Daniel (4 Oct 2002)
- 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().
We might need to tweak it somewhat before release.
Daniel (20 Sep 2002)
- Craig Markwardt fixed another Tru64 IP resolve problem.
Daniel (19 Sep 2002)
- Dolbneff A.V and Spiridonoff A.V made the file:// code work with resumes
in the same style other code does.
- Ilguiz Latypov fixed a flaw in the client code when fetching multiple URLs
and -C - was used. The first file's resume position was then accidentally
reused on all the other files too.
Daniel (18 Sep 2002)
- The curl_easy_setopt.3 man page was greatly modified and the options have
now been grouped in logical groups so that it should be somewhat easier to
read it and find things you search for.
Daniel (13 Sep 2002)
- Kevin Roth pinpointed a scary flaw in libcurl, when the HTTP server doesn't
send any headers back, only raw content. Right, that is a violation of the
standard but still happens at times and we need to deal with it. Test case
306 was added to verify that we do right now.
Version 7.10-pre3
Daniel (11 Sep 2002)
- Lukasz Czekierda found out that curl didn't send a correct HTTP Host: header
when you specified the URL with an IPv6 IP-address.
Daniel (4 Sep 2002)
- Sven Neuhaus made --silent being acknowledged even when multiple URLs
were used. It used to output "[1/2]: http://host/a.html.de --> a.html.d" etc
even when told to shut up.
Daniel (3 Sep 2002)
- Updated all source code headers to use MIT-license references only, and
point to the COPYING file and the http://curl.haxx.se/docs/copyright.html
URL. I've cut out all references to MPL that I could find.
- Corected the makefiles to not always use -lz when linking
Daniel (2 Sep 2002)
- James Gallagher added Content-Encoding support to libcurl so now curl and
libcurl-using apps can request compressed contents using the 'deflate'
method. See the special file lib/README.encoding for details.
curl --compressed is now used to request compressed contents.
curl-config --feature will include 'libz' if this feature was around when
the library was built.
Daniel (30 Aug 2002)
- Applied an anonymous SOCKS5-proxy patch. Not properly working in all
situations though, as all getaddrinfo()-using libcurls will fail on this.
This is because of the somewhat naive way the current code tries to extract
the IP address of the proxy.
- Fixed up the SSL cert fixes from the other day even more after more inputs
from Cris. Added three new SSL error codes to make the
CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR slightly less overloaded.
Daniel (27 Aug 2002)
- After lots of talk with Tom Zerucha, Nick Gimbrone and Cris Bailiff I
decided to talk the bold path and I now made libcurl do CA certificate
verification by default. Thus library users need to explicitly turn this off
if you want to connect to sites without proper checking. We also install a
CA cert bundle on 'make install' now.
The curl tool now requires the -k/--insecure option in order to allow
connections and operations on SSL sites that aren't properly verified with
-cafile or --capath.
curl-config --ca displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle.
Daniel (26 Aug 2002)
- Andrew Francis cleaned up some code that now compiles fine without the need
for ugly MSVC pragmas.
- Keith MacDonald found a minor bug in src/main.c that made it close stdin
instead of the actual file handle. It shouldn't have resulted in much
trouble as most operating systems close all file handles on process exit
anyway.
Daniel (22 Aug 2002)
- Markus Oberhumer provided some documentation for his previously provided
CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL fix.
- Patched the lib/Makefile.am to hopefully no longer complain on undefined
symbols that seemed to occur on builds with shared OpenSSL libraries on
Solaris lately...
Daniel (20 Aug 2002)
- Fixed compiler warnings on MSCV++ compiles. We're looking for help here:
remove the pragmas from lib/config-win32.h and adjust the sources where
the warnings occur. Hiding them with pragmas like this is not the correct
way of dealing with compiler warnings.
Daniel (13 Aug 2002)
- Ulrich Zadow made the global include files in curl/* include themselves
using "curl.h" instead of <curl/curl.h> which thus allows people to more
freely decide how to include curl and how to setup their include paths.
- Sterling Hughes added the curl_share* interface, somewhat as discussed
previously.
- Jörn Hartroth pointed out that poll() was used in the pre1 source code and
it isn't very portable, so now I check for it in the configure script and
work around it.
Daniel (12 Aug 2002)
- Applied my initial take on making the multi stuff more asynchronous. Connects
should now return back without "hanging" until it has connected for real.
This should also be the case for FTP-PASV connects.
Daniel (9 Aug 2002)
- Applied Markus F.X.J. Oberhumer's patch that introduces CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL,
which effectively prevents libcurl from doing anything that may cause
signals to get sent. This is basicly for multi-threaded applications that
now can use timeouts properly, without risking any signals to burst in and
ruin the party.

Daniel (5 Aug 2002)
- Lukasz Czekierda reported that RFC2732-style literal IPv6 addresses didn't
work. When did that code vanish? Anyway, it's back again now and seems to
work!
- Jonatan Lander found out that POSTing an empty string didn't work with the
command line tool.
Daniel (3 Aug 2002)
- Jörn Hartroth fixed the libcurl.def file to build the windows DLL with
Loading full blame...
