+
+Kamil Dudka (17 June 2010)
+- Improve test575 in order to not fail with threaded DNS resolver.
+
+Version 7.21.0 (16 June 2010)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a case of spurious SSL connection aborts using
+ libcurl and OpenSSL. "I tracked it down to uncleared error state on the
+ OpenSSL error stack - patch attached deals with that."
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 June 2010)
+- Frank Meier added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_PORT, CURLINFO_LOCAL_IP and
+ CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT to curl_easy_getinfo().
+
+Yang Tse (4 June 2010)
+- Enabled OpenLDAP support for cygwin builds. This support was disabled back
+ in 2008 due to incompatibilities between OpenSSL and OpenLDAP headers.
+ cygwin's OpenSSL 0.9.8l and OpenLDAP 2.3.43 versions on cygwin 1.5.25
+ allow building an OpenLDAP enabled libcurl supporting back to Windows 95.
+
+ Removed the non-functional CURL_LDAP_HYBRID code and references.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 June 2010)
+- Jason McDonald posted bug report #3006786 when he found that the SFTP code
+ didn't timeout properly in several places in the code even if a timeout was
+ set properly.
+
+ Based on his suggested patch, I wrote a different implementation that I
+ think addressed the issue better and also uses the connect timeout for the
+ initial part of the SSH/SFTP done during the "protocol connect" phase.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3006786)
+
+Yang Tse (2 June 2010)
+- Added missing new libcurl files to non-configure targets. Adjusted
+ libcurl standard internal header inclusions in new files. Fixed an
+ SPNEGO related memory leak. Fixed several LDAP related compilation
+ issues, and fixed some compiler warnings.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2010)
+- Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and using
+ timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with libcurl's use of
+ GetTickCount() interally to figure out the current time, while Igor's own
+ application code used another function call.
+
+ It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit _before_ libcurl
+ would consider the timeout to trigger, and that could easily lead to
+ timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems GetTickCount() in general often has
+ no better resolution than 16ms and switching to the alternative function
+ QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:
+ http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106
+
+ We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers that already
+ has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for treatment. I'm confident
+ that there are other implementations and operating systems with similarly in
+ accurate timer functions so it makes sense to have applied generically and I
+ don't believe we sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these
+ timeouts.
+
+Kamil Dudka (27 May 2010)
+- added a new test for CRL support (test313)
+
+- Tor Arntsen changed the alternative definition of bool to use enum instead
+ of unsigned char.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2010)
+- Julien Chaffraix fixed the warning seen when compiling lib/rtmp.c: one
+ unused variables, several unused arguments and some missing #include.
+
+- Julien Chaffraix fixed 2 OOM errors: a missing NULL-check in
+ lib/http_negociate.c and a potential NULL dereferencing in lib/splay.c
+
+- Howard Chu brought a patch that makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and
+ in general being a better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version
+ is detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used instead of the
+ old cruft.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 May 2010)
+- Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the correct timeout
+ option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th 2010) it became obvious that
+ libcurl used invalid timeout values (300 by default while the RFC allows
+ nothing above 255). While of course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked
+ thus far without being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
+ wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep it (but
+ fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier (future) customization
+ of the timeout.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3003705)
+
+- Douglas Kilpatrick filed bug report #3004787 and pointed out that the TFTP
+ code didn't handle block id wraps correctly. His suggested fix inspired the
+ fix I committed.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3004787)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 May 2010)
+- Tanguy Fautre brought a fix to allow curl to build with Microsoft VC10.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (18 May 2010)
+- Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the libcurl TFTP
+ code was not sending the timeout option properly to the server, and
+ suggested a fix.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3003005)
+
+Kamil Dudka (16 May 2010)
+- Pavel Raiskup introduced a new option CURLOPT_FNMATCH_DATA in order to pass
+ a custom data pointer to the callback specified by CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (14 May 2010)
+- John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with an
+ associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine when the multi
+ interface is used:
+
+ Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using select or
+ epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears that the cause is the
+ fix for bug #2958179, which makes ossl_connect_common unconditionally return
+ from the step 2 loop when fetching from a multi handle.
+
+ When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates connssl->connecting_state
+ to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common will then return to the caller, as a
+ multi handle is in use. Eventually, the client code will call
+ curl_multi_fdset to obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
+ requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
+ https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the connecting_state is
+ ssl_connect_2_reading or ssl_connect_2_writing. Therefore, the client will
+ never obtain a valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting
+ in a hang.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3000052)
+
+- Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with redirect
+ following. It showed that when curl followed redirects it didn't properly
+ ignore the response body of the 30X response if that response was using
+ compressed Content-Encoding!
