History of Changes
Daniel (3 October 2001)
- I accidentally ruined Georg's curl_formadd(). Uh, bad me. Corrected now.
Version 7.9.1-pre1
Daniel (3 October 2001)
- Georg Huettenegger once again made an effort beyond the call of duty and not
only improved the curl_formadd() function, but also took care of adjusting
the curl command line client to use this new function instead of the
obsoleted curl_formparse.

Daniel (2 October 2001)
- Major fix in how libcurl does TCP connects. It now does non-blocking
connects to enable good timeouts without signals, and it now tries all IP
addresses for any given host (if it resolves more than one and the first
one(s) don't connect). Added a new source file 'connect.c' to deal with all
the TCP connect stuff.
- We now support IPv4-style IP-addresses in rfc2732-format, to better support
people writing scripts without knowing what address there is.
Daniel (28 September 2001)
- Cleanups in the FTP source code. Divided the code into even more smaller
functions and generally tried to make the differences between IPv4 and IPv6
get less noticable in the sources.
- If the remote file time is not readable/accessable/understood by libcurl,
libcurl now returns -1 in the CURLINFO_FILETIME data, not 0 as it previously
did. This should make curl not touch the file data unless there was a known
remote date when -R is used.
Daniel (27 September 2001)
- Working on getting non-blocking connects working platform independent. We
will also make curl try all IPs for a given host if the first one should
fail.
Daniel (26 September 2001)
- Kevin Roth provided a cookie example that proved the cookie jar
functionality wasn't working properly. I added test case 46 and made it
work.
Daniel (25 September 2001)
- Jörn Hartroth updated the mingw32 makefiles.
Version 7.9
Daniel (23 September 2001)
- Found and removed a 'socket leak' that would occur on IPv6 enabled hosts
when FTP RETR failed.
- Made the FTP upload tests run fine on machines with IPv6 enabled.
Version 7.9-pre8
Daniel (19 September 2001)
- Vojtech Minarik set up a special-purpose test server and provided me with
test certificates in order for me to repeat the bug reports #440068 and
#440373. It turned out we didn't check all the error codes properly. We do
now, and connecting with a unacceptable certificate will make libcurl fail
to connect with an error code returned.
- Ramana Mokkapati found a case when the Location: following code did wrong.
I wrote a test case for this (45).
Version 7.9-pre7
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing fixed telnet for win32. It makes libcurl require
winsock 2.0.
Daniel (14 September 2001)
- Added another 14 ftp tests.
Daniel (13 September 2001)
- Added curl_easy_duphandle() to the easy.h header file. It has now been
tested and proved to work in a real-world tests by T Bharath. We still need
to write up some docs for this function.
- Added four more ftp tests to the test suite.
Daniel (12 September 2001)
- CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST was added, and the curl tool option is named
--ciphers. Use them to specify a list of ciphers to use in the SSL
connection.
- T. Bharath found a memory leak in libcurl's windows version. It turned out
to be the new duphandle() that didn't quite work yet.

Daniel (11 September 2001)
- Added verbose output for SSL connections that output the server
certificate's start and expire dates. As suggested by Paul Harrington.
- Heikki Korpela found problems in the perl ftp server used for the test
suite, when he runs on on OpenBSD with perl 5.6. Some changes have been
made, but nothing really certain.
- T. Bharath has experienced problems with libcurl's stack usage on windows
and works on reducing it.
Daniel (10 September 2001)
- Cris Bailiff fixed the perl interface. It stopped working since the changed
behavior with WRITEHEADER and NULL pointers.
- The "output cookies" function could dump core if no cookies were enabled.
Daniel (7 September 2001)
- SM pointed out that the SSL code didn't compile any longer if SSL was
disabled... Also, we needed to correct the #include for the utime stuff on
windows.
Daniel (6 September 2001)
- T. Bharath pointed out a flaw in the SSL session cache code that made it
sometimes read from a NULL pointer.
Version 7.9-pre3
- Added the -R/--remote-time option, that uses the remote file's datestamp to
set the local file's datestamp. Thus, when you get a remote file your local
file will get the same time and date. Note that this only works when you use
-o or -O.
- Installed libtool 1.4.1, libtoolized and everything.
Daniel (1 September 2001)
- Heikki Korpela pointed out that I did not ship the proper libtool stuff in
the pre-releases, even though that was my intention. libtoolize has now
been re-run.
- Heikki also patched away the bad use of 'make -C' in the test suite
makefile. make -C is not very portable and is now banned from here.
Version 7.9-pre2
Daniel (31 August 2001)
- I just made a huge internal struct rehaul, and all the big internally used
structs have been renamed, redesigned and stuff have been moved around a bit
to make the source easier to follow, more logically grouped and to hopefully
decrease future bugs. I also hope that this will make new functions to get
easier to add, and make it less likely that we have bugs left like the URL-
free bug from August 23.
Version 7.9-pre1
Daniel (29 August 2001)
- The new cookie code have enabled the brand new '-c/--cookie-jar' option. Use
that to specify the file name in which you want to have all cookies curl
knows of, dumped to. It'll be written using the netscape cookie format.
This is internally done with the new CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR option to libcurl,
which in turn dumps this information when curl_easy_cleanup() is invoked.
There might be reasons to re-consider my choice of putting it there. Perhaps
it is better placed to get done just before *_perform() is done. It is all
of course depending on how you guys want to use this feature...
- Added ftpupload.c in the source examples section, based on source code posted
by Erick Nuwendam.
- Now running libtool CVS branch-1-4 to generate stuff. Should fix problems
on OpenBSD and hopefully on FreeBSD as well!
- Georg Huettenegger modified the curl_formadd() functionality slightly, and
added support for error code 417 when doing form post and using the Expect:
header. Great work!
- Made some tests with cached SSL session IDs, and they seem to work. There
should be a significant speed improvement in the SSL connection phase, but
in my tiny tests it just isn't possible to notice any difference. Like other
caching in libcurl, you must reuse the same handle for the caching to take
effect. SSL session ID caching is done on a per host-name and destination
port number basis.
Set verbose, and you'll get informational tests when libcurl detects and
uses a previous SSL session ID.
- Upgraded to automake 1.5 on my development/release machine.
Daniel (27 August 2001)
- Slowly started writing SSL session ID caching code
Daniel (24 August 2001)
- T. Bharath removed compiler warnings on windows and updated the MS project
files.
Loading full blame...
