9Version 7.21.0 (16 June 2010)
10
11Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
12- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a case of spurious SSL connection aborts using
13  libcurl and OpenSSL. "I tracked it down to uncleared error state on the
14  OpenSSL error stack - patch attached deals with that."
15
16Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
17- Frank Meier added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP and
18  CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT to curl_easy_getinfo().
19
20Yang Tse (4 June 2010)
21- Enabled OpenLDAP support for cygwin builds. This support was disabled back
22  in 2008 due to incompatibilities between OpenSSL and OpenLDAP headers.
23  cygwin's OpenSSL 0.9.8l and OpenLDAP 2.3.43 versions on cygwin 1.5.25
24  allow building an OpenLDAP enabled libcurl supporting back to Windows 95.
25
26  Removed the non-functional CURL_LDAP_HYBRID code and references.
27
28Daniel Stenberg (2 June 2010)
29- Jason McDonald posted bug report #3006786 when he found that the SFTP code
30  didn't timeout properly in several places in the code even if a timeout was
31  set properly.
32
33  Based on his suggested patch, I wrote a different implementation that I
34  think addressed the issue better and also uses the connect timeout for the
35  initial part of the SSH/SFTP done during the "protocol connect" phase.
36
37  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3006786)
38
39Yang Tse (2 June 2010)
40- Added missing new libcurl files to non-configure targets. Adjusted
41  libcurl standard internal header inclusions in new files. Fixed an
42  SPNEGO related memory leak. Fixed several LDAP related compilation
43  issues, and fixed some compiler warnings.
44
45Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2010)
46- Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and using
47  timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with libcurl's use of
48  GetTickCount() interally to figure out the current time, while Igor's own
49  application code used another function call.
50
51  It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit _before_ libcurl
52  would consider the timeout to trigger, and that could easily lead to
53  timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems GetTickCount() in general often has
54  no better resolution than 16ms and switching to the alternative function
55  QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:
56      http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106
57
58  We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers that already
59  has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for treatment. I'm confident
60  that there are other implementations and operating systems with similarly in
61  accurate timer functions so it makes sense to have applied generically and I
62  don't believe we sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these
63  timeouts.
64
65Kamil Dudka (27 May 2010)
66- added a new test for CRL support (test313)
67
68- Tor Arntsen changed the alternative definition of bool to use enum instead
69  of unsigned char.
70
71Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2010)
72- Julien Chaffraix fixed the warning seen when compiling lib/rtmp.c: one
73  unused variables, several unused arguments and some missing #include.
74
75- Julien Chaffraix fixed 2 OOM errors: a missing NULL-check in
76  lib/http_negociate.c and a potential NULL dereferencing in lib/splay.c
77
78- Howard Chu brought a patch that makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and
79  in general being a better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version
80  is detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used instead of the
81  old cruft.
82
83Daniel Stenberg (21 May 2010)
84- Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the correct timeout
85  option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th 2010) it became obvious that
86  libcurl used invalid timeout values (300 by default while the RFC allows
87  nothing above 255). While of course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked
88  thus far without being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
89  wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep it (but
90  fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier (future) customization
91  of the timeout.
92
93  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3003705)
94
95- Douglas Kilpatrick filed bug report #3004787 and pointed out that the TFTP
96  code didn't handle block id wraps correctly. His suggested fix inspired the
97  fix I committed.
98
99  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3004787)
100
101Daniel Stenberg (20 May 2010)
102- Tanguy Fautre brought a fix to allow curl to build with Microsoft VC10.
103
104Daniel Stenberg (18 May 2010)
105- Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the libcurl TFTP
106  code was not sending the timeout option properly to the server, and
107  suggested a fix.
108
109  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3003005)
110
111Kamil Dudka (16 May 2010)
112- Pavel Raiskup introduced a new option CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA in order to pass
113  a custom data pointer to the callback specified by CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION.
114
115Daniel Stenberg (14 May 2010)
116- John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with an
117  associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine when the multi
118  interface is used:
119
120  Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using select or
121  epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears that the cause is the
122  fix for bug #2958179, which makes ossl_connect_common unconditionally return
123  from the step 2 loop when fetching from a multi handle.
124
125  When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates connssl->connecting_state
126  to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common will then return to the caller, as a
127  multi handle is in use. Eventually, the client code will call
128  curl_multi_fdset to obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
129  requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
130  https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the connecting_state is
131  ssl_connect_2_reading or ssl_connect_2_writing.  Therefore, the client will
132  never obtain a valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting
133  in a hang.
134
135  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3000052)
136
137- Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with redirect
138  following. It showed that when curl followed redirects it didn't properly
139  ignore the response body of the 30X response if that response was using
140  compressed Content-Encoding!
141
142  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3000056)
143
144Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2010)
145- Howard Chu brought support for RTMP. This is powered by the underlying
146  librtmp library. It supports a range of variations and "sub-protocols"
147  within the RTMP family.
148
149- Pavel Raiskup brought support for FTP directory wildcard matching to allow
150  selective downloading. To provide that, a set of new options were added:
151
152   CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH
153   CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION
154   CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION
155   CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA
156   CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION
157
158  There were also a set of new tests added (574 - 577) to verify this.
159
160Kamil Dudka (11 May 2010)
161- CRL support in libcurl-NSS has been completely broken. Now it works. Original
162  bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/581926
163
164Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2010)
165- Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi interface,
166  there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store connect time correctly as
167  it used to (and is documented to) do.
168
169  Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up test case
170  573 using that code. The problem does not easily show itself using the local
171  test suite though.
172
173  The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as it adds yet
174  another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the TIMER_CONNECT time.
175  That situation is subject for some closer inspection in the future.
176
177- Howard Chu split the I/O handling functions into private handlers.
178
179  Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly moves out the
180  sending and recving of data to the parts of the code that are properly
181  responsible for the various ways of doing so.
182
183  Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some minor
184  flaws in the original patch.
185
186  Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less with the
187  "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more consistently.
188
189Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2010)
190- Hoi-Ho Chan introduced support for using the PolarSSL library. You control
191  this with the new configure option --with-polarssl.
192
193Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2010)
194- Ben Greear made telnet a lot better/easier to use by an application:
195
196  The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods, when they are
197  specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.  All calls to fflush(stdout) in
198  telnet.c were removed, which makes using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful
199  since prompts and other data are not always returned to the user promptly.
200  Use 'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead.  In general, the user
201  should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush for interactive use.
202
203  Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
204  Old code could crash in that case.
205
206  Call progress functions in telnet main loop.
207
208Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2010)
209- Make use of the libssh2_init/exit functions that libssh2 added in version
210  1.2.5. Using them will improve how libcurl works in threaded situations when
211  SCP and SFTP are transfered.
212
213Daniel Stenberg (25 Apr 2010)
214- Based on work by Kamil Dudka, I've introduced the new configure option
215  --enable-threaded-resolver. When used, the configure script will check for
216  pthreads and if around, it will build libcurl to use pthreads to do name
217  resolving in a threaded manner. Note that this is just a fix to offer an
218  option that can enable the code that already included. The threader resolver
219  code was mostly added on Jan 26 2010.
220
221Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2010)
222- Alex Bligh introduced the --proto and -proto-redir options that limit what
223  protocols curl accepts for the requests and when following redirects.
224
225Kamil Dudka (24 Apr 2010)
226- Fixed test536 in order to not fail with threaded DNS resolver and tweaked
227  comments in certain examples using curl_multi_fdset().
228
229- Fixed SSL handshake timeout underflow in libcurl-NSS, which caused test405
230  to hang on a slow machine.
231
232Daniel Stenberg (21 Apr 2010)
233- The -O option caused curl to crash on windows and DOS due to the tool
234  writing out of boundary memory.
235
236Yang Tse (20 Apr 2010)
237- Ruslan Gazizov detected that MSVC makefiles were using wsock32.lib instead
238  of ws2_32.lib, this generated linking issues on MSVC IPv6 enabled builds
239  that were done using those makefiles.
240
241Daniel Stenberg (19 Apr 2010)
242- -J/--remote-header-name didn't strip trailing carriage returns or linefeeds
243  properly, so they could be used in the file name.
244
245Daniel Stenberg (16 Apr 2010)
246- Jerome Vouillon made the GnuTLS SSL handshake phase non-blocking.
247
248- The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made the GnuTLS specific code
249  treat a zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this caused
250  our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer code to detect if
251  an EOF is a problem or not.
252
253- I reverted the resolver fix from yesterday and instead removed all uses of
254  AI_CANONNAME all over libcurl and made the only user of that info (krb5.c)
255  use the host name from the URL instead. No reverse resolving is a good
256  thing.
257
258- Paul Howarth made configure properly detect GSS "on ancient Linux distros"
259  by editing in which order we use headers to detect GSS.
260
261Daniel Stenberg (15 Apr 2010)
262- Rainer Canavan filed bug report #2987196 that identified libcurl doing
263  unnecesary reverse name lookups in many cases when built to use IPv4 and
264  getaddrinfo(). The logic for ipv6 is now used for ipv4 too.
265
266  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
267
268Version 7.20.1 (14 April 2010)
269
270Daniel Stenberg (9 Apr 2010)
271- Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only worked for the
272  postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case 227 has been extended to
273  verify.
