                                 Old Changelog

Changes done to curl and libcurl from 1997 to 2008. The most recent changes are
always kept in the CHANGES file.

Version 7.19.2 (13 November 2008)

Michal Marek (13 Nov 2008)
- Fixed a potential data loss in Curl_client_write() when the transfer is
  paused.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2008)
- Rainer Canavan filed bug #2255627
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a
  program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a
  libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
  over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This
  happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too
  early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the
  bug #2107377

  The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both
  the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar
  fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but
  unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix!

Yang Tse (11 Nov 2008)
- Related with bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535)
  Daniel Fandrich noticed that curl_addrinfo was also missing in the build
  process of other four non-configure platforms. Added now.

Daniel Fandrich (7 Nov 2008)
- The getifaddrs() version of Curl_if2ip() crashed when used on a Linux
  system with a TEQL load-balancing device configured, which doesn't
  have an address.  Thanks to Adam Sampson for spotting this (bug #2234923).

Yang Tse (6 Nov 2008)
- Merged existing IPv4 and IPv6 Curl_ip2addr functions into a single one
  which now also takes a protocol address family argument.

- Bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535) pointed out a
  problem with MSVC 6 makefile that caused a build failure. It was noted that
  the curl_addrinfo.obj reference was missing. I took the opportunity to sort
  the list in which this was missing. Issue submitted by John Wilkinson.

Version 7.19.1 (5 November 2008)

Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2008)
- CURLINFO_FILETIME now works for file:// transfers as well

Daniel Stenberg (3 Nov 2008)
- Bug #2218480 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2218480) pointed out a
  problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
  pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
  the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
  places and ways previously and they are now unified.

Yang Tse (3 Nov 2008)
- Fix undersized IPv6 address internal buffer. IPv6 address strings longer
  than 35 characters would be truncated.

Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2008)
- Daniel Johnson reported and fixed:

  When c-ares isn't enabled, libcurl by default calls getaddrinfo with family
  set to PF_UNSPEC which causes getaddrinfo to return all available addresses,
  both IPv4 and IPv6. Libcurl then tries each one until it can connect. If the
  net connection doesn't support IPv6, libcurl can still fall back to IPv4.

  However, since c-ares doesn't support PF_UNSPEC, when it's used it defaults
  to using family=PF_INET6 and therefore only returns IPv6 addresses when AAAA
  records are available, even if IPv4 addresses are also available. The effect
  is that since my ISP doesn't do IPv6, libcurl can't connect at all to a site
  that has AAAA records. It will work if I explicitly use CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 or
  --ipv4 with the curl tool. I discovered this when curl would fail to connect
  to seemingly random sites. It turns out they weren't random, they were sites
  with AAAA records.

  So now libcurl defaults to PF_INET... until c-ares has been tought to offer
  both.

Yang Tse (31 Oct 2008)
- Tests 558 and 559 are stabilized. These two tests were initially introduced
  to aid in the location of a seg-fault which was only triggered on non-debug
  builds done with the icc 9.1 Intel compiler. Test 558 does not trigger the
  problem, but test 559 does trigger it. As of today, it isn't yet absolutely
  clear if it is a compiler optimizer issue or a memory corruption one.

Yang Tse (30 Oct 2008)
- Use our Curl_addrinfo structure definition to handle address info data even
  when a system addrinfo struct is available. Provide and use a wrapper around
  systems getaddrinfo function, Curl_getaddrinfo_ex which returns a pointer to
  a list of dynamically allocated Curl_addrinfo structs.

  Configure will check freeaddrinfo and getaddrinfo functions and define
  preprocessor symbols HAVE_FREEADDRINFO and HAVE_GETADDRINFO when appropriate.

Daniel Fandrich (29 Oct 2008)
- Fixed a bug that caused a few bytes of garbage to be sent after a
  curl_easy_pause() during a chunky upload. Reported by Steve Roskowski.

Daniel Fandrich (28 Oct 2008)
- Changed the "resolve" test precheck program to verify that an IPv6 socket
  can be created before resolving the IPv6 name.  In the context of running
  a test, it doesn't make sense to run an IPv6 test when a host is resolvable
  but IPv6 isn't usable.  This should fix failures of test 1085 on hosts with
  library and DNS support for IPv6 but where actual use of IPv6 has been
  administratively disabled.

