                                  Changelog

Daniel (29 Jan)
- Jamie Wilkinson provided a patch that now makes curl attempt to clear out
  "sensitive" command line arguments so that they don't appear in ps outputs
  (only on platforms that allow writing to argv[]).

- John McGowan found out that the DEBUGFUNCTION could be called with bad
  arguments and thus cause the --trace outputs to go wrong.

- Removed all the emacs local variables from all files.

- Dave Halbakken found a problem with FTP downloads that could accidently
  return CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE when curl_easy_perform() was called with NOBODY
  set TRUE.

Daniel (27 Jan)
- The fopen.c example was flawed as Nick Humfrey noticed, and I fixed it to
  work again.

Daniel (24 Jan)
- Bertrand Demiddelaer found and fixed a memory leak (the content-type string)
  when following locations.

Daniel (22 Jan 2003)
- Ian Wilkes and Legoff Vincent both independently provided fixes for making
  curl/multi.h work properly when compiled with a C++ compiler.

Daniel (20 Jan 2003)
- Fixed 'buildconf' to check version number of the required tools before
  they're actually used.

- Wrote 'testcurl.sh', a script targeted for automatic and distributed curl
  tests on various platforms.

- David Thiel pointed out that the .netrc file was not being dealt with
  properly anymore. I broke this in the password prompting "fix".

- Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer patched libcurl to allocate the scratch buffer only
  on demand and thus we save 32KB in each curl handle that don't use that
  buffer. This need appeared when some people started using thousands of
  simultaneous curl handles... :-)

Daniel (16 Jan 2003)
- Markus Oberhumer fixed curl-config --cflags when the includedir was not
  /usr/include.

- Markus Oberhumer fixed CURLINFO_PRIVATE to properly return NULL if it was
  set to NULL!

Version 7.10.3 (14 Jan 2003)

Daniel (10 Jan 2003)
- Steve Oliphant pointed out that test case 105 did not work anymore and this
  was due to a missing fix for the password prompting.

Version 7.10.3-pre6 (10 Jan 2003)

Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
- Bryan Kemp pointed out that curl -u could not provide a blank password
  without prompting the user. It can now. -u username: makes the password
  empty, while -u username makes curl prompt the user for a password.

- Kjetil Jacobsen found a remaining connect problem in the multi interface on
  ipv4 systems (Linux only?), that I fixed and Kjetil verified that it fixed
  his problems.

- memanalyze.pl now reads a file name from the command line, and no longer
  takes the data on stdin as before.

Version 7.10.3-pre5 (9 Jan 2003)

Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
- Fixed tests/memanalyze.pl to work with file names that contain colons (as on
  Windows).
  
- Kjetil Jacobsen quickly pointed out that lib/share.h was missing...

Version 7.10.3-pre4 (9 Jan 2003)

Daniel (9 Jan 2003)
- Updated lib/share.c quite a bit to match the design document at
  http://curl.haxx.se/dev/sharing.txt a lot more.

  I'll try to update the document soonish. share.c is still not actually used
  by libcurl, but the API is slowly getting there and we can start
  implementing code that takes advantage of this system.

Daniel (8 Jan 2003)
- Updated share stuff in curl/curl.h, including data types, structs and
  function prototypes. The corresponding files in lib/ were also modified
  of course to remain compilable. Based on input from Jean-Philippe and also
  to make it more in line with the design document.

- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre patched a very trivial memory leak in
  curl_escape() that would happen when realloc() returns NULL...

- Matthew Blain provided feedback to make the --create-dirs stuff build
  properly on Windows.

- Fixed the #include in tests/libtest/first.c as Legoff Vincent pointed out.

Daniel (7 Jan 2003)
- Philippe Raoult provided a patch that now makes libcurl properly support
  wildcard checks for certificate names.

- Simon Liu added CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES, to let an application set other
  strings recognized as "HTTP 200" to allow http-like protocols to get
  downloaded fine by curl.

- Now using autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2

- Doing "curl -I ftp://domain/non-existing-file" still outputed a date!
  Wayne Haigh reported.

- The error message is now written properly with a newline in the --trace
  file.

Daniel (6 Jan 2003)
- Sterling Hughes fixed a possible bug: previously, if you called
  curl_easy_perform and then set the global dns cache, the global cache
  wouldn't be used. Pointed out by Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre.

- Matthew Blain's fixed the VC6 libcurl makefile to include better debug data
  on debug builds.

Daniel (27 Dec 2002)
- Philippe Raoult reported a bug with HTTPS connections which I evidently
  added in my 19 dec fix. I corrected it.

Daniel (20 Dec)
- Idea from the Debian latest patch: use AM_MAINTAINER_MODE in the configure
  script to make the default makefile less confusing "to the casual
  installer".

Version 7.10.3-pre3 (20 Dec)

Daniel (19 Dec)
- Matthew Blain patched the Curl_base64_decode() function.

- Evan Jordan reported in bug report #653022 that the SSL_read() usage was
  wrong, and it certainly was. It could lead to curl using too much CPU due to
  a stupid loop.

Daniel (18 Dec)
- As suggested by Margus Freudenthal, CURLE_HTTP_NOT_FOUND was renamed to
  CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR since it is returned on any >= 400 code when
  CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set.

Daniel (17 Dec)
- Bug reported #651464, reported by Christopher Palmer, provided an example
  source code using the multi interface that hang when trying to connect to a
  proxy on a localhost port where no proxy was listening. This bug was not
  repeatable on libcurls that were IPv6-enabled.

Daniel (16 Dec)
- Christopher Palmer also noticed what Vojtech Janota already was
  experiencing: The attempted name resolve fix for glibc 2.2.93 caused libcurl
  to crash when used on some older glibc versions. The problem is of course
  the silliness of the 2.2.93. I committed a fix that hopefully should make
  the binary run fine on either one of the versions, even though the solution
  is not as nice as I'd like it to be.

Daniel (13 Dec)
- Bug report #651460 by Christopher R. Palmer showed that when using libcurl
  to for example go over a proxy on localhost, it would attempt to connect
  through the proxy TWICE.

  I added test case 503 with which I managed to repeat this problem and I
  fixed the code to not re-attempt any connects (which also made it a nicer
  fix for the #650941 bug mentioned below).

  The sws server was extended to deal with CONNECT in order to make test
  case 503 do good.

- Evan Jordan posted bug report #650989 about a memory leak in the public key
  retrieving code. He provided a suggested fix and I merely applied it!

- Bug report #650941, posted by Christopher R. Palmer identified a problem
  with the multi interface and getting file:// URLs. This was now fixed and
  test case 502 was added to verify this.

Daniel (12 Dec)
- Test case 500 and 501 are the first ever libcurl test cases that run.

- Made "configure --enable-debug" cut off all -O* options to the compiler

- Finally fixed the test suite's ftp server so that test case 402 doesn't
  cause the following test case to fail anymore!

Daniel (11 Dec)
- CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is now decreased to 16KB since it makes the Windows
  version perform uploads much faster!!! RBramante did lots of research on
  this topic.
