                                  Changelog

Daniel (24 July 2004)
- I fixed the autobuilds with ares, since they now need to have buildconf run
  in the ares dir before the configure script is run.

- Added Casey O'Donnell's curl_easy_reset() function. It has a proto in
  curl/curl.h but we have no man page yet.

Daniel (20 July 2004)
- Added buildconf and buildconf.bat to the release archives, since they are
  handy for rebuilding curl when using a daily snapshot (and not a pure CVS
  checkout).

Daniel (16 July 2004)
- As suggested by Toby Peterson, libcurl now ignores Content-Length data if the
  given size is a negative number. Test case 178 verifies this.

Daniel (14 July 2004)
- Günter Knauf has made the Netware builds do without the config-netware.h
  files, so they are now removed from the dist packages.

- Günter Knauf made curl and libcurl build with Borland again.

- Andres Garcia fixed the common test 505 failures on windows.

Daniel (6 July 2004)
- Andrés García found out why the windows tests failed on file:// "uploads".

Daniel (2 July 2004)
- Andrés García reported a curl_share_cleanup() crash that occurs when no
  lock/unlock callbacks have been set and the share is cleaned up.

Daniel (1 July 2004)
- When using curl --trace or --trace-ascii, no trace messages that were sent
  by curl_easy_cleanup() were included in the trace file. This made the
  message "Closing connection #0" never appear in trace dumps.
  
Daniel (30 June 2004)
- Niels van Tongeren found that setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE doesn't disable
  a previously set POST request, making a very odd request get sent (unless
  you disabled the POST) a HEAD request with a POST request-body. I've now
  made CURLOPT_NOBODY enforce a proper HEAD. Added test case 514 for this.

Daniel (29 June 2004)
- Günter Knauf made the testcurl.pl script capable of using a custom setup
  file to easier run multiple autobuilds on the same source tree.

- Gisle fixed the djgpp build and fixed a memory problem in some of the
  reorged name resolved code.

- Fixed code to allow connects done using the multi interface to attempt the
  next IP when connecting to a host that resolves to multiple IPs and a
  connect attempt fails.
  
Daniel (27 June 2004)
- Based on Rob Stanzel's bug report #979480, I wrote a configure check that
  checks if poll() can be used to wait on NULL as otherwise select() should be
  used to do it. The select() usage was also fixed according to his report.

  Mac OS X 10.3 says "poll() functionality for Mac OS X is implemented via an
  emulation layer on top of select(), not in the kernel directly. It is
  recommended that programs running under OS X 10.3 prefer select() over
  poll(). Configure scripts should look for the _POLL_EMUL_H_ define (instead
  of _POLL_H_ or _SYS_POLL_H_) and avoid implementations where poll is not
  implemented in the kernel."

  Yes, we can probably use select() on most platforms but today I prefered to
  leave the code unaltered.

Daniel (24 June 2004)
- The standard curl_version() string now only includes version info about
  involved libraries and not about particular features. Thus it will no longer
  include info about ipv6 nor GSS. That info is of course still available in
  the feature bitmask curl_version_info() offers.

- Replaced all occurances of sprintf() with snprintf(). This is mostly because
  it is "A Good Thing" rather than actually fixing any known problem. This
  will help preventing future possible mistakes to cause buffer overflows.

- Major reorganization in the host resolve code (again). This time, I've
  modified the code to now always use a linked list of Curl_addrinfo structs
  to return resolved info in, no matter what resolver method or support that
  is available on the platform. It makes it a lot easier to write code that
  uses or depends on resolved data.

  Internally, this means amongst other things that we can stop doing the weird
  "increase buffer size until it works" trick when resolving hosts on
  ipv4-only with gethostbyname_r(), we support socks even on libcurls built
  with ipv6 enabled (but only to socks servers that resolve to an ipv4
  address) and we no longer deep-copy or relocate hostent structs (we create
  Curl_addrinfo chains instead).

  The new "hostent to Curl_addrinfo" converter function is named Curl_he2ai()
  and is slightly naive and simple, yet I believe it is functional enough to
  work for libcurl.

Daniel (22 June 2004)
- David Cohen pointed out that RFC2109 says clients should allow cookies to
  contain least 4096 bytes while libcurl only allowed 2047. I raised the limit
  to 4999 now and made the used buffer get malloc()ed instead of simply
  allocated on stack as before. Extended test case 46 to include a cookie with
  very huge content to verify the fix.

