Changelog

||
|
||
Daniel S (31 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin moved several struct fields from the connectdata struct to
|
||
the SingleRequest one to make pipelining better. It is a bit tricky to keep
|
||
them in the right place, to keep things related to the actual request or to
|
||
the actual connection in the right place.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin fixed Curl_done() for pipelining, as it could previously
|
||
crash!
|
||
|
||
- Michal Marek fixed minor mistake in test case 553 that prevented it from
|
||
working on other IP-addresses or port numbers.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.18.0 (28 January 2008)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (27 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin: In "real world" testing I found more bugs in
|
||
pipelining. Broken connection is not restored and we get into infinite
|
||
loop. It happens because of wrong is_in_pipeline values.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Kevin Reed filed bug report #1879375
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl
|
||
got lost in this scenario: proxy tunnel (or HTTPS over proxy), ask to do any
|
||
proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then
|
||
closes the connection after that initial informational response.
|
||
|
||
libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and
|
||
continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will
|
||
now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked
|
||
for, and will thus retry the connection and continue from there.
|
||
|
||
- I made the progress callback get called properly during proxy CONNECT.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Igor Franchuk pointed out that CURLOPT_COOKIELIST set to "ALL" leaked
|
||
memory, and so did "SESS". Fixed now.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (22 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Check poll.h at configuration time, and use it when sys/poll.h unavailable
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin removed the cancelled state for pipelining, as we agreed
|
||
that it is bad anyway. Starting now, removing a handle that is in used in a
|
||
pipeline will break the pipeline - it'll be set back up again but still...
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (21 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Disable ldap support for cygwin builds, since it breaks whole build process.
|
||
Fixing it will affect other platforms, so it is postponed for another release.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Lau Hang Kin found and fixed a problem with the multi interface when doing
|
||
CONNECT over a proxy. curl_multi_fdset() didn't report back the socket
|
||
properly during that state, due to a missing case in the switch in the
|
||
multi_getsock() function.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (17 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Don't abort tests 518 and 537 when unable to raise the open-file soft limit.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Nathan Coulter's patch that makes runtests.pl respect the PATH when figuring
|
||
out what valgrind to run.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Improved handling of out of memory in the command line tool that afected
|
||
data url encoded HTTP POSTs when reading it from a file.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin worked a lot on improving the HTTP Pipelining support that
|
||
previously had a number of flaws, perhaps most notably when an application
|
||
fired up N transfers at once as then they wouldn't pipeline at all that
|
||
nicely as anyone would think... Test case 530 was also updated to take the
|
||
improved functionality into account.
|
||
|
||
- Calls to Curl_failf() are not supposed to provide a trailing newline as the
|
||
function itself adds that. Fixed on 50 or something strings!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (15 Jan 2008)
|
||
- I made the torture test on test 530 go through. This was actually due to
|
||
silly code left from when we switched to let the multi handle "hold" the dns
|
||
cache when using the multi interface... Of course this only triggered when a
|
||
certain function call returned error at the correct moment.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (14 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Joe Malicki filed bug report #1871269
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1871269) and we could fix his hang-
|
||
problem that occurred when doing a large HTTP POST request with the
|
||
response-body read from a callback.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 Jan 2008)
|
||
- I re-arranged the curl --help output. All the options are now sorted on
|
||
their long option names and all descriptions are one-liners.
|
||
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (11 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Daniel Egger made CURLOPT_RANGE work on file:// URLs the very same way it
|
||
already worked for FTP:// URLs.
|
||
|
||
- I made the curl tool switch from using CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION to now use the
|
||
spanking new CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION simply to take advantage of the improved
|
||
performance for the upload resume cases where you want to upload the last
|
||
few bytes of a very large file. To implement this decently, I had to switch
|
||
the client code for uploading from fopen()/fread() to plain open()/read() so
|
||
that we can use lseek() to do >32bit seeks (as fseek() doesn't allow that)
|
||
on systems that offer support for that.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (10 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Michal Marek made curl-config --libs not include /usr/lib64 in the output
|
||
(it already before skipped /usr/lib). /usr/lib64 is the default library
|
||
directory on many 64bit systems and it's unlikely that anyone would use the
|
||
path privately on systems where it's not.
|
||
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
- Nikitinskit Dmitriy filed bug report #1868255
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies
|
||
and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional
|
||
spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Jan 2008)
|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (6 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Jeff Johnson filed bug report #1863171
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1863171) where he pointed out that
|
||
libcurl's date parser didn't accept a +1300 time zone which actually is used
|
||
fairly often (like New Zealand's Dailight Savings Time), so I modified the
|
||
parser to now accept up to and including -1400 to +1400.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Based on further discussion on curl-library, I reverted yesterday's SOCKS5
|
||
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
|
||
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
|
||
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
|
||
curl_easy_setopt() option.