274
275Kamil Dudka (4 Apr 2010)
276- Eliminated a race condition in Curl_resolv_timeout().
277
278- Refactorized interface of Curl_ssl_recv()/Curl_ssl_send().
279
280- libcurl-NSS now provides more accurate messages and error codes in case of
281  client certificate problem.  Either during connection, or transfer phase.
282
283Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2010)
284- Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the code
285  treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as EAGAIN while in
286  reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in SFTP transfers from a
287  MessageWay server.
288
289Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2010)
290- Ben Greear: If you pass a URL to pop3 that does not contain a message ID as
291  part of the URL, it would previously ask for 'INBOX' which just causes the
292  pop3 server to return an error.
293
294  Now libcurl treats en empty message ID as a request for LIST (list of pop3
295  message IDs).  User's code could then parse this and download individual
296  messages as desired.
297
298Daniel Stenberg (27 Mar 2010)
299- Ben Greear brought a patch that from now on allows all protocols to specify
300  name and user within the URL, in the same manner HTTP and FTP have been
301  allowed to in the past - although far from all of the libcurl supported
302  protocls actually have that feature in their URL definition spec.
303
304Daniel Stenberg (26 Mar 2010)
305- Ben Greear brought code that makes the rate limiting code for the easy
306  interface a bit smoother as it introduces sub-second sleeps during it and it
307  also takes the buffer sizes into account.
308
309Daniel Stenberg (24 Mar 2010)
310- Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will read new HTTP
311  response data from a socket, then check if it's a timeout if one is set. If
312  the last packet received constitutes the end of the response body, libcurl
313  still treats it as a timeout condition and reports a message like:
314
315  "Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876 bytes
316  received"
317
318  It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T receive the end
319  of the response body yet.
320
321- Christopher Conroy fixed a problem with RTSP and GET_PARAMETER reported
322  to us by Massimo Callegari. There's a new test case 572 that verifies this
323  now.
324
325- The 'ares' subtree has been removed from the source repository. It was
326  always a separate project that sort of piggybacked on the curl project since
327  the dawn of times and now the time has come for it to go stand on its own
328  legs and continue living its own life. All details on c-ares and its new
329  source code repository is found at http://c-ares.haxx.se/
330
331Daniel Stenberg (23 Mar 2010)
332- Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a problem he
333  experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over a proxy using
334  PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect fine but bits.tcpconnect
335  was not set correct so libcurl didn't work properly.
336
337  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
338
339- Akos Pasztory filed debian bug report #572276
340  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572276 mentioning a problem
341  with a resource that returns chunked-encoded _and_ with a Content-Length
342  and libcurl failed to properly ignore the latter information.
343
344- Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi interface crash.
345  His example simply used the multi interface and did first one FTP transfer
346  and after completion it used a second easy handle and did another FTP
347  transfer on the same FTP server.
348
349  This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system that curl
350  uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep an easy handle
351  around internally - only for the purpose of having an easy handle when it
352  later disconnects it. The code assumed that when the easy handle was removed
353  and an internal reference was made, that version could be killed later on
354  when a new easy handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as
355  Hauke's example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real until
356  later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.
357
358Daniel Stenberg (22 Mar 2010)
359- Thomas Lopatic fixed the alarm()-based DNS timeout:
360
361  Looking at the code of Curl_resolv_timeout() in hostip.c, I think that in
362  case of a timeout, the signal handler for SIGALRM never gets removed. I
363  think that in my case it gets executed at some point later on when execution
364  has long left Curl_resolv_timeout() or even the cURL library.
365
366  The code that is jumped to with siglongjmp() simply sets the error message
367  to "name lookup timed out" and then returns with CURLRESOLV_ERROR. I guess
368  that instead of simply returning without cleaning up, the code should have a
369  goto that jumps to the spot right after the call to Curl_resolv().
370
371Kamil Dudka (22 Mar 2010)
372- Douglas Steinwand contributed a patch fixing insufficient initialization in
373  Curl_clone_ssl_config()
374
375Daniel Stenberg (21 Mar 2010)
376- Ben Greear improved TFTP: the error code returning and the treatment
377  of TSIZE == 0 when uploading.
378
379- We've switched from CVS to git. See http://curl.haxx.se/source.html
380
381Kamil Dudka (19 Mar 2010)
382- Improved Curl_read() to not ignore the error returned from Curl_ssl_recv().
383
384Daniel Stenberg (15 Mar 2010)
385- Constantine Sapuntzakis brought a patch:
386
387  The problem mentioned on Dec 10 2009
388  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220) was only partially fixed.
389  Partially because an easy handle can be associated with many connections in
390  the cache (e.g. if there is a redirect during the lifetime of the easy
391  handle).  The previous patch only cleaned up the first one. The new fix now
392  removes the easy handle from all connections, not just the first one.
393
394Daniel Stenberg (6 Mar 2010)
395- Ben Greear brought a patch that fixed the rate limiting logic for TFTP when
396  the easy interface was used.
397
398Daniel Stenberg (5 Mar 2010)
399- Daniel Johnson provided fixes for building curl with the clang compiler.
400
401Yang Tse (5 Mar 2010)
402- Constantine Sapuntzakis detected and fixed a double free in builds done
403  with threaded resolver enabled (Windows default configuration) that would
404  get triggered when a curl handle is closed while doing DNS resolution.
405
406Daniel Stenberg (2 Mar 2010)
407- [Daniel Johnson] I've been trying to build libcurl with clang on Darwin and
408  ran into some issues with the GSSAPI tests in configure.ac. The tests first
409  try to determine the include dirs and libs and set CPPFLAGS and LIBS
410  accordingly. It then checks for the headers and finally sets LIBS a second
411  time, causing the libs to be included twice. The first setting of LIBS seems
412  redundant and should be left out, since the first part is otherwise just
413  about finding headers.
414
415  My second issue is that 'krb5-config --libs gssapi' on Darwin is less than
416  useless and returns junk that, while it happens to work with gcc, causes
417  clang to choke. For example, --libs returns $CFLAGS along with the libs,
418  which is really retarded. Simply setting 'LIBS="$LIBS -lgssapi_krb5
419  -lresolv"' on Darwin is sufficient.
420
421- Based on patch provided by Jacob Moshenko, the transfer logic now properly
422  makes sure that when using sub-second timeouts, there's no final bad 1000ms
423  wait. Previously, a sub-second timeout would often make the elapsed time end
424  up the time rounded up to the nearest second (e.g. 1s for 200ms timeout)
425
426- Andrei Benea filed bug report #2956698 and pointed out that the
427  CURLOPT_CERTINFO feature leaked memory due to a missing OpenSSL function
428  call. He provided the patch to fix it too.
429
430  http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956698
431
432- Markus Duft pointed out in bug #2961796 that even though Interix has a
433  poll() function it doesn't quite work the way we want it so we must disable
434  it, and he also provided a patch for it.
435
436  http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2961796
437
438- Made the pingpong timeout code properly deal with the response timeout AND
439  the global timeout if set. Also, as was reported in the bug report #2956437
440  by Ryan Chan, the time stamp to use as basis for the per command timeout was
441  not set properly in the DONE phase for FTP (and not for SMTP) so I fixed
442  that just now. This was a regression compared to 7.19.7 due to the
443  conversion of FTP code over to the generic pingpong concepts.
444
445  http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956437
446
447Daniel Stenberg (1 Mar 2010)
448- Ben Greear provided an update for TFTP that fixes upload.
449
450- Wesley Miaw reported bug #2958179 which identified a case of looping during
451  OpenSSL based SSL handshaking even though the multi interface was used and
452  there was no good reason for it.

456Daniel Stenberg (26 Feb 2010)
457- Pat Ray in bug #2958474 pointed out an off-by-one case when receiving a
458  chunked-encoding trailer.

462Daniel Fandrich (25 Feb 2010)
463- Fixed a couple of out of memory leaks and a segfault in the SMTP & IMAP code.
464
465Yang Tse (25 Feb 2010)
466- I fixed bug report #2958074 indicating
467  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958074) that curl on Windows with
468  option --trace-time did not use local time when timestamping trace lines.
469  This could also happen on other systems depending on time souurce.
470
471Patrick Monnerat (22 Feb 2010)
472- Proper handling of STARTTLS on SMTP, taking CURLUSESSL_TRY into account.
473- SMTP falls back to RFC821 HELO when EHLO fails (and SSL is not required).
474- Use of true local host name (i.e.: via gethostname()) when available, as
475  default argument to SMTP HELO/EHLO.
476- Test case 804 for HELO fallback.
477
478Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2010)
479- Fixed the SMTP compliance by making sure RCPT TO addresses are specified
480  properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now
481  get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient
482  starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that
483  properly on its own.
484
485- I made the SMTP code expect a 250 response back from the server after the
486  full DATA has been sent, and I modified the test SMTP server to also send
487  that response. As usual, the DONE operation that is made after a completed
488  transfer is still not doable in a non-blocking way so this waiting for 250
489  is unfortunately made blockingly.
490
491Yang Tse (14 Feb 2010)
492- Overhauled test suite getpart() function. Fixing potential out of bounds
493  stack and memory overwrites triggered with huge test case definitions.
