                               History of Changes

Daniel (4 April 2002)

- Jonatan Lander brought a patch that makes curl/curl.h compile nicely on

  pre-ISO compilers, like when using gcc -traditional.

Daniel (3 April 2002)

- Jacky Lam identified a glitch when getting headers-only, where libcurl would

  "hang" 1 second in vain in the select() loop before returning back.

- Tor Arntsen brought a patch for multipart formposts. It turned out that the

  "CGI_Lite Perl package" makes some bad assumptions on what letters that may

  be used in boundary strings and thus curl could confuse it by including '+'

  and '/'. While this is standards-compliant, we change the behavior to work

  smoothly with existing software based on that package.

Daniel (2 April 2002)

- Gerhard Herre filed bug report #536238 where he pointed out a crash in

  verbose FTP passive transfers for AIX.

- Clarence Gardner pointed out a minor flaw in how libcurl didn't properly

  take care of all errors that SSL_read() could return.

- Jacky Lam fixed a MALLOCDEBUG problem in lib/getinfo.c

Daniel (27 March 2002)

- T. Bharath pointed out a flaw in the connection re-use function that didn't

  check proxy connections properly for "deadness" before they were re-used.

- Pedro Neves found out that HTTP POSTing with --data-binary did not properly

  work under Windows as the file specified wasn't read fully binary!

Daniel (25 March 2002)

- Jacky Lam brought a fix that improves treatment of cookies using identical

  domains but with leading dots properly.

Daniel (22 March 2002)

- Miklos Nemeth updated the windows section of the docs/INSTALL file and the

  windows makefiles.

- Jon Dillon provided us with several good-looking curl images for

  promotion. View them here http://curl.haxx.se/icons.html

Daniel (20 March 2002)

- Peter Verhas found out that CRLF replacement in uploads was not working. I

  fixed it, and added test case 128 that verifies the functionality.

- The list formerly known as curl-main is now named curl-users and is hosted

  by sourceforge. Susbcribe to the new list, get off the old one.

Version 7.9.6-pre2

Daniel (19 March 2002)

- Made -G and -I on the same command line cause an error.

- Moved the multi.h file to the "public" include directory and made it get

  included by curl.h so that no extra include files will be necessary to use

  it.

  Added docs and man pages for the multi interface to the release archive.

  Added the three example source codes too.

  Necessary steps in my campaign to sneak in the multi interface... ;-)

- Updated the year in all copyright notices in all C and H files.

Daniel (18 March 2002)

- Tomas Szepe found out that -d and -G didn't mix as they should. I broke this

  in 7.9.5... Added test case 32 for this.

Version 7.9.6-pre1

Daniel (16 March 2002)

- Peter at verhas.com pointed out that the curl_escape and curl_unscape man

  pages contained factual errors.

- Peter Verhas pointed out that the curl_escape and curl_unscape man pages

  contained factual errors.

- Albert Choy found and corrected a problem with the verbose output when doing

  PASV ftp transfers. It could make libcurl crash.