|
||
|
||
The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
|
||
proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
|
||
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (4 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Based on Maxim Perenesenko's patch, we now do SOCKS5 operations and let the
|
||
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
|
||
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
|
||
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (3 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Modified test harness to allow SCP, SFTP and SOCKS4 tests to run with
|
||
OpenSSH 2.9.9, SunSSH 1.0 or later versions. SOCKS5 tests need OpenSSH
|
||
3.7, SunSSH 1.0 or later.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 Jan 2008)
|
||
- I fixed two cases of missing return code checks when handling chunked
|
||
decoding where a write error (or abort return from a callback) didn't stop
|
||
libcurl's processing.
|
||
|
||
- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead
|
||
made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
|
||
definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
|
||
could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
|
||
think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
|
||
course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
|
||
headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
|
||
definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of
|
||
cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type
|
||
seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.
|
||
|
||
- Richard Atterer brought a patch that added support for SOCKS4a proxies,
|
||
which is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy
|
||
instead of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5).
|
||
--socks4a is the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can
|
||
now be set to CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 Jan 2008)
|
||
- Mohun Biswas pointed out that --libcurl generated a source code with an int
|
||
function but without a return statement. While fixing that, I also took care
|
||
about adding some better comments for the generated code.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (27 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Dmitry Kurochkin mentioned a flaw
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-12/0252.html) in detect_proxy() which
|
||
failed to set the bits.proxy variable properly when an environment variable
|
||
told libcurl to use a http proxy.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 Dec 2007)
|
||
- In an attempt to repeat the problem in bug report #1850730
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1850730) I wrote up test case 552. The
|
||
test is doing a 70K POST with a read callback and an ioctl callback over a
|
||
proxy requiring Digest auth. The test case code is more or less identical to
|
||
the test recipe code provided by Spacen Jasset (who submitted the bug
|
||
report).
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Gary Maxwell filed bug report #1856628
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1856628) and provided a fix for the
|
||
(small) memory leak in the SSL session ID caching code. It happened when a
|
||
previous entry in the cache was re-used.
|
||
|
||
Daniel Fandrich (19 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Ensure that nroff doesn't put anything but ASCII characters into the
|
||
--manual text.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (18 Dec 2007)
|
||
- MSVC 9.0 (VS2008) does not support Windows build targets prior to WinXP,
|
||
and makes wrong asumptions of build target when it isn't specified. So,
|
||
if no build target has been defined we will target WinXP when building
|
||
curl/libcurl with MSVC 9.0 (VS2008).
|
||
|
||
- (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2007-12/0039.html) reported and fixed
|
||
a file truncation problem on Windows build targets triggered when retrying
|
||
a download with curl.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Mateusz Loskot pointed out that MSVC 9.0 (VS2008) has the pollfd struct and
|
||
defines in winsock2.h somehow differently than previous versions and that
|
||
curl 7.17.1 would fail to compile out of the box.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (13 Dec 2007)
|
||
- David Wright filed bug report #1849764
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1849764) with an included fix. He
|
||
identified a problem for re-used connections that previously had sent
|
||
Expect: 100-continue and in some situations the subsequent POST (that didn't
|
||
use Expect:) still had the internal flag set for its use. David's fix (that
|
||
makes the setting of the flag in every single request unconditionally) is
|
||
fine and is now used!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Gilles Blanc made the curl tool enable SO_KEEPALIVE for the connections and
|
||
added the --no-keep-alive option that can disable that on demand.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (9 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Andrew Moise filed bug report #1847501
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1847501) and pointed out a memcpy()
|
||
that should be memmove() in the convert_lineends() function.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Renamed all internal static functions that had Curl_ prefixes to no longer
|
||
have them. The Curl_ prefix is exclusively used for library internal global
|
||
symbols. Static functions can be named anything, except for using Curl_ or
|
||
curl_ prefixes. This is for consistency and for easier maintainance and
|
||
overview.
|
||
|
||
- Cleaned up and reformatted the TODO document to look like the FAQ and
|
||
CONTRIBUTE, which makes nicer web pages
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 549 and 550 that test CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE.
|
||
|
||
- Added keywords on a bunch of test cases
|
||
|
||
- Fixed an OOM problem in the curl code that would lead to fclose on a bad
|
||
handle and crash
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Spacen Jasset reported a problem with doing POST (with data read with a
|
||
callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug
|
||
also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked
|
||
with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to
|
||
verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (3 Dec 2007)
|
||
- Ray Pekowski filed bug report #1842029
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1842029) in which he identified a
|
||
problem with SSL session caching that prevent it from working, and provided
|
||
the associated fix!
