|
||
Dan F (17 July 2007)
|
||
- Fixed test cases 613 and 614 by improving the log postprocessor to handle
|
||
a new directory listing format that newer libssh2's can provide. This
|
||
is probably NOT sufficient to handle all directory listing formats that
|
||
server's can provide, and should be revisited.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 July 2007)
|
||
- Jofell Gallardo posted a libcurl log using FTP that exposed a bug which made
|
||
a control connection that was deemed "dead" to yet be re-used in a following
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (13 July 2007)
|
||
- Colin Hogben filed bug report #1750274
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1750274) and submitted a patch for the
|
||
case where libcurl did a connect attempt to a non-listening port and didn't
|
||
provide a human readable error string back.
|
||
|
||
- Daniel Cater fixes:
|
||
1 - made 'make vc8' work on windows.
|
||
2 - made libcurl itself built with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined (which doesn't
|
||
define the symbols for backwards source compatibility)
|
||
3 - updated libcurl-errors.3
|
||
4 - added CURL_DISABLE_TFTP to docs/INSTALL
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 July 2007)
|
||
- Made the krb5 code build with Heimdal's GSSAPI lib.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (12 July 2007)
|
||
- Compile most of the example apps in docs/examples when doing a 'make check'.
|
||
Fixed some compile warnings and errors in those examples.
|
||
|
||
- Removed the example program ftp3rdparty.c since libcurl doesn't support
|
||
3rd party FTP transfers any longer.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 July 2007)
|
||
- Shmulik Regev found an (albeit rare) case where the proxy CONNECT operation
|
||
could in fact get stuck in an endless loop.
|
||
|
||
- Made CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST set to 1 acts as described in the documentation:
|
||
fail to connect if there is no Common Name field found in the remote cert.
|
||
We should deprecate the support for this set to 1 anyway soon, since the
|
||
feature is pointless and most likely never really used by anyone.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (11 July 2007)
|
||
- Shmulik Regev fixed a bug with transfer-encoding skipping during the 407
|
||
error pages for proxy authentication.
|
||
|
||
- Giancarlo Formicuccia reported and fixed a problem with a closed connection
|
||
to a proxy during CONNECT auth negotiation.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (10 July 2007)
|
||
- Fixed a curl memory leak reported by Song Ma with a modified version
|
||
of the patch he suggested. Added his test case as test289 to verify.
|
||
|
||
- Force the time zone to GMT in the cookie tests in case the user is
|
||
using one of the so-called 'right' time zones that take into account
|
||
leap seconds, which causes the tests to fail (as reported by
|
||
Daniel Black in bug report #1745964).
|
||
|
||
Version 7.16.4 (10 July 2007)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (10 July 2007)
|
||
- Kees Cook notified us about a security flaw
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20070710.html) in which libcurl failed to
|
||
properly reject some outdated or not yet valid server certificates when
|
||
built with GnuTLS. Kees also provided the patch.
|
||
|
||
James H (5 July 2007)
|
||
- Gavrie Philipson provided a patch that will use a more specific error
|
||
message for an scp:// upload failure. If libssh2 has his matching
|
||
patch, then the error message return by the server will be used instead
|
||
of a more generic error.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 July 2007)
|
||
- Thomas J. Moore provided a patch that introduces Kerberos5 support in
|
||
libcurl. This also makes the options change name to --krb (from --krb4) and
|
||
CURLOPT_KRBLEVEL (from CURLOPT_KRB4LEVEL) but the old names are still
|
||
|
||
- Song Ma helped me verify and extend a fix for doing FTP over a SOCKS4/5
|
||
proxy.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (27 June 2007)
|
||
- James Housley: Add two new options for the SFTP/SCP/FILE protocols:
|
||
CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS. These control the
|
||
premissions for files and directories created on the remote
|
||
server. CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS defaults to 0644 and
|
||
CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS defaults to 0755
|
||
|
||
- I corrected the 10-at-a-time.c example and applied a patch for it by James
|
||
Bursa.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 June 2007)
|
||
- Robert Iakobashvili re-arranged the internal hash code to work with a custom
|
||
hash function for different hashes, and also expanded the default size for
|
||
the socket hash table used in multi handles to greatly enhance speed when
|
||
very many connections are added and the socket API is used.