- Günter Knauf fixed getdate.y to remove a few warnings. I removed the
  ifdef'ed test we never ever use anyway.

- Gisle Vanem fixed the certificate wildcard checks to support a '*'-letter
  anywhere in the wildcard string, support multiple '*'-letters in the
  wildcard and to allow the '*'-letter to match a string that includes a dot.

Daniel (21 June 2004)
- testcurl.sh is now removed completely, tests/testcurl.pl is the script to
  use when autobuilding curl!

- Kjetil Jacobsen brought my attention to the fact that you cannot properly
  abort an upload with the readfunction callback, since returning 0 or -1 only
  stops the upload and libcurl will continue waiting for downloaded data and
  the server often waits for the rest of the upload data to arrive.

  Thus, I've now added the ability for read callbacks to return
  CURL_READFUNC_ABORT to abort an upload from a read callback. This will stop
  the transfer immediately with a CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK return code.

  Test case 513 was added to verify that it works. I had to improve the test
  HTTP server too to dump the request to a file even when the client
  disconnects prematurely.
  
Daniel (19 June 2004)
- Luca Alteas provided a test case with a failing curl operation: when we POST
  to a site with --digest (or similar) set, and the server responded with a 302
  Location: to the "authprobe" request, it was not treated correctly. We still
  will behave badly if FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled for this case, but I'm not
  in the mood to dive into this right now and will leave it as-is for now.
  Verified my fix with test case 177.

Daniel (18 June 2004)
- Gisle Vanem's patch that provides more details from the SSL layers (if you
  use an OpenSSL version that supports it). It also introduces two new types
  of data that can be sent to the debug callback: CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_IN and
  CURLINFO_SSL_DATA_OUT.

- With David Byron's test server I could repeat his problem and make sure that
  POSTing over HTTPS:// with NTLM works fine now. There was a general problem
  with multi-pass authentication with non-GET operations with CONNECT.

Daniel (16 June 2004)
- Modified to keep the upload byte counter in an curl_off_t, not an int as
  before. 32bits is not enough. This is most likely the bug Jean-Louis Lemaire
  reported that makes 2GB FTP uploads to report error ("unaligned file sizes")
  when completed.

Daniel (15 June 2004)
- Luca Alteas reported a problem that I fixed: if you did a POST with
  CURLAUTH_DIGEST set but the server didn't require any authentication,
  libcurl would repeatedly send HEAD lots of times until it gives up. This was
  actually the case for all multi-pass authentications. Added test case 174,
  175 and 176 to verify this.

Daniel (14 June 2004)
- Multipart formposts uploading files no longer inserts the files themselves
  into the huge prebuilt chunk. This enables libcurl to formpost files that is
  larger than the amount of system memory. When the file given is passed on
  stdin, libcurl still uses the old method of reading the full fill before the
  upload takes place. This approach was selected in order to not alter the
  behavior for existing applications, as when using stdin libcurl can't know
  the size of the upload and chunked transfer-encoding can only be used on
  HTTP 1.1 servers.

Daniel (13 June 2004)
- Gisle found out that we did wildcard cert name checks wrong, so that parts
  of the check wrongly was case sensitive.

Daniel (11 June 2004)
- Tim Sneddon brought a minor VMS fix to make curl build properly on his VMS
  machine. He also had some interesting libcurl patches... they might be able
  to do in a slightly nicer way. Discussions are in progress.

Daniel (10 June 2004)
- Gisle Vanem brought code cleanupsm better verbose output and better connect
  timeout handling when attempting to connect to a host that resolves to
  multiple IP addresses.

- Steven Bazyl and Seshubabu Pasam pointed out a bug on win32 when freeing the
  path after a file:// transfer.

Daniel (9 June 2004)
- Alexander Krasnostavsky made 'configure --disable-http' work to build libcurl
  without HTTP support. I added a new return code for curl_formadd() in case
  libcurl is built with HTTP disable: CURL_FORMADD_DISABLED.

- Alexander Krasnostavsky pointed out a missing file in the generated
  curllib.dsp file, and now people building with this should get a libcurl.lib
  file generated as it used to do before we generated this file.
