Daniel (24 October 2001)
- T. Bharath found a memory leak in the cookie engine. When we update a cookie
that we already knew about, we lost a chunk of memory in the progress... The
brand new test case 27 now tests for this occurrence. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/cookie.c.diff?r1=1.24&r2=1.25]
Daniel (23 October 2001)
- pack_hostent() didn't properly align some pointers, so at least SPARC CPUs
would core. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/hostip.c.diff?r1=1.34&r2=1.35]
Daniel (22 October 2001)
- Tom Benoist reported that this SGI IRIX compiler didn't handle indented
preprocessor instructions, so they're no longer in the source code!
- Applied Kevin Roth's patches to make it easier to build cygwin packages from
the out-of-the-box curl release archives.
- I forgot to mention it below, but libcurl now closes connections that report
transfer failures. Unconditionally. This could be made more nicely in the
future if we set a flag or something that the connection is still good to be
used for the errors that know that for a fact. We have to close the
connection for the cases where we abort for example a HTTP transfer in the
middle, or otherwise we might re-use that connection later with lots of data
still being sent to us on it.
Daniel (19 October 2001)
- CURLE_GOT_NOTHING is now returned when a HTTP server doesn't return
anything, not even a header. test case 37 was added to test for this.
- T. Bharath made curl_easy_duphandle() properly clone the cookie status as
well.
Version 7.9.1-pre4
Daniel (18 October 2001)
- CURLOPT_FAILONERROR, set with "curl --fail" no longer returns an error if
the HTTP return code is below 400.
Daniel (17 October 2001)
- The test suite now kills any running test http server when you re-start the
tests.
- We had to remote 'use strict' from two perl scripts, as the cygwin
adjustments didn't play nicely otherwise for some reason. Any perl wizard
out there who can put the scrict back and still make it run good on unix and
cygwin?
- A potential memory leak pointed out to us by Yanick Pelletier was removed.
It would occur when a http file transfer fails. [http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/lib/transfer.c.diff?r1=1.60&r2=1.61]
- The memory debugging system should no longer display anything to stderr
if the curl_memdebug() hasn't been used to explicitly say so. This makes it
easier to use the memory debug system and switch the logging on/off.
Daniel (16 October 2001)
- Kevin Roth provided fixes for building curl nicer in cygwin environments.
Daniel (12 October 2001)
- Cleaning up the progress meter/info code. The "current speed" is now more
accurate than before as we now use the true time spent between the measures,
and not just "assuming" every-second-update like before. The output should
now also be of the same width at all times, never to show "extra" zeroes on
the right edge.
- After talking about possible Location: bugs on the mailing list, I modified
the "absolute URL" checker in lib/transfer.c to be more strict when checking
if the redirected URL is absolute.
Daniel (11 October 2001)
- Kevin Roth provided patches that make the test suite run fine on Windows
2000 running cygwin.
Daniel (10 October 2001)
- Setting the -c or the CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option now enables the cookie parser.
Previously -b or CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE was also required for the jar to work.

Daniel (9 October 2001)
- Added a new option to the command line client: -0/--http1.0. It uses the new
libcurl option CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION to request that libcurl uses HTTP 1.0
requests instead of the default version (1.1). It should only be used if you
really MUST do that because of a silly remote server.
- Renamed the 'TimeCond' typedef in curl/curl.h to use a 'curl_' prefix as
all public curl-symbols should.
- libcurl now explicitly ignores the SIGPIPE signal.
Daniel (8 October 2001)
- Kevin Roth's change to the cookie-jar comment (in the stored file) was
applied.
- Lucas Adamski's minor bug in the bind error code failf() was fixed.
Daniel (5 October 2001)
- Moonesamy fixed the Curl_connecthost() function to not give compiler errors
on a bunch of compilers, due to the argument named 'socket'.
- Moonesamy also provided updated VC++ makefiles and project files.
Version 7.9.1-pre2
Daniel (4 October 2001)
- Albert Chin provided a configure patch that makes the script detect proper
gethostbyname_r() method without actually running any code, only compiling
is necessary. This also removes the need of having a resolving 'localhost'
name.
- Found and removed memory leakage (name resolve data) in libcurl on
IPv6-enabled hosts. These could sneak through because we didn't have any
resource tracing on the IPv6-related functions. We do now.
- Keith McGuigan patched away a (mainly Windows-) problem with the name
resolver data being kept in the static memory area, which is removed when a
thread is killed. The curl handle itself though perfectly handles being
passed between threads.
- Dirk Eddelbuettel reported an odd bug that turned out to be his proxy that
required an Authorization: header. Now, proxies are not supposed to require
that header, that is for true servers...
- I accidentally ruined Georg's curl_formadd(). Uh, bad me. Corrected now.
Version 7.9.1-pre1
Daniel (3 October 2001)
- Georg Huettenegger once again made an effort beyond the call of duty and not
only improved the curl_formadd() function, but also took care of adjusting
the curl command line client to use this new function instead of the
obsoleted curl_formparse.

Daniel (2 October 2001)
- Major fix in how libcurl does TCP connects. It now does non-blocking
connects to enable good timeouts without signals, and it now tries all IP
addresses for any given host (if it resolves more than one and the first
one(s) don't connect). Added a new source file 'connect.c' to deal with all
the TCP connect stuff.
- We now support IPv4-style IP-addresses in rfc2732-format, to better support
people writing scripts without knowing what address there is.
Daniel (28 September 2001)
- Cleanups in the FTP source code. Divided the code into even more smaller
functions and generally tried to make the differences between IPv4 and IPv6
get less noticable in the sources.
- If the remote file time is not readable/accessable/understood by libcurl,
libcurl now returns -1 in the CURLINFO_FILETIME data, not 0 as it previously
did. This should make curl not touch the file data unless there was a known
remote date when -R is used.
Daniel (27 September 2001)
- Working on getting non-blocking connects working platform independent. We
will also make curl try all IPs for a given host if the first one should
fail.
Daniel (26 September 2001)
- Kevin Roth provided a cookie example that proved the cookie jar
functionality wasn't working properly. I added test case 46 and made it
work.
Daniel (25 September 2001)
- Jörn Hartroth updated the mingw32 makefiles.
Version 7.9
Daniel (23 September 2001)
- Found and removed a 'socket leak' that would occur on IPv6 enabled hosts
when FTP RETR failed.
- Made the FTP upload tests run fine on machines with IPv6 enabled.
Version 7.9-pre8
Daniel (19 September 2001)
- Vojtech Minarik set up a special-purpose test server and provided me with
test certificates in order for me to repeat the bug reports #440068 and
#440373. It turned out we didn't check all the error codes properly. We do
now, and connecting with a unacceptable certificate will make libcurl fail
to connect with an error code returned.
- Ramana Mokkapati found a case when the Location: following code did wrong.
I wrote a test case for this (45).
Version 7.9-pre7
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing fixed telnet for win32. It makes libcurl require
winsock 2.0.
Loading full blame...