Daniel Fandrich (24 Oct 2008)
- Added experimental support for zlib and OpenSSL on Symbian OS.

Daniel Fandrich (21 Oct 2008)
- Fixed some problems with SFTP range support to fix test cases 634 through
  637.

Daniel Fandrich (17 Oct 2008)
- Fixed a compile error reported by Albert Chin on AIX and IRIX when using
  GTLS.

Daniel Stenberg (16 Oct 2008)
- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that then
  make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
  these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
  that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.

Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
- Pascal Terjan filed bug #2154627
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
  uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
  Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
  strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
  just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
  function in libcurl (called Curl_raw_equal) for doing case insentive
  comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
  and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.

Daniel Fandrich (15 Oct 2008)
- A <precheck> command is considered to have failed if it returns a non-zero
  return code.  This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
  whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
  test to be skipped.

Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
- John Wilkinson filed bug #2155496
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2155496) pointing out an error case
  without a proper human-readable error message. When a read callback returns
  a too large value (like when trying to return a negative number) it would
  trigger and the generic error message then makes the proplem slightly
  different to track down. I've added an error message for this now.

Daniel Fandrich (9 Oct 2008)
- Fixed the --interface option to work with IPv6 connections on glibc
  systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6
  address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
  involved a name lookup.

Daniel Fandrich (8 Oct 2008)
- Added tests 1082 through 1085 to test symbolic --interface parameters

- Added tests 633 through 637 to test the new file range support for SFTP.
  All but the first test cause an infinite loop or other failure and so
  are added to DISABLED.

Daniel Stenberg (8 Oct 2008)
- John Wilkinson filed bug #2152270
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2152270) which identified and fixed a
  CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing:

  Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing
  the process potentially.

  Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect
  that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.

- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2111613
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2111613) that eventually identified a
  flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases missed to call the
  timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and added within the same
  millisecond.

- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to
  curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
  deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
  the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
  both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.

Daniel Fandrich (7 Oct 2008)
- Changed the handling of read/write errors in Curl_perform() to allow a
  a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
  This should fix test case 160.  Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
  test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
  hard to test reliably.

- Created test cases 1080 and 1081 to reproduce a problem of
  CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL leaking memory and returning incorrect results when
  two URLs are requested. Reported by vmpdemo in bug #2152270

Daniel Stenberg (7 Oct 2008)
- Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A then
  the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
  re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP
  address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report
  the info from host B.

Yang Tse (7 Oct 2008)
- Added --enable-optimize configure option to enable and disable compiler
  optimizations to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.

Yang Tse (2 Oct 2008)
- Added --enable-warnings configure option to enable and disable strict
  compiler warnings to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.

  runtests.pl will now run with picky compiler warnings enabled unless
  explicitly disabled.

Daniel Fandrich (1 Oct 2008)
- "make clean" now cleans out the docs and tests directories, too.

Daniel Stenberg (30 Sep 2008)
- The libcurl FTP code now returns CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND error when SIZE
  gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
  wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
  upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
  there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
  cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.

Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
- Daniel Egger provided a patch that allows you to disable proxy support in
  libcurl to somewhat reduce the size of the binary. Run configure
  --disable-proxy.

Daniel Fandrich (29 Sep 2008)
- Moved all signal-based name resolution timeout handling into a single new
  Curl_resolv_timeout function to reduce coupling.

Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
- Ian Lynagh provided a patch that now makes CURLOPT_RANGE work fine for SFTP
  downloads!

- Maxim Ivanov filed bug report #2107803
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107803) "no CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL in
  multi mode" together with a patch that fixed the problem.

Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2008)
- Emanuele Bovisio submitted bug report #2126435. We fixed the HTTP Digest
  auth code to not behave badly when getting a blank realm with
  realm="". http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2126435

Daniel Fandrich (23 Sep 2008)
- Make sure not to dereference the wrong UrlState proto union member when
  switching from one protocol to another in a single request (e.g.
  redirecting from HTTP to FTP as in test 1055) by resetting
  state.expect100header before every request.

Daniel Stenberg (23 Sep 2008)
- Introducing Jamie Lokier's function for date to epoch conversion used in the
  date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system-
  provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no
  longer depend on the TZ environment variable. Switching to our own converter
  has some side-effect and they are noted here for future reference (taken
  from a mail by mr Lokier):

  time_t is not measured in seconds in the ANSI C standard - or even counted
  uniformly - weird platforms can use other numeric representations of dates
  in time_t - hence the difftime() function.

