somewhat naive and is far from perfect on
several platforms that aren't unix-style. If this option isn't set when
CURLOPT_NETRC is set, the previous approach will still be used.
The current .netrc check code now also support longer than 256 bytes path
names.
Daniel (10 November)
- Kang-Jin Lee pointed out that the generated ca-bundle.h file shouldn't be
written in the source dir if a different build dir is used.
- After Sébastien Willemijns' bug report, we now check the separators properly
in the 229-reply servers respond on a EPSV command and bail out better if
the reply string is not RFC2428-compliant.
Daniel (7 November)
- Based on Gisle Vanem's patch, I made curl try harder to get the home
directory of the current user, in order to find the default .curlrc file.
We're also considering moving out the HOME-dir code from libcurl, and
instead have the app pass in the path to the .netrc file (which is the only
logic left in libcurl that uses the HOME dir). Then curl can use the home
dir for that purpose too.
- Ralph Mitchell's updated testcurl.sh to the script to take an existing
directory name and build/run/test curl in there instead of trying to update
from CVS. Using this approach, the script can now be used to test daily
tarballs etc.
- Gisle Vanem added a "resource file" to the Windows DLL builds, to contain
information such as version number, library name, copyright info etc.
- curl checks if the existing libcurl supports things like --ntlm, --negotiate
and --krb4 and returns error if not.
- I added three new global defines in the curl/curl.h header:
LIBCURL_VERSION_MAJOR, LIBCURL_VERSION_MINOR and LIBCURL_VERSION_PATCH. They
are the three numbers in the library's version number, separated for easier
usage. 'maketgz' was updated accordingly to generate these numbers properly
when building release-archives.
- Uninitialized variable fix, reported by both Marty Kuhrt and Benjamin
Gerard.
- Matt Veenstra provided build files to build libcurl as a "framework" under
Mac OS X. See the lib/libcurl.framework.make for details.
- Removed the defines of TRUE and FALSE from the curl/curl.h header file.
They're not in our name space so we should not fiddle with them.
Daniel (5 November)
- Replaced the man page to HTML converter program with a new one: roffit.
Makes nicer web pages.
Daniel (4 November)
- Troels Walsted Hansen fixed the MSVC makefiles to let them build curl fine
on Windows.
- Kevin Roth corrected the cygwin package generator and spell-fixed the
comment in the ca-bundle.h file.
- Assume that MDTM on an FTP server returns the timestamp using the UTC time
zone. This changes the time CURLINFO_FILETIME returns for a given file over
FTP, and will change existing uses of CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION. It will make
the functionality more similar to how the HTTP one is already working.
- Command line options that take numerical parameters (such as -y, -Y, -C etc)
now report error and exit if the parameter isn't truly a number greater than
or equal to zero. This helps users to notice bad usage earlier. Before, when
a user forgot or missed to add a numerical parameter to an option, the
command line parser would simply "eat" the following option and it would
cause great confusion.
Daniel (30 October)
- David Hull made libcurl deal with NOBODY and HEADER for file:// the same way
it already does for FTP: it provides HTTP-looking headers that provide info
only about the file, without doing the actual transfer. The curl tool then
lets --head do this.
Daniel (29 October)
- runtests.pl now checks for and use valgrind if present. It will redirect the
valgrind results in log/valgrind[num] but it currently doesn't scan that
file for any errors or anything, that is still only made manually.
- David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file
syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
Daniel (28 October)
- Dan C tracked down yet another weird behavior in the glibc gethostbyname_r()
function for some specific versions (reported on 2.2.5 and 2.1.1), and
provided a fix. On Linux machines with these glibc versioins, non-ipv6
builds of libcurl would often fail to resolve perfectly resolvable host
names.
Daniel (26 October)
- James Bursa found out that curl_msnprintf() could write the trailing
zero-byte outside its given buffer size. This could happen if you generated
a very long error message as then libcurl would overwrite the ERRORBUFFER
with one byte. Using a non-existing very long local file:// name is one case
that could make this occur.
- David Hull filed bug report #829827. It identified a problem with -C - if
the full file already was downloaded and thus the server responded with a
416. libcurl would then wrongly use the Content-Length: header and expect
that size to get transfer, causing a "hang" until the server closed the
connection and then an error 18 ("still N bytes data left of the transfer").
Now we don't return any error at all, but I think libcurl should perhaps
return some kind of info since the requested range was out of the size of
the document.
- Based on David Hull's fix in bug report #804599, we now check for solaris and
gcc in configure and set the -mimpure-text link flag for linking the lib
better.
- I've introduced a -t option to the runtests.pl script. With that option set,
the script runs special "memory torture" tests. For each test command line
in that section, the script first runs the command line and counts the total
amount of allocations made. It then runs the exact same command line again,
forcing allocation number N to fail. It will try every N from 1 to the total
number of amounts made. For every invoke, it checks that no memory was
leaked as that would indicate a bad cleanup somewhere in the code.
This is just beginning to work, and I've already made some corrections in
libcurl code. When this code works somewhat fine, I'll make sure 'make test'
in the root dir will run these tests as well.
Daniel (23 October)
- Georg Horn fixed how the CA verification is made. Verifications can now be
made while at the same time the result of it can be ignored. This also
affects the curl tool as -k can now be used together with --cacert or
--capath.
Daniel (22 October)
- Gisle Vanem found out --disable-eprt didn't work and patched it.