|
||
|
||
- Now libcurl (built with OpenSSL) doesn't return error anymore if the remote
|
||
SSL-based server doesn't present a certificate when the request is told to
|
||
ignore certificate verification anyway.
|
||
|
||
- Michal Marek introduced CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE which is used to control
|
||
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
|
||
HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
|
||
unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
|
||
better with the appending done!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 Nov 2007)
|
||
- A bug report on the curl-library list showed a HTTP Digest session going on
|
||
with a 700+ letter nonce. Previously libcurl only support 127 letter ones
|
||
and now I bumped it to 1023.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed the resumed FTP upload loop to not require that the read callback
|
||
returns a full buffer on each invoke.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Added test case 1015 that tests --data-urlencode in multiple ways
|
||
|
||
- Fixed --data-urlencode for when no @ or = are used
|
||
|
||
- Extended the user-agent buffer curl uses, since we can hit the 128 byte
|
||
border with plenty development libraries used. Like my current set: "curl
|
||
7.17.2-CVS (i686-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.17.2-CVS OpenSSL/0.9.8g
|
||
zlib/1.2.3.3 c-ares/1.5.2-CVS libidn/1.1 libssh2/0.19.0-CVS"
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Internal rearrangements, so that the previous struct HandleData is no more.
|
||
It is now known as SingleRequest and the Curl_transfer_keeper struct within
|
||
that was remove entirely. This has the upside that there are less duplicate
|
||
struct members that made it hard to see and remember what struct that was
|
||
used to store what data. The transfer_keeper thing was once stored on a
|
||
per-connection basis and then it made sense to have the duplicate info but
|
||
since it was moved to the SessionHandle (in 7.16.0) it just added weirdness.
|
||
The SingleRequest struct is used by data that only is valid for this single
|
||
request.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (22 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Provide a socklen_t definition in curl.h for Win32 API build targets
|
||
which don't have one.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Alessandro Vesely helped me improve the --data-urlencode's syntax, parser
|
||
and documentation.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 Nov 2007)
|
||
- While inspecting the Negotiate code, I noticed how the proxy auth was using
|
||
the same state struct as the host auth, so both could never be used at the
|
||
same time! I fixed it (without being able to check) to use two separate
|
||
structs to allow authentication using Negotiate on host and proxy
|
||
simultaneously.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (20 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Emil Romanus pointed out a bug that made an easy handle get the cookie
|
||
engine activated when set to use a share (even if the share doesn't share
|
||
cookies). I fixed it.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a very long-lasting mprintf() bug that occurred when we did "%.*s%s",
|
||
since the second %s would then wrongly used the numerical precision argument
|
||
instead and crash.
|
||
|
||
- Introduced --data-urlencode to the curl tool for easier url encoding of the
|
||
data sent in a post.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden fixed SSL connections with NSS done with the multi-interface
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Michal Marek made the test suite remember what test servers that fail to
|
||
start so that subsequent tries are simply skipped.
|
||
|
||
- Andres Garcia made the examples build fine on Windows (mingw + msys) when
|
||
the lib was built staticly.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (16 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Ates Goral identified a problem in http.c:add_buffer_send() when a debug
|
||
callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing
|
||
HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped
|
||
size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent
|
||
in one single send. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (15 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Fixed yet another remaining problem with doing SFTP directory listings on a
|
||
re-used persistent connection. Mentioned by Immanuel Gregoire on the mailing
|
||
list.
|
||
|
||
- Michal Marek fixed the test suite to better deal with the case when the HTTP
|
||
ipv6 server can't run.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (14 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Fix a variable potential wrapping in add_buffer() when using absolutely
|
||
huge send buffer sizes.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (13 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Fixed a remaining problem with doing SFTP directory listings on a re-used
|
||
persistent connection. Mentioned by Immanuel Gregoire on the mailing list.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1830637 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1830637), which was
|
||
forwarded from the Gentoo bug tracker by Daniel Black and was originally
|
||
submitted by Robin Johnson, pointed out that libcurl would do bad memory
|
||
references when it failed and bailed out before the handler thing was
|
||
setup. My fix is not done like the provided patch does it, but instead I
|
||
make sure that there's never any chance for a NULL pointer in that struct
|
||
member.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (10 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Vikram Saxena (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0096.html) pointed out
|
||
that the pollfd struct was being multi defined when using VS2008. This is
|
||
now fixed in /curl/lib/select.h
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (8 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1823487 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1823487) pointed
|
||
out that SFTP requests didn't use persistent connections. Neither did SCP
|
||
ones. I gave the SSH code a good beating and now both SCP and SFTP should
|
||
use persistent connections fine. I also did a bunch of indent changes as
|
||
well as a bug fix for the "keyboard interactive" auth.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (6 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Improved telnet support by drastically reducing the number of write
|
||
callbacks needed to pass a buffer to the user. Instead one per byte it
|
||
is now as little as one per segment.