  On POSIX time_t is measured in UTC seconds, which means not including leap
  seconds.  But it's mentioned in a few places that some old POSIX-ish
  environments include leap seconds in their time_t counts...

  I'm pretty sure [the new implementation is] correct on anything truly POSIX.
  And it's obviously a lot less dependent on platform quirks and corner cases
  in many ways than the mktime() version.

- Rob Crittenden brought a patch to "add some locking for thread-safety to NSS
  implementation".

Daniel Stenberg (22 Sep 2008)
- Made the SOCKS code use the new Curl_read_plain() function to fix the bug
  Markus Moeller reported: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-09/0016.html

- recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper
  CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now
  disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.

- Michael Goffioul filed bug report #2107377 "Problem with multi + GnuTLS +
  proxy" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107377) that showed how a multi
  interface using program didn't work when built with GnuTLS and a CONNECT
  request was done over a proxy (basically test 502 over a proxy to a HTTPS
  site). It turned out the ssl connect function would get called twice which
  caused the second call to fail.

Daniel Fandrich (22 Sep 2008)
- Fixed test 539 to handle an out of memory condition that shows up now
  that memdebug.h is included in the test programs.

Yang Tse (20 Sep 2008)
- Fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYS.

Yang Tse (19 Sep 2008)
- configure script now checks availability of the alarm() function.

Daniel Fandrich (18 Sep 2008)
- Don't bother to install a SIGALRM handler unless alarm() is available.
  Also, leave the existing SIGALRM handler alone if the timeout is too small
  to handle.

Daniel Fandrich (17 Sep 2008)
- Removed reference to curl-ca-bundle.crt in the host verification failure
  error message.

Yang Tse (17 Sep 2008)
- Improve configure detection of gethostname(), localtime_r(), strstr(),
  getservbyport_r(), gethostbyaddr_r() and gethostbyname_r().

Yang Tse (14 Sep 2008)
- Improve configure detection of strcasecmp(), strcasestr(), strcmpi(),
  stricmp(), strlcat(), strncasecmp(), strncmpi() and strnicmp().

Yang Tse (13 Sep 2008)
- Disable tracking of fdopen() calls in the low-level memory leak tracking
  code when fdopen() is not available, to avoid compiler error.

Yang Tse (12 Sep 2008)
- Further adjust detection of strerror_r() in the configure process, and
  ensure that errno is not modified inside Curl_strerror().

Yang Tse (10 Sep 2008)
- Improve detection of gmtime_r(), strtoll(), sigaction(), strtok_r(),
  strdup() and ftruncate() in the configure process.

Daniel Fandrich (9 Sep 2008)
- Mike Revi discovered some swapped speed switches documented in the curl man
  page.

- Checked in some documentation and code improvements and fixes that I
  discovered in the FreeBSD ports system.

Daniel Stenberg (8 Sep 2008)
- Dmitry Kurochkin patched a problem: I have found bug in pipelining through
  proxy. I have a transparent proxy. When running with http_proxy environment
  variable not set my test completes fine (it goes through transparent
  proxy). When I set http_proxy variable my test hangs after the first
  downloaded is complete. Looks like the second handle never gets out from
  WAITDO state.

  The fix: It makes checkPendPipeline move 1 handler from pend pipe to send
  pipe if pipelining is not supported by server but there are no handles in
  send and recv pipes.

- Stefan Krause pointed out that libcurl would wrongly send away cookies to
  sites in cases where the cookie clearly has a very old expiry date. The
  condition was simply that libcurl's date parser would fail to convert the
  date and it would then count as a (timed-based) match. Starting now, a
  missed date due to an unsupported date format or date range will now cause
  the cookie to not match.

Daniel Fandrich (5 Sep 2008)
- Improved the logic that decides whether to use HTTP 1.1 features or not in a
  request.  Setting a specific version with CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION overrides
  all other checks, but otherwise, a 1.0 request will be made if the server
  is known to support only 1.0 because it previously responded so and the
  connection was kept alive, or a response to a previous request on this handle
  came back as 1.0. The latter could take place in cases like redirection or
  authentication where several requests have to be made before the operation
  is complete.  If any one of the servers in a redirection chain supports only
  1.0, then remaining requests will be sent in 1.0 mode.

