Curl and libcurl 7.19.5
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 23:38:52 +02:00
start over on the journey towards 7.19.5
2009-03-03 00:44:42 +01:00
Public curl releases: 111
- 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.
2009-02-02 17:19:23 +01:00
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.
2009-03-03 00:05:31 +01:00
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
- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
2009-03-03 12:01:24 +01:00
o libcurl now closes all dead connections whenever you attempt to open a new
connection
- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2 library is found to support it.
2009-03-13 10:58:15 +01:00
o libssh2's version number can now be figured out run-time instead of using
the build-time fixed number
- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a pipe. This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read from a stream!
2009-04-28 13:19:10 +02:00
o CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION may now return CURL_SEEKFUNC_CANTSEEK
o curl can now upload with resume even when reading from a pipe

HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
Fix NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds
2009-03-05 02:23:14 +01:00
o NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors, when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and other values indicate error conditions.
2009-03-08 23:52:05 +01:00
o fixed the GnuTLS-using code to do correct return code checks
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
2009-03-08 23:56:55 +01:00
o an alloc-related call in the OpenSSL-using code didn't check the return value
- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix: curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the cookie engine switched on. We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
2009-03-09 13:21:46 +01:00
o curl_easy_duphandle() failed to duplicate cookies at times
Added TELNET timeout support for Windows builds
2009-03-11 05:15:33 +01:00
o missing TELNET timeout support in Windows builds
Fix TELNET transfers not being aborted upon write callback failures
2009-03-12 14:18:25 +01:00
o missing Curl_read() and write callback result checking in TELNET transfers
- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled explicitly.
2009-03-18 13:48:51 +01:00
o more ciphers enabled in libcurl built to use NSS
Added the curl_easy_recv return code fix
2009-04-02 06:41:03 +02:00
o properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv
Sun compilers specific preprocessor block removed from curlbuild.h.dist
2009-04-08 03:25:34 +02:00
o Sun compilers specific preprocessor block removed from curlbuild.h.dist
Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
2009-04-10 04:50:21 +02:00
o allow creation of four way fat libcurl Mac OS X Framework
- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
2009-04-24 23:55:18 +02:00
o several memory leaks in libcurl+NSS
- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin Storsjo pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed looked like: curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0); The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully not hit any existing users badly.
2009-04-13 20:01:02 +02:00
o improved the CURLOPT_NOBODY set to 0 confusions
mention Pramod Sharma and "persistent connections when doing FTP over a HTTP proxy"
2009-04-18 00:36:13 +02:00
o persistent connections when doing FTP over a HTTP proxy
- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str - within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this mistake happening.
2009-04-20 19:53:06 +02:00
o --libcurl bogus strings where other data was pointed to
- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
2009-04-20 23:41:17 +02:00
o crash related to FTP and "Re-used connection seems dead, get a new one"
- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
2009-04-26 13:56:22 +02:00
o CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME with the multi interface
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
2009-04-28 22:27:06 +02:00
o Enhanced upload speeds on Windows
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 12:17:52 +02:00
This release includes the following known bugs:
o see docs/KNOWN_BUGS (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/knownbugs.html)
This release would not have looked like this without help, code, reports and
advice from friends like these:
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors, when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and other values indicate error conditions.
