Curl and libcurl 7.18.2
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 23:38:52 +02:00
back to a blank for 7.18.2
2008-03-30 11:22:45 +02:00
Public curl releases: 105
Eric Landes provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the --keepalive-time to curl to set the keepalive probe interval. I also took the opportunity to rename the recently added no-keep-alive option to no-keepalive to keep a consistent naming and to avoid getting two dashes in these option names. Eric also provided an update to the man page for the new option.
2008-01-12 23:10:53 +01:00
Command line options: 126
Georg Lippitsch brought CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION and CURLOPT_SEEKDATA to allow libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size, I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
2008-01-10 11:30:19 +01:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 150
Introducing curl_easy_pause() and new magic return codes for both the read and the write callbacks that now can make a connection's reading and/or writing get paused.
2008-01-08 15:52:05 +01:00
Public functions in libcurl: 56
new mirror and mirror recount after cleansing
2008-02-15 10:29:57 +01:00
Public web site mirrors: 39
contributor re-count (we'll break the 600 limit very very soon now) and I made all the numericals at the top phrased "shorter" and I cut out the "number of releases since the very beginning" since that's just the number curl releases + 26 and not a very interesting number anyway.
2007-10-31 10:21:31 +01:00
Known libcurl bindings: 36
- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow an application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case 554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.

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:
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 13:32:05 +02:00
- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow an application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case 554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
2008-03-31 12:02:23 +02:00
o CURLFORM_STREAM was added
Scott Barrett added support for CURLOPT_NOBODY over SFTP
2008-04-03 22:56:59 +02:00
o CURLOPT_NOBODY is now supported over SFTP
Added support for running on Symbian OS.
2008-04-23 00:53:53 +02:00
o curl can now run on Symbian OS
- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done on redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
2008-04-30 23:20:08 +02:00
o curl -w redirect_url and CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL
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
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
- Setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to FALSE will now switch the HTTP request method to GET simply because previously when you set CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE first and then FALSE you'd end up in a broken state where a HTTP request would do a HEAD by still act a lot like for a GET and hang waiting for the content etc.
2008-04-03 23:44:49 +02:00
o CURLOPT_NOBODY first set to TRUE and then FALSE for HTTP no longer causes
the confusion that could lead to a hung transfer
- Alexey Simak fixed curl_easy_reset() to reset the max redirect limit properly
2008-04-05 23:13:44 +02:00
o curl_easy_reset() resets the max redirect limit properly
- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good: Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available. Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
2008-04-07 11:26:30 +02:00
o configure now correctly recognizes Heimdal and MIT gssapi libraries
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a case where malloc() was called but was not checked for a NULL return, in the Negotiate code.
2008-04-12 13:50:51 +02:00
o malloc() failure check in Negotiate
- Brock Noland reported that curl behaved differently depending on which order you used -i and -I.
2008-04-14 16:42:06 +02:00
o -i and -I together now work the same no matter what order they're used
Added support for running on Symbian OS.
2008-04-23 00:53:53 +02:00
o the typechecker can be bypassed by defining CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK
- Norbert Frese filed bug report #1951588: "Problem with curlftpfs and libcurl" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1951588) which seems to be an identical report to what Denis Golovan reported in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html The FTP code didn't reset the user/password pointers properly even though there might've been a new struct/cconnection getting used.
2008-04-28 23:29:17 +02:00
o a pointer mixup could make the FTP code send bad user+password under rare
circumstances (found when using curlftpfs)
- Jean-Francois Bertrand reported a libcurl crash with CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0011.html
2008-05-03 15:43:35 +02:00
o CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION can now be used to create a unix domain socket
o CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY crash due to getprotobyname() use
- Ben Van Hof filed bug report #1945240: "libcurl sometimes sends body twice when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240). The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second. Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.
2008-05-03 23:45:12 +02:00
o libcurl sometimes sent body twice when using CURLAUTH_ANY
- Yuriy Sosov pointed out a configure fix for detecting c-ares when that is built debug-enabled.
2008-05-04 00:04:39 +02:00
o configure detecting debug-enabled c-ares
Christopher Palow provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the use of microsecond resolution keys for internal splay trees. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-04/0513.html
2008-05-07 17:41:41 +02:00
o microsecond resolution keys for internal splay trees
- Liam Healy filed the debian bug report #480044 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480044) identifying a segfault when using krb5 ftp, but the krb4 code had the same problem.
2008-05-07 23:02:21 +02:00
o krb4 and krb5 ftp segfault
- Stefan Krause reported a busy-looping case when using the multi interface and doing CONNECT to a proxy. The app would then busy-loop until the proxy completed its response.
2008-05-09 14:59:24 +02:00
o multi interface busy loop for CONNECT requests

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:
- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good: Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available. Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
