CHANGES 49.7 KiB
Newer Older
- 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.

Daniel (30 January 2004)
- 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.

Daniel (29 January 2004)
- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
  checking the define if its present...

- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating
  system.

- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler
  options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to
  avoid them.

- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking
  sockets properly.

Daniel (28 January 2004)
- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final
  CRLF combo properly.

Daniel (27 January 2004)
- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on
  as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar.

- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display
  properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered.

Daniel (23 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a
  required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file.

- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with
  ../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided
  libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar
  where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps
  we'll just make this function available in the library...

- Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was
  set.

- Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using

  a persistent connection.

- Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle
  Vanem reported.

Daniel (22 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw
  compiler.

- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly.

- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost
  is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another
  name space pollution.

- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide
  large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use
  this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large
  file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the
  size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t.

Daniel (21 January 2004)
- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They
  have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any
  problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects
  this name space pollution.

Daniel (19 January 2004)
- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also
  arguments in a config file without a required parameter!

- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables
  possibly being used unassigned.

- Minor Interix build problem fixed.

  acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used.

- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support
  backspace.

- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and
  an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can
  build curl with the compressed version.

- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds.

- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files.

- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a
  SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the
  Borland lib/Makefile.b32.

- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are
  compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so
  that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to
  make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files.

- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL
  even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a
  "follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature.

- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it
  retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe
  the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts.

Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004)
Daniel (11 January 2004)
- Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to
  IANA.

Daniel (8 January 2004)
- Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options
  in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930.

Daniel (5 January 2004)
- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage.

- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was
  applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are:

  INFILESIZE_LARGE
  RESUME_FROM_LARGE
  MAXFILESIZE_LARGE

Daniel (4 January 2004)
- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of
  gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same
  function in other libs (like ares for example).

- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
  on win32.
