7.9.8-pre3 commit

                               History of Changes

Version 7.9.8-pre3

Daniel (11 Jun 2002)

- James Cone brought the idea of using sigsetjmp() in the signal handler to

  make the time-out of name lookups to work, even when the underlying name

  resolver library traps EINTR. The use of sigsetjmp() and siglongjmp() for

  this may be a bit drastic, and also not likely to exist on all platforms.  I

  added careful checking for this in the configure script, even checks for it

  being a macro (which seems to be the case in for example Linux).

  sigsetjmp() seems to be mentioned in the Single Unix specification.

- Miklos Nemeth brought a patch that allows libcurl to get built with specific

  protocols disabled. This is done by running ./configure

  --disable-[protocol].

- FTP range downloads could make CURLE_FTP_WRITE_ERROR get returned. We now

  make precautions to not return this for range downloads.

  Added test case 135 that makes an ftp range download. Had to tweak the

  runtests.pl script a bit too.

- Bug report #566835 identified a strlen() on a NULL pointer. Added additional

  check to prevent this.

- Found and corrected a connect failure problem that didn't create a human

  error text.

- Added code to compile with OpenSSL 0.9.7. Based on patch from Jacob Meuser

  and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell.

- Gautam Mani found a socket descriptor leak that happened when FTP transfers

  failed and you reinvoked curl_easy_perform().

Daniel (5 Jun 2002)

- Gustaf Hui corrected curl_multi_remove_handle() so that it won't crash no

  matter when you decide to remove the CURL handle.

- HAVE_RAND_STATUS was added to lib/config-win32.h by Andreas Olsson, as it

  makes windows builds stop complaining about "weak seeding" when it in fact

  isn't.

- Another 64bit architecture crash that was introduced in 7.9.7 was now

  removed, as bug report #564585 clarified. This happened due to our attempts

  to only allocate only as much memory as is actually needed for name

  resolving (using realloc) which called for a function that could 'move' a

  hostent struct in memory.

Version 7.9.8-pre2

Daniel (3 Jun 2002)

- T. Bharath fixed the CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME to return a correct time and

  made the CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE return the correct total request size. He

void curl_global_cleanup(void);