|
||

Yang Tse (6 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1824894 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1824894) pointed
|
||
out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the
|
||
inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C"
|
||
linkage block.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Toby Peterson patched a memory problem in the command line tool that
|
||
happened when a user had a home dir as an empty string. curl would then do
|
||
free() on a wrong area.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (1 Nov 2007)
|
||
- Fixed curl-config --features to not display libz when it wasn't used
|
||
due to a missing header file.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (31 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed the output of curl-config --protocols which showed SCP and SFTP
|
||
always, except when --without-libssh2 was given
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 1013 and 1014 to check that curl-config --protocols and
|
||
curl-config --features matches the output of curl --version
|
||
|
||
Dan F (30 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed an OOM problem with file: URLs
|
||
|
||
- Moved Curl_file_connect into the protocol handler struct
|
||
|
||
Dan F (29 October 2007)
|
||
- Added test case 546 to check that subsequent FTP transfers work after a
|
||
failed one using the multi interface
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 October 2007)
|
||
- Based on one of those bug reports that are intercepted by a distro's bug
|
||
tracker (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=316191), I now made
|
||
curl-config --features and --protocols show the correct output when built
|
||
with NSS.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.17.1 (29 October 2007)
|
||
|
||
Dan F (25 October 2007)
|
||
- Added the --static-libs option to curl-config
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 October 2007)
|
||
- Made libcurl built with NSS possible to ignore the peer verification.
|
||
Previously it would fail if the ca bundle wasn't present, even if the code
|
||
ignored the verification results.
|
||
|
||
Patrick M (25 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed test server to allow null bytes in binary posts.
|
||
_ Added tests 35, 544 & 545 to check binary data posts, both static (in place)
|
||
and dynamic (copied).
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (25 October 2007)
|
||
- Michal Marek fixed the test script to be able to use valgrind even when the
|
||
lib is built shared with libtool.
|
||
|
||
- Fixed a few memory leaks when the same easy handle is re-used to request
|
||
URLs with different protocols. FTP and TFTP related leaks. Caught thanks to
|
||
Dan F's new test cases.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (24 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed the test FTP and TFTP servers to support the >10000 test number
|
||
notation
|
||
|
||
- Added test cases 2000 through 2003 which test multiple protocols using the
|
||
same easy handle
|
||
|
||
- Fixed the filecheck: make target to work outside the source tree
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 October 2007)
|
||
- Vladimir Lazarenko pointed out that we should do some 'mt' magic when
|
||
building with VC8 to get the "manifest" embedded to make fine stand-alone
|
||
binaries. The maketgz and the src/Makefile.vc6 files were adjusted
|
||
accordingly.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 October 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1812190 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1812190) points out
|
||
that libcurl tried to re-use connections a bit too much when using non-SSL
|
||
protocols tunneled over a HTTP proxy.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 October 2007)
|
||
- Michal Marek forwarded the bug report
|
||
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
|
||
FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
|
||
fixes:
|
||
|
||
#1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
|
||
at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
|
||
used by another connection.
|
||
Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.
|
||
|
||
#2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
|
||
data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
|
||
SessionHandle was used by a different connection).
|
||
|
||
A long-term goal is of course to somehow get rid of how the reqdata struct
|
||
is used, as it is too error-prone.
|
||
|
||
- Bug report #1815530 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1815530) points out
|
||
that specifying a proxy with a trailing slash didn't work (unless it also
|
||
contained a port number).
|
||
|
||
Patrick M (15 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed the dynamic CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS problem: this option is now static again
|
||
and option CURLOPT_COPYPOSTFIELDS has been added to support dynamic mode.
|
||
|
||
Patrick M (12 October 2007)
|
||
- Added per-protocol callback static tables, replacing callback ptr storage
|
||
in the connectdata structure by a single handler table ptr.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (11 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed the -l option of runtests.pl
|
||
|
||
- Added support for skipping tests based on key words.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (9 October 2007)
|
||
- Michal Marek removed the no longer existing return codes from the curl.1
|
||
man page.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (7 October 2007)
|
||
- Known bug #47, which confused libcurl if doing NTLM auth over a proxy with
|
||
a response that was larger than 16KB is now improved slightly so that now
|
||
the restriction at 16KB is for the headers only and it should be a rare
|
||
situation where the response-headers exceed 16KB. Thus, I consider #47 fixed
|
||
and the header limitation is now known as known bug #48.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 October 2007)
|
||
- Michael Wallner made the CULROPT_COOKIELIST option support a new magic
|
||
string: "FLUSH". Using that will cause libcurl to flush its cookies to the
|
||
CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR file.