494
495Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2010)
496- Martin Hager reported and fixed a problem with a missing quote in libcurl.m4
497
498  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951319)
499
500- Tom Donovan fixed the CURL_FORMAT_* defines when building with cmake.
501
502  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951269)
503
504Daniel Stenberg (12 Feb 2010)
505- Jack Zhang reported a problem with SMTP: we wrongly used multiple addresses
506  in the same RCPT TO line, when they should be sent in separate single
507  commands. I updated test case 802 to verify this.
508
509- I also fixed a bad use of my_setopt_str() of CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT in the curl
510  tool which made it try to output it as string for the --libcurl feature
511  which could lead to crashes.
512
513Yang Tse (11 Feb 2010)
514- Steven M. Schweda fixed VMS builder bad behavior when used in a batch job,
515  removed obsolete batch_compile.com and defines.com and updated VMS readme.
516
517Version 7.20.0 (9 February 2010)
518
519Daniel Stenberg (9 Feb 2010)
520- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app asked libcurl to
521  automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could
522  wrongly provide the callback with more data than the maximum documented
523  amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum
524  limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented).
525
526  This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory
527  20100209 at
528
529    http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
530
531Daniel Fandrich (3 Feb 2010)
532- Changed the Watcom makefiles to make them easier to keep in sync with
533  Makefile.inc since that can't be included directly.
534
535Yang Tse (2 Feb 2010)
536- Symbol CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T now obsoleted, will be removed in a future release,
537  symbol will not be available when building with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined. Use
538  of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T is preferred since 7.19.0
539
540Daniel Stenberg (1 Feb 2010)
541- Using the multi_socket API, it turns out at times it seemed to "forget"
542  connections (which caused a hang). It turned out to be an existing (7.19.7)
543  bug in libcurl (that's been around for a long time) and it happened like
544  this:
545
546  The app calls curl_multi_add_handle() to add a new easy handle, libcurl will
547  then set it to timeout in 1 millisecond so libcurl will tell the app about
548  it.
549
550  The app's timeout fires off that there's a timeout, the app calls libcurl as
551  we so often document it:
552
553  do {
554   res = curl_multi_socket_action(... TIMEOUT ...);
555  } while(CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM == res);
556
557  And this is the problem number one:
558
559  When curl_multi_socket_action() is called with no specific handle, but only
560  a timeout-action, it will *only* perform actions within libcurl that are
561  marked to run at this time. In this case, the request would go from INIT to
562  CONNECT and return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM. When the app then calls libcurl
563  again, there's no timer set for this handle so it remains in the CONNECT
564  state. The CONNECT state is a transitional state in libcurl so it reports no
565  sockets there, and thus libcurl never tells the app anything more about that
566  easy handle/connection.
567
568  libcurl _does_ set a 1ms timeout for the handle at the end of
569  multi_runsingle() if it returns CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM, but since the loop
570  is instant the new job is not ready to run at that point (and there's no
571  code that makes libcurl call the app to update the timout for this new
572  timeout). It will simply rely on that some other timeout will trigger later
573  on or that something else will update the timeout callback. This makes the
574  bug fairly hard to repeat.
575
576  The fix made to adress this issue:
577
578  We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() and
579  simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
580  benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
581  CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
582
583  The downside of this fix, is that the counter we return in 'running_handles'
584  in several of our public functions then gets a slightly new and possibly
585  confusing behavior during times:
586
587  If an app adds a handle that fails to connect (very quickly) it may just
588  as well never appear as a 'running_handle' with this fix. Previously it
589  would first bump the counter only to get it decreased again at next call.
590  Even I have used that change in handle counter to signal "end of a
591  transfer". The only *good* way to find the end of a individual transfer
592  is calling curl_multi_info_read() to see if it returns one.
593
594  Of course, if the app previously did the looping before it checked the
595  counter, it really shouldn't be any new effect.
596
597Yang Tse (26 Jan 2010)
598- Constantine Sapuntzakis' and Joshua Kwan's work done in the last four months
599  relative to the asynchronous DNS lookups, along with with some integration
600  adjustments I have done are finally committed to CVS.
601
602  Currently these enhancements will benefit builds done using c-ares on any
603  platform as well as Windows builds using the default threaded resolver.
604
605  This release does not make generally available POSIX threaded DNS lookups
606  yet. There is no configure option to enable this feature yet. It is possible
607  to experimantally try this feature running configure with compiler flags that
608  make simultaneous definition of preprocessor symbols USE_THREADS_POSIX and
609  HAVE_PTHREAD_H, as well as whatever reentrancy compiler flags and linker ones
610  are required to link and properly use pthread_* functions on each platform.
611
612Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2010)
613- Mike Crowe made libcurl return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY when it is the
614  proxy that cannot be resolved when using c-ares. This matches the behaviour
615  when not using c-ares.
616
617Bj�rn Stenberg (23 Jan 2010)
618- Added a new flag: -J/--remote-header-name. This option tells the
619  -O/--remote-name option to use the server-specified Content-Disposition
620  filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
621
622Daniel Stenberg (21 Jan 2010)
623- Chris Conroy brought support for RTSP transfers, and with it comes 8(!) new
624  libcurl options for controlling what to get and how to receive posssibly
625  interleaved RTP data.
626
627Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2010)
628- As was pointed out on the http-state mailing list, the order of cookies in a
629  HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases
630  where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using
631  (overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be
632  sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care
633  of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort
634  all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do
635  this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area.
636
637  Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it
638  accordingly.
639
640Daniel Stenberg (19 Jan 2010)
641- David McCreedy brought a fix and a new test case (129) to make libcurl work
642  again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the
643  final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server
644  reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline
645  conversions into account.
646
647Kamil Dudka (14 Jan 2010)
648- Suppressed side effect of OpenSSL configure checks, which prevented NSS from
649  being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
650  strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
651  distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
652
653Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2010)
654- Gil Weber reported a peculiar flaw with the multi interface when doing SFTP
655  transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file
656  descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out
657  to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me
658  nail this.
659
660Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2010)
661- Made sure that the progress callback is repeatedly called at a regular
662  interval even during very slow connects.
663
664- The tests/runtests.pl script now checks to see if the test case that runs is
665  present in the tests/data/Makefile.am and outputs a notice message on the
666  screen if not. Each test file has to be included in that Makefile.am to get
667  included in release archives and forgetting to add files there is a common
668  mistake. This is an attempt to make it harder to forget.
669
670Daniel Stenberg (9 Jan 2010)
671- Johan van Selst found and fixed a OpenSSL session ref count leak:
672
673  ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on
674  each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be
675  incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by
676  Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed
677  if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the
678  reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling
679  SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid
680  introducing a memory leak.
681
682  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2926284)
683
684Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2010)
685- Make sure the progress callback is called repeatedly even during very slow
686  name resolves when c-ares is used for resolving.
687
688Claes Jakobsson (6 Jan 2010)
689- Julien Chaffraix fixed so that the fragment part in an URL is not sent
690  to the server anymore.
691
692Kamil Dudka (3 Jan 2010)
693- Julien Chaffraix eliminated a duplicated initialization in singlesocket().
694
695Daniel Stenberg (2 Jan 2010)
696- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specific
697  versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
698  control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
699  option names are still working but the new ones are the ones listed and
700  documented.
701
702Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2010)
703- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. This
704  command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
705  a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
706  seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
707  it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
708  usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
709  that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
710
711  I added test cases 1107 and 1108 to verify the functionality.
712
713  The PRET command is documented at
714  http://www.drftpd.org/index.php/Distributed_PASV
715
716Yang Tse (30 Dec 2009)
717- Steven M. Schweda improved VMS build system, and Craig A. Berry helped
718  with the patch and testing.
719
720Daniel Stenberg (26 Dec 2009)
721- Renato Botelho and Peter Pentchev brought a patch that makes the libcurl
722  headers work correctly even on FreeBSD systems before v8.
723
724  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2916915)
725
726Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2009)
727- David Byron fixed Curl_ossl_cleanup to actually call ENGINE_cleanup when
728  available.
729
730- Follow-up fix for the proxy fix I did for Jon Nelson's bug. It turned out I
731  was a bit too quick and broke test case 1101 with that change. The order of
732  some of the setups is sensitive. I now changed it slightly again to make
733  sure we do them in this order:
734
735  1 - parse URL and figure out what protocol is used in the URL
736  2 - prepend protocol:// to URL if missing
737  3 - parse name+password off URL, which needs to know what protocol is used
738      (since only some allows for name+password in the URL)
739  4 - figure out if a proxy should be used set by an option
740  5 - if no proxy option, check proxy environment variables
741  6 - run the protocol-specific setup function, which needs to have the proxy
742      already set
743
744Daniel Stenberg (15 Dec 2009)
745- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurl
746  detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy
747  was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
748  mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up
749  from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added
750  test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.
751
752  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2913886)
753
754Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2009)
755- IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support and their TLS versions (including IMAPS, POP3S
756  and SMTPS) are now supported. The current state may not yet be solid, but
757  the foundation is in place and the test suite has some initial support for
758  these protocols. Work will now persue to make them nice libcurl citizens
759  until release.
760
761  The work with supporting these new protocols was sponsored by
762  networking4all.com - thanks!
763
764Daniel Stenberg (10 Dec 2009)
765- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retry
766  on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
767  4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
768  Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
769  4xx response.
