History of Changes
Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Applied Luong Dinh Dung's comments about a few win32 compile problems.
- Applied Björn Stenberg's suggested fix that turns the win32 stdout to
binary. It won't do it if the -B / --use-ascii option is used. That option
is now an extended version of the previous -B /--ftp--ascii. The flag was
already in use be the ldap as well so the new name fits pretty good. The
libcyrl CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT was also introduced as an alias to the now
obsolete CURLOPT_FTPASCII. Can't verify this fix myself as I have no win32
compiler around.
Daniel (13 June 2000)
- Luong Dinh Dung <dung at sch.bme.hu> found a problem in curl_easy_cleanup()
since it free()ed the main curl struct *twice*. This is now corrected.
Daniel (9 June 2000)
- Updated the RESOURCES file, added a README.win32 file.
Daniel (8 June 2000)
- So I finally added the progress callback to the *setopt() options and it
should work now. I don't have the energy to write any test program for it
right now.
- Made the callback function typedefs public in curl/curl.h for comfort. Just
in case anyone wanna fiddle with such pointers.
- Updated the curl_easy_setopt() man page accordingly.
Version 7.0.4beta
Daniel (2 June 2000)
- I noticed that when doing Location: following, we lost custom headers in all
but the first request.
- Removed the 'HttpPost' struct and moved the header stuff to the more generic
curl_slist.
- Added some better slist-cleanups in src/main.c
Version 7.0.3beta
Daniel (31 May 2000)
- So I discovered that I released the 7.0.2beta without it being able to
compile under Linux. gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r() turned out to
feature a different amount of arguments on different systems so I had to add
a configure check for this and adjust the code slightly.
Version 7.0.2beta
Daniel (29 May 2000)
- Corrected the bits.* assignments when using CURLOPT options that only
toggles one of those bits.
- Applied the huge patches from David LeBlanc <dleblanc at qnx.com> that add
usage of the gethostbyname_r() and similar functions in case they're around,
since that make libcurl much better threadsafe in many systems (such as
solaris). I added the checks for these functions to the configure script.
I can't explain why, but the inet_ntoa_r() function did not appear in my
Solaris include files, I had to add my own include file for this for now.
- Jörn Hartroth brought me fixes to make the win32 version compile properly as
well as a rename of the 'interface' field in the urldata struct, as it seems
to be reserved in some gcc versions!
- Rich Gray struck back with yet some portability reports. Data General DG/UX
needed a little fix in lib/ldap.c since it doesn't have RTLD_GLOBAL defined.
More fixes are expected as a result of Richies very helpful work.
Daniel (21 May 2000)
- Updated lots of #defines, enums and variable type names in the library. No
more weird URG or URLTAG prefixes. All types and names should be curl-
prefixed to avoid name space clashes. The FLAGS-parameter to the former
curl_urlget() has been converted into a bunch of flags to use in separate
setopt calls. I'm still focusing on the easy-interface, as the curl tool is
now using that.
- Bjorn Reese has provided me with an asynchronous name resolver that I plan
to use in upcoming versions of curl to be able to gracefully timeout name
lookups.
Daniel (18 May 2000)
- Introduced LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM to the curl.h include file to better allow
source codes to be dependent on the lib version. This define is now set to
a dexadecimal number, with 8 bits each for major number, minor number and
patch number. In other words, version 1.2.3 would make it 0x010203. It also
makes a larger number a newer version.
Daniel (17 May 2000)
- Martin Kammerhofer correctly pointed out several flaws in the FTP range
option. I corrected them.
- Removed the win32 winsock init crap from the lib to the src/main.c file
in the application instead. They can't be in the lib, especially not for
multithreaded purposes.
Daniel (16 May 2000)
- Rewrote the src/main.c source to use the new easy-interface to libcurl 7.
There is still more work to do, but the first step is now taken.
<curl/easy.h> is the include file to use.
