when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
mysterious ways.
The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
chances of being used for pipelnining.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a
program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a
libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This
happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too
early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the
bug #2107377
The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both
the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar
fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but
unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix!
problem with MSVC 6 makefile that caused a build failure. It was noted that
the curl_addrinfo.obj reference was missing. I took the opportunity to sort
the list in which this was missing.
problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
places and ways previously and they are now unified.
can be created before resolving the IPv6 name. In the context of running
a test, it doesn't make sense to run an IPv6 test when a host is resolvable
but IPv6 isn't usable. This should fix failures of test 1085 on hosts with
library and DNS support for IPv6 but where actual use of IPv6 has been
administratively disabled.
make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
function in libcurl (called Curl_ascii_equal) for doing case insentive
comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.
return code. This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
test to be skipped.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2155496) pointing out an error case
without a proper human-readable error message. When a read callback returns
a too large value (like when trying to return a negative number) it would
trigger and the generic error message then makes the proplem slightly
different to track down. I've added an error message for this now.
systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6
address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
involved a name lookup.
fixed a CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing:
Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing
the process potentially.
Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect
that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.
eventually identified a flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases
missed to call the timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and
added within the same millisecond.
curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
This should fix test case 160. Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
hard to test reliably.
the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP
address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report
the info from host B.
gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