|
||
|
||
- The new file docs/libcurl/ABI describes how we view ABI breakages, soname
|
||
bumps and what the version number's significance to all that is.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (4 October 2007)
|
||
- I enabled test 1009 and made the --local-port use a wide range to reduce the
|
||
risk of failures.
|
||
|
||
- Kim Rinnewitz reported that --local-port didn't work with TFTP transfers.
|
||
This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
|
||
without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
|
||
test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
|
||
have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
|
||
many different hosts in different situations I'll add it in disabled state.
|
||
|
||
Yang Tse (3 October 2007)
|
||
- Fixed issue related with the use of ares_timeout() result.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (3 October 2007)
|
||
- Alexey Pesternikov introduced CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION and
|
||
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to
|
||
replace the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to
|
||
change address, protocol or whatever of the socket.
|
||
|
||
- I renamed the CURLE_SSL_PEER_CERTIFICATE error code to
|
||
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (standard CURL_NO_OLDIES style), and made
|
||
this return code get used by the previous SSH MD5 fingerprint check in case
|
||
it fails.
|
||
|
||
- Based on a patch brought by Johnny Luong, libcurl now offers
|
||
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both
|
||
make the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the
|
||
public key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle
|
||
attack.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 October 2007)
|
||
- libcurl now handles chunked-encoded CONNECT responses
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 October 2007)
|
||
- Alex Fishman reported a curl_easy_escape() problem that was made the
|
||
function do wrong on all input bytes that are >= 0x80 (decimal 128) due to a
|
||
signed / unsigned mistake in the code. I fixed it and added test case 543 to
|
||
verify.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 September 2007)
|
||
- Immanuel Gregoire fixed a problem with persistent transfers over SFTP.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (28 September 2007)
|
||
- Adapted the c-ares code to the API change c-ares 1.5.0 brings in the
|
||
notifier callback(s).
|
||
|
||
Dan F (26 September 2007)
|
||
- Enabled a few more gcc warnings with --enable-debug. Renamed a few
|
||
variables to avoid shadowing global declarations.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (26 September 2007)
|
||
- Philip Langdale provided the new CURLOPT_POST301 option for
|
||
curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
|
||
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
|
||
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
|
||
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
|
||
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
|
||
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
|
||
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
|
||
|
||
The curl tool got this option as --post301
|
||
|
||
Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
|
||
|
||
- Max Katsev reported that when doing a libcurl FTP request with
|
||
CURLOPT_NOBODY enabled but not CURLOPT_HEADER, libcurl wouldn't do TYPE
|
||
before it does SIZE which makes it less useful. I walked over the code and
|
||
made it do this properly, and added test case 542 to verify it.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 September 2007)
|
||
- Immanuel Gregoire fixed KNOWN_BUGS #44: --ftp-method nocwd did not handle
|
||
URLs ending with a slash properly (it should list the contents of that
|
||
directory). Test case 351 brought back and also test 1010 was added.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 September 2007)
|
||
- Mark Davies fixed Negotiate authentication over proxy, and also introduced
|
||
the --proxy-negotiate command line option to allow a user to explicitly
|
||
select it.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (19 September 2007)
|
||
- Rob Crittenden provided an NSS update with the following highlights:
|
||
|
||
o It looks for the NSS database first in the environment variable SSL_DIR,
|
||
then in /etc/pki/nssdb, then it initializes with no database if neither of
|
||
those exist.
|
||
|
||
o If the NSS PKCS#11 libnspsem.so driver is available then PEM files may be
|
||
loaded, including the ca-bundle. If it is not available then only
|
||
certificates already in the NSS database are used.
|
||
|
||
o Tries to detect whether a file or nickname is being passed in so the right
|
||
thing is done
|
||
|
||
o Added a bit of code to make the output more like the OpenSSL module,
|
||
including displaying the certificate information when connecting in
|
||
verbose mode
|
||
|
||
o Improved handling of certificate errors (expired, untrusted, etc)
|
||
|
||
The libnsspem.so PKCS#11 module is currently only available in Fedora
|
||
8/rawhide. Work will be done soon to upstream it. The NSS module will work
|
||
with or without it, all that changes is the source of the certificates and
|
||
keys.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 September 2007)
|
||
- Immanuel Gregoire pointed out that public key SSH auth failed if no
|
||
public/private key was specified and there was no HOME environment variable,
|
||
and then it didn't continue to try the other auth methods. Now it will
|
||
instead try to get the files id_dsa.pub and id_dsa from the current
|
||
directory if none of the two conditions were met.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (17 September 2007)
|
||
- Added hooks to the test suite to make it possible to test a curl running
|
||
on a remote host.
