the next release is now called 7.19.0
2008-06-08 21:04:46 +00:00
Curl and libcurl 7.19.0
working draft of the upcoming 7.10.8 release notes
2003-09-22 21:38:52 +00:00
start working on 7.18.3!
2008-06-04 16:05:48 +00:00
Public curl releases: 106
- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently! All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-06-08 20:53:49 +00:00
Command line options: 127
another option added, bump counter
2008-07-30 21:57:27 +00:00
curl_easy_setopt() options: 153
- 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 21:43:24 +00:00
Public functions in libcurl: 58
Public web site mirrors: 37
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 09:21:31 +00:00
Known libcurl bindings: 36
start working on 7.18.3!
2008-06-04 16:05:48 +00:00
Contributors: 654
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
- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable with curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-06-06 17:33:35 +00:00
o Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP
- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, for OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
2008-06-06 20:52:32 +00:00
o Added CURLOPT_CRLFILE and CURLE_SSL_CRL_BADFILE
o Added CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT and CURLE_SSL_ISSUER_ERROR
- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently! All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions, now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable verbose mode you use --no-verbose! - Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o - or --no-remote-name.
2008-06-08 20:53:49 +00:00
o curl's option parser for boolean options reworked
o Added --remote-name-all
- Rolland Dudemaine provided fixes to get libcurl to build for the INTEGRITY operating system.
2008-07-01 21:53:47 +00:00
o Now builds for the INTEGRITY operating system
Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo(): CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer" handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named 'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
2008-07-03 06:56:03 +00:00
o Added CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME
Added feature in runtests.pl to select tests based on key word.
2008-07-27 02:34:27 +00:00
o Added test selection by key word in runtests.pl
- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.
2008-07-30 21:24:59 +00:00
o the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variable
- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted the URL parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is: "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
2008-07-30 21:55:26 +00:00
o Added CURLOPT_SCOPE and scope parsing of the URL according to RFC4007
Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn't support this so it goes untested.
2008-08-01 18:41:14 +00:00
o Support --append on SFTP uploads (not with OpenSSH, though)
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
HTTP Digest auth fix on a re-used connection
2007-07-22 10:17:52 +00:00
This release includes the following bugfixes:
Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.
2008-06-13 00:03:12 +00:00
o Fixed curl-config --ca
- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the multi interface is used. Original bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
2008-06-18 22:01:55 +00:00
o Fixed the multi interface connection re-use with NSS-built libcurl
- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for, detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already in use!
2008-06-19 08:31:22 +00:00
o connection re-use when using the multi interface with pipelining enabled
- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previous caused libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name resolve done by c-ares is done) and then immediately re-created and put to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to tell the app about this close/re-create case.
2008-06-19 21:32:51 +00:00
o curl_multi_socket() socket callback fix for close/re-create sockets case
- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send" internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write() function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh- related #ifdefs in the code for readability.
2008-06-20 10:43:32 +00:00
o SCP or SFTP over socks proxy crashed
- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported that it made things work for him again.
2008-06-20 11:15:54 +00:00
o RC4-MD5 cipher now works with NSS-built libcurl
- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with --head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to verify.
2008-06-22 20:38:16 +00:00
o range requests with --head are now done correctly
fallback to gettimeofday when monotonic clock is unavailable at run-time
2008-07-02 03:04:56 +00:00
o fallback to gettimeofday when monotonic clock is unavailable at run-time
- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range code which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use unsigned.
2008-06-30 13:07:05 +00:00
o range numbers could be made to wrongly get output as signed
Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xx response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added test case 1033 to verify.
2008-07-03 08:47:53 +00:00
o unexpected 1xx responses hung transfers
- Scott Barrett provided a test case for a segfault in the FTP code and the fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being cleared properly. Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it verifies the fix.
2008-07-07 20:37:07 +00:00
o FTP transfers segfault when using different CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD
- Andreas Schuldei improved Phil Blundell's patch for IPv6 using c-ares, and I edited it slightly. Now you should be able to use IPv6 addresses fine even with libcurl built to use c-ares.
2008-07-09 18:39:49 +00:00
o c-ares powered libcurls can resolve/use IPv6 addresses
Peter Lamberg filed bug report #2015126: "poll gives WSAEINVAL when POLLPRI is set in fdset.events" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2015126) which exactly pinpointed the problem only triggered on Windows Vista, provided reference to docs and also a fix. There is much work behind Peter Lamberg's excellent bug report. Thank You!
2008-07-10 18:01:44 +00:00
o poll not working on Windows Vista due to POLLPRI being incorrectly used
- Daniel Fandrich found out we didn't pass on the user-agent properly when doing "proxy-tunnels" with non-HTTP prototols and that was simply because the code assumed the user-agent was only needed for HTTP.
2008-07-11 09:08:27 +00:00
o user-agent in CONNECT with non-HTTP protocols
- David Bau filed bug report #2026240 "CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE leads to buffer overrun" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2026240) identifying two problems, and providing the fix for them: - CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is designed for but paused _receiving_ of data! - libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to the server.
2008-07-26 21:15:47 +00:00
o CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE problems fixed
Fixed --use-ascii to properly convert text files on Symbian OS, MS-DOS and OS/2.
2008-07-30 00:09:02 +00:00
o --use-ascii now works on Symbian OS, MS-DOS and OS/2
- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.
2008-07-30 21:24:59 +00:00
o CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT is fixed
Fixed a problem with any FTP URL or any URLs containing an IPv6 address being mangled when passed to proxies when CURLOPT_PORT is also set (reported by Pramod Sharma).
2008-07-31 22:46:29 +00:00
o FTP URLs and IPv6 URLs mangled when sent to proxy with CURLOPT_PORT set
User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsed incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279 (was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
2008-08-01 02:09:08 +00:00
o a user name in a proxy URL without a password was parsed incorrectly
Sync up with reality
2008-08-01 03:17:38 +00:00
o library will now be built with _REENTRANT symbol defined only if needed
