History of Changes
Daniel (3 May 2001)
- Cris Bailiff fixed a chunked transfer encoding problem with persistent
connection that made libcurl fail if the persistent connection used mixed
chunked and non-chunked transfers.
- Cris Bailiff fixed a bad treatment of 304-replies, as they would not be
treated as content-length 0 replies but would cause a "hang" until the
server timed-out and closed the connection.
- Brad Burdick found a problem in the docs/examples/Makefile.am

Daniel (27 April 2001)
- Updated the INTERALS document again. It was lagging a bit. I think I made it
more easy to follow now as well.
- Brad Burdick found a problem with persistent connections when curl received
a "Content-Length: 0" header.
- Giuseppe D'Ambrosio was first out to report that TELNET doesn't work in curl
compiled/built on win32. It seems to work for unixes though!
- Dave Hamilton reported weird problems with CURL/PHP that I really can't
explain at the moment. I'm hoping on some help from the PHP crew.
Daniel (26 April 2001)
- I rewrote the FTP command response function. I had to do it to make ftps
work, as the OpenSSL read()-function didn't work the same way the normal
unix read() does, but it was also a huge performance boost. Previously the
function read one byte at a time, now it reads very large chunks, and it
makes a notable speed difference.
Daniel (25 April 2001)
- Connection re-use when not using a proxy didn't work properly for
non-default port numbers.
Daniel (24 April 2001)
- I've noticed that FTPS doesn't work. We attempt to use ssl even for the
data transfer, which causes the transfer to 'hang'... We need to fix this.
- Improved the test suite to use 'stunnel' to do HTTPS and FTPS testing on
the alredy written perl servers easily.
Daniel (23 April 2001)
- The OpenSSL version string recently modified didn't zero terminate one
of the generated strings properly, which could lead to a crash or simply
weird version string output!
Version 7.7.2
Daniel (22 April 2001)
- Rosimildo da Silva updated the Makefiles for Borland/Windows.
- Eric Rautman pointed out a problem with persistent connections that would
lead to broken Host: headers in the second HTTP request.
Daniel (20 April 2001)
- Added man pages for the curl_strequal() and curl_mprintf() families. Wrote
a 'libcurl overview' man page.
- Spell-fixed some documents.
- S. Moonesamy corrected mistakes in the man page.
- Cris Bailiff fixed the curl_slists options in the perl interface, present
separately in the Curl::easy 1.1.4 package.
Daniel (19 April 2001)
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing removed the decimals from the size variables in the
--write-out output. We hardly ever get fraction of bytes! :-)
Version 7.7.2-pre1
Daniel (19 April 2001)
- Albert Chin provided a configure patch for the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro.
Daniel (18 April 2001)
- Input from Michael Mealling made me add --feature to curl-config. It
displays a list of features that have been built-in in the current
libcurl. The currently available features that can be listed are: SSL, KRB4
and IPv6.
- I committed Cris and Georg's perl interface work. They've got callbacks
working and options that receives those slist pointers.
- Puneet Pawaia detected a problem with resumed downloads that use persistent
connections and I made a rather large writeup to correct this. It is
important that all session-data is stored in the connectdata struct and not
in the main struct as this previously did.
Daniel (17 April 2001)
- Frederic Lepied fixed a ftp resumed download problem and introduced a new
error code that lets applications be able to detect when a resumed download
actually didn't download anything since the whole file is already present.
Should this return OK instead?
- I added 'curl-config.in' to the root dir and configure script. Now, a
curl-config script is made when curl is built. The script can be used to
figure out compile time options used when libcurl was built, which in turn
should be options YOU should use to build applications that use libcurl.
This *-config style is not a new idea, but something that has been used
successfully in other (library based) projects.
- Phil Karn pointed out that libcurl wrongly did not always use GMT time zone
for the If-Modified-Since style headers.
- Georg Schwarz pointed out an extra needed #include file needed in src/main.c
for curl to build on Ultrix.
Daniel (11 April 2001)
- Cris Bailiff pointed out two problems that I corrected. First, libcurl's use
of the environment variable HTTP_PROXY in uppercase may become a security
hazard when people use libcurl in a server/cgi situation where the server
sets the HTTP_*-variables according to incoming headers in the HTTP
request. Thus, a "Proxy:"-header would set that environment variable!
Then, invoking curl_easy_perform() without having an URL set caused a crash.
- S. Moonesamy brought a patch that make curl use non-blocking connects on
windows when connection timeout is set, as it allows windows users to set
that timeout!
- Hirotaka Matsuyuki wrote a Ruby interface to libcurl!
- Cris Bailiff, Forrest Cahoon and Georg Horn work on the Perl interface.
- I've written a first shot at a Java interface to libcurl. Many thanks to
Daniel Marell for tirelessly answering to all my basic Java questions. It
works, but it is still very basic.
Daniel (10 April 2001)
- The progress display could get silly when doing multiple file transfers, as
it wasn't properly reset between transfers!
- Discussions with Cris Bailiff who writes a Perl interface to libcurl, made
me add CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION. It can be used to set a separate callback
function for writing headers. Previously you could only set a different FILE
* when headers are written from within libcurl.
Daniel (7 April 2001)
- Andrés García fixed a problem in curl_escape() and pointed out a flaw in
the curl_easy_setopt man page.
Daniel (6 April 2001)
- Adjusted the version code to properly display OpenSSL 0.9.6a. They sure
change their version define format often...
- curl_formfree() now accepts a NULL pointer without crashing!
Daniel (3 April 2001)
- Puneet Pawaia pointed out two serious problems. Libcurl would attempt to
read bad memory during situations when an (ftp) connection attempt failed.
Also, the lib/Makefile.vc6 was corrected.
- More investigations in the Location: following code made me realize that
it was not clean enough to work transparantly with persistent and non-
persistent connections. I think I've fixed it now.
Daniel (29 March 2001)
- Georg Horn mailed me some corrections for the Curl::easy perl interface.
- Experimental ftps:// support added. It is basically FTP over SSL for the
control connection. It still makes all data transfers going over unencrypted
connections. Rainer Weikusat's ftpd-ssl server hack supports this and I used
that to verify the functionality.
Daniel (27 March 2001)
- Guenole Bescon discovered that if you set a CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and then tried
to get a file from a site and it fails, the SIGALRM would still be sent
after the timeout-time, quite inexpectedly!
- I added an ftp transfer example to docs/examples/ and I also wrote a tiny
example makefile that can be used as a start when building one of the
examples.
- Mohamed Lrhazi reported problems with 7.6.1 and persistent HTTP/1.0
connections (when the server replied a Connection: Keep-Alive) and this
problem was not properly dealt with in 7.7 either. A patch was posted to the
curl-and-php mailing list.
Daniel (24 March 2001)
- Colin Watson reported about a problem and brought a patch that corrected it,
which was about the man page and lines starting with a single quote (') in a
way that gnroff doesn't like.