|
||
|
||
- Changed some FTP tests to validate the format of the PORT and EPRT commands
|
||
sent by curl, if not the addresses themselves.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (15 September 2007)
|
||
- Michal Marek made libcurl automatically append ";type=<a|i>" when using HTTP
|
||
proxies for FTP urls.
|
||
|
||
- G<>nter Knauf fixed LDAP builds in the Windows makefiles and fixed LDAPv3
|
||
support on Windows.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (13 September 2007)
|
||
- Added LDAPS, SCP and SFTP to curl-config --protocols. Removed and
|
||
fixed some AC_SUBST configure entries.
|
||
|
||
Version 7.17.0 (13 September 2007)
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (12 September 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1792649 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1792649) pointed
|
||
out a problem with doing an empty upload over FTP on a re-used connection.
|
||
I added test case 541 to reproduce it and to verify the fix.
|
||
|
||
- I noticed while writing test 541 that the FTP code wrongly did a CWD on the
|
||
second transfer as it didn't store and remember the "" path from the
|
||
previous transfer so it would instead CWD to the entry path as stored. This
|
||
worked, but did a superfluous command. Thus, test case 541 now also verifies
|
||
this fix.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (5 September 2007)
|
||
- Added test case 1007 to test permission problem when uploading with TFTP
|
||
(to validate bug #1790403).
|
||
|
||
- TFTP now reports the "not defined" TFTP error code 0 as an error,
|
||
not success.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (5 September 2007)
|
||
- Continued the work on a fix for #1779054
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054). My previous fix from August
|
||
24 was not complete (either) but could accidentally "forget" parts of a
|
||
server response which led to faulty server response time-out errors.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (5 September 2007)
|
||
- Minix doesn't support getsockopt on UDP sockets or send/recv on TCP
|
||
sockets.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (31 August 2007)
|
||
- Made some of the error strings returned by the *strerror functions more
|
||
generic, and more consistent with each other.
|
||
|
||
- Renamed the curl_ftpssl enum to curl_usessl and its enumerated constants,
|
||
creating macros for backward compatibility:
|
||
|
||
CURLFTPSSL_NONE => CURLUSESSL_NONE
|
||
CURLFTPSSL_TRY => CURLUSESSL_TRY
|
||
CURLFTPSSL_CONTROL => CURLUSESSL_CONTROL
|
||
CURLFTPSSL_ALL => CURLUSESSL_ALL
|
||
CURLFTPSSL_LAST => CURLUSESSL_LAST
|
||
|
||
Dan F (30 August 2007)
|
||
- Renamed several libcurl error codes and options to make them more general
|
||
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
|
||
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
|
||
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
|
||
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
|
||
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
|
||
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.
|
||
|
||
The following unused error codes were removed:
|
||
|
||
CURLE_BAD_CALLING_ORDER
|
||
CURLE_BAD_PASSWORD_ENTERED
|
||
CURLE_FTP_CANT_RECONNECT
|
||
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_GET_SIZE
|
||
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_ASCII
|
||
CURLE_FTP_USER_PASSWORD_INCORRECT
|
||
CURLE_FTP_WEIRD_USER_REPLY
|
||
CURLE_FTP_WRITE_ERROR
|
||
CURLE_LIBRARY_NOT_FOUND
|
||
CURLE_MALFORMAT_USER
|
||
CURLE_OBSOLETE
|
||
CURLE_SHARE_IN_USE
|
||
CURLE_URL_MALFORMAT_USER
|
||
|
||
The following error codes were renamed:
|
||
|
||
CURLE_FTP_ACCESS_DENIED => CURLE_REMOTE_ACCESS_DENIED
|
||
CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_BINARY => CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_SET_TYPE
|
||
CURLE_FTP_SSL_FAILED => CURLE_USE_SSL_FAILED
|
||
CURLE_FTP_QUOTE_ERROR => CURLE_QUOTE_ERROR
|
||
CURLE_TFTP_DISKFULL => CURLE_REMOTE_DISK_FULL
|
||
CURLE_TFTP_EXISTS => CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_EXISTS
|
||
CURLE_HTTP_RANGE_ERROR => CURLE_RANGE_ERROR
|
||
|
||
The following options were renamed:
|
||
|
||
CURLOPT_SSLKEYPASSWD => CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD
|
||
CURLOPT_FTPAPPEND => CURLOPT_APPEND
|
||
CURLOPT_FTPLISTONLY => CURLOPT_DIRLISTONLY
|
||
CURLOPT_FTP_SSL => CURLOPT_USE_SSL
|
||
|
||
A few more changes will take place with the next SONAME bump of the
|
||
library. These are documented in docs/TODO
|
||
|
||
- Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
|
||
|
||
- Added more accurate error code returns from SFTP operations. Added test
|
||
case 615 to test an SFTP upload failure.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (28 August 2007)
|
||
- Some minor internal type and const changes based on a splint scan.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (24 August 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
|
||
out that libcurl didn't deal with large responses from server commands, when
|
||
the single response was consisting of multiple lines but of a total size of
|
||
16KB or more. Dan Fandrich improved the ftp test script and provided test
|
||
case 1006 to repeat the problem, and I fixed the code to make sure this new
|
||
test case runs fine.