|
||
|
||
- James Housley made the CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY mode work for SFTP directory
|
||
listings as well
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 June 2007)
|
||
- Adjusted how libcurl treats HTTP 1.1 responses without content-lenth or
|
||
chunked encoding (that also lacks "Connection: close"). It now simply
|
||
assumes that the connection WILL be closed to signal the end, as that is how
|
||
RFC2616 section 4.4 point #5 says we should behave.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.16.3 (25 June 2007)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 June 2007)
|
||
- As reported by "Tro" in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0161.html and
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0238.html, libcurl didn't properly do
|
||
no-body requests on FTP files on re-used connections properly, or at least
|
||
it didn't provide the info back in the header callback properly in the
|
||
subsequent requests.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 June 2007)
|
||
- Gerrit Bruchh<68>user pointed out a warning that the Intel(R) Thread Checker
|
||
tool reports and it was indeed a legitimate one and it is one fixed. It was
|
||
a use of a share without doing the proper locking first.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (20 June 2007)
|
||
- Adam Piggott filed bug report #1740263
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1740263). Adam discovered that when
|
||
getting a large amount of URLs with curl, they were fetched slower and
|
||
slower... which turned out to be because the --libcurl data collecting which
|
||
wrongly always was enabled, but no longer is...
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 June 2007)
|
||
- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1739100
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1739100) that mentioned that libcurl
|
||
could not actually list the contents of the root directory of a given FTP
|
||
server if the login directory isn't root. I fixed the problem and added
|
||
three test cases (one is disabled for now since I identified KNOWN_BUGS #44,
|
||
we cannot use --ftp-method nocwd and list ftp directories).
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (14 June 2007)
|
||
- Shmulik Regev:
|
||
|
||
I've encountered (and hopefully fixed) a problem involving proxy CONNECT
|
||
requests and easy handles state management. The problem isn't simple to
|
||
reproduce since it depends on socket state. It only manifests itself when
|
||
working with non-blocking sockets.
|
||
|
||
Here is the scenario:
|
||
|
||
1. in multi_runsingle the easy handle is in the CURLM_STATE_WAITCONNECT and
|
||
calls Curl_protocol_connect
|
||
|
||
2. in Curl_proxyCONNECT, line 1247, if the socket isn't ready the function
|
||
returns and conn->bits.tunnel_connecting is TRUE
|
||
|
||
3. when the call to Curl_protocol_connect returns the protocol_connect flag
|
||
is false and the easy state is changed to CURLM_STATE_PROTOCONNECT which
|
||
isn't correct if a proxy is used. Rather CURLM_STATE_WAITPROXYCONNECT
|
||
should be used.
|
||
|
||
I discovered this while performing an HTTPS request through a proxy (squid)
|
||
on my local network. The problem caused openssl to fail as it read the proxy
|
||
response to the CONNECT call ('HTTP/1.0 Established') rather than the SSL
|
||
handshake (the exact openssl error was 'wrong ssl version' but this isn't
|
||
very important)
|
||
|
||
- Dave Vasilevsky filed bug report #1736875
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1736875) almost simultanouesly as Dan
|
||
Fandrich mentioned a related build problem on the libcurl mailing list:
|
||
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-06/0131.html. Both problems had the same
|
||
reason: the definitions of the POLL* defines and the pollfd struct in the
|
||
libcurl code was depending on HAVE_POLL instead of HAVE_SYS_POLL_H.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (13 June 2007)
|
||
- Tom Regner provided a patch and worked together with James Housley, so now
|
||
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS works for SFTP connections as well as FTP
|
||
ones.
|
||
|
||
- Rich Rauenzahn filed bug report #1733119
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1733119) and we collaborated on the
|
||
fix. The problem is that for 64bit HPUX builds, several socket-related
|
||
functions would still assume int (32 bit) arguments and not socklen_t (64
|
||
bit) ones.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 June 2007)
|
||
- James Housley brought his revamped SSH code that is state-machine driven to
|
||
really take advantage of the now totally non-blocking libssh2 (in CVS).
|
||
|
||
Dan F (8 June 2007)
|
||
- Incorporated Daniel Black's test706 and test707 SOCKS test cases.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a few problems when starting the SOCKS server.
|
||
|
||
- Reverted some recent changes to runtests.pl that weren't compatible with
|
||
perl 5.0.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed the test harness so that it actually kills the ssh being used as
|
||
the SOCKS server.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (6 June 2007)
|
||
- -s/--silent can now be used to toggle off the silence again if used a second
|
||
time.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 June 2007)
|
||
- Added Daniel Black's work that adds the first few SOCKS test cases. I also
|
||
fixed two minor SOCKS problems to make the test cases run fine.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (31 May 2007)
|
||
- Feng Tu made (lib)curl support "upload" resuming work for file:// URLs.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (30 May 2007)
|
||
- I modified the 10-at-a-time.c example to transfer 500 downloads in parallel
|
||
with a c-ares enabled build only to find that it crashed miserably, and this
|
||
was due to some select()isms left in the code. This was due to API
|
||
restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no
|
||
longer the case so now libcurl runs much better with c-ares and the multi
|
||
interface with > 1024 file descriptors in use.