Daniel (14 May 2000)
- FTP URLs are now treated slightly different, more according to RFC 1738.
- FTP sessions are now performed differently, with CWD commands to change
directory instead of RETR/STOR/LIST with the full path. Discussions with
Rich Gray made me notice these problems.
- Janne Johansson discovered and corrected a buffer overflow in the
src/usrglob.c file.
- I had to add a lib/strequal.c file for doing case insensitive string
compares on all platforms.
Daniel (8 May 2000):
- Been working lots on the new lib.
- Together with Rich Gray, I've tried to adjust the configure script to work
better on the NCR MP-RAS Unix.
Daniel (2 May 2000):
- Albert Chin-A-Young pointed out that I had a few too many instructions in
configure.in that didn't do any good.
Daniel (24 April 2000):
- Added a new paragraph to the FAQ about what to do when configure can't
find OpenSSL even though it is installed. Supplied by Bob Allison
<allisonb@users.sourceforge.net>.
Daniel (12 April 2000):
- Started messing around big-time to convert the old library interface to a
better one...
Daniel (8 April 2000):
- Made the progress bar look better for file sizes between 9999 kilobytes
and 100 megabytes. They're now displayed XX.XM.
- I also noticed that ftp fetches through HTTP proxies didn't add the user
agent string. It does now.
- Habibie <habibie@MailandNews.com> supplied a pretty good way to build RPMs
on a Linux machine. It still a) requires me to be root to do it, b) leaves
the rpm packages laying at some odd place on my disk c) doesn't work to
build the ssl version of curl since I didn't install openssl from an rpm
package so now the rpm crap thinks I don't have openssl and refuses to build
a package that depends on ssl... Did I mention I don't get along with RPM?
- Once again I received a bug report about autoconf not setting -L prior to -l
on the command line when checking for libs. In this case it made the native
cc compiler on Solaris 7 to fail the OpenSSL check. This has previously been
reported to cause problems on HP-UX and is a known flaw in autoconf 2.13. It
is a pity there's no newer release around...
Daniel (4 April 2000):
- Marco G. Salvagno <mgs@whiz.cjb.net> supplied me with two fixes that
appearantly makes the OS/2 port work better with multiple URLs.
Daniel (2 April 2000):
- Another Location: fix. This time, when curl connected to a port and then
followed a location with an absolute URL to another port, it misbehaved.
Daniel (27 March 2000):
- H. Daphne Luong <daphne@tellme.com> pointed out that curl was wrongly
messing up the proxy string when fetching a document through a http proxy,
which screwed up multiple fetches such as in location: followings.
Daniel (23 March 2000):
- Marco G. Salvagno <mgs@whiz.cjb.net> corrected my badly applied patch he
actually already told me about!
- H. Daphne Luong <daphne@tellme.com> brought me a fix that now makes curl
ignore select() errors in the download if errno is EINTR, which turns out to
happen every now and then when using libcurl multi-threaded...
Daniel (22 March 2000):
- Wham Bang <wham_bang@yahoo.com> supplied a couple of win32 fixes. HAVE_UNAME
was accidentally #defined in config-win32.h, which it shouldn't have been.
The HAVE_UNISTD_H is not defined when compiling with the Makefile.vc6
makefile for MS VC++.
Daniel (21 March 2000):
- I removed the AC_PROG_INSTALL macro from configure.in, since it appears that
one of the AM_* macros searches for a BSD compatible install already. Janne
Johansson made me aware of this.
Version 6.5.2
Daniel (21 March 2000):
- Paul Harrington <paul@pizza.org> quickly pointed out to me that 6.5.1
crashes hard. I upload 6.5.2 now as quickly as possible! The problem was
- An anonymous post on sourceforge correctly pointed out a possible buffer
overflow in the curl_unescape() function for URL conversions. The main
problem with this bug is that the ftp download uses that function and this
single- byte overflow could lead to very odd bugs (as one reported by Janne
Loading full blame...