770
771  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
772
773- Constantine Sapuntzakis figured out a case which would lead to libcurl
774  accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with
775  OpenSSL), multi interface and the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and a certain order
776  of cleaning things up. I fixed it.
777
778  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220)
779
780Daniel Stenberg (7 Dec 2009)
781- Martin Storsjo made libcurl use the Expect: 100-continue header for posts
782  with unknown size. Previously it was only used for posts with a known size
783  larger than 1024 bytes.
784
785Daniel Stenberg (1 Dec 2009)
786- If the Expect: 100-continue header has been set by the application through
787  curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set
788  data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at
789  least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
790
791Yang Tse (28 Nov 2009)
792- Added Diffie-Hellman parameters to several test harness certificate files in
793  PEM format. Required by several stunnel versions used by our test harness.
794
795Daniel Stenberg (28 Nov 2009)
796- Markus Koetter provided a polished and updated version of Chad Monroe's TFTP
797  rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can
798  be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works.
799
800  The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from
801  the command line.
802
803Daniel Stenberg (26 Nov 2009)
804- Extended and fixed the change I did on Dec 11 for the the progress
805  meter/callback during FTP command/response sequences. It turned out it was
806  really lame before and now the progress meter SHOULD get called at least
807  once per second.
808
809Daniel Stenberg (23 Nov 2009)
810- Bjorn Augustsson reported a bug which made curl not report any problems even
811  though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single
812  fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but
813  there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked
814  curl to believe things were fine.
815
816Yang Tse (23 Nov 2009)
817- David Byron modified Makefile.dist vc8 and vc9 targets in order to allow
818  finer granularity control when generating src and lib makefiles.
819
820Yang Tse (22 Nov 2009)
821- I modified configure to force removal of the curlbuild.h file included in
822  distribution tarballs for use by non-configure systems. As intended, this
823  would get overwriten when doing in-tree builds. But VPATH builds would end
824  having two curlbuild.h files, one in the source tree and another in the
825  build tree. With the modification I introduced 5 Nov 2009 this could become
826  an issue when running libcurl's test suite.
827
828Daniel Stenberg (20 Nov 2009)
829- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets were
830  closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its
831  socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
832
833- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection had
834  CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the
835  same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that
836  previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
837
838Yang Tse (18 Nov 2009)
839- I modified the memory tracking system to make it intolerant with zero sized
840  malloc(), calloc() and realloc() function calls.
841
842Daniel Stenberg (17 Nov 2009)
843- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that could
844  end up with entries that wouldn't time-out:
845
846  1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port
847     that's down
848  2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi
849
850  After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging
851  around with in_use != 0.
852
853  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
854
855- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure into
856  its pkg-config file.  So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really
857  bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in
858  PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
859
860Kamil Dudka (15 Nov 2009)
861- David Byron improved the configure script to use pkg-config to find OpenSSL
862  (and in particular the list of required libraries) even if a path is given
863  as argument to --with-ssl
864
865Yang Tse (15 Nov 2009)
866- I removed enable-thread / disable-thread configure option. These were only
867  placebo options. The library is always built as thread safe as possible on
868  every system.
869
870Claes Jakobsson (14 Nov 2009)
871- curl-config now accepts '--configure' to see what arguments was
872  passed to the configure script when building curl.
873
874Daniel Stenberg (14 Nov 2009)
875- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS when
876  --with-nss is set but not "yes".
877
878  I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc,
879  but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
880
881- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for
882  the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines
883  can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key
884  and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
885
886Yang Tse (14 Nov 2009)
887- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connection
888  won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
889
890  I refactored how preprocessor symbol _THREAD_SAFE definition is done.
891
892Kamil Dudka (12 Nov 2009)
893- Kevin Baughman provided a fix preventing libcurl-NSS from crash on doubly
894  closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times
895  before and always closed unresolved. More info at the RH bug:
896  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/534176
897
898- libcurl-NSS now tries to reconnect with TLS disabled in case it detects
899  a broken TLS server. However it does not happen if SSL version is selected
900  manually. The approach was originally taken from PSM. Kaspar Brand helped me
901  to complete the patch. Original bug reports:
902  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/525496
903  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/527771
904
905Yang Tse (12 Nov 2009)
906- I modified configure script to make the getaddrinfo function check also
907  verify if the function is thread safe.
908
909Yang Tse (11 Nov 2009)
910- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapi
911  and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in
912  the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
913
914Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2009)
915- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595
916  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry
917  in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in
918  use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of
919  still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
920
921- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properly
922  used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while
923  it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so
924  that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
925
926Kamil Dudka (5 Nov 2009)
927- Dropped misleading timeouts in libcurl-NSS and made sure the SSL socket works
928  in non-blocking mode.
929
930Yang Tse (5 Nov 2009)
931- I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in
932  curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to
933  OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
934
935Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2009)
936- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the
937  wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could
938  easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any
939  percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring
940  less than 100 bytes.
941
942Version 7.19.7 (4 November 2009)
943
944Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2009)
945- As reported independent by both Stan van de Burgt and Didier Brisebourg,
946  CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD (the -w variable size_download) didn't work when
947  getting data from ldap!
948
949Daniel Stenberg (31 Oct 2009)
950- Gabriel Kuri reported a problem with CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD if the
951  download was 0 bytes, as libcurl would then return the size as unknown (-1)
952  and not 0. I wrote a fix and test case 566 to verify it.
953
954Daniel Stenberg (30 Oct 2009)
955- Liza Alenchery mentioned a problem with re-used SCP connection when a bad
956  auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still
957  made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP
958  session to get closed and not be re-used.
959
960- "Tom" posted a bug report that mentioned how libcurl did wrong when doing a
961  POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and
962  "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced.  I would then cause the first request
963  to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the
964  connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.
965
966Daniel Stenberg (25 Oct 2009)
967- Dima Barsky made the curl cookie parser accept cookies even with blank or
968  unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously
969  libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research
970  shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I
971  modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.
972
973Daniel Stenberg (21 Oct 2009)
974- Attempt to use pkg-config for finding out libssh2 installation details
975  during configure.
976
977- A patch in bug report #2883177 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2883177)
978  by Johan van Selst introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl
979  tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to
980  read.
981
982Daniel Stenberg (18 Oct 2009)
983- Ray Dassen provided a patch in Debian's bug tracker (bug number #551461)
984  that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that
985  use the "single letter military timezones".
986  http://www.rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/822/chapter5.html has the details.
987
988- Fixed memory leak in the SCP/SFTP code as it never freed the knownhosts
989  data!
990
991- John Dennis filed bug report #2873666
992  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2873666) which identified a problem
993  which made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when
994  using HTTP GSS negotiate authentication. He also provided a small and simple
995  patch for it.
996
997- Kevin Baughman found a double close() problem with libcurl-NSS, as when
998  libcurl called NSS to close the SSL "session" it also closed the actual
999  socket.
1000
1001Yang Tse (17 Oct 2009)
1002- Bug report #2866724 indicated
1003  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2866724) that curl on Windows failed
1004  when writing files whose file names originally contained characters which
1005  are not valid for file names on Windows. Dan Fandrich provided an initial
1006  patch and another revised one to fix this issue.
1007
1008Daniel Stenberg (1 Oct 2009)
1009- Tom Mueller correctly reported in bug report #2870221
1010  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
1011  incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
1012  him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
1013  strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
1014  exactly why.
1015
1016- Constantine Sapuntzakis: The current implementation will always set
1017  SO_SNDBUF to CURL_WRITE_SIZE even if the SO_SNDBUF starts out larger.  The
1018  patch doesn't do a setsockopt if SO_SNDBUF is already greater than
1019  CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with
1020  large send buffers.
1021
1022Daniel Stenberg (27 Sep 2009)
1023- I introduced a maximum limit for received HTTP headers. It is controlled by
1024  the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header
1025  file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified
1026  limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a
1027  buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the
1028  header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into
1029  trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or
1030  less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.
1031
1032Daniel Stenberg (26 Sep 2009)
1033- John P. McCaskey posted a bug report that showed how libcurl did wrong when
1034  saving received cookies with no given path, if the path in the request had a
1035  query part. That is means a question mark (?) and characters on the right
1036  side of that. I wrote test case 1105 and fixed this problem.
1037
1038Kamil Dudka (26 Sep 2009)
1039- Implemented a protocol independent way to specify blocking direction, used by
1040  transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols.
1041  This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload,
1042  reported by Vourhey.
1043
1044Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2009)
1045- Chris Mumford filed bug report #2861587
1046  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used
1047  the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would
1048  load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
1049
1050Daniel Stenberg (16 Sep 2009)
1051- Sven Anders reported that we introduced a cert verfication flaw for OpenSSL-
1052  powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name
1053  field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP
1054  entry was present it caused the verification to fail.
1055
1056Daniel Fandrich (15 Sep 2009)
1057- Moved the libssh2 checks after the SSL library checks. This helps when
1058  statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be
1059  set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary if
1060  the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the
1061  --static flag would add the dependencies automatically.
1062
1063Yang Tse (14 Sep 2009)
1064- Revert Joshua Kwan's patch committed 11 Sep 2009.
