                               History of Changes

Daniel (10 November 2000)

- I've (finally) started working on the curl test suite. It is in the new

  tests/ directory. It requires sh and perl. There's a TCP server in perl and

  most of the other stuff running a pretty simple shell script.

  I've only made four test cases so far, but it proves the system can work.

- Laurent Papier noticed that curl didn't set TYPE when doing --head checks

  for sizes on FTP servers. Some servers seem to return different sizes

  depending on whether ASCII or BINARY is used!

- Laurent Papier detected that if you appended a FTP upload and everything was

  already uploaded, curl would hang.

- Angus Mackay's getpass_r() in lib/getpass.c is now compliant with the

  getpass_r() function it seems some systems actually have.

- Venkataramana Mokkapati detected a bug in the cookie parser and corrected

  it.  If the cookie was set for the full host name (domain=full.host.com),

  the cookie was never sent back because of a faulty length comparison between

  the set domain length and the current host name.

- Added a configure check for gethostbyname in -lsocket (OS/2 seems to need

  it). Added a check for RSAglue/rsaref for the cases where libcrypto is found

  but libssl isn't. I haven't verified this fix yet though, as I have no

  system that requires those libs to build.

Version 7.4.2 pre3

Daniel (7 November 2000)

- Removed perror() outputs from getpass.c. Angus Mackay also agreed to a

  slightly modified license of the getpass.c file as the prototype was changed.

Daniel (6 November 2000)

- Added possibility to set a password callback to use instead of the built-in.

  They're controled with curl_easy_setopt() of course, the tags are