|
||
|
||
Patrick M (23 August 2007)
|
||
- OS/400 port: new files lib/config-os400.h lib/setup-os400.h packages/OS400/*.
|
||
See packages/OS400/README.OS400.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 August 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1779751 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779751) pointed
|
||
out that doing first a file:// upload and then an FTP upload crashed libcurl
|
||
or at best caused furious valgrind complaints. Fixed now!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 August 2007)
|
||
- Bug report #1779054 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1779054) pointed
|
||
out that libcurl didn't deal with very long (>16K) FTP server response lines
|
||
properly. Starting now, libcurl will chop them off (thus the client app will
|
||
not get the full line) but survive and deal with them fine otherwise. Test
|
||
case 1003 was added to verify this.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (20 August 2007)
|
||
- Based on a patch by Christian Vogt, the FTP code now sets the upcoming
|
||
download transfer size much earlier to be possible to get read with
|
||
CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD as soon as possible. This is very much in a
|
||
similar spirit to the HTTP size change from August 11 2007.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (18 August 2007)
|
||
- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1776232
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776232) about libcurl calling
|
||
Curl_client_write(), passing on a const string that the caller may not
|
||
modify and yet it does (on some platforms).
|
||
|
||
- Robson Braga Araujo filed bug report #1776235
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1776235) about ftp requests with NOBODY
|
||
on a directory would do a "SIZE (null)" request. This is now fixed and test
|
||
case 1000 was added to verify.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (17 August 2007)
|
||
- Song Ma provided a patch that cures a problem libcurl has when doing resume
|
||
HTTP PUT using Digest authentication. Test case 5320 and 5322 were also
|
||
added to verify the functionality.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (14 August 2007)
|
||
- Andrew Wansink provided an NTLM bugfix: in the case the server sets the flag
|
||
NTLMFLAG_NEGOTIATE_UNICODE, we need to filter it off because libcurl doesn't
|
||
UNICODE encode the strings it packs into the NTLM authenticate packet.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (11 August 2007)
|
||
- Allen Pulsifer provided a patch that makes libcurl set the expected download
|
||
size earlier when doing HTTP downloads, so that applications and the
|
||
progress meter etc know get the info earlier in the flow than before.
|
||
|
||
- Patrick Monnerat modified the LDAP code and approach in curl. Starting now,
|
||
the configure script checks for openldap and friends and we link with those
|
||
libs just like we link all other third party libraries, and we no longer
|
||
dlopen() those libraries. Our private header file lib/ldap.h was renamed to
|
||
lib/curl_ldap.h due to this. I set a tag in CVS (curl-7_17_0-preldapfix)
|
||
just before this commit, just in case.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (8 August 2007)
|
||
- Song Ma noted a zlib memory leak in the illegal compressed header
|
||
countermeasures code path.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (4 August 2007)
|
||
- Patrick Monnerat fixed curl_easy_escape() and curlx_strtoll() to work on
|
||
non-ASCII systems.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (3 August 2007)
|
||
- I cut out support for libssh2 versions older than 0.16 to make our code a
|
||
lot simpler, and to avoid getting trouble with the LIBSSH2_APINO define
|
||
that 1) didn't work properly since it was >32 bits and 2) is removed in
|
||
libssh2 0.16...
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (2 August 2007)
|
||
- Scott Cantor filed bug report #1766320
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1766320) pointing out that the libcurl
|
||
code accessed two curl_easy_setopt() options (CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT and
|
||
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE) as ints even though they're documented to be
|
||
passed in as longs, and that makes a difference on 64 bit architectures.
|
||
|
||
- Dmitriy Sergeyev reported a regression: resumed file:// transfers broke
|
||
after 7.16.2. This is much due to the different treatment file:// gets
|
||
internally, but now I added test 231 to make it less likely to happen again
|
||
without us noticing!