1065
1066  Some systems poll function sets POLLHUP in revents without setting
1067  POLLIN, and sets POLLERR without setting POLLIN and POLLOUT. In some
1068  libcurl code execution paths this could trigger busy wait loops with
1069  high CPU usage until a timeout condition aborted the loop.
1070
1071  The reverted patch addressed the above issue for a very specific case,
1072  when awaiting c-ares to resolve. A libcurl-wide fix for Curl_poll now
1073  superceeds this one.
1074
1075Guenter Knauf (11 Sep 2009)
1076- Joshua Kwan provided a patch to pass POLLERR / POLLHUP back to c-ares.
1077  This fixes a loop problem with high CPU usage.
1078
1079Daniel Stenberg (10 Sep 2009)
1080- Claes Jakobsson fixed a problem with cookie expiry dates at exctly the epoch
1081  start second "Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 1970" as the date parser then returns 0
1082  which internally then is treated as a session cookie. That particular date
1083  is now made to get the value of 1.
1084
1085Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2009)
1086- Daniel Johnson found a flaw in the code converting sftp-errors to libcurl
1087  errors.
1088
1089Daniel Stenberg (1 Sep 2009)
1090- Peter Sylvester made a debug feature for Curl_resolv() that now will force
1091  libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
1092  the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
1093  write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.
1094
1095- configure now tries to use pkg-config for a number of sub-dependencies even
1096  when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
1097  PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
1098
1099  I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
1100  present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
1101  setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
1102  add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
1103
1104Daniel Stenberg (31 Aug 2009)
1105- When using the multi interface with FTP and you asked for NOBODY, you did no
1106  QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
1107  already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
1108  the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
1109  hang.
1110
1111Kamil Dudka (28 Aug 2009)
1112- Improved error message for not matching certificate subject name in
1113  libcurl-NSS. Originally reported at:
1114  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516056#c9
1115
1116Patrick Monnerat (24 Aug 2009)
1117- Introduced a SYST-based test to properly set-up name format when dealing
1118  with the OS/400 FTP server.
1119
1120- Fixed an ftp_readresp() bug preventing detection of failing control socket
1121  and causing FTP client to loop forever.
1122
1123Daniel Stenberg (24 Aug 2009)
1124- Marc de Bruin pointed out that configure --with-gnutls=PATH didn't work
1125  properly and provided a fix. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2843008
1126
1127- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curl
1128  read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
1129  the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
1130  times.
1131
1132Michal Marek (21 Aug 2009)
1133- With CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, avoid sending invalid URLs like
1134  ftp://example.com;type=i if the user specified ftp://example.com without the
1135  slash.
1136
1137Daniel Stenberg (21 Aug 2009)
1138- Andre Guibert de Bruet pointed out a missing return code check for a
1139  strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his
1140  suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code
1141  and better check that.
1142
1143- Lots of good work by Krister Johansen, mostly related to pipelining:
1144
1145  Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks
1146  Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers
1147  Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL
1148
1149Kamil Dudka (13 Aug 2009)
1150- Changed NSS code to not ignore the value of ssl.verifyhost and produce more
1151  verbose error messages. Originally reported at:
1152  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516056
1153
1154Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2009)
1155- Karl Moerder fixed the Makefile.vc* makefiles to include the new file
1156  nonblock.c so that they work fine again
1157
1158- I expanded test 517 with a bunch of more dates that originate from the
1159  Chrome browser test suite. It turns out most of them get parsed the same
1160  way.
1161
1162Version 7.19.6 (12 August 2009)
1163
1164Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2009)
1165- Carsten Lange reported a bug and provided a patch for TFTP upload and the
1166  sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before
1167  a release, but since it was broken and the patch fixes this for him I decided
1168  to get it in anyway.
1169
1170Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2009)
1171- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates for
1172  each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
1173  verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
1174  specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
1175  subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
1176  in test 311.
1177
1178- Benbuck Nason posted the bug report #2835196
1179  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler
1180  warnings when mixing ints and bools.
1181
1182Daniel Fandrich (10 Aug 2009)
1183- Fixed a memory leak in the FTP code and an off-by-one heap buffer overflow.
1184
1185Daniel Fandrich (9 Aug 2009)
1186- Fixed some memory leaks in the command-line tool that caused most of the
1187  torture tests to fail.
1188
1189Daniel Stenberg (2 Aug 2009)
1190- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. We
1191  should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
1192  now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
1193  shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
1194  Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
1195  option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
1196
1197Daniel Stenberg (1 Aug 2009)
1198- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955
1199  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
1200  verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
1201  he did at Black Hat is available here:
1202  https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike
1203
1204  Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
1205  zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
1206  were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
1207  if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
1208  happily verify that cert for example.com.
1209
1210  libcurl now better uses the length of the extracted name, not using the zero
1211  termination for getting the string length.
1212
1213  This fixing only made and needed in OpenSSL interfacing code.
1214
1215- Tanguy Fautre pointed out that OpenSSL's function RAND_screen() (present
1216  only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we
1217  agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal
1218  with this situation.
1219
1220- Alexander Beedie provided the patch for a noproxy problem: If I have set
1221  CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
1222  could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.
1223
1224Daniel Stenberg (27 Jul 2009)
1225- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and
1226  CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
1227  send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
1228  from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
1229  response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
1230  chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.
1231
1232Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2009)
1233- Johan van Selst posted bug report #2825989
1234  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2825989) pointing out that
1235  OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm, and
1236  provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() in addition
1237  to the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in
1238  OpenSSL 0.9.5
1239
1240Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2009)
1241- Added CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA.
1242  They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for
1243  details. Note that this feature depends on a new enough libssh2 version, to
1244  be supported in libssh2 1.2 and later (or current git repo at this time).
1245
1246Michal Marek (22 Jul 2009)
1247- David Binderman found a memory and fd leak in lib/gtls.c:load_file()
1248  (https://bugzilla.novell.com/523919). When looking at the code, I found that
1249  also the ptr pointer can leak.
1250
1251Kamil Dudka (20 Jul 2009)
1252- Claes Jakobsson improved the support for client certificates handling in
1253  NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected
1254  automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11
1255  slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens.
1256
1257- Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader
1258  module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the
1259  unload fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.
1260
1261Daniel Fandrich (15 Jul 2009)
1262- Added nonblock.c to the non-automake makefiles (note that the dependencies
1263  in the Watcom makefiles aren't quite correct).
1264
1265Michal Marek (15 Jul 2009)
1266- Changed the description of CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to make it clear that the
1267  errno is not reset on success.
1268
1269Guenter Knauf (14 Jul 2009)
1270- renamed generated config.h to curl_config.h to avoid any future clashes
1271  with config.h from other projects.
1272
1273Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2009)
1274- Eric Wong introduced curlx_nonblock() that the curl tool now (re-)uses for
1275  setting a file descriptor non-blocking. Used by the functionality Eric
1276  himself brough on June 15th.
1277
1278Daniel Stenberg (8 Jul 2009)
1279- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug report #2813123
1280  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2813123) and an a patch that fixes the
1281  problem:
1282
1283  Url A is accessed using auth. Url A redirects to Url B (on a different
1284  server0. Url B reuses a persistent connection. Url B has auth, even though
1285  it's on a different server.
1286
1287  Note: if Url B does not reuse a persistent connection, auth is not sent.
1288
1289  reason:
1290
1291  data->state.first_host is not initialized becuase Curl_http_connect is not
1292  called when a connection is reused.
1293
1294  Solution:
1295
1296  move initialization of data->state.first_host to Curl_http. No code before
1297  Curl_http uses data->state.first_host anyway.
1298
1299Guenter Knauf (4 Jul 2009)
1300- Markus Koetter provided a patch to avoid getnameinfo() usage which broke a
1301  couple of both IPv4 and IPv6 autobuilds.
1302
1303Daniel Stenberg (29 Jun 2009)
1304- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a port
1305  range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like
1306  "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
1307
1308- Modified the separators used for CURLOPT_CERTINFO in multi-part outputs. I
1309  don't know how they got wrong in the first place, but using this output
1310  format makes it possible to quite easily separate the string into an array
1311  of multiple items.
1312
1313Daniel Fandrich (16 June 2009)
1314- Added a few more compiler warning options for gcc.
1315
1316Daniel Stenberg (16 Jun 2009)
1317- Reuven Wachtfogel made curl -o - properly produce a binary output on windows
1318  (no newline translations). Use -B/--use-ascii if you rather get the ascii
1319  approach.
1320
1321Michal Marek (16 Jun 2009)
1322- When doing non-anonymous ftp via http proxies and the password is not
1323  provided in the url, add it there (squid needs this).
1324
1325Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009)
1326- Eric Wong's patch:
1327
1328  This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
1329  protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
1330  HTTP response.  This requires server support for sending a response while a
1331  request is still being read, of course.
1332
1333  If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
1334  This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
1335  (and thus sending) is paused.
1336
1337  This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
1338  HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).
1339
1340Patrick Monnerat (15 Jun 2009)
1341- Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random
1342  number generator.
1343
1344Yang Tse (11 Jun 2009)
1345- I adapted testcurl script to allow building test harness programs when
1346  cross-compiling for a *-*-mingw* host.
1347
1348Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2009)
1349- Fabian Keil ran clang on the (lib)curl code, found a bunch of warnings and
1350  contributed a range of patches to fix them.