|
||
|
||
Extra note: starting now we require c-ares 1.4.0 for asynchronous name
|
||
resolves.
|
||
|
||
- Added CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS which is a curl_multi_setopt() option for setting
|
||
the maximum size of the connection cache maximum size of the multi handle.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (27 May 2007)
|
||
- When working with a problem Stefan Becker had, I found an off-by-one buffer
|
||
overwrite in Curl_select(). While fixing it, I also improved its performance
|
||
somewhat by changing calloc to malloc and breaking out of a loop earlier
|
||
(when possible).
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 May 2007)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden fixed bug #1705802
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705802), which was filed by Daniel
|
||
Black identifying several FTP-SSL test cases fail when we build libcurl with
|
||
NSS for TLS/SSL. Listed as #42 in KNOWN_BUGS.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 May 2007)
|
||
- Song Ma filed bug report #1724016
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1724016) noticing that downloading
|
||
glob-ranges for TFTP was broken in CVS. Fixed now.
|
||
|
||
- 'mytx' in bug report #1723194 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1723194)
|
||
pointed out that the warnf() function in the curl tool didn't properly deal
|
||
with the cases when excessively long words were used in the string to chop
|
||
up.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 May 2007)
|
||
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a memory leak in the function that verifies the
|
||
peer's name in the SSL certificate when built for OpenSSL. The leak happens
|
||
for libcurls with CURL_DOES_CONVERSIONS enabled that fail to convert the CN
|
||
name from UTF8. He also fixed a leak when PKCS #12 parsing failed.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 May 2007)
|
||
- Feng Tu reported that curl -w did wrong on TFTP transfers in bug report
|
||
#1715394 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715394), and the
|
||
transfer-related info "variables" were indeed overwritten with zeroes
|
||
wrongly and have now been adjusted. The upload size still isn't accurate.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 May 2007)
|
||
- Feng Tu pointed out a division by zero error in the TFTP connect timeout
|
||
code for timeouts less than five seconds, and also provided a fix for it.
|
||
Bug report #1715392 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1715392)
|
||
|
||
Dan F (16 May 2007)
|
||
- Added support for compiling under Minix 3.1.3 using ACK.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (14 May 2007)
|
||
- Added SFTP directory listing test case 613.
|
||
|
||
- Added support for quote commands before a transfer using SFTP and test
|
||
case 614.
|
||
|
||
- Changed the post-quote commands to occur after the transferred file is
|
||
closed.
|
||
|
||
- Allow SFTP quote commands chmod, chown, chgrp to set a value of 0.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (9 May 2007)
|
||
- Kristian Gunstone fixed a problem where overwriting an uploaded file with
|
||
sftp didn't truncate it first, which would corrupt the file if the new
|
||
file was shorter than the old.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (8 May 2007)
|
||
- Added FTPS test cases 406 and 407
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 May 2007)
|
||
- CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_STOR_FILE is now known as CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED. This is
|
||
because I just made SCP uploads return this value if the file size of
|
||
the upload file isn't given with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE*. Docs updated to
|
||
reflect this news, and a define for the old name was added to the public
|
||
header file.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (7 May 2007)
|
||
- James Bursa fixed a bug in the multi handle code that made the connection
|
||
cache grow a bit too much, beyond the normal 4 * easy_handles.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 May 2007)
|
||
- Anders Gustafsson remarked that requiring CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION set to 1.0
|
||
when CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES is used to avoid the problem mentioned below is
|
||
not very nice if the client wants to be able to use _either_ a HTTP 1.1
|
||
server or one within the aliases list... so starting now, libcurl will
|
||
simply consider 200-alias matches the to be HTTP 1.0 compliant.
|
||
|
||
- Tobias Rundstr<74>m reported a problem they experienced with xmms2 and recent
|
||
libcurls, which turned out to be the 25-nov-2006 change which treats HTTP
|
||
responses without Content-Length or chunked encoding as without bodies. We
|
||
now added the conditional that the above mentioned response is only without
|
||
body if the response is HTTP 1.1.
|
||
|
||
- Jeff Pohlmeyer improved the hiperfifo.c example to use the
|
||
CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION callback option.
