Daniel (24 July 2000)
- Added CURLOPT_PROXYPORT to the curl_easy_setopt() call to allow the proxy
port number to be set separately from the proxy host name.
- Andrew <andrew at ugh.net.au> pointed out a netrc manual bug.
- The FTP transfer code now accepts a 250-code as well as the previously
accepted 226, after a successful file transfer. Mohan <mnair at
evergreen-funds.com> pointed this out.
- The check for *both* nsl and socket was never added in the v7 configure.in
when I moved the main branch. I re-added that check to configure.in. This was
discovered by Rich Gray.
- Howard, Blaise <Blaise.Howard at factiva.com> pointed out a missing free() in
curl_disconnect() which of course meant libcurl ate memory.
- Brian E. Gallew noted that the HTTP 'Host:' header curl sent did not
properly include the port number if non-default ports were used. This should
now have been fixed.
- HTTP connect errors now return errors earlier. This was most notably causing
problems when the HTTPS certificate had problems and later caused a crash.
Many thanks to Gregory Nicholls <gnicholls at level8.com> for discovering
and suggesting a fix...
Daniel (21 June 2000)
- After a "bug report" I received where the user was using both -F and -I in a
HTTP request (it severly confused the library I should add), I added some
checks to src/main.c that prevents setting more than one HTTP request
command, no matter what the user wants! ;-)
Version 7.0.8beta
- I did a major replace in many files to use the new curl domain haxx.se
instead of the previous one.
- As Eetu Ojanen suggested, I finally took the step and now libcurl no longer
makes a POST after it has followed a location. When the initial POST has
been done, it'll turned into a GET for the further requests. This is only
interesting when using -L/--location *and* doing a POST at the same time.
While messing with this, I added another weird feature I call 'auto
referer'. If you append ';auto' to the right of a given referer string (or
only use that string as referer), libcurl will automatically set the
previoud URL as refered when it follows a Location: and gets a succeeding
document.
- My hero Rich Gray found the very obscure FTP bug that happened to him only
when passing through a particular firewall and using the PORT command. It
turned out that PORT was the only command in the lib/ftp.c source that
didn't send a proper \r\n sequence but instead used the faulty \n which as
it seemed is supported by most major ftp servers... :-O
Version 7.0.7beta
Daniel (16 June 2000)
- I had avoided this long enough now, so I moved the alternative progress bar
stuff from the lib and added it to the client code. This is now using the
recently added progress callback and it seems to work pretty much like
before. Since it is only one progress bar and you and download and upload at
the same time, this bar shows the combined progress of both directions. This
code was just ported from the old place to this, Lars is still our saviour!
;-) This also made the documentation more accurate since I never removed
this function from any docs! Although I now removed the CURLOPT_PROGRESSMODE
from the library since the lib has only one internal progress meter and it
will never get another. It is although likely that the internal one also
will be moved to the client code in the future (when I have other means of
getting the writeout data and move that too to the client).
- I took the opportunity to verify that standard progress meter works and I
found out it didn't get inited properly. Grrr. I corrected that as well.
Daniel (15 June 2000)
- I thought I'd better verify that the -F option still works in v7 and of
course it didn't... :-/ Anyway, I had the problems I could discover
corrected. About one month of beta testing and not a single person has used
this feature with v7?
- Björn correctly pointed out that the --progress-bar still doesn't work in
v7. Hm.
Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Tim Tassonis discovered that curl 7 didn't handle normal http POST as it
should. I corrected this.
Version 7.0.6beta
Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Björn Stenberg pointed out several problems (related to win32 compiling):
lib/strequal.c had a bad #ifdef for one of the string comparisons (win32)
src/main.c had several minor problems
lib/makefile.m32 had getpass.[co] twice
src/config-win32.h lacked the HAVE_FCNTL_H define
both config-win32.h files now only set the HAVE_UNISTD_H define if the
define MINGW32 is set, and I modified src/makefile.m32 and lib/makefile.m32
to set it.
Version 7.0.5beta
Daniel (14 June 2000)
- Applied Luong Dinh Dung's comments about a few win32 compile problems.
- Applied Björn Stenberg's suggested fix that turns the win32 stdout to
binary. It won't do it if the -B / --use-ascii option is used. That option
is now an extended version of the previous -B /--ftp--ascii. The flag was
already in use be the ldap as well so the new name fits pretty good. The
libcyrl CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT was also introduced as an alias to the now
obsolete CURLOPT_FTPASCII. Can't verify this fix myself as I have no win32
compiler around.
Daniel (13 June 2000)
- Luong Dinh Dung <dung at sch.bme.hu> found a problem in curl_easy_cleanup()
since it free()ed the main curl struct *twice*. This is now corrected.
Daniel (9 June 2000)
- Updated the RESOURCES file, added a README.win32 file.

Daniel (8 June 2000)
- So I finally added the progress callback to the *setopt() options and it
should work now. I don't have the energy to write any test program for it
right now.
- Made the callback function typedefs public in curl/curl.h for comfort. Just
in case anyone wanna fiddle with such pointers.
- Updated the curl_easy_setopt() man page accordingly.
Version 7.0.4beta
Daniel (2 June 2000)
- I noticed that when doing Location: following, we lost custom headers in all
but the first request.
- Removed the 'HttpPost' struct and moved the header stuff to the more generic
curl_slist.
- Added some better slist-cleanups in src/main.c
Version 7.0.3beta
Daniel (31 May 2000)
- So I discovered that I released the 7.0.2beta without it being able to
compile under Linux. gethostbyname_r() and gethostbyaddr_r() turned out to
feature a different amount of arguments on different systems so I had to add
a configure check for this and adjust the code slightly.
Version 7.0.2beta
Daniel (29 May 2000)
- Corrected the bits.* assignments when using CURLOPT options that only
toggles one of those bits.
- Applied the huge patches from David LeBlanc <dleblanc at qnx.com> that add
usage of the gethostbyname_r() and similar functions in case they're around,
since that make libcurl much better threadsafe in many systems (such as
solaris). I added the checks for these functions to the configure script.
I can't explain why, but the inet_ntoa_r() function did not appear in my
Solaris include files, I had to add my own include file for this for now.
- Jörn Hartroth brought me fixes to make the win32 version compile properly as
well as a rename of the 'interface' field in the urldata struct, as it seems
to be reserved in some gcc versions!
- Rich Gray struck back with yet some portability reports. Data General DG/UX
needed a little fix in lib/ldap.c since it doesn't have RTLD_GLOBAL defined.
More fixes are expected as a result of Richies very helpful work.
Daniel (21 May 2000)
- Updated lots of #defines, enums and variable type names in the library. No
more weird URG or URLTAG prefixes. All types and names should be curl-
prefixed to avoid name space clashes. The FLAGS-parameter to the former
curl_urlget() has been converted into a bunch of flags to use in separate
setopt calls. I'm still focusing on the easy-interface, as the curl tool is
now using that.
- Bjorn Reese has provided me with an asynchronous name resolver that I plan
to use in upcoming versions of curl to be able to gracefully timeout name
lookups.
Daniel (18 May 2000)
- Introduced LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM to the curl.h include file to better allow
source codes to be dependent on the lib version. This define is now set to
a dexadecimal number, with 8 bits each for major number, minor number and
patch number. In other words, version 1.2.3 would make it 0x010203. It also
makes a larger number a newer version.
Daniel (17 May 2000)
- Martin Kammerhofer correctly pointed out several flaws in the FTP range
