7.9.4-pre2

                               History of Changes

Daniel (3 February 2002)

- Eric Melville provided a few spelling corrections in the curl man page.

Daniel (1 February 2002)

- Andreas Damm corrected the unconditional use of gmtime() in getdate, it now

  uses gmtime_r() on all hosts that have it.

Daniel (31 January 2002)

- An anonymous bug report identified a problem in the DNS caching which made it

  sometimes allocate one byte too little to store the cache entry in. This

  happened when the port number started with 1!

- Albert Chin provided a patch that improves the gethostbyname_r() configure

  check on HP-UX 11.00.

Version 7.9.4-pre1

Daniel (30 January 2002)

- Georg Horn found another way the SSL reading failed due to the non-blocking

  state of the sockets! I fixed.

Daniel (29 January 2002)

- Multipart formposts now send the full request properly, including the CRLF.

  They were previously treated as part of the post data.

- The upload byte counter bugged.

- T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time-

  consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched

  libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded

  status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time.

  If the random_file or egdsocket is set, the seed will be re-made though.

- Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets

  curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request.