|
||
|
||
- Set the timeout for easy handles to expire really soon after addition or
|
||
when CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM is returned from curl_multi_socket*/perform,
|
||
to make applications using only curl_multi_socket() to properly function
|
||
when adding easy handles "on the fly". Bug report and test app provided by
|
||
Michael Wallner.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (30 April 2007)
|
||
- Improved the test harness to allow running test servers on other than
|
||
the default port numbers, allowing more than one test suite to run
|
||
simultaneously on the same host.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (28 April 2007)
|
||
- Peter O'Gorman fixed libcurl to not init GnuTLS as early as we did before,
|
||
since it then inits libgcrypt and libgcrypt is being evil and EXITS the
|
||
application if it fails to get a fine random seed. That's really not a nice
|
||
thing to do by a library.
|
||
|
||
- Frank Hempel fixed a curl_easy_duphandle() crash on a handle that had
|
||
been removed from a multi handle, and then fixed another flaw that prevented
|
||
curl_easy_duphandle() to work even after the first fix - the handle was
|
||
still marked as using the multi interface.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 April 2007)
|
||
- Peter O'Gorman found a problem with SCP downloads when the downloaded file
|
||
was 16385 bytes (16K+1) and it turned out we didn't properly always "suck
|
||
out" all data from libssh2. The effect being that libcurl would hang on the
|
||
socket waiting for data when libssh2 had in fact already read it all...
|
||
|
||
Dan F (25 April 2007)
|
||
- Added support in runtests.pl for "!n" test numbers to disable individual
|
||
tests. Changed -t to only keep log files around when -k is specified,
|
||
to have the same behaviour as without -t.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 April 2007)
|
||
- Sonia Subramanian brought our attention to a problem that happens if you set
|
||
the CURLOPT_RESUME_FROM or CURLOPT_RANGE options and an existing connection
|
||
in the connection cache is closed to make room for the new one when you call
|
||
curl_easy_perform(). It would then wrongly free range-related data in the
|
||
connection close funtion.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (25 April 2007)
|
||
- Steve Little fixed compilation on VMS 64-bit mode
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 April 2007)
|
||
- Robert Iakobashvili made the 'master_buffer' get allocated first once it is
|
||
can/will be used as it then makes the common cases save 16KB of data for each
|
||
easy handle that isn't used for pipelining.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (23 April 2007)
|
||
- Added <postcheck> support to the test harness.
|
||
|
||
- Added tests 610-612 to test more SFTP post-quote commands.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 April 2007)
|
||
- Song Ma's warning if -r/--range is given with a "bad" range, also noted in
|
||
the man page now.
|
||
|
||
- Daniel Black filed bug #1705177
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1705177) where --without-ssl
|
||
--with-gnutl outputs a warning about SSL not being enabled even though GnuTLS
|
||
was found and used.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 April 2007)
|
||
- Daniel Black filed bug #1704675
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1704675) identifying a double-free
|
||
problem in the SSL-dealing layer, telling GnuTLS to free NULL credentials on
|
||
closedown after a failure and a bad #ifdef for NSS when closing down SSL.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 April 2007)
|
||
- Save one call to curlx_tvnow(), which calls gettimeofday(), in each of
|
||
Curl_socket_ready(), Curl_poll() and Curl_select() when these are called
|
||
with a zero timeout or a timeout value indicating a blocking call should
|
||
be performed.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 April 2007)
|
||
- James Housley made SFTP uploads use libssh2's non-blocking API
|
||
|
||
- Prevent the internal progress meter from updating more frequently than once
|
||
per second.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (17 April 2007)
|
||
- Added test cases 296, 297 and 298 to test --ftp-method handling
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 April 2007)
|
||
- Robert Iakobashvil added curl_multi_socket_action() to libcurl, which is a
|
||
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
|
||
function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
|
||
socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
|
||
allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
|
||
curl_multi_socket*().
|
||
|
||
I added a define in the public curl/multi.h header file that will make your
|
||
existing application automatically use curl_multi_socket_action() instead of
|
||
curl_multi_socket() when you recompile. But of course you'll get better
|
||
performance if you adjust your code manually and actually pass in the
|
||
correct action bitmask to this function.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (14 April 2007)
|
||
- Jay Austin added "DH PARAMETERS" to the stunnel.pem certificate for the test
|
||
suite to make stunnel run better in some (most?) environments.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (13 April 2007)
|
||
- Added test cases 294 and 295 to test --ftp-account handling
|
||
|
||
- Improved handling of out of memory in ftp.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (13 April 2007)
|
||
- Fix test case 534 which started to fail 2007-04-13 due to the existance
|
||
of a new host on the net with the same silly domain the test was using
|
||
for a host which was supposed not to exist.

