Curl and libcurl 7.19.8

Public curl releases: 114
- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0 option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0. I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.

Command line options: 132
- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this new behavior: o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow them in your app if you really want that behavior. o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all protocols libcurl may have been built to support.

curl_easy_setopt() options: 163
- 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.

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
- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
2009-11-14 08:53:34 +01:00
o support SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for client certificate
Added '--configure' option to curl-config to display original configure arguments when curl was built
2009-11-14 20:23:26 +01:00
o curl-config can now show the arguments used when building curl

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring less than 100 bytes.
2009-11-05 00:09:17 +01:00
o progress meter percentage and transfer time estimates fixes
I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
2009-11-05 16:04:03 +01:00
o portability enhancement for OS's without orthogonal directory tree structure
- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properly used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
2009-11-11 10:01:43 +01:00
o progress meter/callback during FTP connection
- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
2009-11-11 10:31:37 +01:00
o DNS cache timeout while transfer in progress
- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapi and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
2009-11-11 22:15:34 +01:00
o compilation when configured --with-gssapi having GNU GSS installed
- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connection won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
2009-11-14 03:30:30 +01:00
o SSL connection reused with mismatched protection level
- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS when --with-nss is set but not "yes". I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc, but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
2009-11-14 10:13:47 +01:00
o configure --with-nss is set but not "yes"
- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure into its pkg-config file. So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
2009-11-17 19:11:06 +01:00
o don't store LDFLAGS in pkg-config file
- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that could end up with entries that wouldn't time-out: 1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port that's down 2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging around with in_use != 0. (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
2009-11-17 23:53:55 +01:00
o never-pruned DNS cached entries
- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection had CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
2009-11-20 14:27:21 +01:00
o HTTP proxy tunnel re-used connection even if tunnel got disabled
- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets were closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
2009-11-20 20:32:49 +01:00
o SSL lib post-close write
