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
added to verify that we now do right.
Version 7.10.6-pre1 (23 May 2003)
Daniel (23 May)
- Jis in bug report #741841, fixed a bug in the SOCKS5 proxy-using code.
Daniel (22 May)
- David Remahl set up a test-server for me providing Digest authentication,
and I wrote the first working code that support it. The test suite was
modified slightly as well to work better for it and --digest was added to
the command line options (and CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST to the library)... RFC2617
has all the gory details.
- David Balazic pointed out that curl_unescape() didn't check that %-codes
were correctly followed by two hexadecimal digits when it unescape strings.
Now, we do the check and only %XX codes are unescaped if the X letters are
hexadecimals.
- Gisle Vanem made curl build with djgpp on DOS.
- Gisle Vanem improved the mkhelp.pl script to make a nicer manual that is
shown with curl -M.
Daniel (20 May)
- Gisle Vanem provided a fix that makes libcurl more conservative, not
expecting h_aliases of the hostent struct to always be non-NULL.
Daniel (19 May)
- As requested by Martin Michlmayr in Debian bug report #193630, libcurl now
supports user name and password in the proxy environment variables. Added
test case 63 to verify this.
Version 7.10.5 (19 May 2003)
Daniel (15 May)
- Changed the order for the in_addr_t testing, as 'unsigned long' seems to be
a very common type inet_addr() returns.
Daniel (14 May)
- George Comninos provided a fix that calls the progress meter when waiting
for FTP command responses take >1 second. It'll make applications more
"responsive" even when dealing with very slow ftp servers.
Daniel (12 May)
- George Comninos pointed out that libcurl uploads had two quirks:
o when using FTP PORT command, it used blocking sockets!
o it could loop a long time without doing progress meter updates
Both items are fixed now.
Daniel (9 May)
- Dan Fandrich changed CURLOPT_ENCODING to select all supported encodings if
set to "". This frees the application from having to know which encodings
the library supports.
- Dan Fandrich pointed out we had three unnecessary files in CVS that is
generated with libtoolize, so they're now removed and libtoolize is invoked
accordingly in the buildconf script.
- Avery Fay found out that the CURLOPT_INTERFACE way of first checking if the
given name is a network interface gave a real performance penalty on Linux,
so now we more appropriately first check if it is an IP number and if so
we don't check for a network interface with that name.
- CURLOPT_FTP_USE_EPRT added. Set this to FALSE to disable libcurl's attempts
to use EPRT and LPRT before the traditional PORT command. The command line
tool sets this option with '--disable-eprt'.
Version 7.10.5-pre2 (6 May 2003)
Daniel (6 May)
- Kevin Delafield reported another case where we didn't correctly check for
EAGAIN but only EWOULDBLOCK, which caused badness on HPUX.
Daniel (4 May)
- Ben Greear noticed that the check for 'writable argv' exited the configure
script when run for cross-compiling, which wasn't nice. Now it'll default to
no and output a warning about the fact that it was not checked for.
Daniel (2 May)
- Added test case 62 and fixed some more on the cookie sending with a custom
Host: header set.
Daniel (1 May)
- Andy Cedilnik fixed a few compiler warnings.
- Made the "SSL read error: 5" error message more verbose, by adding code that
queries the OpenSSL library to fill in the error buffer.
- Added sys/select.h include in the curl/multi.h file, after having been
reminded about this by Rich Gray.
- I made each test set its own server requirements, thus abandoning the
previous system where the test number implied what server(s) to use for a
specific test.
- David Balazic made curl more RFC1738-compliant for FTP URLs, by fixing so
that libcurl now uses one CWD command for each path part. A bunch of test
cases were fixed to work accordingly.
- Cookie fixes:
A. Save domains in jars like Mozilla does. It means all domains set in
Set-Cookie: headers are dot-prefixed.
B. Save and use the 'tailmatch' field in the Mozilla/Netscape cookie jars
(the second column).
C. Reject cookies using illegal domains in the Set-Cookie: line. Concerns
both domains with too few dots or domains that are outside the currently
operating server host's domain.
D. Set the path part by default to the one used in the request, if none was
set in the Set-Cookie line.
To make item C really good, I also made libcurl notice custom Host: headers
and extract the host name set in there and use that as the host name for the
site we're getting the cookies from. This allows user to specify a site's
IP-address, but still be able to receive and send its cookies properly if
you provide a valid Host: name for the site.
Daniel (29 Apr)
- Peter Kovacs provided a patch that makes the CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME work fine
when using the multi interface (too).
Version 7.10.5-pre1 (23 Apr 2003)
Daniel (22 Apr)
- Peter Sylvester pointed out that curl_easy_setopt() will always (wrongly)
return CURLE_OK no matter what happens.
- Dan Fandrich fixed some gzip decompression bugs and flaws.
Daniel (16 Apr)
- Fixed minor typo in man page, reported in the Debian bug tracker.
Daniel (15 Apr)
- Fixed some FTP tests in the test suite that failed on my Solaris host, due
to the config.h not being included before the system headers. When done that
way, it did get a mixed sense of if big files are supported or not and then
stat() and fstat() (as used in test case 505) got confused and failed to
return a proper file size.
- Formposting a file using a .html suffix is now properly set to Content-Type: text/html.
Daniel (14 Apr)
- Fixed the SSL error handling to return proper SSL error messages again, they
broke in 7.10.4. I also attempt to track down CA cert problems and then
return the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code.
- The curl tool now intercepts the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code and displays
a fairly big and explanatory error message. Kevin Roth helped me out with
the wording.
Daniel (11 Apr)
- Nic Hines provided a second patch for gzip decompression, and fixed a bug
when deflate or gzip contents were downloaded using chunked encoding.
- Dan Fandrich made libcurl support automatic decompression of gzip contents
(as an addition to the previous deflate support).
- I made the CWD command during FTP session consider all 2xy codes to be OK
responses.
Daniel (10 Apr)
- Vlad Krupin fixed a URL parsing issue. URLs that were not using a slash
after the host name, but still had "?" and parameters appended, as in
"http://hostname.com?foobar=moo", were not properly parsed by libcurl.
Daniel (9 Apr)
- Made CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION work for FTP transfers, using the same syntax as
for HTTP. This then made -z work for ftp transfers too. Added test case 139
and 140 for verifying this.
- Getting the file date of an ftp file used the wrong time zone when
displayed. It is supposedly always GMT. Added test case 141 for this.
- Made the test suite's FTP server support MDTM.
- The default DEBUGFUNCTION, as enabled with CURLOPT_VERBOSE now outputs
CURLINFO_HEADER_IN data as well. The most notable effect from this is that
using curl -v, you get to see the incoming "headers" as well. This is
perhaps most useful when doing ftp.