Daniel S (12 April 2007)
|
||
- Song Ma found a memory leak in the if2ip code if you pass in an interface
|
||
name longer than the name field of the ifreq struct (typically 6 bytes), as
|
||
then it wouldn't close the used dummy socket. Bug #1698974
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1698974)
|
||
|
||
Version 7.16.2 (11 April 2007)
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 April 2007)
|
||
- Ravi Pratap provided some fixes for HTTP pipelining
|
||
|
||
- configure script will ignore --enable-sspi option for non-native Windows.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (9 April 2007)
|
||
- Nick Zitzmann did ssh.c cleanups
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (3 April 2007)
|
||
- Rob Jones fixed better #ifdef'ing for a bunch of #include lines.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 April 2007)
|
||
- Nick Zitzmann made the CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE option work for SFTP as well. The
|
||
accepted commands are as follows:
|
||
|
||
chgrp (gid) (path)
|
||
Changes the group ID of the file or directory at (path) to (gid). (gid)
|
||
must be a number.
|
||
|
||
chmod (perms) (path)
|
||
Changes the permissions of the file or directory at (path) to
|
||
(perms). (perms) must be a number in the format used by the chmod Unix
|
||
command.
|
||
|
||
chown (uid) (path)
|
||
Changes the user ID of the file or directory at (path) to (uid). (uid)
|
||
must be a number.
|
||
|
||
ln (source) (dest)
|
||
Creates a symbolic link at (dest) that points to the file located at
|
||
(source).
|
||
|
||
mkdir (path)
|
||
Creates a new directory at (path).
|
||
|
||
rename (source) (dest)
|
||
Moves the file or directory at (source) to (dest).
|
||
|
||
rm (path)
|
||
Deletes the file located at (path).
|
||
|
||
rmdir (path)
|
||
Deletes the directory located at (path). This command will raise an error
|
||
if the directory is not empty.
|
||
|
||
symlink (source) (dest)
|
||
Same as ln.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 April 2007)
|
||
- Robert Iakobashvili made curl_multi_remove_handle() a lot faster when many
|
||
easy handles are added to a multi handle, by avoiding the looping over all
|
||
the handles to find which one to remove.
|
||
|
||
- Matt Kraai provided a patch that makes curl build on QNX 6 fine again.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (31 March 2007)
|
||
- Fixed several minor issues detected by the coverity.com scanner.
|
||
|
||
- "Pixel" fixed a problem that appeared when you used -f with user+password
|
||
embedded in the URL.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (29 March 2007)
|
||
- Don't tear down the ftp connection if the maximum filesize was exceeded
|
||
and added tests 290 and 291 to check.
|
||
|
||
- Added ftps upload and SSL required tests 401 and 402.
|
||
|
||
- Send an EOF message before closing an SCP channel, as recommended by
|
||
RFC4254. Enable libssh2 tracing when ssh debugging is turned on.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (27 March 2007)
|
||
- Internal function Curl_select() renamed to Curl_socket_ready()
|
||
|
||
New Internal wrapper function Curl_select() around select (2), it
|
||
uses poll() when a fine poll() is available, so now libcurl can be
|
||
built without select() support at all if a fine poll() is available.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 March 2007)
|
||
- Daniel Johnson fixed multi code to traverse the easy handle list properly.
|
||
A left-over bug from the February 21 fix.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (23 March 2007)
|
||
- Added --pubkey option to curl and made --key also work for SCP/SFTP,
|
||
plus made --pass work on an SSH private key as well.
|
||
|
||
- Changed the test harness to attempt to gracefully shut down servers
|
||
before resorting to the kill -9 hammer.
|
||
|
||
- Added test harness infrastructure to support scp/sftp tests, using
|
||
OpenSSH as the server.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a memory leak when specifying a proxy with a file: URL.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (20 March 2007)
|
||
- Fixed: When a signal was caught awaiting for an event using Curl_select()
|
||
or Curl_poll() with a non-zero timeout both functions would restart the
|
||
specified timeout. This could even lead to the extreme case that if a
|
||
signal arrived with a frecuency lower to the specified timeout neither
|
||
function would ever exit.
