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 09:53:21 +00:00
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.
2006-08-08 22:56:46 +00:00
This release includes the following changes:
Armel Asselin separated CA cert verification problems from problems with reading the (local) CA cert file to let users easier pinpoint the actual problem. CURLE_SSL_CACERT_BADFILE (77) is the new libcurl error code.
2006-10-21 11:32:05 +00:00
Implemented the parts of Patrick Monnerat's OS/400 patch that introduces support for the OS/400 Secure Sockets Layer library
2007-07-23 21:46:26 +00:00
o support for OS/400 Secure Sockets Layer library
Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all strings passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given strings and keep private copies.
2007-08-01 21:20:01 +00:00
o curl_easy_setopt() now allocates strings passed to it
SCP and SFTP support now requires libssh2 0.16 or later
2007-08-03 08:31:47 +00:00
o SCP and SFTP support now requires libssh2 0.16 or later
Patrick Monnerat modified the LDAP code and approach in curl. Starting now, the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix) just before this commit, just in case.
2007-08-11 20:57:54 +00:00
o LDAP libraries are now linked "regularly" and not with dlopen
Allen Pulsifer provided a patch that makes libcurl set the expected download size earlier when doing HTTP downloads, so that applications and the progress meter etc know get the info earlier in the flow than before.
2007-08-11 21:05:13 +00:00
o HTTP transfers have the download size info "available" earlier
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.

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 10:17:52 +00:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
o test cases 31, 46, 61, 506, 517 now work in time zones that use leap seconds
o problem with closed proxy connection during HTTP CONNECT auth negotiation
o transfer-encoding skipping didn't ignore the 407 response bodies properly
o CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1
o CONNECT endless loop
o krb5 support builds with Heimdal
o added returned error string for connection refused case
o re-use of dead FTP control connections
o login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand) PASS after the
USER command
o bad free of memory from libssh2
o the SFTP PWD command works
o HTTP Digest auth on a re-used connection
Bug report #1759542 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1759542). A bad use of a socket after it has been closed, when the FTP-SSL data connection is taken down.
2007-07-29 12:54:05 +00:00
o FTPS data connection close
AIX 4 and 5 get to use non-blocking sockets
2007-07-30 22:54:02 +00:00
o AIX 4 and 5 get to use non-blocking sockets
Greg Morse reported a problem with POSTing using ANYAUTH to a server requiring NTLM, and he provided test code and a test server and we worked out a bug fix. We failed to count sent body data at times, which then caused internal confusions when libcurl tried to send the rest of the data in order to maintain the same connection alive. (and then I did some minor reformatting of code in lib/http.c)
2007-08-01 12:58:04 +00:00
o small POST with NTLM
Dmitriy Sergeyev reported a regression: resumed file:// transfers broke after 7.16.2. This is much due to the different treatment file:// gets internally, but now I added test 231 to make it less likely to happen again without us noticing!
2007-08-02 14:09:08 +00:00
o resumed file:// transfers
Scott Cantor filed bug report #1766320 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1766320) pointing out that the libcurl code accessed two curl_easy_setopt() options (CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE) as ints even though they're documented to be passed in as longs, and that makes a difference on 64 bit architectures.
2007-08-02 20:10:28 +00:00
o CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE are 64 bit "clean"
Song Ma noted a zlib memory leak in the illegal compressed header countermeasures code path.
2007-08-08 17:51:40 +00:00
o memory leak when handling compressed data streams from broken servers
