Daniel (11 Nov 2002)
- Dave Halbakken added curl_version_info to lib/libcurl.def to make libcurl
properly build with MSVC on Windows.
Daniel (8 Nov 2002)
- Doing HTTP PUT without a specified file size now makes libcurl use
Transfer-Encoding: chunked.
Daniel (7 Nov 2002)
- Bug report #634625 identified how curl returned timeout immediately when
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT was used and provided a fix.
Version 7.10.2-pre4 (6 Nov 2002)
Daniel (5 Nov 2002)
- Lehel Bernadt found out and fixed. libcurl sent error message to the debug
output when it stored the error message.
- Avery Fay found some problems with the DNS cache (when the cache time was
set to 0 we got a memory leak, but when the leak was fixed he got a crash
when he used the CURLOPT_INTERFACE with that) that had me do some real
restructuring so that we now have a reference counter in the dns cache
entries to prevent an entry to get flushed while still actually in use.
I also detected that we previously didn't update the time stamp when we
extracted an entry from the cache so that must've been a reason for some
very weird dns cache bugs.
Version 7.10.2-pre3
Daniel (31 Oct 2002)
- Downgraded automake to 1.6.3 in an attempt to fix cygwin problems. (It
turned out this didn't help though.)
- Disable the DNS cache (by setting the timeout to 0) made libcurl leak
memory. Avery Fay brought the example code that proved this.
Version 7.10.2-pre2
Daniel (28 Oct 2002)
- Upgraded to autoconf 2.54 and automake 1.7 on the release-build host.
- Kevin Roth made the command line tool check for a CURL_CA_BUNDLE environment
variable (if --cacert isn't used) and if not set, the Windows version will
check for a file named "curl-ca-bundle.crt" in the current directory or the
directory where curl is located. That file is then used as CA root cert
bundle.
- Avery Fay pointed out that curl's configure scrip didn't get right if you
used autoconf newer than 2.52. This was due to some badly quoted code.
Version 7.10.2-pre1
Daniel (23 Oct 2002)
- Emiliano Ida confirmed that we now build properly with the Borland C++
compiler too. We needed yet another fix for the ISO cpp check in the curl.h
header file.
- Yet another fix was needed to get the HTTP download without headers to work.
This time it was needed if the first "believed header" was read all in the
first read. Test 306 has not run properly since the 11th october fix.
Daniel (21 Oct 2002)
- Zvi Har'El pointed out a problem with curl's name resolving on Redhat 8
machines (running IPv6 disabled). Mats Lidell let me use an account on his
machine and I could verify that gethostbyname_r() has been changed to return
EAGAIN instead of ERANGE when the given buffer size is too small. This is
glibc 2.2.93.
- Albert Chin helped me get the -no-undefined option corrected in
lib/Makefile.am since Cygwin builds want it there while Solaris builds don't
- Nikita Schmidt provided a bug fix for a FOLLOWLOCATION bug introduced when
the ../ support got in (7.10.1).
Daniel (18 Oct 2002)
- Fabrizio Ammollo pointed out a remaining problem with FOLLOWLOCATION in
the multi interface.
Daniel (17 Oct 2002)
- Richard Cooper's experimenting proved that -j (CURLOPT_COOKIESESSION) didn't
work quite as supposed. You needed to set it *before* you use
CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, and we dont' want that kind of dependencies.
Daniel (15 Oct 2002)
- Andrés García provided corrections for erratas in four libcurl man pages.
Daniel (13 Oct 2002)
- Starting now, we generate and include PDF versions of all the docs in the
release archives.
Daniel (12 Oct 2002)
- Trying to connect to a host on a bad port number caused the multi interface
to never return failure and it appeared to keep on trying forever (it just
didn't do anything).
Daniel (11 Oct 2002)
- Downloading HTTP without headers didn't work 100%, some of the initial data
got written twice. Kevin Roth reported.
- Kevin Roth found out the "config file" parser in the client code could
segfault, like if DOS newlines were used.
Version 7.10.1 (11 Oct 2002)
Daniel (10 Oct 2002)
- Jeff Lawson fixed a few problems with connection re-use that remained when
you set CURLOPT_PROXY to "".
Daniel (9 Oct 2002)
- Craig Davison found a terrible flaw and Cris Bailiff helped out in the
search. Getting HTTP data from servers when the headers are split up in
multiple reads, could cause junk data to get inserted among the saved
headers. This only concerns HTTP(S) headers.
Daniel (8 Oct 2002)
- Vincent Penquerc'h gave us the good suggestion that when the ERRRORBUFFER
is set internally, the error text is sent to the debug function as well.
- I fixed the telnet code to timeout properly as the option tells it to. On
non-windows platforms.
Daniel (7 Oct 2002)
- John Crow pointed out that libcurl-the-guide wasn't included in the release
tarball!
- Kevin Roth pointed out that make install didn't do right if build outside
the source tree (ca-bundle wise).
- Kevin Roth got problems with his cygwin build with -no-undefined was not
present in lib/Makefile.am so I put it back in there again. The poor one who
needs to remove it again must write a configure script to detect that need.
- Ralph Mitchell pointed out that curl was a bit naive and didn't deal with ./
or ../ stuff in the string passed back in a Location: header when following
locations.
- Albert Chin helped me to work out a better configure.in check for zlib, and
both --without-zlib and -with-zlib seem to work rather well right now.
- Zvi Har'El improvied the OpenSSL ENGINE check in the configure script to
become more accurate.
Daniel (1 Oct 2002)
- Detlef Schmier pointed out the lack of a --without-libz option to configure,
so I added one.
Version 7.10 (1 Oct 2002)
Daniel (30 Sep 2002)
- Modified the curl_version_info() proto and returned struct once again, and
updated the man page accordingly.
- Cris Bailiff found out that the pre-releases crashed on name lookups on
names such as "a:" or "baz:" (on Linux versions not being ipv6-enabled) due
to some weird return codes from gethostbyname_r(). I'll blame the complete
lack of docs in that department. Cris provided a fix, which I modified only
slightly.
Daniel (27 Sep 2002)
- After a suggestion from Christian Kurz to Debian curl package maintainer
Domenico Andreoli, I made it possible to override the proxy environment
variables better. Now, by setting -x "" you can explicitly tell libcurl to
not use a proxy, no matter whan the environment variables say.
Version 7.10-pre4
Daniel (26 Sep 2002)
- Extended curl_version_info() more and wrote a man page for it.
- libcurl could leak memory when downloading multiple files using http ranges,
reported and fixed by Jean-Luc Guevel.
- Walter J. Mack provided code and docs for the new curl_free() function that
shall be used to free memory that is allocated by libcurl and returned back
to the application, as curl_escape() and curl_unescape() do.
- Yarram Sunil pointed out a flaw in the multi interface where a failed
connection didn't close down properly and thus a second transfer using the
same handle failed.
- Andrés García fixed a flaw that made (among other things) dict-fetches
return a random value.
Daniel (24 Sep 2002)
- Wez Furlong brought his initial patch that introduced curl_version_info().