|
||
|
||
Added experimental symbol definition check CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR in
|
||
Curl_select() and Curl_poll(). When compiled with CURL_ACKNOWLEDGE_EINTR
|
||
defined both functions will return as soon as a signal is caught. Use it
|
||
at your own risk, all calls to these functions in the library should be
|
||
revisited and checked before fully supporting this feature.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (19 March 2007)
|
||
- Bryan Henderson fixed the progress function so that it can get called more
|
||
frequently allowing same calling frecuency for the client progress callback.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (15 March 2007)
|
||
- Various memory leaks plugged and NULL pointer fixes made in the ssh code.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (15 March 2007)
|
||
- Nick made the curl tool accept globbing ranges that only is one number, i.e
|
||
you can now use [1-1] without curl complaining.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (10 March 2007)
|
||
- Eygene Ryabinkin:
|
||
|
||
The problem is the following: when we're calling Curl_done and it decides to
|
||
keep the connection opened ('left intact'), then the caller is not notified
|
||
that the connection was done via the NULLifying of the pointer, so some easy
|
||
handle is keeping the pointer to this connection.
|
||
|
||
Later ConnectionExists can select such connection for reuse even if we're
|
||
not pipelining: pipeLen is zero, so the (pipeLen > 0 && !canPipeline) is
|
||
false and we can reuse this connection for another easy handle. But thus the
|
||
connection will be shared between two easy handles if the handle that wants
|
||
to take the ownership is not the same as was not notified of the connection
|
||
was done in Curl_done. And when some of these easy handles will get their
|
||
connection really freed the another one will still keep the pointer.
|
||
|
||
My fix was rather trivial: I just added the NULLification to the 'else'
|
||
branch in the Curl_done. My tests with Git and ElectricFence showed no
|
||
problems both for HTTP pulling and cloning. Repository size is about 250 Mb,
|
||
so it was a considerable amount of Curl's work.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (9 March 2007)
|
||
- Updated the test harness to add a new "crypto" feature check and updated the
|
||
appropriate test case to use it. For now, this is treated the same as the
|
||
"SSL" feature because curl doesn't list it separately.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (9 March 2007)
|
||
- Robert Iakobashvili fixed CURLOPT_INTERFACE for IPv6.
|
||
|
||
- Robert A. Monat improved the maketgz and VC6/8 generating to set the correct
|
||
machine type too.
|
||
|
||
- Justin Fletcher fixed a file descriptor leak in the curl tool when trying to
|
||
upload a file it couldn't open. Bug #1676581
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1676581)
|
||
|
||
Dan F (9 March 2007)
|
||
- Updated the test harness to check for protocol support before running each
|
||
test, fixing KNOWN_BUGS #11.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (7 March 2007)
|
||
- Reintroduced (after a 3 year hiatus) an FTPS test case (400) into the test
|
||
harness. It is very limited as it supports only ftps:// URLs with
|
||
--ftp-ssl-control specified, which implicitly encrypts the control
|
||
channel but not the data channels. That allows stunnel to be used with
|
||
an unmodified ftp server in exactly the same way that the test https
|
||
server is set up.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (7 March 2007)
|
||
- Honour --ftp-ssl-control on ftps:// URLs to allow encrypted control and
|
||
unencrypted data connections.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (6 March 2007)
|
||
- Fixed a couple of improper pointer uses detected by valgrind in test
|
||
cases 181 & 216.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (2 March 2007)
|
||
- Robert A. Monat and Shmulik Regev helped out to fix the new */Makefile.vc8
|
||
makefiles that are included in the source release archives, generated from
|
||
the Makefile.vc6 files by the maketgz script. I also modified the root
|
||
Makefile to have a VC variable that defaults to vc6 but can be overridden to
|
||
allow it to be used for vc8 as well. Like this:
|
||
|
||
nmake VC=vc8 vc
|
||
|
||
Daniel (27 February 2007)
|
||
- Hang Kin Lau found and fixed: When I use libcurl to connect to an https
|
||
server through a proxy and have the remote https server port set using the
|
||
CURLOPT_PORT option, protocol gets reset to http from https after the first
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
User defined URL was modified internally by libcurl and subsequent reuse of
|
||
the easy handle may lead to connection using a different protocol (if not
|
||
originally http).
|
||
|
||
I found that libcurl hardcoded the protocol to "http" when it tries to
|
||
regenerate the URL if CURLOPT_PORT is set. I tried to fix the problem as
|
||
follows and it's working fine so far
|
||
|
||
Daniel (25 February 2007)
|
||
- Adam D. Moss made the HTTP CONNECT procedure less blocking when used from
|
||
the multi interface. Note that it still does a part of the connection in a
|
||
blocking manner.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (23 February 2007)
|
||
- Added warning outputs if the command line uses more than one of the options
|
||
-v, --trace and --trace-ascii, since it could really confuse the user.
