- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with
CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication,
libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was
actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174,
175 and 176 to verify this.

- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves
into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is
larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on
stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the
upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the
behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know
the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on
HTTP 1.1 servers.
Daniel (13 June 2004)
- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts
of the check wrongly was case sensitive.
Daniel (11 June 2004)
- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS
machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able
to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress.
Daniel (10 June 2004)
- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect
timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to
multiple IP addresses.
- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the
path after a file:// transfer.
Daniel (9 June 2004)
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl
without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case
libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED.
- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated
curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib
file generated as it used to do before we generated this file.
Daniel (8 June 2004)
- Marty Kuhrt fixed a minor build problem for VMS.
Daniel (7 June 2004)
- Reverted the configure check from the 4th since it obviously didn't work.
Remade it in a different manner that hopefully works better.
- Günter Knauf brought patches to make curl build fine on NetWare again.
- Made the configure checks for strerror_r() not exit the configure script
when built for cross-compiling.

Daniel (3 June 2004)
- Chris Gaukroger pointed out that 'make test' attempts to run the tests even
if curl is built cross-compiled. I've now made it output a short message
instead, saying it isn't possible to do.
- Alexander Krasnostavsky brought FTP 3rd party transfer support to libcurl.
You can now use libcurl to transfer files between two remote hosts using
FTP. There are a bunch of new options to control this with:
CURLOPT_SOURCE_HOST
CURLOPT_SOURCE_USERPWD
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PATH
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PORT
CURLOPT_PASV_HOST
CURLOPT_SOURCE_PREQUOTE
CURLOPT_SOURCE_POSTQUOTE
(They still remain to be documented properly in the curl_easy_setopt man
page.)
When using this, the ordinary CURLOPT_URL specifies the target URL, and you
specify the source data with these additional options. ftp3rdparty.c is a
new example source code showing how to use this.
- Vincent Bronner fixed the HTTP Digest code to use the proxy user name and
password when doing proxy authentication, it previously always used the host
user name and password!
Daniel (2 June 2004)
- CURLOPT_UPLOAD and CURLOPT_PUT now do the exact same thing internally, which
fixes some old confusions on when which of these should be used and what the
differences are.
- Applied Gisle's fixes to make curl build fine with lcc-win32
Daniel (1 June 2004)
- I clarified the --create-dirs option somewhat in the curl man page.
- Renaud Duhaut corrected the curl_unescape man page.
- David Byron modified one of Massimiliano Ziccardi's recent MSVC makefile
changes to now again use the mm lib by default.
Daniel (26 May 2004)
- Mohun Biswas added release-zlib and debug-zlib targets to the MSVC libcurl
Makefile
- David Byron reported a problem with proxy authentication when doing CONNECT,
like when accessing HTTPS sites wiht a proxy. This probably broke when I
rewrote the auth stuff recently.
- I added fileupload.c in the examples directory, showing how an upload to a
file:// URL is made.
Daniel (25 May 2004)
- Massimiliano Ziccardi updated the MSVC makefiles.
Daniel (24 May 2004)
- libcurl now supports "uploading" to file:// URLs. Test 204 and 205 were
added to verify.

- Simon Josefsson added a idn_free() function in libidn 0.4.5 as a reaction to
Gisle's previous mail. We now use this function, and thus we require libidn
0.4.5 or later. No earlier version will do.

- Robert D. Young reported that CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE and CURLOPT_COOKIE could
not be used both in one request. Fixed it and added test case 172 to verify.

Daniel (21 May 2004)
- While talking to host a.b.c, libcurl did wrongly not accept cookies that
were set to the domain .a.b.c (that is with a dot prefix). This is now fixed
and test case 171 verifies it.
Daniel (20 May 2004)
- Jesse Noller reported that the upload speed info reported by libcurl was
wrong. The same was true for the download speed. Fixed now.
Daniel (19 May 2004)
- David Byron added test case 170 - this used to crash the previous version of
curl.
- Peter Sylvester's patch that addresses two flaws in the peer certificate
name verification:
o when multiple common names are used (as in the curl tests), the last name
needs to be selected.
o allow comparing with encoded values, at least with BMP and ISO latin1
encoded T61strings.
- All 191 test cases run through the torture test OK! 'make test-torture' is
now available in the root makefile (on configure-based environments).
Daniel (14 May 2004)
- With a slightly modified ftpserver.pl I've now run almost all tests through
with runtests.pl -t. This is goodness!
- Since I have been unable to contact the CVS admins for several months, I've
decided that the current CVS hosting was not good enough. I've now moved the
CVS repo once again, see README for updated cvs checkout instructions.
Daniel (13 May 2004)
- runtests.pl -t now runs fine all the way to test 100. I believe test case
100 fails because of an FTP server problem.
Daniel (12 May 2004)
- General cleanups all over to make libcurl survive and do well when a memory
function returns NULL. runtests.pl -t now works fine for the first 26 test
cases.
- Seshubabu Pasam provided a patch that introduces curl_global_init_mem() -
like normal curl_global_init() but allows the app to replace all memory
functions with its own set. I modified it slightly.
- Based on Luca Alteas' comments, I modified the curllib.dsp generation code.
Daniel (10 May 2004)
- Gisle mailed Simon Josefsson (of libidn fame) about the benefits of a
separate free()-function by that lib to make sure the memory is freed by the
same memory subsystem that allocated it. He responded positively and this
will likely cause us to require a newer version of libidn as soon as Simon
releases one with such a libidn_free() function.
- James Bursa made runtests.pl's -t option work for any given test case, and I
edited to allow -g too. Not even test case 1 worked...
- Luca Altea made the nc= field not use quotes in outgoing HTTP Digest headers.
- Andrés García fixed a problem in the test script that made it fail to
recognize our own running HTTP server.
Daniel (7 May 2004)
- James Bursa fixed the memanalyze.pl script to conder malloc(0) areas OK to
free() and he made two failed-resolve error messages use the new display-
name instead of the internally-used name.
Loading full blame...
