Daniel (20 February 2004)
- configure --enable-debug with gcc now also tries to detect the icc compiler
(which somehow gets treated as if it is a gcc) to stop using all the gcc
options with it, and we also provide -isystem options for each extra -I
option the configure script has figured out (for OpenSSL, kerberos, zlib,
Heimdal etc). This of course to prevent warnings on headers we don't have
control of.
Daniel (19 February 2004)
- Doug Porter made libcurl use the HOME environment variable before the
getpwuid results when looking for .netrc files.
- If 'configure --enable-debug' is used with gcc, it now checks which gcc
version it is and uses as picky compiler options as possible for the
particular version.
- Code that can be used in both the lib and in the curl app is now made to use
the curlx_ prefix. The first function to be available like this is the
curlx_strtoll() function. This is made to allow the app to use existing code,
but without polluting the libcurl API. Further explanations posted here:

- Fixed buildconf to not use "which" as AIX and Tru64 have what have been
referred to as "horribly broken 'which' programs".
- Made sure dns cache timeout set to -1 really means caching forever.
Daniel (17 February 2004)
- Made it possibly to build c-ares with the libcurl memdebug system to better
track memory.
Daniel (16 February 2004)
- When using ares, we now initialize the ares 'channel' in curl_easy_init()
and re-use that same handle during the entire curl handle's life-time. It
improves performance.
- Fixed a problem when displaying verbose for ipv6-enabled libcurls and
re-used connections. Problem reported and fix verified by Grigory Entin.
- Jeff Lawson fixed the version-check in the SOCKS5 code.
Daniel (15 February 2004)
- Fixed a case where a host cache entry was not flagged in-use properly when a
cached entry was used.
- Andrés García's patch that checks for winmm in the configure script was
applied.
Daniel (13 February 2004)
- Ben Greear's SO_BINDTODEVICE patch for the binding of the local end to a
specific network interface.
- Greg Hewgill found out that the variable holding 'contentlength' wasn't big
enough to hold a large file!
- Tor Arntsen fixed a 64bit-related problem in date-related code in the ftp
department, and there was another potential problem in the name resolve code
too.
Daniel (11 February 2004)
- Removed a few variables that were only set but never used, as some compilers
warn about that and we do not like compiler warnings!
- Removed the need for symlinks in the tests/data directory if curl is built
outside of the source directory and the 'make test' is used. This was done
by providing a "source dir path" to the scripts/servers.
- Now, if the configure script can't find an nroff tool or an option to nroff
to use to convert man pages with, it will completely switch off the built-in
manual.
- 'configure --disable-manual' completely disables the built-in manual from
the curl command tool.
- Andrés García fixed the configure script and a minor source edit, and now
he has managed to get msys/mingw to run configure and then build!
Daniel (9 February 2004)
- The default HTTP Accept: header was modified to the much simpler
"Accept: */*".
- P R Schaffner updated the curl-ssl spec file for RPMs.
- Dominick Meglio brought lots of documentation for the share interface's man
pages that were previously missing.
- Tor Arntsen provided a patch that makes libcurl work-around a bug in the
AIX5 implementation of getaddrinfo(). This makes the FTP PORT stuff work on
ipv6-enabled AIX builds.
- Ken Rastatter provided portability fixes for the curlgtk.c example, and now
it runs on windows with GTK as well!
Daniel (6 February 2004)
- Andrés García made the configure script find gethostbyname() fine when run
with mingw on windows.
- Modifed the ldap code to use proper function pointers all over (instead of
mixed data and function pointers) to work-around the picky MIPSPro compiler
warnings.
- A custom Host: header is only considered if the request is not made by
following a location. After discussions with Tim Baker.

Daniel (5 February 2004)
- The libz part of the configure script now only set the two libz-related
define HAVE_ZLIB_H and HAVE_LIBZ if both the lib and the header is found.
If one is missing, none of the defines is set.
- Andrés García fixed the Mingw makefiles.
- Len Krause reported that curl 7.9.X could do uploading from stdin without
doing chunked encoding, which current curl cannot do even if you disable
the transfer-encoding chunked header. Now it can again, and test case 98
verifies this functionality.
- Tor Arntsen fixed a weird getaddrinfo() usage in the FTP code, preventing
the ipv6-code for PORT work on AIX 5.2. We now also provide (better) error
messages when bailing out in the that function.
- Tor Arntsen now provides AIX and IRIX (using gcc, xlc and the MIPSPro
compilers) automated build logs (http://curl.haxx.se/auto/) and we've fixed
numerous minor quirks to make less warnings appear.
Daniel (4 February 2004)
- Based on a patch by Gilad, we now use the custom timeouts when waiting for a
server to connect when using FTP PORT. Previously we always waited 10
seconds, no more no less. We now also changed the default (if no timeout is
set) to wait 60 seconds for the connect before we fail.
Daniel (3 February 2004)
- Modified to link with c-ares instead of ares.
Daniel (2 February 2004)
- Added a configure test to check for which option the (g)nroff tool wants
to extract plain text from the man pages. Tor Arntsen told us the AIX
version of GNU gnroff doesn't support -man!
- Added an undef of accept in memdebug.h to make curl build with --enable-debug
on AIX 5.2 which seems to have accept defined. Reported by Tor Arntsen.
- curl_version() now includes c-ares version info, and curl_version_info() now
returns a struct with version SECOND that also includes that info.
- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the
new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly
modified API.
- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error
string when we fail to resolve a name.
- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a
connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That
makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must
not complain on the fact that no data was received.
- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to
feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds,
but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them
is set.
- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir
before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported.
- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header
replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one.
- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out
by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the
server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request
without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET.
Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a
fresh connection.
- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a
read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding.
- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over.
- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a
SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a
while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for
IPv6-enabled libcurls.
- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
checking the define if its present...
