                                  Changelog

Daniel (4 October 2004)
- Chris found a race condition resulting in CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST and
  potential crash, in the windows threaded name resolver code.

Daniel (3 October 2004)
- Replaced the use of isspace() in cookie.c with our own version instead since
  we have most data as 'char *' and that makes us pass in negative values if
  there is 8bit data in the string. Changing to unsigned causes too much
  warnings or too many required typecasts to the normal string functions.
  Harshal Pradhan identified this problem.

Daniel (2 October 2004)
- Bertrand Demiddelaer found a case where libcurl could read already freed
  data when CURLOPT_VERBOSE is used and a (very) persistent connection. It
  happened when the dns cache entry for the connection was pruned while the
  connection was still alive and then again re-used. We worked together on
  this fix.

- Gisle Vanem provided code that displays an error message when the (libidn
  based) IDN conversion fails. This is really due to a missing suitable
  function in the libidn API that I hope we can remove once libidn gets a
  function like this.

Daniel (1 October 2004)
- Aleksandar Milivojevic reported a problem in the Redhat bugzilla (see
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134133) and not to
  anyone involved in the curl project! This happens when you try to curl a
  file from a proftpd site using SSL. It seems proftpd sends a somewhat
  unorthodox response code (232 instead of 230). I relaxed the response code
  check to deal with this and similar cases.

- Based on Fedor Karpelevitch's formpost path basename patch, file parts in
  formposts no longer include the path part. If you _really_ want them, you
  must provide your preferred full file name with CURLFORM_FILENAME.

  Added detection for libgen.h and basename() to configure. My custom
  basename() replacement function for systems without it, might be a bit too
  naive...

  Updated 6 test cases to make them work with the stripped paths.

Daniel (30 September 2004)
- Larry Campbell added CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to curl_easy_getinfo() that allows an
  app to retrieve the errno variable after a (connect) failure. It will make
  sense to provide this for more failures in a more generic way, but let's
  start like this.

- Günter Knauf and Casey O'Donnell worked out an extra #if condition for the
  curl/multi.h header to work better in winsock-using apps.

- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre made buildconf run better on Mac OS X by
  properly using glibtoolize instead of plain libtoolize. (This is made if
  glibtool was found and used instead of plain libtool.)

Daniel (29 September 2004)
- Bertrand Demiddelaer fixed curl_easy_reset() so that it doesn't mistakingly
  enable the progress meter.

Daniel (28 September 2004)
- "Mekonikum" found out that if you built curl without SSL support, although
  your current SSL installation supports Engine, the compile fails.

Daniel (27 September 2004)
- When --with-ssl=PATH is used to the configure script, it no longer uses
  pkg-config to figure out extra details. That is now only done if no PATH is
  included or if SSL is checked for by default without the --with-ssl option.

Daniel (25 September 2004)
- Peter Sylvester pointed out that CURLOPT_SSLENGINE couldn't even be set to
  NULL when no engine was supported. It can now.

Daniel (22 September 2004)
- Dan Fandrich fixed three test cases to no longer use "localhost" but instead
  use "127.0.0.1" to avoid requiring that localhost resolves nicely.

- Jean-Claude Chauve fixed an LDAP crash when more than one record was
  retrieved.

Daniel (19 September 2004)
- Andreas Rieke pointed out that when attempting to connect to a host without
  a service on the specified port, curl_easy_perform() didn't properly provide
  an error message in the CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER buffer.

Daniel (16 September 2004)
- Daniel at touchtunes uses the FTP+SSL server "BSDFTPD-SSL from
  http://bsdftpd-ssl.sc.ru/" which accordingly doesn't properly work with curl
  when "AUTH SSL" is issued (although the server responds fine and everything)
  but requires that curl issues "AUTH TLS" instead. See
  http://curl.haxx.se/feedback/display.cgi?id=10951944937603&support=yes

  Introducing CURLOPT_FTPSSLAUTH that allows the application to select which
  of the AUTH strings to attempt first.

- Anonymous filed bug report #1029478 which identified a bug when you 1) used
  a URL without properly seperating the host name and the parameters with a
  slash. 2) the URL had parameters to the right of a ? that contains a slash
  3) curl was told to follow Location:s 4) the request got a response that
  contained a Location: to redirect to "/dir". curl then appended the new path
  on the wrong position of the original URL.

  Test case 187 was added to verify that this was fixed properly.

Daniel (11 September 2004)
- Added parsedate.c that contains a rewrite of the date parser currently
  provided by getdate.y. The new one is MUCH smaller and will allow us to run
  away from the yacc/bison jungle. It is also slightly lacking in features
  compared to the old one, but it supports parsing of all date formats HTTP
  involves (and a fair bunch of others).

Daniel (10 September 2004)
- As found out by Jonas Forsman, curl didn't allow -F to set Content-Type on
  text-parts. Starting now, we can do -F "name=daniel;type=text/extra". Added
  test case 186 to verify.

- Bug report #1025986. When following a Location: with a custom Host: header
  replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request
  and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with
  two Host: headers.

  Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request
  and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another
  host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the
  second Host: header get used in the request.

  This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185.

Daniel (8 September 2004)
- Modified the test suite to be able to use and run with customized port
  numbers. This was always intended but never before possible. Now a simple
  change in the runtests.pl script can make all tests use different ports.
  The default ports in use from now on are 8990 to 8993.

Daniel (2 September 2004)
- Minor modification of an SSL-related error message.

Daniel (31 August 2004)
- David Tarendash found out that curl_multi_add_handle() returned
  CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM instead of CURLM_OK.

Daniel (30 August 2004)
- Make "Proxy-Connection: close" close the current proxy connection, as Roman
  Koifman found out.

Daniel (24 August 2004)
- Fixed a getdate problem by post-replacing the getdate.c file after the
  bison/yacc process to add the fix Harshal Pradhan suggested. The problem
  caused a crash on Windows when parsing some dates.

Daniel (23 August 2004)
- Roman Koifman pointed out that libcurl send Expect: 100-continue on POSTs
  even when told to use HTTP 1.0, which is not correct. Test case 180 and
  181 verify this.

- Added test case 182 to verify that zero byte transfers call the callback
  properly.

Daniel (20 August 2004)
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made the write callback get called even when a zero
  byte file is downloaded.

Daniel (18 August 2004)
- Ling Thio pointed out that when libcurl is built ipv6-enabled, it still did
  reverse DNS lookups when fed with a numerical IP-address (like
  http://127.0.0.1/), although it doesn't when built ipv6-disabled. libcurl
  should never do reverse lookups.

Daniel (17 August 2004)
- Kjetil Jacobsen noticed that when transferring a file:// URL pointing to an
  empty file, libcurl would return with the file still open.

- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out that the configure script needs to define
  _THREAD_SAFE for AIX systems to make libcurl built really thread-safe.

  Also added a check for the xlc compiler on AIX, and if that is detect we use
  the -qthreaded compiler option

Daniel (16 August 2004)
- libcurl now allows a custom "Accept-Encoding:" header override the
  internally set one that gets set with CURLOPT_ENCODING. Pointed out by Alex.

- Roland Krikava found and fixed a cookie problem when using a proxy (the
  path matching was wrong). I added test case 179 to verify that we now do
  right.

Daniel (15 August 2004)
- Casey O'Donnell fixed some MSVC makefile targets to link properly.

Daniel (11 August 2004)
- configure now defines _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 on systems that need it to build
  warning-free (the only known one so far is non-gcc builds on 64bit SGI
  IRIX). (Reverted this change later as it caused compiler errors.)
