                                  Changelog

Claes Jakobsson (14 Nov 2009)
- curl-config now accepts '--configure' to see what arguments was
  passed to the configure script when building curl.

Daniel Stenberg (14 Nov 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS when
  --with-nss is set but not "yes".

  I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc,
  but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.

- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for
  the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines
  can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key
  and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)

Yang Tse (14 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connection
  won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.

Kamil Dudka (12 Nov 2009)
- Kevin Baughman provided a fix preventing libcurl-NSS from crash on doubly
  closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times
  before and always closed unresolved. More info at the RH bug:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/534176

- libcurl-NSS now tries to reconnect with TLS disabled in case it detects
  a broken TLS server. However it does not happen if SSL version is selected
  manually. The approach was originally taken from PSM. Kaspar Brand helped me
  to complete the patch. Original bug reports:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/525496
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/527771

Yang Tse (11 Nov 2009)
- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapi
  and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in
  the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry
  in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in
  use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of
  still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
  
- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properly
  used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while
  it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so
  that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.

Kamil Dudka (5 Nov 2009)
- Dropped misleading timeouts in libcurl-NSS and made sure the SSL socket works
  in non-blocking mode.

Yang Tse (5 Nov 2009)
- I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in
  curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to
  OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.

Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2009)
- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the
  wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could
  easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any
  percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring
  less than 100 bytes.

Version 7.19.7 (4 November 2009)

Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2009)
- As reported independent by both Stan van de Burgt and Didier Brisebourg,
  CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD (the -w variable size_download) didn't work when
  getting data from ldap!

Daniel Stenberg (31 Oct 2009)
- Gabriel Kuri reported a problem with CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD if the
  download was 0 bytes, as libcurl would then return the size as unknown (-1)
  and not 0. I wrote a fix and test case 566 to verify it.

Daniel Stenberg (30 Oct 2009)
- Liza Alenchery mentioned a problem with re-used SCP connection when a bad
  auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still
  made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP
  session to get closed and not be re-used.

- "Tom" posted a bug report that mentioned how libcurl did wrong when doing a
  POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and
  "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced.  I would then cause the first request
  to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the
  connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.

Daniel Stenberg (25 Oct 2009)
- Dima Barsky made the curl cookie parser accept cookies even with blank or
  unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously
  libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research
  shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I
  modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.

Daniel Stenberg (21 Oct 2009)
- Attempt to use pkg-config for finding out libssh2 installation details
  during configure.

- A patch in bug report #2883177 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2883177)
  by Johan van Selst introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl
  tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to
  read.

Daniel Stenberg (18 Oct 2009)
- Ray Dassen provided a patch in Debian's bug tracker (bug number #551461)
  that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that
  use the "single letter military timezones".
  http://www.rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/822/chapter5.html has the details.

- Fixed memory leak in the SCP/SFTP code as it never freed the knownhosts
  data!

- John Dennis filed bug report #2873666
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2873666) which identified a problem
  which made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when
  using HTTP GSS negotiate authentication. He also provided a small and simple
  patch for it.

- Kevin Baughman found a double close() problem with libcurl-NSS, as when
  libcurl called NSS to close the SSL "session" it also closed the actual
  socket.

Yang Tse (17 Oct 2009)
- Bug report #2866724 indicated
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2866724) that curl on Windows failed
  when writing files whose file names originally contained characters which
  are not valid for file names on Windows. Dan Fandrich provided an initial
  patch and another revised one to fix this issue.

Daniel Stenberg (1 Oct 2009)
- Tom Mueller correctly reported in bug report #2870221
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
  incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
  him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
  strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
  exactly why.
 
- Constantine Sapuntzakis: The current implementation will always set
  SO_SNDBUF to CURL_WRITE_SIZE even if the SO_SNDBUF starts out larger.  The
  patch doesn't do a setsockopt if SO_SNDBUF is already greater than
  CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with
  large send buffers.

Daniel Stenberg (27 Sep 2009)
- I introduced a maximum limit for received HTTP headers. It is controlled by
  the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header
  file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified
  limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a
  buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the
  header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into
  trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or
  less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.

Daniel Stenberg (26 Sep 2009)
- John P. McCaskey posted a bug report that showed how libcurl did wrong when
  saving received cookies with no given path, if the path in the request had a
  query part. That is means a question mark (?) and characters on the right
  side of that. I wrote test case 1105 and fixed this problem.

Kamil Dudka (26 Sep 2009)
- Implemented a protocol independent way to specify blocking direction, used by
  transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols.
  This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload,
  reported by Vourhey.

Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2009)
- Chris Mumford filed bug report #2861587
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used
  the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would
  load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
  
Daniel Stenberg (16 Sep 2009)
- Sven Anders reported that we introduced a cert verfication flaw for OpenSSL-
  powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name
  field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP
  entry was present it caused the verification to fail.

Daniel Fandrich (15 Sep 2009)
- Moved the libssh2 checks after the SSL library checks. This helps when
  statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be
  set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary if
  the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the
  --static flag would add the dependencies automatically.

Yang Tse (14 Sep 2009)
- Revert Joshua Kwan's patch committed 11 Sep 2009.

  Some systems poll function sets POLLHUP in revents without setting
  POLLIN, and sets POLLERR without setting POLLIN and POLLOUT. In some
