                                  Changelog

Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009)
- Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This
  issue was noticed by Chris Deidun.

Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009)
- Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported
  by Daniel Johnson.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
  whenever you attempt to open a new connection.

  1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
     returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
     rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
  2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
     all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
     preferences as our current new connection.

Version 7.19.4 (3 March 2009)

Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
  (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
  which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
  arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
  together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
  new behavior:

  o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
  follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
  excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
  them in your app if you really want that behavior.

  o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
  using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
  other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
  protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

Daniel Stenberg (27 Feb 2009)
- Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and
  CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and
  Markus Koetter provided the fix!

Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009)
- As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the
  curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
  thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
  just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
  but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
  elsewhere.
  
Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009)
- Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work.
  It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the
  time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong.

Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() for
  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return
  -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible
  to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.

Yang Tse (23 Feb 2009)
- Daniel Johnson provided a shell script that will perform all the steps needed
  to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework

Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
- I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib'
  to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.

Yang Tse (20 Feb 2009)
- Do not halt compilation when using VS2008 to build a Windows 2000 target.

Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2009)
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
  FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
  write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
  re-used properly.

  This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
  now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
  necessary to get read in ftp_done().

Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009)
- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out 
  libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!

  We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
  when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
  "TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
  libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
  data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
  data!

Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009)
- FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error
  CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE.

Daniel Stenberg (17 Feb 2009)
- Kamil Dudka made NSS-powered builds compile and run again!

- A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory
  leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to
  cleanup properly before returning error.

- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
  plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
  CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
  connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
  as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
  connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
  (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
  CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.

  Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
  files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
  using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.

Daniel Stenberg (14 Feb 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a memory leak in the content encoding
  code, which could happen on libz errors.

Daniel Fandrich (12 Feb 2009)
- Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS.

Daniel Stenberg (11 Feb 2009)
- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if
  the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
  condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
  reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128) filed by Jocelyn Jaubert.

Daniel Fandrich (4 Feb 2009)
- Don't add the standard /usr/lib or /usr/include paths to LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
  (respectively) when --with-ssl=/usr is used (patch based on FreeBSD).

- Added an explicit buffer limit check in msdosify() (patch based on FreeBSD).
  This couldn't ever overflow in curl, but might if the code were used
  elsewhere or under different conditions.

Daniel Stenberg (3 Feb 2009)
- Hidemoto Nakada provided a small fix that makes it possible to get the
  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD size from file:// "transfers" with
  CURLOPT_NOBODY set true.

Daniel Stenberg (2 Feb 2009)
- Patrick Scott found a rather large memory leak when using the multi
  interface and setting CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS to something less than the number
  of handles you add to the multi handle. All the connections that didn't fit
  in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!

- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
  version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
  proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
  switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
  option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.

  I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
  --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.

Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
- When building with c-ares 1.6.1 (not yet released) or later and IPv6 support
  enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
  ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me with
  this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
  /etc/hosts file!

Daniel Stenberg (30 Jan 2009)
- Scott Cantor filed bug report #2550061
  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2550061) mentioning that I failed to
  properly make sure that the VC9 makefiles got included in the latest
  release. I've now fixed the release script and verified it so next release
  will hopefully include them properly!

Daniel Fandrich (30 Jan 2009)
- Fixed --disable-proxy for FTP and SOCKS. Thanks to Daniel Egger for
  reporting.

Yang Tse (29 Jan 2009)
- Introduced curl_sspi.c and curl_sspi.h for the implementation of functions
  Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
  named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
  Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
  SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.

Daniel Stenberg (28 Jan 2009)
- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:
  CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
  to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
  options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