|
||
Clarified this fact in the man page.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (21 February 2007)
|
||
- Ravi Pratap provided work on libcurl making pipelining more robust and
|
||
fixing some bugs:
|
||
o Don't mix GET and POST requests in a pipeline
|
||
o Fix the order in which requests are dispatched from the pipeline
|
||
o Fixed several curl bugs with pipelining when the server is returning
|
||
chunked encoding:
|
||
* Added states to chunked parsing for final CRLF
|
||
* Rewind buffer after parsing chunk with data remaining
|
||
* Moved chunked header initializing to a spot just before receiving
|
||
headers
|
||
|
||
Daniel (20 February 2007)
|
||
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing changed the CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option to handle
|
||
active and passive CCC shutdown and added the --ftp-ssl-ccc-mode command
|
||
line option.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (19 February 2007)
|
||
- Ian Turner fixed the libcurl.m4 macro's support for --with-libcurl.
|
||
|
||
- Shmulik Regev found a memory leak in re-used HTTPS connections, at least
|
||
when the multi interface was used.
|
||
|
||
- Robson Braga Araujo made passive FTP transfers work with SOCKS (both 4 and
|
||
5).
|
||
|
||
Daniel (18 February 2007)
|
||
- Jeff Pohlmeyer identified two problems: first a rather obscure problem with
|
||
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
|
||
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.
|
||
|
||
The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
|
||
the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
|
||
marked for closure.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (16 February 2007)
|
||
- Duncan Mac-Vicar Prett and Michal Marek reported problems with resetting
|
||
CURLOPT_RANGE back to no range on an easy handle when using FTP.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (14 February 2007)
|
||
- Fixed curl-config --libs so it doesn't list unnecessary libraries (and
|
||
therefore introduce unnecessary dependencies) when it's not needed.
|
||
Also, don't bother adding a library path of /usr/lib
|
||
|
||
Daniel (13 February 2007)
|
||
- The default password for anonymous FTP connections is now changed to be
|
||
"ftp@example.com".
|
||
|
||
- Robert A. Monat made libcurl build fine with VC2005 - it doesn't have
|
||
gmtime_r() like the older VC versions. He also made use of some machine-
|
||
specific defines to differentiate the "OS" define.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (12 February 2007)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden added support for NSS (Network Security Service) for the
|
||
SSL/TLS layer. http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/
|
||
|
||
This is the fourth supported library for TLS/SSL that libcurl supports!
|
||
|
||
- Shmulik Regev fixed so that the final CRLF of HTTP response headers are sent
|
||
to the debug callback.
|
||
|
||
- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
|
||
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
|
||
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
|
||
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
|
||
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
|
||
|
||
- release tarballs made with maketgz will from now on have a LIBCURL_TIMESTAMP
|
||
define set to hold the exact date and time of when the tarball was built, as
|
||
a human readable string using the UTC time zone.
|
||
|
||
- Jeff Pohlmeyer fixed a flaw in curl_multi_add_handle() when adding a handle
|
||
that has an easy handle present in the "closure" list pending closure.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (6 February 2007)
|
||
- Regular file downloads wiht SFTP and SCP are now done using the non-blocking
|
||
API of libssh2, if the libssh2 headers seem to support them. This will make
|
||
SCP and SFTP much more responsive and better libcurl citizens when used with
|
||
the multi interface etc.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (5 February 2007)
|
||
- Michael Wallner added support for CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS and
|
||
CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names suggest, do the timeouts with
|
||
millisecond resolution. The only restriction to that is the alarm()
|
||
(sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full seconds. I fixed
|
||
the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
|
||
|
||
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
|
||
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
|
||
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
|
||
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
|
||
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (3 February 2007)
|
||
- Yang Tse fixed the cookie expiry date in several test cases that started to
|
||
fail since they used "1 feb 2007"...
|
||
|
||
- Manfred Schwarb reported that socks5 support was broken and help us pinpoint
|
||
the problem. The code now tries harder to use httproxy and proxy where
|
||
apppropriate, as not all proxies are HTTP...
|
||
|
||
Version 7.16.1 (29 January 2007)
|
||
|
||
Daniel (29 January 2007)
|
||
- Michael Wallner reported that when doing a CONNECT with a custom User-Agent
|
||
header, you got _two_ User-Agent headers in the CONNECT request...! Added
|
||
test case 287 to verify the fix.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (28 January 2007)
|
||
- curl_easy_reset() now resets the CA bundle path correctly.
|
||
|
||
- David McCreedy fixed the Curl command line tool for HTTP on non-ASCII
|
||
platforms.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (25 January 2007)
|
||
- Added the --libcurl [file] option to curl. Append this option to any
|
||
ordinary curl command line, and you will get a libcurl-using source code
|
||
written to the file that does the equivalent operation of what your command
|
||
line operation does!