- Detect cases where an upload must be sent chunked and the server supports
  only HTTP 1.0 and return CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED.

Daniel Stenberg (5 Sep 2008)
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames
  CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
  don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
  libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
  subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
  patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
  option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.

- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. By
  enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS
  or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info
  can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with
  curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing
  helped me test and smoothen out this feature.

  Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use
  OpenSSL.

  This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!

- Dmitriy Sergeyev pointed out that curl_easy_pause() didn't unpause properly
  during certain conditions. I also changed this code to use realloc() based
  on Daniel Fandrich's suggestion.

Guenter Knauf (4 Sep 2008)
- MingW32 non-configure builds are now largefile feature enabled by default.
  NetWare LIBC builds are also now largefile feature enabled by default.

Yang Tse (4 Sep 2008)
- Several fixes related with print formatting string directives.

Daniel Fandrich (3 Sep 2008)
- Search for the FreeBSD CA cert file /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root.crt

Daniel Fandrich (2 Sep 2008)
- Fixed an out of memory problem that caused torture test failures in tests
  706 and 707.

Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2008)
- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-config
  file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in
  how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those
  tools should now always be synced.

Version 7.19.0 (1 September 2008)

Daniel Fandrich (29 Aug 2008)
- Added tests 1071 through 1074 to test automatic downgrading from HTTP 1.1
  to HTTP 1.0 upon receiving a response from the HTTP server.  Tests 1072
  and 1073 are similar to test 1069 in that they involve the impossible
  scenario of sending chunked data to a HTTP 1.0 server.  All these fail
  and are added to DISABLED.

- Added test 1075 to test --anyauth with Basic authentication.

Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
- When libcurl was doing a HTTP POST and the server would respond with
  "Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
  response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
  would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
  sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222

  Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
  getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
  "http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:
  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html

Daniel Stenberg (28 Aug 2008)
- Dengminwen reported that libcurl would lock a (cookie) share twice (without
  an unlock in between) for a certain case and that in fact works when using
  regular windows mutexes but not with pthreads'! Locks should of course not
  get locked again so this is now fixed.
  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0422.html

- I'm abandoning the system with the web site mirrors (but keeping download
  files bing mirrored) and thus I've changed the URL in the cookiejar header
  to no longer use curlm.haxx.se but instead use the main site curl.haxx.se

Daniel Fandrich (27 Aug 2008)
- Fixed test case 1065 by changing the handling of CURLOPT_UPLOAD to set
  the HTTP method to GET (or HEAD) when given a value of 0.

- Added test cases 1068 and 1069 to test a simple HTTP PUT from stdin.  Test
  case 1069 fails in a similar manner to test 1065 so is added to DISABLED.

Yang Tse (27 Aug 2008)
- Fix generation of MS VC6 .dsp file to make it support compilation of either
  dynamic (DLL) or static (LIB) libcurl libraries in debug and release modes.

Daniel Fandrich (26 Aug 2008)
- Fixed out of memory problems that caused torture test failures in tests
  1021 and 1067.

Yang Tse (26 Aug 2008)
- Added check and symbol definition for WIN32 file API usage in configure,
  supporting configure's --disable-largefile option for WIN32 targets also.

- Non-configure systems which do not use config-win32.h configuration file,
  and want to use the WIN32 file API, must define USE_WIN32_LARGE_FILES or
  USE_WIN32_SMALL_FILES as appropriate in their own configuration files.

Daniel Stenberg (23 Aug 2008)
- Running 'make ca-firefox' in the root build dir will now run the new
  firefox-db2pem.sh conversion script that converts a local Firefox db of ca
  certs into PEM format, suitable for use with a OpenSSL or GnuTLS built
  libcurl.

- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a bug when doing proxy CONNECT with the multi
  interface, and the proxy would send Connection: close during the
  authentication phase.  http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2069047

Daniel Fandrich (22 Aug 2008)
- Fixed a problem when --dump-header - was given with more than one URL,
  which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout
  being closed.  Added test case 1066 to verify.  Also fixed a potential
  problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload
  when more than one URL is given.

Yang Tse (22 Aug 2008)
- Improved libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions integral data type
  size and signedness handling.

- Internal adjustments to better select/differentiate when large/small file
  support is provided using WIN32 functions directly.

Daniel Fandrich (20 Aug 2008)
- Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quote
  commands to the man pages.

