Curl and libcurl 7.19.1
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 23:38:52 +02:00
clear the way for 7.19.1 work!
2008-09-01 17:26:28 +02:00
Public curl releases: 107
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
2008-09-05 18:13:20 +02:00
Command line options: 128
- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
2008-10-08 12:39:43 +02:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 156
- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform() and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to show how they can be used.
2008-05-12 23:43:24 +02:00
Public functions in libcurl: 58
oops, counted one of them twice!
2008-10-07 20:14:11 +02:00
Known libcurl bindings: 37
an impressive 672 contributors (counter after the 7.19.0 release)

Contributors: 672
David Hull made the file: URL parser also accept the somewhat sloppy file syntax: file:/path. I added test case 203 to verify this.
2003-10-29 10:53:21 +01:00
Armel Asselin made the CURLOPT_PREQUOTE option work fine even when CURLOPT_NOBODY is set true. PREQUOTE is then run roughly at the same place in the command sequence as it would have run if there would've been a transfer.
2006-08-09 00:56:46 +02:00
This release includes the following changes:
mention the curl_off_t changes first
2008-09-01 16:27:24 +02:00
- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-config file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those tools should now always be synced.
2008-09-02 14:07:08 +02:00
o pkg-config can now show supported_protocols and supported_features
- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. By enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me test and smoothen out this feature. Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use OpenSSL. This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!
2008-09-05 16:29:21 +02:00
o Added CURLOPT_CERTINFO and CURLINFO_CERTINFO
- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302 option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
2008-09-05 18:13:20 +02:00
o Added CURLOPT_POSTREDIR
Improved the logic the decides whether to use HTTP 1.1 features or not in a request. Detect cases where an upload must be sent chunked and the server supports only HTTP 1.0 and return CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED.
2008-09-05 19:58:53 +02:00
o Better detect HTTP 1.0 servers and don't do HTTP 1.1 requests on them
- Daniel Egger provided a patch that allows you to disable proxy support in libcurl to somewhat reduce the size of the binary. Run configure --disable-proxy.
2008-09-29 23:46:04 +02:00
o configure --disable-proxy disables proxy
- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
2008-10-08 12:39:43 +02:00
o Added CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
sync with reality
2008-09-05 02:16:35 +02:00
o MingW32 non-configure builds are now largefile feature enabled by default
o NetWare LIBC builds are now largefile feature enabled by default
- Dmitriy Sergeyev pointed out that curl_easy_pause() didn't unpause properly during certain conditions. I also changed this code to use realloc() based on Daniel Fandrich's suggestion.
2008-09-05 11:37:37 +02:00
o curl_easy_pause() could behave wrongly on unpause
- Stefan Krause pointed out that libcurl would wrongly send away cookies to sites in cases where the cookie clearly has a very old expiry date. The condition was simply that libcurl's date parser would fail to convert the date and it would then count as a (timed-based) match. Starting now, a missed date due to an unsupported date format or date range will now cause the cookie to not match.
2008-09-08 13:36:19 +02:00
o cookie with invalid expire dates are now considered expired
Dmitry Kurochkin fixed pipelining over proxy using the multi interface
2008-09-08 14:15:09 +02:00
o HTTP pipelining over proxy
fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYS
2008-09-20 14:44:44 +02:00
o fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYS
- Michael Goffioul filed bug report #2107377 "Problem with mutli + GnuTLS + proxy" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107377) that showed how a multi interface using program didn't work when built with GnuTLS and a CONNECT request was done over a proxy (basically test 502 over a proxy to a HTTPS site). It turned out the ssl connect function would get called twice which caused the second call to fail.
2008-09-22 22:42:13 +02:00
o GnuTLS-based multi interface doing HTTPS over proxy failed
- Made the SOCKS code use the new Curl_read_plain() function to fix the bug Markus Moeller reported: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-09/0016.html - recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.
2008-09-23 01:12:00 +02:00
o recv() failures cause CURLE_RECV_ERROR
o SFTP over SOCKS crash fixed
- Rob Crittenden brought a patch to "add some locking for thread-safety to NSS implementation".
2008-09-23 12:27:04 +02:00
o thread-safety issues addressed for NSS-powered libcurls
- Introducing Jamie Lokier's function for date to epoch conversion used in the date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system- provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no longer depend on the TZ environment variable.
2008-09-23 13:00:01 +02:00
o removed the use of mktime() and gmtime(_r)() in date parsing and conversions
- Fixed the HTTP Digest auth code to not behave badly when getting a blank realm with realm="". http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2126435
2008-09-25 16:09:22 +02:00
o HTTP Digest with a blank realm did wrong
- Bug #2107803 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107803) "no CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL in multi mode" also contained a patch that fixed the problem.
2008-09-29 14:22:10 +02:00
o CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL didn't work with the multi interface
- Ian Lynagh provided a patch that now makes CURLOPT_RANGE work fine for SFTP downloads!
2008-09-29 15:21:21 +02:00
o CURLOPT_RANGE now works for SFTP downloads
- The libcurl FTP code now returns CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND error when SIZE gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
2008-09-30 11:51:58 +02:00
o FTP SIZE response 550 now causes CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND
- Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A then the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report the info from host B.
2008-10-07 23:56:56 +02:00
o CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fixed for persistent connection re-use cases
- Igor filed bug #2111613 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2111613) that eventually identified a flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases missed to call the timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and added within the same millisecond.
2008-10-08 23:42:29 +02:00
o remove_handle/add_handle multi interface timer callback flaw

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. By enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me test and smoothen out this feature. Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use OpenSSL.