|
||
|
||
Dan F (24 January 2007)
|
||
- Fixed a dangling pointer problem that prevented the http_proxy environment
|
||
variable from being properly used in many cases (and caused test case 63
|
||
to fail).
|
||
|
||
Daniel (23 January 2007)
|
||
- David McCreedy did NTLM changes mainly for non-ASCII platforms:
|
||
|
||
#1
|
||
There's a compilation error in http_ntlm.c if USE_NTLM2SESSION is NOT
|
||
defined. I noticed this while testing various configurations. Line 867 of
|
||
the current http_ntlm.c is a closing bracket for an if/else pair that only
|
||
gets compiled in if USE_NTLM2SESSION is defined. But this closing bracket
|
||
wasn't in an #ifdef so the code fails to compile unless USE_NTLM2SESSION was
|
||
defined. Lines 198 and 140 of my patch wraps that closing bracket in an
|
||
#ifdef USE_NTLM2SESSION.
|
||
|
||
#2
|
||
I noticed several picky compiler warnings when DEBUG_ME is defined. I've
|
||
fixed them with casting. By the way, DEBUG_ME was a huge help in
|
||
understanding this code.
|
||
|
||
#3
|
||
Hopefully the last non-ASCII conversion patch for libcurl in a while. I
|
||
changed the "NTLMSSP" literal to hex since this signature must always be in
|
||
ASCII.
|
||
|
||
Conversion code was strategically added where necessary. And the
|
||
Curl_base64_encode calls were changed so the binary "blobs" http_ntlm.c
|
||
creates are NOT translated on non-ASCII platforms.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (22 January 2007)
|
||
- Converted (most of) the test data files into genuine XML. A handful still
|
||
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
|
||
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
|
||
tools like xmllint, as well as to edit and view them using XML tools.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (16 January 2007)
|
||
- Armel Asselin improved libcurl to behave a lot better when an easy handle
|
||
doing an FTP transfer is removed from a multi handle before completion. The
|
||
fix also fixed the "alive counter" to be correct on "premature removal" for
|
||
all protocols.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (16 January 2007)
|
||
- Fixed a small memory leak in tftp uploads discovered by curl's memory leak
|
||
detector. Also changed tftp downloads to URL-unescape the downloaded
|
||
file name.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (14 January 2007)
|
||
- David McCreedy provided libcurl changes for doing HTTP communication on
|
||
non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more
|
||
#ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can
|
||
add it without the extra stuff added.
|
||
|
||
- Setting CURLOPT_COOKIELIST to "ALL" when no cookies at all was present,
|
||
libcurl would crash when trying to read a NULL pointer.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (12 January 2007)
|
||
- Toby Peterson found a nasty bug that prevented (lib)curl from properly
|
||
downloading (most) things that were larger than 4GB on 32 bit systems. Matt
|
||
Witherspoon helped as narrow down the problem.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (5 January 2007)
|
||
- Linus Nielsen Feltzing introduced the --ftp-ssl-ccc command line option to
|
||
curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
|
||
will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
|
||
FTP-SSL operation.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (4 January 2007)
|
||
- David McCreedy made changes to allow base64 encoding/decoding to work on
|
||
non-ASCII platforms.
|
||
|
||
Daniel (3 January 2007)
|
||
- Matt Witherspoon fixed the flaw which made libcurl 7.16.0 always store
|
||
downloaded data in two buffers, just to be able to deal with a special HTTP
|
||
pipelining case. That is now only activated for pipelined transfers. In
|
||
Matt's case, it showed as a considerable performance difference,
|
||
|
||
Daniel (2 January 2007)
|
||
- Victor Snezhko helped us fix bug report #1603712
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) (known bug #36) --limit-rate
|
||
(CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken
|
||
on Windows (since 7.16.0, but that's when they were introduced as previous
|
||
to that the limiting logic was made in the application only and not in the
|
||
library). It was actually also broken on select()-based systems (as apposed
|
||
to poll()) but we haven't had any such reports. We now use select(), Sleep()
|
||
or delay() properly to sleep a while without waiting for anything input or
|
||
output when the rate limiting is activated with the easy interface.
|
||
|
||
- Modified libcurl.pc.in to use Libs.private for the libs libcurl itself needs
|
||
to get built static. It has been mentioned before and was again brought to
|
||
our attention by Nathanael Nerode who filed debian bug report #405226
|
||
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=405226).
|
||
|