1351
1352Yang Tse (10 Jun 2009)
1353- I introduced configure script option --enable-curldebug which now allows
1354  the decoupled enabling or disabling of the curl debug memory tracking
1355  feature from the --enable-debug option which no longer controls this.
1356
1357  curl --version will list 'Debug' feature for debug enabled builds, and
1358  will list 'TrackMemory' feature for curl debug memory tracking capable
1359  builds. These features are independent and can be controlled when running
1360  the configure script. When --enable-debug is given both features will be
1361  enabled, unless some restriction prevents memory tracking from being used.
1362
1363  Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code
1364  which is only compiled for debug enabled builds. And symbol CURLDEBUG is
1365  used to differentiate code which is _only_ used for memory tracking.
1366
1367Yang Tse (9 Jun 2009)
1368- Daniel Steinberg pointed out that Curl_FormInit() in formdata.c was not
1369  initializing the fread callback pointer and this triggered a compiler
1370  warning, also provided a friendly suggestion on how to fix it.
1371
1372Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
1373- Claes Jakobsson provided a patch for libcurl-NSS that fixed a bad refcount
1374  issue with client certs that caused issues like segfaults.
1375  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0316.html
1376
1377- Triggered by bug report #2798852 and the patch in there, I fixed configure
1378  to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config
1379  anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path
1380  is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that
1381  lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.
1382
1383Yang Tse (8 Jun 2009)
1384- Igor Novoseltsev adjusted Makefile.vxworks to get sources and headers
1385  included from Makefile.inc, and provided docs\INSTALL VxWorks section.
1386
1387- I removed buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives. This
1388  file is only for CVS tree checkout builds.
1389
1390Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
1391- Eric Wong fixed --no-buffer to actually switch off output buffering. Been
1392  broken since 7.19.0
1393
1394Bill Hoffman (6 Jun 2009)
1395- Added some cmake docs and fixed socklen_t in the build.
1396
1397Yang Tse (5 Jun 2009)
1398- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
1399  in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
1400  DCL compatible exit code.  This fix required the enhancement described next.
1401  This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
1402  Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
1403  and messages." And another patch for docs/examples.
1404
1405  I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
1406  and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
1407  as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
1408  existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.
1409
1410Daniel Stenberg (4 June 2009)
1411- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
1412  is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
1413  this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
1414  libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
1415  knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
1416  Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
1417  wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
1418  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
1419
1420Yang Tse (4 Jun 2009)
1421- Igor Novoseltsev provided patches and information, that after some
1422  adjustments to better fit curl's way of doing things, have resulted
1423  in the posibility of building libcurl for VxWorks.
1424
1425Daniel Fandrich (2 June 2009)
1426- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
1427  create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
1428  which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
1429  static config-android.h may need to be created and checked in to the
1430  libcurl source tree.
1431
1432Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2009)
1433- Claes Jakobsson fixed the configure script to better find and use NSS
1434  without pkg-config.
1435
1436Yang Tse (1 Jun 2009)
1437- John E. Malmberg provided a VMS specific clean-up for curl.h, and pointed
1438  out that the configure script was failing to detect the timeval struct on
1439  VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due to definition
1440  taking place in socket.h instead of time.h.  I have adjusted configure
1441  script to also include this header when checking struct timeval.
1442
1443Daniel Stenberg (27 May 2009)
1444- Frank McGeough provided a small OpenSSL #include fix to make libcurl compile
1445  fine with Nokia 5th edition 1.0 SDK for Symbian.
1446
1447- Andre Guibert de Bruet found a call to a OpenSSL function that didn't check
1448  for a failure properly.
1449
1450- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
1451  the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
1452  to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.
1453
1454- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
1455  PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.
1456
1457Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2009)
1458- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
1459  out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
1460  received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
1461  such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
1462  leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
1463
1464Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2009)
1465- Removed some obsolete digest code that caused a valgrind error in test 551.
1466
1467Daniel Fandrich (20 May 2009)
1468- Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip those
1469  tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as
1470  those configured to use OpenDNS).
1471
1472Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2009)
1473- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entry
1474  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing
1475  a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection.  Caolan
1476  McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
1477
1478Version 7.19.5 (18 May 2009)
1479
1480Daniel Stenberg (17 May 2009)
1481- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem with
1482  no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a
1483  user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
1484
1485Daniel Stenberg (11 May 2009)
1486- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompression
1487  of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
1488  a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.
1489  http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
1490
1491- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael Cronenworth
1492  at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12
1493
1494  If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
1495  up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
1496
1497- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,
1498  as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
1499  curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
1500  but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
1501
1502Daniel Stenberg (10 May 2009)
1503- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wasted
1504  byte in the digest code.
1505
1506Yang Tse (9 May 2009)
1507- Removed DOS and TPF package's subdirectory Makefile.am, it was only used
1508  to include some files in the distribution tarball serving no other purpose.
1509  Files from the DOS and TPF subdirectories are now included in the EXTRA_DIST
1510  of the Makefile in the parent subdirectory.
1511
1512Yang Tse (8 May 2009)
1513- Changed host name literal in several tests to one under the haxx.se domain.
1514
1515- Renamed vc6 workspace and project files to avoid filename clash when used
1516  for conversion to later VS versions.
1517
1518Daniel Stenberg (8 May 2009)
1519- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055
1520  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
1521  connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
1522  almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
1523  be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
1524
1525  There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
1526
1527Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
1528- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads as
1529  well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
1530
1531Yang Tse (7 May 2009)
1532- Fixed an issue affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c
1533  patch committed May 4.
1534
1535Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
1536- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. Problems
1537  reported in the Debian package.
1538
1539- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236
1540  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with
1541  libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.
1542
1543Yang Tse (5 May 2009)
1544- Fixed the --ftp-port address of test #251 to the CLIENTIP address, and
1545  reverted the change affecting test suite harness committed 4 May.
1546
1547Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2009)
1548- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did the
1549  corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id
1550  in case the previous re-used one is rejected.
1551
1552Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2009)
1553- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255
1554  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
1555  libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
1556  re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
1557  the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
1558  code needs similar fixes.
1559
1560Yang Tse (4 May 2009)
1561- Applied David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and
1562  non-ASCII platform HTTP requests" patch addressing two HTTP PUT problems:
1563  1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are
1564  being translated to ASCII.  2) On all platforms the line endings of part of
1565  the protocol portions are mangled from CRLF to CRCRLF if data->set.crlf or
1566  data->set.prefer_ascii are set (depending on CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV).
1567
1568- Applied David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP
1569  server and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when
1570  running the FTP test server.
1571
1572Daniel Fandrich (3 May 2009)
1573- Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59.  The bug
1574  report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
1575
1576Yang Tse (2 May 2009)
1577- Use a build-time configured curl_socklen_t data type instead of socklen_t.
1578
1579Yang Tse (1 May 2009)
1580- Applied David McCreedy's patches "TPF-platform specific changes to various
1581  files" and "http.c fix to Curl_proxyCONNECT for non-ASCII platforms", the
1582  former with minor edits.
1583
1584Daniel Stenberg (30 Apr 2009)
1585- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
1586
1587  If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
1588  "ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
1589
1590  I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
1591  this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
1592
1593Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2009)
1594- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
1595  I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
1596  TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
1597  with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
1598  re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
1599  that this change fixes the reported problem.
1600
1601Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2009)
1602- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090
1603  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
1604  we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
1605  speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
1606  confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
1607
1608- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim
1609  Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
1610  pipe.
1611
1612  This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
1613  CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
1614  that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
1615  libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
1616  of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
1617  from a stream!
1618
1619Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2009)
1620- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven
1621  Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
1622  interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
1623
1624Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2009)
1625- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
1626
1627- Bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by Rainer
1628  Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
1629  environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
1630  lower case takes precedence,
1631
1632Daniel Fandrich (21 Apr 2009)
1633- Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.
1634
1635Yang Tse (21 Apr 2009)
1636- Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files to
1637  setup_once.h.  Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of
1638  NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
1639
1640  Renamed libcurl's memory.h to curl_memory.h
1641
1642Daniel Stenberg (20 Apr 2009)
1643- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and
1644  how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The
1645  conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
1646  the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
1647  then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that
1648  works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
1649
1650- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for
1651  OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str -
1652  within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this
1653  mistake happening.
1654
1655Daniel Stenberg (17 Apr 2009)
1656- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP
1657  proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each
1658  request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
1659  for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
1660
1661  I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
1662  properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
1663  think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
1664  stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
1665
1666Daniel Stenberg (13 Apr 2009)
1667- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin
1668  Storsj� pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
1669  confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
1670  looked like:
1671
1672   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
1673   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
1674
1675  The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
1676  CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
1677  0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
1678  set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
1679  not hit any existing users badly.
1680
1681- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turned
1682  out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue
1683  is found in Redhat's bug tracker:
1684  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612
1685
1686  There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
1687
1688Daniel Fandrich (11 Apr 2009)
1689- Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.
1690- Improved Symbian support for SSL.
1691
1692Yang Tse (10 Apr 2009)
1693- Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all
1694  the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64
1695  libcurl.framework.  Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
1696
1697Yang Tse (8 Apr 2009)
1698- Removed Sun compilers preprocessor block from curlbuild.h.dist, this also
1699  removes it from the curlbuild.h file originally distributed by the cURL
1700  project as this file is intended for systems not capable of running the
1701  configure script.  For those who have been building curl out of the source
1702  code curl distribution tarball provided by curl.haxx.se the change implies
1703  nothing.  Previous change in this area committed 2 Apr becomes irrelevant.
1704
1705Daniel Stenberg (6 Apr 2009)
1706- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on success
1707  and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal
1708  errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done
1709  elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes
1710  whenever we can think of them...
1711
1712Yang Tse (2 Apr 2009)
1713- Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and a
1714  non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated
1715  to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This
1716  configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t
1717  data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for
1718  libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without
1719  having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than
1720  64 and using the ILP32 data model.
1721
1722Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2009)
1723- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if a
1724  strdup() call failed.
1725
1726Daniel Fandrich (31 Mar 2009)
1727- Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).
1728
1729Daniel Stenberg (18 Mar 2009)
1730- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when
1731  NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled
1732  explicitly.
1733
1734Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2009)
1735- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2
1736  library is found to support it.
1737
1738Yang Tse (12 Mar 2009)
1739- Added missing Curl_read() return code checking in TELNET transfers.
1740
1741- Pierre Brico found and fixed TELNET transfers not being aborted upon
1742  a write callback failure.
1743
1744Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2009)
1745- Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before any
1746  other libcurl function.
1747
1748Yang Tse (11 Mar 2009)
1749- Added missing TELNET timeout support for Windows builds. This issue was
1750  reported by Pierre Brico.

1752Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009)
1753- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:
1754
1755  curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
1756  option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
1757  data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
1758  newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
1759  curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
1760  still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
1761  data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
1762  cookie engine switched on.
1763
1764  We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
1765  put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
1766  created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
1767
1768- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4
1769  scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
1770  checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
1771  and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
1772  fix.
1773
1774Daniel Stenberg (8 Mar 2009)
1775- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the
1776  allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
1777
1778- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places
1779  in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
1780  when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
1781  other values indicate error conditions.
1782
1783- Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that
1784  curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
1785  since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
1786  problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
1787  features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.
1788
1789Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2009)
1790- Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to cover
1791  more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using
1792  applications.
1793
1794Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009)
1795- Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This
1796  issue was noticed by Chris Deidun.
1797
1798Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009)
1799- Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported
1800  by Daniel Johnson.
1801
1802Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
1803- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
1804  whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
1805
1806  1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
1807     returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
1808     rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
1809  2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
1810     all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
1811     preferences as our current new connection.
1812
1813Version 7.19.4 (3 March 2009)
1814
1815Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
1816- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
1817  (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
1818  which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
1819  arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
1820  CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
1821  together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
1822  new behavior:
1823
1824  o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
1825  follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
1826  excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
1827  them in your app if you really want that behavior.
1828
1829  o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
1830  using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
1831  other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
1832  protocols libcurl may have been built to support.
1833
1834Daniel Stenberg (27 Feb 2009)
1835- Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and
1836  CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and
1837  Markus Koetter provided the fix!
1838
1839Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009)
1840- As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the
1841  curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
1842  thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
1843  just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
1844  but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
1845  elsewhere.
1846
1847Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009)
1848- Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work.
1849  It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the
1850  time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong.
1851
1852Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
1853- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() for
1854  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return
1855  -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible
1856  to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.
1857
1858Yang Tse (23 Feb 2009)
1859- Daniel Johnson provided a shell script that will perform all the steps needed
1860  to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework
1861
1862Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
1863- I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib'
1864  to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.
1865
1866Yang Tse (20 Feb 2009)
1867- Do not halt compilation when using VS2008 to build a Windows 2000 target.
1868
1869Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2009)
1870- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
1871  FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
1872  write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
1873  re-used properly.
1874
1875  This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
1876  now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
1877  necessary to get read in ftp_done().
1878
1879Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009)
1880- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out
1881  libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!
1882
1883  We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
1884  when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
1885  "TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
1886  libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
1887  data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
1888  data!
1889
1890Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009)
1891- FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error
1892  CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE.
1893
1894Daniel Stenberg (17 Feb 2009)
1895- Kamil Dudka made NSS-powered builds compile and run again!
1896
1897- A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory
1898  leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to
1899  cleanup properly before returning error.
1900
1901- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
1902  plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
1903  CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
1904  connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
1905  as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
1906  connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
1907  (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
1908  CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.
1909
1910  Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
1911  files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
1912  using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.
1913
1914Daniel Stenberg (14 Feb 2009)
1915- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a memory leak in the content encoding
1916  code, which could happen on libz errors.
1917
1918Daniel Fandrich (12 Feb 2009)
1919- Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS.
1920
1921Daniel Stenberg (11 Feb 2009)
1922- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if
1923  the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
1924  condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
1925  reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
1926  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128) filed by Jocelyn Jaubert.
1927
1928Daniel Fandrich (4 Feb 2009)
1929- Don't add the standard /usr/lib or /usr/include paths to LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
1930  (respectively) when --with-ssl=/usr is used (patch based on FreeBSD).
1931
1932- Added an explicit buffer limit check in msdosify() (patch based on FreeBSD).
1933  This couldn't ever overflow in curl, but might if the code were used
1934  elsewhere or under different conditions.
1935
1936Daniel Stenberg (3 Feb 2009)
1937- Hidemoto Nakada provided a small fix that makes it possible to get the
1938  CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD size from file:// "transfers" with
1939  CURLOPT_NOBODY set true.
1940
1941Daniel Stenberg (2 Feb 2009)
1942- Patrick Scott found a rather large memory leak when using the multi
1943  interface and setting CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS to something less than the number
1944  of handles you add to the multi handle. All the connections that didn't fit
1945  in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!
1946
1947- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
1948  version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
1949  proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
1950  switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
1951  option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.
1952
1953  I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
1954  --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
1955
1956Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
1957- When building with c-ares 1.6.1 (not yet released) or later and IPv6 support
1958  enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
1959  ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me with
1960  this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
1961  /etc/hosts file!
1962
1963Daniel Stenberg (30 Jan 2009)
1964- Scott Cantor filed bug report #2550061
1965  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2550061) mentioning that I failed to
1966  properly make sure that the VC9 makefiles got included in the latest
1967  release. I've now fixed the release script and verified it so next release
1968  will hopefully include them properly!
1969
1970Daniel Fandrich (30 Jan 2009)
1971- Fixed --disable-proxy for FTP and SOCKS. Thanks to Daniel Egger for
1972  reporting.
1973
1974Yang Tse (29 Jan 2009)
1975- Introduced curl_sspi.c and curl_sspi.h for the implementation of functions
1976  Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
1977  named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
1978  Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
1979  SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.
1980
1981Daniel Stenberg (28 Jan 2009)
1982- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:
1983  CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
1984  to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
1985  options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
1986  these.
1987
1988Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2009)
1989- Chad Monroe provided the new CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE option that allows an app
1990  to set desired block size to use for TFTP transfers instead of the default
1991  512 bytes.
1992
1993- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to
1994  disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support".  rfc4507bis was later turned
1995  into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077
1996
1997  The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
1998  libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
1999  session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
2000  patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).
2001
2002  If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
2003  enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.
2004
2005  Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
2006  on the proper action.
2007
2008- Alexey Borzov filed bug report #2535504
2009  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with
2010  quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added
2011  test case 1095 that verifies my fix.
2012
2013- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option.
2014  They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only
2015  offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy
2016  even if one is specified.
2017
2018Daniel Fandrich (20 Jan 2009)
2019- Call setlocale() for libtest tests to test the effects of locale-induced
2020  libc changes on libcurl.
2021
2022- Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for
2023  clarity.  This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs
2024  to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is
2025  used (test case 561)
2026
2027- Added tests 561 and 1091 through 1094 to test various combinations
2028  of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish
2029  locale.
2030
2031Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2009)
2032- Lisa Xu pointed out that the ssh.obj file was missing from the
2033  lib/Makefile.vc6 file (and thus from the vc8 and vc9 ones too).
2034
2035Version 7.19.3 (19 January 2009)
2036
2037Daniel Stenberg (16 Jan 2009)
2038- Andrew de los Reyes fixed curlbuild.h for "generic" gcc builds on PPC, both
2039  32 bit and 64 bit.
2040
2041Daniel Stenberg (15 Jan 2009)
2042- Tim Ansell fixed a compiler warning in lib/cookie.c
2043
2044Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009)
2045- Grant Erickson fixed timeouts for TFTP such that specifying a
2046  connect-timeout, a max-time or both options work correctly and as expected
2047  by passing the correct boolean value to Curl_timeleft via the
2048  'duringconnect' parameter.
2049
2050  With this small change, curl TFTP now behaves as expected (and likely as
2051  originally-designed):
2052
2053  1) For non-existent or unreachable dotted IP addresses:
2054
2055   a) With no options, follows the default curl 300s timeout...
2056   b) With --connect-timeout only, follows that value...
2057   c) With --max-time only, follows that value...
2058   d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the smaller value...
2059
2060   and times out with a "curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server" error.
2061
2062  2) For transfers to/from a valid host:
2063
2064   a) With no options, follows default curl 300s timeout for the
2065      first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
2066      timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
2067
2068   b) With --connect-time only, follows that value for the
2069      first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
2070      timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
2071
2072   c) With --max-time only, follows that value for the first
2073      XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and for the remainder of the
2074      transfer...
