                                  Changelog

Daniel (13 January 2004)
- 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.

Daniel (12 January 2004)
- 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)

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.

Daniel (5 January 2004)
- 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.

Daniel (15 December)
- 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.

Daniel (10 December)
- 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.

Daniel (2 December)
- --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

Daniel (27 November)
- James Clancy made the Borland Makefiles up to date.

- Markus Moeller improved the SPNEGO detection in the configure script.

Daniel (25 November)
- 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.

Daniel (24 November)
- 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

Daniel (20 November)
- 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:
