7.6.1-pre3

                               History of Changes

- SM found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that could make

  libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if libcurl got -1

  returned when reading the socket.

- I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the

  results from the proxy connection.

- A friendly person named "SM" (nntp at iname.com) pointed out that the VC

  makefile in src/ needed the libpath set for the debug build to work.

- Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver

  brought up yesterday.

Daniel (5 February 2001)

- Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to

  a bunch of different areas within libcurl.

- Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with

  the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a

  patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler.

  How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone?

- curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options:

  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They

  return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given

  direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length:

  size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well.

  size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This

  was done after discussions with Bob Schader.

- Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more

Daniel (31 January 2001)

- Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to

  be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was

  a possibility to weird behaviour all over.

  be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a

  possibility to weird behaviour all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me

  find this.

- Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested.

  I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple

/* Define if you want to enable IPv6 support */

#undef ENABLE_IPV6

/* Define this to 'int' if ssize_t is not an available typedefed type */

#undef ssize_t

# check for 'long long'

AC_CHECK_SIZEOF(long long, 4)

# check for ssize_t

AC_CHECK_TYPE(ssize_t, int)

dnl Get system canonical name

AC_CANONICAL_HOST

AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED(OS, "${host}")

        curl telnet://remote.server.com

  And enter the data to pass to the server on stdin. The result will be sent

  stdout or to the file you specify with -o.

  to stdout or to the file you specify with -o.

  You might want the -N/--no-buffer option to switch off the buffered output

  for slow connections or if the output from the remote site is slow and/or

  without newlines.

  for slow connections or similar.

  NOTE: the telnet protocol does not specify any way to login with a specified

  user and password and thus curl can't do that automatically. To do that, you

  need to track when the login prompt is received and send the username and

  user and password so curl can't do that automatically. To do that, you need

  to track when the login prompt is received and send the username and

  password accordingly.