2075
2076   d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the former
2077      for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the latter for the
2078      remainder of the transfer...
2079
2080   and times out with a "curl: (28) Timeout was reached" error as
2081   appropriate.
2082
2083Daniel Stenberg (13 Jan 2009)
2084- Michael Wallner fixed a NULL pointer deref when calling
2085  curl_easy_setup(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "SESS") on a CURL handle with no
2086  cookies data.
2087
2088- Stefan Teleman brought a patch to fix the default curlbuild.h file for the
2089  SunPro compilers.
2090
2091Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2009)
2092- Based on bug report #2498665 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665)
2093  by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
2094  use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
2095  (using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
2096  the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.
2097
2098Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009)
2099- Karl Moerder brought the patch that creates vc9 Makefiles, and I made
2100  'maketgz' now use the actual makefile targets to do the VC8 and VC9
2101  makefiles.
2102
2103Daniel Stenberg (10 Jan 2009)
2104- Emil Romanus fixed:
2105
2106  When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
2107  header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
2108  state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
2109  ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
2110  bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
2111  break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
2112  to multistate().
2113
2114  How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question.  evhiperfifo.c in
2115  the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
2116  depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
2117  writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.
2118
2119Daniel Fandrich (7 Jan 2009)
2120- Unified much of the SessionHandle initialization done in Curl_open() and
2121  curl_easy_reset() by creating Curl_init_userdefined(). This had the side
2122  effect of fixing curl_easy_reset() so it now also resets
2123  CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD and CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE
2124
2125Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2009)
2126- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update:
2127
2128  I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
2129  since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
2130  time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
2131  library if Curl did the initialization.
2132
2133  It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
2134  call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
2135  ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
2136  lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
2137  But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
2138  generally helpful.
2139
2140Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2009)
2141- 'reconf' is removed since we rather have users use 'buildconf'
2142
2143Daniel Stenberg (31 Dec 2008)
2144- Bas Mevissen reported http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2479030 pointing
2145  out that 'reconf' didn't properly point out the m4 subdirectory when running
2146  aclocal.
2147
2148Daniel Stenberg (29 Dec 2008)
2149 - Phil Lisiecki filed bug report #2413067
2150  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2413067) that identified a problem that
2151  would cause libcurl to mark a DNS cache entry "in use" eternally if the
2152  subsequence TCP connect failed. It would thus never get pruned and refreshed
2153  as it should've been.
2154
2155  Phil provided his own patch to this problem that while it seemed to work
2156  wasn't complete and thus I wrote my own fix to the problem.
2157
2158Daniel Stenberg (28 Dec 2008)
2159- Peter Korsgaard fixed building libcurl with "configure --with-ssl
2160  --disable-verbose".
2161
2162- Anthony Bryan fixed more language and spelling flaws in man pages.
2163
2164Daniel Stenberg (22 Dec 2008)
2165- Given a recent enough libssh2, libcurl can now seek/resume with SFTP even
2166  on file indexes beyond 2 or 4GB.
2167
2168- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,
2169  corrected spellings and more.
2170
2171Daniel Stenberg (20 Dec 2008)
2172- Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing
2173  pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
2174  handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
2175  to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
2176  errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
2177
2178Daniel Stenberg (19 Dec 2008)
2179- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing
2180  was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
2181  than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
2182  running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
2183  curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
2184  alreay triggered.
2185
2186- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl
2187  now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
2188  "regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
2189  result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
2190  speed loss.
2191
2192Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2008)
2193- SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE'
2194  operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
2195  libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
2196  performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
2197  SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
2198  blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
2199  a better fix.
2200
2201Gisle Vanem (16 Dec 2008)
2202- Added the possibility to use the Watt-32 tcp/ip stack under Windows.
2203  The change simply involved adding a USE_WATT32 section in the
2204  config-win32.h files (under ./lib and ./src). This section disables
2205  the use of any Winsock headers.
2206
2207Daniel Stenberg (16 Dec 2008)
2208- libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which
2209  made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers.
2210
2211Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
2212- More work with Igor Novoseltsev to first fix the remaining stuff for
2213  removing easy handles from multi handles when the easy handle is/was within
2214  a HTTP pipeline. His bug report #2351653
2215  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351653) was also related and was
2216  eventually fixed by a patch by Igor himself.
2217
2218Yang Tse (12 Dec 2008)
2219- Patrick Monnerat fixed a build regression, introduced in 7.19.2, affecting
2220  OS/400 compilations with IPv6 enabled.
2221
2222Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
2223- Mark Karpeles filed bug report #2416182 titled "crash in ConnectionExists
2224  when using duphandle+curl_mutli"
2225  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) which showed that
2226  curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection
2227  cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be
2228  used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.
2229
2230Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
2231- Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6
2232  addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address
2233  validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long.
2234
2235Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
2236- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and
2237  there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
2238  Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
2239  broken clients.
2240
2241  The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
2242  text to the right of it).
2243
2244  libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
2245  CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
2246  CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
2247  and proxy.
2248
2249  (note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet)
2250
2251Daniel Fandrich (9 Dec 2008)
2252- Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to
2253  test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass.
2254
2255- Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs.
2256
2257Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
2258- Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any
2259  particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit
2260  FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some
2261  FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear
2262  mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.
2263
2264Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2008)
2265- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when
2266  researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
2267  and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
2268
2269   The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
2270   by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
2271   current MODE and TYPE.
2272
2273  In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
2274  included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
2275  NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
2276
2277- Christian Krause filed bug #2221237
2278  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite
2279  loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his
2280  patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and
2281  eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!
2282
2283Daniel Fandrich (3 Dec 2008)
2284- Fixed the getifaddrs version of Curl_if2ip to work on systems without IPv6
2285  support (e.g. Minix)
2286
2287Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008)
2288- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645
2289  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
2290  the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
2291  progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
2292
2293- Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a
2294  bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured.
2295  (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2382219)
2296
2297Daniel Fandrich (25 Nov 2008)
2298- If a HTTP request is Basic and num is already >=1000, the HTTP test
2299  server adds 1 to num to get the data section to return. This allows
2300  testing authentication negotiations using the Basic authentication
2301  method.
2302
2303- Added tests 1087 and 1088 to test Basic authentication on a redirect
2304  with and without --location-trusted
2305
2306Daniel Stenberg (24 Nov 2008)
2307- Based on a patch by Vlad Grachov, libcurl now uses a new libssh2 0.19
2308  function when built to support SCP and SFTP that helps the library to know
2309  in which direction a particular libssh2 operation would return EAGAIN so
2310  that libcurl knows what socket conditions to wait for before trying the
2311  function call again. Previously (and still when using libssh2 0.18 or
2312  earlier), libcurl will busy-loop in this situation when the easy interface
2313  is used!
2314
2315Daniel Fandrich (20 Nov 2008)
2316- Automatically detect OpenBSD's CA cert bundle.
2317
2318Daniel Stenberg (19 Nov 2008)
2319- I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is
2320  used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use
2321  unless explicitly asked for.
2322
2323- Josef Wolf's extension that allows a $TESTDIR/gdbinit$testnum file that when
2324  you use runtests.pl -g, will be sourced by gdb to allow additional fancy or
2325  whatever you see fit
2326
2327- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP
2328  GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386)
2329
2330- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got
2331  when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
2332  handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
2333  mysterious ways.
2334
2335  The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
2336  function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
2337  select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
2338  chances of being used for pipelnining.
2339
2340Daniel Fandrich (17 Nov 2008)
2341- Added more compiler warning options for gcc 4.3
2342
2343Yang Tse (17 Nov 2008)
2344- Fix a remaining problem in the inet_pton() runtime configure check. And
2345  fix internal Curl_inet_pton() failures to reject certain malformed literals.
2346
2347- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
2348  used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.
2349
2350Daniel Stenberg (16 Nov 2008)
2351- Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support
2352  enabled and FTP disabled.
2353
2354- Added check for NULL returns from strdup() in src/main.c and lib/formdata.c
2355  - reported by Jim Meyering also prevent buffer overflow on MSDOS when you do
2356  for example -O on a url with a file name part longer than PATH_MAX letters
2357
2358- lib/nss.c fixes based on the report by Jim Meyering: I went over and added
2359  checks for return codes for all calls to malloc and strdup that were
2360  missing. I also changed a few malloc(13) to use arrays on the stack and a
2361  few malloc(PATH_MAX) to instead use aprintf() to lower memory use.
2362
2363- I fixed a memory leak in Curl_nss_connect() when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT is
2364  in use.
2365
2366Daniel Fandrich (14 Nov 2008)
2367- Added .xml as one of the few common file extensions known by the multipart
2368  form generator.
2369
2370- Added some #ifdefs around header files and change the EAGAIN test to
2371  fix compilation on Cell (reported by Jeff Curley).
2372
2373Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008)
2374- Fixed several configure script issues affecting checks for inet_ntoa_r(),
2375  inet_ntop(), inet_pton(), getifaddrs(), fcntl() and getaddrinfo().
2376
2377Yang Tse (13 Nov 2008)
2378- Refactored configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into
2379  non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.
2380
2381
