Daniel (11 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.
Daniel (19 December)
- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE was not possible to set.
- Gisle Vanem updated the djgpp build files.
Daniel (18 December)
- John McGowan reported a redirect-problem that happened if a site used a URL
like "url.com?var=content" (without a proper slash) and from that address
redirected the user-agent to an absolute directory.
- David Byron made libcurl build fine with both the .NET and VC6 versions of
MSVC
Daniel (16 December)
- Updated test 506 since it started to fail after the cache prune change
yesterday. I also changed it slightly to feature a counter in each debug
output for easier tracing.
- Old DNS cache entries are now only pruned after curl is done with a request,
and not in the actual name resolve call.
- corrected the --enable-ares patch
- Giuseppe Attardi found and fixed a problem within libcurl that re-used
already freed memory.
- Gisle Vanem reported that the dict support was broken. I broke it during my
ftps-changes overhaul. I've now added a 'curlassert' function that can be
used to verify expressions, to prevent future errors of the same
kind. They're only present in debug-builds.
- Diego Casorran made curl and libcurl possible to build natively (no more
need for the ixemul library) on AmigaOS.
- Dominick Meglio made configure --enable-ares support a given path to the
installed ares lib, instead of always using it in the curl source tree.
This also fixed the curl-config --libs output.
- Eric S. Raymond patched a very minor man page format error in
libcurl-errors.3
Daniel (8 December)
- Fixed the flaw that made -lz appear twice on the link command line.
- After correspondance with Gisle Vanem, I changed the 'connection aborted'
error text when the FTP response reader failed to more specificly identify
what the problem is.
- Based on a patch from Dominick Meglio, curl-config --feature now outputs
'AsynchDNS' as a feature if libcurl was built with ares. The feature name
is the same that 'curl -V' outputs, for simplicity.
Daniel (3 December)
- Marty Kuhrt made the build up-to-date on VMS, and moved most of the VMS-
specific stuff in the client code to a separate header file.
- Steve Green fixed a return code bug in Curl_resolv(), that made the socks5
code fail.
- swalkaus at yahoo.com patched libcurl to ignore Content-Length: headers
when Tranfer-Encoding: chunked is used, as mandated by RFC2616.
- --ftp-pasv was added, which serves the only purpose of overriding a
previously set --ftpport option. Starting now, --ftp-port is a recognized
alias for --ftpport for consistency.
- Giuseppe Attardi pointed out that we should use MSG_NOSIGNAL when we use
send() and recv(). I added checks for the define in the configure script and
adjusted the code accordingly. If the symbol is present, we won't attempt
to ignore the SIGPIPE signal.
Daniel (1 December)
- Mathias Axelsson set up a bsdftpd-ssl server for me and I could make curl
run fine against its FTPS implementation. Now these FTPS-related things
work:
o explicit and implicit FTPS
o active (PORT) and passive (PASV)
o upload and download
o verified against bsdftpd-ssl and RaidenFTPD
- James Clancy made the Borland Makefiles up to date.
- Markus Moeller improved the SPNEGO detection in the configure script.
- Dave May filed bug report #848371, identifying that if you'd do POST over a
proxy to a https server, libcurl didn't POST at all, it just made a GET! It
turned out to be because libcurl wrongly didn't consider the authentication
"negotiation phase" to be complete yet.
I added test case 95 to verify my fix for this.

- Thanks to Mathias Axelsson, I've been able to work on FTPS for libcurl and it
seems to work somewhat fine now.
The FTPS stuff is based on RFC2228 and the murray-auth-ftp-ssl draft
(version 12). There seems to exist quite a few servers that have implemented
the server side of this.
We can now use ftps:// URLs to explicitly switch on SSL/TSL for the control
connection and the data connection (dealing with two SSL connections forced
me to change a lot of stuff in libcurl).
Alternatively, and what seems to be the recommended way, we can set the new
option CURLOPT_FTP_SSL to one of these values:
CURLFTPSSL_NOPE, - do not attempt to use SSL
CURLFTPSSL_TRY - try using SSL, proceed anyway otherwise
CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL - SSL for the control connection or fail
CURLFTPSSL_ALL - SSL for all communication or fail
Any failure to set the desired level will make libcurl fail with the error
code CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED. This new option makes a "normal" ftp:// transfer
attempt to be made securely.
I've been able to login and get files (passively) from Mathias' server using
both ftps:// and CURLOPT_FTP_SSL. (I've made 'curl' understand the --ftp-ssl
option that sets CURLFTPSSL_TRY.)
- Gaz Iqbal fixed a range string memory leak.
- Gisle Vanem fixed the Windows builds.
- Added the new FTPSSL defines in curl/curl.h
- Josh Kapell filed bug report #845247 as he found an endless loop when
getting a 407 back from a proxy when no user+password was given. Added test
case 94 to verify the fix.
Daniel (19 November)
- Kevin Roth fixed a progress-bar problem on Windows.
- While working with Nicolas Croiset's bug report #843739, I noticed two minor
problems related to ftp partial downloads: if a partial transfer is
detected, we must close the connection as we cannot know in what state it is
anymore. This looks like a ProFTPD bug:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2003-11/0079.html
- Maciej W. Rozycki made the configure script use a cache variable for the
writable argv test. This way, the default can be overridden better (for
cross-compiles etc)
Daniel (15 November)
- Mathias Axelsson found out libcurl sometimes freed the server certificate
twice, leading to crashes!
Daniel (14 November)
- Siddhartha Prakash Jain found a case with a bad resolve that we didn't
properly bail out from, when using ares.
Daniel (13 November)
- Default Content-Type for parts in multipart formposts has changed to
"application/octet-stream". This seems more appropriate, and I believe
mozilla and the likes do this. In the same area: .html files now get
text/html as Content-Type. (Pointed out in bug report #839806)
- Gisle Vanem corrected the --progress-bar output by doing a flush of the
output, which apparently makes it look better on at least windows, but
Loading full blame...