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (1 August 2007)
|
||
- Patrick Monnerat and I modified libcurl so that now it *copies* all strings
|
||
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
|
||
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
|
||
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
|
||
strings and keep private copies. This is also part of Patrick Monnerat's
|
||
OS/400 port.
|
||
|
||
Due to this being a somewhat interesting change API wise, I've decided to
|
||
bump the version of the upcoming release to 7.17.0. Older applications will
|
||
of course not notice this change nor do they have to care, but new
|
||
applications can be written to take advantage of this.
|
||
|
||
- Greg Morse reported a problem with POSTing using ANYAUTH to a server
|
||
requiring NTLM, and he provided test code and a test server and we worked
|
||
out a bug fix. We failed to count sent body data at times, which then caused
|
||
internal confusions when libcurl tried to send the rest of the data in order
|
||
to maintain the same connection alive.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (31 July 2007)
|
||
- Peter O'Gorman pointed out (and fixed) that the non-blocking check in
|
||
configure made libcurl use blocking sockets on AIX 4 and 5, while that
|
||
wasn't the intention.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (29 July 2007)
|
||
- Jayesh A Shah filed bug report #1759542
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1759542) identifying a rather serious
|
||
problem with FTPS: libcurl closed the data connection socket and then later
|
||
in the flow it would call the SSL layer to do SSL shutdown which then would
|
||
use a socket that had already been closed - so if the application had opened
|
||
a new one in the mean time, libcurl could send gibberish that way! I worked
|
||
with Greg Zavertnik to properly diagnose and fix this. The fix affects code
|
||
for all SSL libraries we support, but it has only been truly verified to
|
||
work fine for the OpenSSL version. The others have only been code reviewed.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (23 July 2007)
|
||
- Implemented the parts of Patrick Monnerat's OS/400 patch that introduces
|
||
support for the OS/400 Secure Sockets Layer library.
|
||
|
||
Dan F (23 July 2007)
|
||
- Implemented only the parts of Patrick Monnerat's OS/400 patch that renamed
|
||
some few internal identifiers to avoid conflicts, which could be useful on
|
||
other platforms.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (22 July 2007)
|
||
- HTTP Digest bug fix by Chris Flerackers:
|
||
|
||
Scenario
|
||
|
||
- Perfoming a POST request with body
|
||
- With authentication (only Digest)
|
||
- Re-using a connection
|
||
|
||
libcurl would send a HTTP POST with an Authorization header but without
|
||
body. Our server would return 400 Bad Request in that case (because
|
||
authentication passed, but the body was empty).
|
||
|
||
Cause
|
||
|
||
1) http_digest.c -> Curl_output_digest
|
||
- Updates allocptr.userpwd/allocptr.proxyuserpwd *only* if d->nonce is
|
||
filled in (and no errors)
|
||
- authp->done = TRUE if d->nonce is filled in
|
||
2) http.c -> Curl_http
|
||
- *Always* uses allocptr.userpwd/allocptr.proxyuserpwd if not NULL
|
||
3) http.c -> Curl_http, Curl_http_output_auth
|
||
|
||
So what happens is that Curl_output_digest cannot yet update the
|
||
Authorization header (allocptr.userpwd) which results in authhost->done=0 ->
|
||
authhost->multi=1 -> conn->bits.authneg = TRUE. The body is not
|
||
added. *However*, allocptr.userpwd is still used when building the request
|
||
|
||
- Added test case 354 that makes a simple FTP retrieval without password, which
|
||
verifies the bug fix in #1757328.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (21 July 2007)
|
||
- To allow more flexibility in FTP test cases, I've removed the enforced states
|
||
from the test server code as they served no real purpose. The test server
|
||
is here to serve for the test cases, not to attempt to function as a real
|
||
server! While at it, I modified test case 141 to better test and verify
|
||
curl -I on a single FTP file.
|
||
|
||
Daniel S (20 July 2007)
|
||
- James Housley fixed the SFTP PWD command to work.
|
||
|
||
- Ralf S. Engelschall filed bug report #1757328
|
||
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1757328) and submitted a patch. It
|
||
turns out we broke login to FTP servers that don't require (nor understand)
|
||
PASS after the USER command. The breakage was done as part of the krb5
|
||
commit so a krb-using person needs to verify that the current version now
|
||
works or if we need to fix it (in a different way of course).
|
||
|
||
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)
|
||
- Daniel Johnson fixed a bug in how libssh2_session_last_error() was used, in
|
||
two places.
|
||
|
||
- 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.

|
||
- 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.

|
||
- 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.

|
||
- 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.

|
||
- 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.
|
||
|
||

|
||
- 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.
|
||
|

|
||
- 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,
|
||
|
||

|
||
- 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).