Daniel Stenberg (20 Aug 2008)
- Phil Pellouchoud pointed out that the windows version of libcurl had a
  memory leak because it never called the OpenSSL function
  CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() as it was supposed to. This was because of a
  missing define in config-win32.h!

Gisle Vanem (18 Aug 2008)
- Updated lib/Makefile.Watcom with the option to use c-ares (USE_ARES=1).

Yang Tse (18 Aug 2008)
- Added test case 557 to verify libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions
  formatting functionality when handling signed and unsigned longs, as well as
  our curl_off_t data type.

Yang Tse (17 Aug 2008)
- OpenSSl enabled NetWare builds are changed to use the 'openssl' subdirectory
  when including the OpenSSL header files. This is the recommended setting, this
  prevents the undesired inclusion of header files with the same name as those
  of OpenSSL but which do not belong to the OpenSSL package. The visible change
  from previously released libcurl versions is that now OpenSSl enabled NetWare
  builds also define USE_OPENSSL in config files, and that OpenSSL header files
  must be located in a subdirectory named 'openssl'.

Yang Tse (16 Aug 2008)
- Library internal only C preprocessor macros FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU
  remain in use as internal curl_off_t print formatting strings for the internal
  *printf functions which still cannot handle print formatting string directives
  such as "I64d", "I64u", and others available on MSVC, MinGW, Intel's ICC, and
  other DOS/Windows compilers.

Daniel Fandrich (15 Aug 2008)
- Added test case 1063 to test invalid long file ranges with file: URLs and
  1064 to test multiple http PUTs.

- Added test case 1065 to test a PUT with a single file but two URLs. This
  was discovered to be problematic while investigating an incident reported by
  Von back in May.  curl in this case doesn't include a Content-Length: or
  Transfer-Encoding: chunked header which is illegal. This test case is
  added to DISABLED until a solution is found.

Yang Tse (15 Aug 2008)
- C preprocessor macros used internally and equally available externally which
  aid in the use of the curl_off_t data type are named: CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T,
  CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T,
  CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C.

Yang Tse (13 Aug 2008)
- The size of long is a build time characteristic and as such it is now recorded
  in curlbuild.h as CURL_SIZEOF_LONG. Definition now done from configure process
  and in CVS curlbuild.h.dist for non-configure systems.

Daniel Fandrich (12 Aug 2008)
- Fixed a buffer overflow problem in Curl_proxyCONNECT that could occur
  when a server responded with long headers and data.  Luckily, the buffer
  overflowed into another unused buffer, so no actual harm was done.
  Added test cases 1060 and 1061 to verify.

Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2008)
- Andy Tsouladze fixed runtests.pl to not attempt to execute the stunnel
  _directory_ if that happened to appear in the path!

Yang Tse (12 Aug 2008)
- Added macros for minimum-width signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer
  constants CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C. The clever double helper macro
  used internally to provide its functionality is thanks to Lars Nilsson.

Daniel Fandrich (11 Aug 2008)
- Fixed a boundary condition error in ftp_readresp() whereby a non-terminal
  line of a multiline FTP response whose last byte landed exactly at the end
  of the BUFSIZE-length buffer would be treated as the terminal response
  line.  The following response code read in would then actually be the
  end of the previous response line, and all responses from then on would
  correspond to the wrong command. Test case 1062 verifies this.

- Stop closing a never-opened ftp socket.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2008)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042430
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows
  SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static
  variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading
  has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.

- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042440
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042440) with a patch. He identified a
  problem when using NTLM over a proxy but the end-point does Basic, and then
  libcurl would do wrong when the host sent "Connection: close" as the proxy's
  NTLM state was erroneously cleared.

Yang Tse (11 Aug 2008)
- Added missing signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer constant suffixes for
  internal and external use. CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU.

Daniel Fandrich (7 Aug 2008)
- Fixed an uninitialized variable in multi_runsingle() that could cause a
  request to prematurely end.

- Added test1059 to test the FTP proxy tunnel problem fixed July 11.

Yang Tse (7 Aug 2008)
- Added curlbuild.h and curlrules.h header files to libcurl's public headers.
  File curlbuild.h is a generated file on configure-capable systems. This is
  a first step towards configure-based info in public headers. Currently only
  used to provide support for a curl_off_t data type which is not gated to
  off_t. Further details are documented inside these mentioned header files.

- Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol
  results in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an
  expansion which consists of a single double-quoted string as the result of
  concatenating all of them.

- Skip data type check in DO_CURL_OFF_T_CHECK macro when argument is empty.

- Adjusted testcurl.pl to copy checked out curlbuild.h.dist as curlbuild.h
  for non-configure targets when the host system doesn't run buildconf.bat.

- Prevent buildconf from removing 'Makefile' and 'missing' files. This would
  blow away our CVS checked files 'missing' and 'hiper/Makefile'.

- Remove adjustment done to testcurl.pl to verify if change introduced by
  Guenter Knauf in lib/Makefile.netware is enough to get the netware autobuilds
  going again.

Yang Tse (5 Aug 2008)
- Changes done to buildconf script. Validate that autom4te and autoconf, as
  well as aclocal and automake, versions match. Improve removal of previous
  run generated files. Remove verbose debug logging of aclocal on Solaris.

Daniel Stenberg (5 Aug 2008)
- Yehoshua Hershberg found a problem that would make libcurl re-use a
  connection with the multi interface even if a previous use of it caused a
  CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION to get returned. I now make sure that failed
  SSL connections properly close the connections.

Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
- Test cases 1051, 1052 and 1055 were added by Daniel Fandrich on July 30 and
  proved how PUT and POST with a redirect could lead to a "hang" due to the
  data stream not being rewound properly when it had to in order to get sent
  properly (again) to the subsequent URL. This is now fixed and these test
  cases are no longer disabled.

Yang Tse (4 Aug 2008)
- Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
  Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. 2.62
  version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE and other four preprocessor symbols
  no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the traditional behaviour,
  and an uniform one across autoconf versions AC_AIX is replaced with our
  own internal macro CURL_CHECK_AIX_ALL_SOURCE.

Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
- Test case 1041 (added by Daniel Fandrich July 14th) proved a bug where PUT
  with -C - sent garbage in the Content-Range: header. I fixed this problem by
  making sure libcurl always sets the size of the _entire_ upload if an app
  attemps to do resumed uploads since libcurl simply cannot know the size of
  what is currently at the server end. Test 1041 is no longer disabled.

Yang Tse (2 Aug 2008)
- No longer test availability of the gdi32 library, nor use it for linking, even
  when we have been doing this since revision 1.47 of configure.ac 4 years and
  5 months ago when cross-compiling a Windows target. We actually don't use any
  function from the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) related with drawing
  or graphics-related operations.

Daniel Fandrich (1 Aug 2008)
- Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn't
  support this so it goes untested.

Yang Tse (1 Aug 2008)
- Configure process now checks if the preprocessor _REENTRANT symbol is already
  defined. If it isn't currently defined a set of checks are performed to test
  if its definition is required to make visible to the compiler a set of *_r
  functions. Finally, if _REENTRANT is already defined or needed it takes care
  of making adjustments necessary to ensure that it is defined equally for the
  configure process tests and generated config file.

- Removed definition of CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER from acinclude.m4 it has
  not been in use since revision 1.81 of configure.in 6 years, 9 months ago.

Daniel Fandrich (31 Jul 2008)
- Fixed parsing of an IPv6 proxy address to support a scope identifier,
  as well as IPv4 addresses in IPv6 format. Also, better handle the case
  of a malformatted IPv6 address (avoid empty and NULL strings).

- Fixed a problem with any FTP URL or any URLs containing an IPv6 address
  being mangled when passed to proxies when CURLOPT_PORT is also set
  (reported by Pramod Sharma).

- User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsed
  incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
  port number becomes the password.  This can be observed in test 279
  (was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).

Daniel Stenberg (30 Jul 2008)
- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted
  the URL parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the
  scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be
  URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
  "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"

- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a
  true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or
  less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that
  would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost
  all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start
  of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.

- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variable

Daniel Fandrich (30 Jul 2008)
- Added test cases 1052 through 1055 to test uploading data from files
  during redirects.  Test cases 1052 and 1055 show problems (maybe the same
  root cause as 1051) and are disabled.

- Fixed a couple of buffer overflows in the MS-DOS port of the curl tool.

Daniel Fandrich (29 Jul 2008)
- Fixed --use-ascii to properly convert text files on Symbian OS, MS-DOS
  and OS/2.

