Daniel (22 Apr)
- Peter Sylvester pointed out that curl_easy_setopt() will always (wrongly)
  return CURLE_OK no matter what happens.

Daniel (16 Apr)
- Fixed minor typo in man page, reported in the Debian bug tracker.

Daniel (15 Apr)
- Fixed some FTP tests in the test suite that failed on my Solaris host, due
  to the config.h not being included before the system headers. When done that
  way, it did get a mixed sense of if big files are supported or not and then
  stat() and fstat() (as used in test case 505) got confused and failed to
  return a proper file size.

- Formposting a file using a .html suffix is now properly set to Content-Type:    text/html.

Daniel (14 Apr)
- Fixed the SSL error handling to return proper SSL error messages again, they
  broke in 7.10.4. I also attempt to track down CA cert problems and then
  return the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code.

- The curl tool now intercepts the CURLE_SSL_CACERT error code and displays
  a fairly big and explanatory error message. Kevin Roth helped me out with
  the wording.

Daniel (11 Apr)
- Nic Hines provided a second patch for gzip decompression, and fixed a bug
  when deflate or gzip contents were downloaded using chunked encoding.

- Dan Fandrich made libcurl support automatic decompression of gzip contents
  (as an addition to the previous deflate support).

- I made the CWD command during FTP session consider all 2xy codes to be OK
  responses.

Daniel (10 Apr)
- Vlad Krupin fixed a URL parsing issue. URLs that were not using a slash
  after the host name, but still had "?" and parameters appended, as in
  "http://hostname.com?foobar=moo", were not properly parsed by libcurl.

Daniel (9 Apr)
- Made CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION work for FTP transfers, using the same syntax as
  for HTTP. This then made -z work for ftp transfers too. Added test case 139
  and 140 for verifying this.

- Getting the file date of an ftp file used the wrong time zone when
  displayed. It is supposedly always GMT. Added test case 141 for this.

- Made the test suite's FTP server support MDTM.

- The default DEBUGFUNCTION, as enabled with CURLOPT_VERBOSE now outputs
  CURLINFO_HEADER_IN data as well. The most notable effect from this is that
  using curl -v, you get to see the incoming "headers" as well. This is
  perhaps most useful when doing ftp.

Daniel (8 Apr)
- James Bursa fixed a flaw in the Content-Type extraction code, which missed
  the first letter if no space followed the colon.

- Magnus Nilsson pointed out that share.c was missing in the MSVC project
  file.

Daniel (6 Apr)
- Ryan Weaver provided a patch that makes the CA cert bundle not get installed
  anymore when 'configure --without-ssl' has been used.

Daniel (4 Apr)
- Martijn Broenland found another cases where a server application didn't
  like the boundary string used by curl when foing a multi-part/formpost. We
  modified the boundary string to look like the one IE uses, as this is
  probably gonna make curl work with more applications.

Daniel (3 Apr)
- Kevin Roth reported that a bunch of tests fails on cygwin. One set fails
  when using perl 5.8 (and they run fine with perl 5.6), and another set
  failed because of an artifact in the test suite's FTP server that I
  corrected. It turned out the FTP server code was still having a file opened
  while the main test script removed it and invoked the HTTP server that
  attempted to create the same file name of the file the FTP server kept open.
  This operation works fine on unix, but not on cygwin.

Version 7.10.4 (2 Apr 2003)

Daniel (1 Apr)
- Added test case 505 to exercise FTP upload with rename done with libcurl,
  and for that I had to extend the test suite's FTP server to deal with the
  RNFR and RNTO commands.

Daniel (31 Mar)
- Even more SSL config check modifications after Richard's testing.

Version 7.10.4-pre6 (31 Mar 2003)

Daniel Stenberg committed
- More fixes for the SSL session ID cache checks when SSL configs are changed
  between connections. Based on tests and talks with Richard Bramante.

- Guillaume Cottenceau provided a patch that added CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH.
  When enabled, it will prevent libcurl from limiting to which host it sends
  user+password to when following locations. By default, libcurl only sends
  name and password to the original host used in the first URL, but with this
  option set it will send the auth info to all hosts it follows location
  headers to. The new tool command line option for this is named
  "--location-trusted".

- Frankie Fong reported a problem with libcurl if you re-used an easy handle
  with a proxy, and you first made a https:// connction to a host and then
  switched to a http:// one to the same host. libcurl would then wrongly re-use
  the same connection for it and fail to get the second URL properly

Daniel (29 Mar)
- Dan Shearer's fix that makes curl complain if invoked with nothing but "curl
  -O" was applied.

Daniel (26 Mar)
- Bryan Kemp was friendly enough to lend me an account on his Redhat 9 box and
  I could fix the configure problems on redhat 8.1 and 9 in no time thanks to
  this. Thanks a bunch Bryan!

Daniel (25 Mar)
- Renamed configure.in to configure.ac

Version 7.10.4-pre5 (25 Mar 2003)

Daniel (25 Mar)
- Richard Bramante provided a fix for a handle re-use problem seen when you
  change options on an SSL-enabled connection between requests. Previously,
  changing peer verification or host verification and similar things was not
  taken into account when a connection were checked for re-use and thus
  enabling stricter check between requests on a re-used connection made no
  difference and the connection would thus be used erroneously.

Daniel (24 Mar)
- Götz Babin-Ebell pointed out that the ca-bundle.crt file contained a
  certificate from Trustcenter that was a demo certificate only that was never
  indended to be part of a CA bundle.

Daniel (21 Mar)
- Life is a mystery. Within a time period of 17 hours, Tim Pope and Michael
  Churchill filed one bug report each, both identifying problems with a second
  transfer when doing persistant transfers re-using a connection. Tim's one is
  #706624, labeled "Multiple uploads per handle fail" and Michael's #707003
  "Does not send Authorization: header when reusing connection". I could track
  both down to the same piece of logic and it turned out libcurl was not using
  new settings properly when re-using an existing connection. This concerned
  both uploading and downloading and involved exactly those pieces these two
  reports identified. This code has been this faulty since the day I
  introduced persistant connection support in libcurl, more than 2 years ago.

Daniel (20 Mar 2003)
- Five year anniversary. Today five years ago, the first ever curl release saw
  the light of day.

Daniel (17 Mar)
- Andy Cedilnik corrected flaws in some libcurl example-usage sources.

Daniel (16 Mar)
- Juan F. Codagnone reported that the fix from March 2nd was incomplete.

- Added code to the configure.in to check for select() argument types. I've
  not made any code use the results just yet though.

Daniel (15 Mar)
- Gisle Vanem provided two patches to build better on Windows.

- Adjusted the test suite code to better make sure that the server(s) required
  for a specific test is properly started before the test case is attempted.
  Many tests now run a lot faster than before.

Daniel (14 Mar)
- Another configure.in adjustment made the configure detect functions properly
  on HPUX now.

Daniel (13 Mar)
- Philippe Raoult fixed pre4-compile quirks for FreeBSD.

Version 7.10.4-pre4 (13 Mar 2003)

Daniel (13 Mar)
- Added a backup-check for functions that aren't found by AC_CHECK_FUNCS()
  as I believe some checks on HPUX need this. At least some of the info given
  to us by Rick Jones seemed to indicate this.

Daniel (12 Mar)
- Thomas Tonino found out that if you used the curl tool to do PUT operations
  as in 'curl www.foo.com/dir/ -T file' and the file name included for example
  space or other characters that don't belong in URLs, curl did not properly
  URL encode them before using them in the URL.

- Added an option to configure called --enable-libgcc that simply adds -lgcc
  to the LIBS variable, as this seems to be a common problem.
