                                  Changelog
Daniel Stenberg (18 May 2010)
- Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the libcurl TFTP
  code was not sending the timeout option properly to the server, and
  suggested a fix.

  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3003005)

Kamil Dudka (16 May 2010)
- Pavel Raiskup introduced a new option CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA in order to pass
  a custom data pointer to the callback specified by CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION.

- John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with an
  associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine when the multi
  interface is used:

  Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using select or
  epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears that the cause is the
  fix for bug #2958179, which makes ossl_connect_common unconditionally return
  from the step 2 loop when fetching from a multi handle.

  When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates connssl->connecting_state
  to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common will then return to the caller, as a
  multi handle is in use. Eventually, the client code will call
  curl_multi_fdset to obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
  requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
  https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the connecting_state is
  ssl_connect_2_reading or ssl_connect_2_writing.  Therefore, the client will
  never obtain a valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting
  in a hang.

- Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with redirect
  following. It showed that when curl followed redirects it didn't properly
  ignore the response body of the 30X response if that response was using
  compressed Content-Encoding!

Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2010)
- Howard Chu brought support for RTMP. This is powered by the underlying
  librtmp library. It supports a range of variations and "sub-protocols"
  within the RTMP family.

- Pavel Raiskup brought support for FTP directory wildcard matching to allow
  selective downloading. To provide that, a set of new options were added:

   CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH
   CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION
   CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION
   CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA
   CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION

  There were also a set of new tests added (574 - 577) to verify this.

Kamil Dudka (11 May 2010)
- CRL support in libcurl-NSS has been completely broken. Now it works. Original
  bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/581926

Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2010)
- Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi interface,
  there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store connect time correctly as
  it used to (and is documented to) do.

  Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up test case
  573 using that code. The problem does not easily show itself using the local
  test suite though.

  The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as it adds yet
  another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the TIMER_CONNECT time.
  That situation is subject for some closer inspection in the future.

- Howard Chu split the I/O handling functions into private handlers.
    
  Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly moves out the
  sending and recving of data to the parts of the code that are properly
  responsible for the various ways of doing so.
  
  Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some minor
  flaws in the original patch.
  
  Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less with the
  "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more consistently.

- Hoi-Ho Chan introduced support for using the PolarSSL library. You control
  this with the new configure option --with-polarssl.

Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2010)
- Ben Greear made telnet a lot better/easier to use by an application:

  The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods, when they are
  specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.  All calls to fflush(stdout) in
  telnet.c were removed, which makes using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful
  since prompts and other data are not always returned to the user promptly.
  Use 'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead.  In general, the user
  should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush for interactive use.

  Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
  Old code could crash in that case.

  Call progress functions in telnet main loop.

Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2010)
- Make use of the libssh2_init/exit functions that libssh2 added in version
  1.2.5. Using them will improve how libcurl works in threaded situations when
  SCP and SFTP are transfered.

Daniel Stenberg (25 Apr 2010)
- Based on work by Kamil Dudka, I've introduced the new configure option
  --enable-threaded-resolver. When used, the configure script will check for
  pthreads and if around, it will build libcurl to use pthreads to do name
  resolving in a threaded manner. Note that this is just a fix to offer an
  option that can enable the code that already included. The threader resolver
  code was mostly added on Jan 26 2010.

Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2010)
- Alex Bligh introduced the --proto and -proto-redir options that limit what
  protocols curl accepts for the requests and when following redirects.

Kamil Dudka (24 Apr 2010)
- Fixed test536 in order to not fail with threaded DNS resolver and tweaked
  comments in certain examples using curl_multi_fdset().

- Fixed SSL handshake timeout underflow in libcurl-NSS, which caused test405
  to hang on a slow machine.

Daniel Stenberg (21 Apr 2010)
- The -O option caused curl to crash on windows and DOS due to the tool
  writing out of boundary memory.

Yang Tse (20 Apr 2010)
- Ruslan Gazizov detected that MSVC makefiles were using wsock32.lib instead
  of ws2_32.lib, this generated linking issues on MSVC IPv6 enabled builds
  that were done using those makefiles.

Daniel Stenberg (19 Apr 2010)
- -J/--remote-header-name didn't strip trailing carriage returns or linefeeds
  properly, so they could be used in the file name.

- Jerome Vouillon made the GnuTLS SSL handshake phase non-blocking.

- The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made the GnuTLS specific code
  treat a zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this caused
  our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer code to detect if
  an EOF is a problem or not.

- I reverted the resolver fix from yesterday and instead removed all uses of
  AI_CANONNAME all over libcurl and made the only user of that info (krb5.c)
  use the host name from the URL instead. No reverse resolving is a good
  thing.

- Paul Howarth made configure properly detect GSS "on ancient Linux distros"
  by editing in which order we use headers to detect GSS.

Daniel Stenberg (15 Apr 2010)
- Rainer Canavan filed bug report #2987196 that identified libcurl doing
  unnecesary reverse name lookups in many cases when built to use IPv4 and
  getaddrinfo(). The logic for ipv6 is now used for ipv4 too.

Version 7.20.1 (14 April 2010)

Daniel Stenberg (9 Apr 2010)
- Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only worked for the
  postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case 227 has been extended to
  verify.

Kamil Dudka (4 Apr 2010)
- Eliminated a race condition in Curl_resolv_timeout().

- Refactorized interface of Curl_ssl_recv()/Curl_ssl_send().

- libcurl-NSS now provides more accurate messages and error codes in case of
  client certificate problem.  Either during connection, or transfer phase.

- Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the code
  treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as EAGAIN while in
  reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in SFTP transfers from a
  MessageWay server.

Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2010)
- Ben Greear: If you pass a URL to pop3 that does not contain a message ID as
  part of the URL, it would previously ask for 'INBOX' which just causes the
  pop3 server to return an error.
    
  Now libcurl treats en empty message ID as a request for LIST (list of pop3
  message IDs).  User's code could then parse this and download individual