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3000056)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 May 2010)
+- Howard Chu brought support for RTMP. This is powered by the underlying
+ librtmp library. It supports a range of variations and "sub-protocols"
+ within the RTMP family.
+
+- Pavel Raiskup brought support for FTP directory wildcard matching to allow
+ selective downloading. To provide that, a set of new options were added:
+
+ CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH
+ CURLOPT_CHUNK_BGN_FUNCTION
+ CURLOPT_CHUNK_END_FUNCTION
+ CURLOPT_CHUNK_DATA
+ CURLOPT_FNMATCH_FUNCTION
+
+ There were also a set of new tests added (574 - 577) to verify this.
+
+Kamil Dudka (11 May 2010)
+- CRL support in libcurl-NSS has been completely broken. Now it works. Original
+ bug report: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/581926
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2010)
+- Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi interface,
+ there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store connect time correctly as
+ it used to (and is documented to) do.
+
+ Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up test case
+ 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show itself using the local
+ test suite though.
+
+ The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as it adds yet
+ another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the TIMER_CONNECT time.
+ That situation is subject for some closer inspection in the future.
+
+- Howard Chu split the I/O handling functions into private handlers.
+
+ Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly moves out the
+ sending and recving of data to the parts of the code that are properly
+ responsible for the various ways of doing so.
+
+ Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some minor
+ flaws in the original patch.
+
+ Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less with the
+ "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more consistently.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2010)
+- Hoi-Ho Chan introduced support for using the PolarSSL library. You control
+ this with the new configure option --with-polarssl.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2010)
+- Ben Greear made telnet a lot better/easier to use by an application:
+
+ The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods, when they are
+ specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION. All calls to fflush(stdout) in
+ telnet.c were removed, which makes using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful
+ since prompts and other data are not always returned to the user promptly.
+ Use 'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead. In general, the user
+ should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush for interactive use.
+
+ Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
+ Old code could crash in that case.
+
+ Call progress functions in telnet main loop.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2010)
+- Make use of the libssh2_init/exit functions that libssh2 added in version
+ 1.2.5. Using them will improve how libcurl works in threaded situations when
+ SCP and SFTP are transfered.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Apr 2010)
+- Based on work by Kamil Dudka, I've introduced the new configure option
+ --enable-threaded-resolver. When used, the configure script will check for
+ pthreads and if around, it will build libcurl to use pthreads to do name
+ resolving in a threaded manner. Note that this is just a fix to offer an
+ option that can enable the code that already included. The threader resolver
+ code was mostly added on Jan 26 2010.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2010)
+- Alex Bligh introduced the --proto and -proto-redir options that limit what
+ protocols curl accepts for the requests and when following redirects.
+
+Kamil Dudka (24 Apr 2010)
+- Fixed test536 in order to not fail with threaded DNS resolver and tweaked
+ comments in certain examples using curl_multi_fdset().
+
+- Fixed SSL handshake timeout underflow in libcurl-NSS, which caused test405
+ to hang on a slow machine.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 Apr 2010)
+- The -O option caused curl to crash on windows and DOS due to the tool
+ writing out of boundary memory.
+
+Yang Tse (20 Apr 2010)
+- Ruslan Gazizov detected that MSVC makefiles were using wsock32.lib instead
+ of ws2_32.lib, this generated linking issues on MSVC IPv6 enabled builds
+ that were done using those makefiles.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Apr 2010)
+- -J/--remote-header-name didn't strip trailing carriage returns or linefeeds
+ properly, so they could be used in the file name.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Apr 2010)
+- Jerome Vouillon made the GnuTLS SSL handshake phase non-blocking.
+
+- The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made the GnuTLS specific code
+ treat a zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this caused
+ our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer code to detect if
+ an EOF is a problem or not.
+
+- I reverted the resolver fix from yesterday and instead removed all uses of
+ AI_CANONNAME all over libcurl and made the only user of that info (krb5.c)
+ use the host name from the URL instead. No reverse resolving is a good
+ thing.
+
+- Paul Howarth made configure properly detect GSS "on ancient Linux distros"
+ by editing in which order we use headers to detect GSS.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Apr 2010)
+- Rainer Canavan filed bug report #2987196 that identified libcurl doing
+ unnecesary reverse name lookups in many cases when built to use IPv4 and
+ getaddrinfo(). The logic for IPv6 is now used for IPv4 too.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
+
+Version 7.20.1 (14 April 2010)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Apr 2010)
+- Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only worked for the
+ postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case 227 has been extended to
+ verify.
