- We are now officially using c-ares for asynch name resolves. c-ares is the
new library, based on the existing ares but with an extended and slightly
modified API.
- Dirk improved the ares timeout code, and now we also include the ares error
string when we fail to resolve a name.
- Another tweak to make test case 91 run fine. Now we have another bit on a
connection that is set true if the connection is marked for 'retry'. That
makes the connection get closed and re-opened and the HTTP-done code must
not complain on the fact that no data was received.
- Based on Dirk Manske's patch, I modified the name resolving with ares to
feature a timeout for really slow lookups. It now defaults to 300 seconds,
but is now adjusted to the CONNECTTIMEOUT/TIMOUE timeouts if one of them
is set.
- Fixed the inclusion of ca-bundle.h to really use the one in the build dir
before the one in the source dir. Domenico Andreoli found out and reported.
- Added test case 97, a simple POST with a custom Content-Type header
replacing the original application/x-www-form-urlencoded one.
- Added code that attempts to fix the test 91 failure. As has been figured out
by Patrick Smith, the error happens because we re-use a connection that the
server is just about to close and we even manage to send away the request
without seeing an error. On the first read attempt we get a ECONNRESET.
Starting now, we attempt to detect this and if so, we retry the request on a
fresh connection.
- I added test case 510 which is a custom program that does a POST using a
read callback, with chunked transfer-encoding.
- Adjusted one of the MPE/iX changes as it made test case 504 fail all over.
- Added --socks as a recognized option. It works just like --proxy but sets a
SOCKS5 proxy to use. SOCKS5 support has been available in libcurl for a
while, just not provided by the curl tool. This does not currently work for
IPv6-enabled libcurls.
- Stadler Stephan pointed out that src/hugehelp.c included config.h without
checking the define if its present...
- Ken Hirsch provided patches to make curl build fine on the MPE/iX operating
system.
- Dan Fandrich compiled curl with lots of aggressively pedantic compiler
options and thus found a few minor errors and did some general cleanups to
avoid them.
- Dirk Manske fixed a flaw in ares that prevented it to use non-blocking
sockets properly.
- Richard Bramante fixed chunked transfer-encoded "uploads" to send a final
CRLF combo properly.
- Made the response-headers during a CONNECT request to a proxy get passed on
as regular headers, so they appear with -i/-I options and similar.
- Based on a patch by Gisle Vanem, I've made the progress meter display
properly switch to a GB-display when more than 9999MB have been transfered.
- Gisle Vanem pointed out a curlrc parser problem/crash when an option with a
required didn't have one and was on the last line of a file.
- More Windows fixes for large files. We now build and link with
../lib/strtoofft.c in the app code since Curl_strtoll() is not a provided
libcurl function... Perhaps we should consider a 'common' dir or similar
where we put source code used in both the lib and the client. Or perhaps
we'll just make this function available in the library...
- Vincent Bronner found out the socks5 code crashed when no username was
set.
- Vincent Bronner spotted a problem with proxy username/password when re-using
- Fixed the progress meter display for files larger than 2^31 bytes. Gisle
Vanem reported.
- Gisle Vanem made strtoll() get used when curl is built with the mingw
compiler.
- Gisle Vanem fixed the compressed help text code to display properly.
- Removed the '#define HttpPost' from the public header file, as curl_httppost
is the proper name and it has been for quite some time now. Fixes another
name space pollution.
- Added 'curl_off_t' typedef in the public header file, to be used to provide
large file sizes to the *_LARGE options. Adjusted the code all over to use
this variable type instead of 'off_t'. This is an attempt to make the large
file support work on more platforms. The configure script now checks the
size of the curl_off_t instead of the plain off_t.

- Removed the defines in the public header file with TIMECOND_ prefixes. They
have been obsolete since April 22nd 2002, and if this causes anyone any
problems now it is very easy to just add CURL_ to the names. This corrects
this name space pollution.
Daniel (19 January 2004)
- David Byron cleaned up how --trace with no option was treated, and also
arguments in a config file without a required parameter!
Daniel (16 January 2004)
- Gisle Vanem fixed a few issues where compilers warned about variables
possibly being used unassigned.
- Minor Interix build problem fixed.
Daniel (15 January 2004)
- Peter Sylvester pointed out some necessary escaping needed in the
acinclude.m4 file when automake 1.8 or later is used.
- Vincent Bronner fixed the Curl_resolv() return code. This extends the fix
Steve Green provided on december 3...
- Luke Call made the win32 version of the password prompting function support
backspace.
- Dan Fandrich fixed the hugehelp source file to contain both a compressed and
an uncompressed version in the distribution, so that more people easier can
build curl with the compressed version.
- Diego Casorran brought another AmigaOS build patch for native Amiga builds.
- Matt Veenstra updated the Mac OS X framework files.
- Brian R Duffy brought a section to the INSTALL file on how to build a
SSL-enabled curl using the free Borland C++ compiler. He also updated the
Borland lib/Makefile.b32.
- I fixed the test case 509 which I broke yesterday. Now the libtest are
compiled with an include path that points to the library's source dir, so
that the libtests can include files from the source tree. This was made to
make it possible to use the USE_SSLEAY define in the library test files.

- Peter Sylvester brought code that now allows a callback to modified the URL
even when the multi interface is used, and then libcurl will simulate a
"follow location" to that new URL. Test 509 was added to test this feature.
- Extended the time we retry servers in the test script, and I also made it
retry the https and ftps servers before they are considered bad. I believe
the previous approach could turn problematic on really slow hosts.
Version 7.11.0-pre1 (12 January 2004)

- Dominick Meglio pointed out FTPS should use default port 990 according to
IANA.
Daniel (8 January 2004)
- Fixed the SPNEGO configure check to not use -R or other non-portable options
in the LDFLAGS. Reported by Pierre in bug report #872930.
- Dan Fandrich provided a fix on our zlib usage.
- David J Meyer's patch that introduce large file support to libcurl was
applied. New curl_easy_setopt options that accept 'off_t' arguments are:
INFILESIZE_LARGE
RESUME_FROM_LARGE
MAXFILESIZE_LARGE
Daniel (4 January 2004)
- Based on Dominick Meglio's comments, I made our private version of
gettimeofday() declared static. This would otherwise collide with the same
function in other libs (like ares for example).
- Added Dominick Meglio's description on how to build libcurl with ares
on win32.