- Added test case 1051 to test Location: following with PUT, as reported
  by Ben Sutcliffe.  The test when run manually shows a problem in curl
  so it's disabled.

Daniel Fandrich (28 Jul 2008)
- Fixed display of the interface bind address in the trace output when it's
  an IPv6 address.

- Added test cases 1045 through 1049 as simple tests of --interface using the
  localhost interface.

- Added test case 1050 to test --ftp-port with an IPv6 address

Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2008)
- David Bau filed bug report #2026240 "CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE leads to buffer
  overrun" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2026240) identifying two
  problems, and providing the fix for them:

  - CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is
    designed for but paused _receiving_ of data!

  - libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return
    code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to
    the server.

Daniel Fandrich (26 Jul 2008)
- Added test 1044 to test large file support in ftp with -I.

- Eliminate a unnecessary socket creation in Curl_getaddrinfo for an IPv4
  address in an IPv6 capable libcurl.

- Added feature in runtests.pl to select tests based on key word.

Daniel Fandrich (23 Jul 2008)
- Changed the long logfile elision code in runtests.pl to properly handle
  lines ending in \r.

- Changed references to TRUE and FALSE in the curl_easy_setopt man page to
  1 and zero, respectively, since TRUE and FALSE aren't part of the
  libcurl API.

Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2008)
- I went over the curl_easy_setopt man page and replaced most references to
  non-zero with the fixed value of 1. We should strive at making options
  support '1' for enabling them mentioned explicitly, as that then will allow
  us for to extend them in the future without breaking older programs.

  Possibly we should even introduce a fancy define to use instead of '1' all
  over...

Yang Tse (21 Jul 2008)
- Use the sreadfrom() wrapper to replace recvfrom() in our code.

Yang Tse (20 Jul 2008)
- when recvfrom prototype uses a void pointer for arguments 2, 5 or 6 this will
  now cause the definition, as appropriate, of RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2_IS_VOID,
  RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5_IS_VOID or RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6_IS_VOID.

Yang Tse (17 Jul 2008)
- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
  to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.

Yang Tse (16 Jul 2008)
- Configure process now checks availability of recvfrom() socket function and
  finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
  for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
  will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.

Yang Tse (15 Jul 2008)
- Added description/comment to include paths used in several Makefile.am files.
  Added automake option nostdinc to test servers makefile and modified libcurl
  external headers include path for libtest programs.

Daniel Fandrich (14 Jul 2008)
- Added test1040 through test1043 to test -C - on HTTP. Test 1041 failed so
  it's added to DISABLED.

Yang Tse (14 Jul 2008)
- HTTP_ONLY definition check in lib/setup.h is now done once that configuration
  file has been included. In this way if symbol is defined in the config file
  it will no longer be ignored.  Removed inclusion of remaining system header
  files from configuration files. Moved _REENTRANT definition up/earlier in
  lib/setup.h

Yang Tse (11 Jul 2008)
- Added missing multiple header inclusion prevention definition for header
  file content_encoding.h

Daniel Fandrich (11 Jul 2008)
- Fixed test 553 to pass the torture test.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Jul 2008)
- Daniel Fandrich found out we didn't pass on the user-agent properly when
  doing "proxy-tunnels" with non-HTTP prototols and that was simply because
  the code assumed the user-agent was only needed for HTTP.

Daniel Fandrich (10 Jul 2008)
- Changed slightly the SFTP quote commands chmod, chown and chgrp to only
  set the attribute that has changed instead of all possible ones. Hopefully,
  this will solve the "Permission denied" problem that Nagarajan Sreenivasan
  reported when setting some modes, but regardless, it saves a protocol
  round trip in the chmod case.

- Added test cases 1038 and 1039 to test Adrian Kreher's report that ftp
  uploads with -C - didn't resume properly, but the tests pass.

Yang Tse (10 Jul 2008)
- Peter Lamberg filed bug report #2015126: "poll gives WSAEINVAL when POLLPRI
  is set in fdset.events" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2015126) which
  exactly pinpointed the problem only triggered on Windows Vista, provided
  reference to docs and also a fix. There is much work behind Peter Lamberg's
  excellent bug report. Thank You!

Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
- Added tests 1036 and 1037 to verify resumed ftp downloads with -C -

Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2008)
- Andreas Schuldei improved Phil Blundell's patch for IPv6 using c-ares, and I
  edited it slightly. Now you should be able to use IPv6 addresses fine even
  with libcurl built to use c-ares.

Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
- Fixed an OOM handling problem that cause test 11 to fail the torture test.

Daniel Fandrich (8 Jul 2008)
- Fixed test 554 to pass the torture test.

Daniel Fandrich (7 Jul 2008)
- Added test cases 1034 & 1035 to test IDN name conversion failures.

Daniel Stenberg (7 Jul 2008)
- Scott Barrett provided a test case for a segfault in the FTP code and the
  fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using
  CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but
  switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being
  cleared properly.  Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it
  verifies the fix.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Jul 2008)
- Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xx
  response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added
  test case 1033 to verify.

- Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():
  CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
  handshake/connection is completed. Which typically is SSL, TLS or SSH and by
  using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You
  can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
  'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.

Daniel Fandrich (2 Jul 2008)
- Support Open Watcom C on Linux (as well as Windows).

Yang Tse (2 Jul 2008)
- The previously committed fix for bug report #1999181 prevented using the
  monotonic clock on any system without an always supported POSIX compliant
  implementation. Now the POSIX compliant configuration check is removed and
  will fallback to gettimeofday when the monotonic clock is unavailable at
  run-time.

- The configure process will now halt when sed, grep, egrep or ar programs
  can not be found among the directories in PATH variable.

Daniel Stenberg (1 Jul 2008)
- Rolland Dudemaine provided fixes to get libcurl to build for the INTEGRITY
  operating system.

Daniel Stenberg (30 Jun 2008)
- Made the internal printf() support %llu properly to print unsigned long longs.

- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range code
  which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use
  unsigned.

Yang Tse (29 Jun 2008)
- John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on
  some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
  that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
  macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
  monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
  with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.

Daniel Fandrich (25 Jun 2008)
- Honour --stderr with the -v option.

- Fixed a file handle leak in the command line client if more than one
  --stderr option was given.

Daniel Stenberg (22 Jun 2008)
- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567
  (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that
  libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with
  --head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to
  verify.

Daniel Fandrich (21 Jun 2008)
- Stopped using ranges in scanf character sequences (e.g. %[a-z]) since that
  is not ANSI C, just a common extension.  This caused problems on
  at least Open Watcom C.

Yang Tse (20 Jun 2008)
- Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
  enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
  configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
  if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.

Daniel Stenberg (20 Jun 2008)
- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to
  handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
  recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
  plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
  that it made things work for him again.

- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy
  crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
  internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
  function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or
  SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh-
  related #ifdefs in the code for readability.

Daniel Stenberg (19 Jun 2008)
- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previously caused
  libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
  resolve done by c-ares is completed) and then immediately re-created and put
  to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
  "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
  tell the app about this close/re-create case.

- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the
  multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for,
  detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already
  in use!

Daniel Fandrich (18 Jun 2008)
- Added SSH failure test cases 628-632

- Fixed a memory leak in the command-line tool that caused a valgrind error.

Daniel Stenberg (18 Jun 2008)
- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer
  always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the
  multi interface is used. Original bug report:
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140

Yang Tse (18 Jun 2008)
- Internal configure script improvement. No longer break out of shell "for"
  statements from inside AC_FOO_IFELSE macros, otherwise temporary macro files
  are not properly removed.

Daniel Fandrich (12 Jun 2008)
- Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Jun 2008)
- I did a cleanup of the internal generic SSL layer and how the various SSL
  libraries are supported. Starting now, each underlying SSL library support
  code does a set of defines for the 16 functions the generic layer (sslgen.c)
  uses (all these new function defines use the prefix "curlssl_"). This
  greatly simplified the generic layer in readability by involving much less
  #ifdefs and other preprocessor stuff and should make it easier for people to
  make libcurl work with new SSL libraries.

  Hopefully I can later on document these 16 functions somewhat as well.

  I also made most of the internal SSL-dependent functions (using Curl_ssl_
  prefix) #defined to nothing when no SSL support is requested - previously
  they would unnecessarily call mostly empty functions.

  I've built libcurl with OpenSSL and GnuTLS and without SSL to test this and
  I've also tried building with NSS but the NSS support is a mystery to me and
  I failed to build libcurl with the NSS libraries I have installed. We really
  should A) improve our configure script to detect unsuitable NSS versions
  already at configure time and B) document our requirements better for the
  SSL libraries.