+
+Kamil Dudka (4 Apr 2010)
+- Eliminated a race condition in Curl_resolv_timeout().
+
+- Refactorized interface of Curl_ssl_recv()/Curl_ssl_send().
+
+- libcurl-NSS now provides more accurate messages and error codes in case of
+ client certificate problem. Either during connection, or transfer phase.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2010)
+- Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the code
+ treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as EAGAIN while in
+ reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in SFTP transfers from a
+ MessageWay server.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear: If you pass a URL to pop3 that does not contain a message ID as
+ part of the URL, it would previously ask for 'INBOX' which just causes the
+ pop3 server to return an error.
+
+ Now libcurl treats en empty message ID as a request for LIST (list of pop3
+ message IDs). User's code could then parse this and download individual
+ messages as desired.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear brought a patch that from now on allows all protocols to specify
+ name and user within the URL, in the same manner HTTP and FTP have been
+ allowed to in the past - although far from all of the libcurl supported
+ protocls actually have that feature in their URL definition spec.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear brought code that makes the rate limiting code for the easy
+ interface a bit smoother as it introduces sub-second sleeps during it and it
+ also takes the buffer sizes into account.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Mar 2010)
+- Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will read new HTTP
+ response data from a socket, then check if it's a timeout if one is set. If
+ the last packet received constitutes the end of the response body, libcurl
+ still treats it as a timeout condition and reports a message like:
+
+ "Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876 bytes
+ received"
+
+ It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T receive the end
+ of the response body yet.
+
+- Christopher Conroy fixed a problem with RTSP and GET_PARAMETER reported
+ to us by Massimo Callegari. There's a new test case 572 that verifies this
+ now.
+
+- The 'ares' subtree has been removed from the source repository. It was
+ always a separate project that sort of piggybacked on the curl project since
+ the dawn of times and now the time has come for it to go stand on its own
+ legs and continue living its own life. All details on c-ares and its new
+ source code repository is found at http://c-ares.haxx.se/
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Mar 2010)
+- Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a problem he
+ experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over a proxy using
+ PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect fine but bits.tcpconnect
+ was not set correct so libcurl didn't work properly.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2963679)
+
+- Akos Pasztory filed debian bug report #572276
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572276 mentioning a problem
+ with a resource that returns chunked-encoded _and_ with a Content-Length
+ and libcurl failed to properly ignore the latter information.
+
+- Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi interface crash.
+ His example simply used the multi interface and did first one FTP transfer
+ and after completion it used a second easy handle and did another FTP
+ transfer on the same FTP server.
+
+ This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system that curl
+ uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep an easy handle
+ around internally - only for the purpose of having an easy handle when it
+ later disconnects it. The code assumed that when the easy handle was removed
+ and an internal reference was made, that version could be killed later on
+ when a new easy handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as
+ Hauke's example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real until
+ later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (22 Mar 2010)
+- Thomas Lopatic fixed the alarm()-based DNS timeout:
+
+ Looking at the code of Curl_resolv_timeout() in hostip.c, I think that in
+ case of a timeout, the signal handler for SIGALRM never gets removed. I
+ think that in my case it gets executed at some point later on when execution
+ has long left Curl_resolv_timeout() or even the cURL library.
+
+ The code that is jumped to with siglongjmp() simply sets the error message
+ to "name lookup timed out" and then returns with CURLRESOLV_ERROR. I guess
+ that instead of simply returning without cleaning up, the code should have a
+ goto that jumps to the spot right after the call to Curl_resolv().
+
+Kamil Dudka (22 Mar 2010)
+- Douglas Steinwand contributed a patch fixing insufficient initialization in
+ Curl_clone_ssl_config()
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear improved TFTP: the error code returning and the treatment
+ of TSIZE == 0 when uploading.
+
+- We've switched from CVS to git. See http://curl.haxx.se/source.html
+
+Kamil Dudka (19 Mar 2010)
+- Improved Curl_read() to not ignore the error returned from Curl_ssl_recv().
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Mar 2010)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis brought a patch:
+
+ The problem mentioned on Dec 10 2009
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220) was only partially fixed.
+ Partially because an easy handle can be associated with many connections in
+ the cache (e.g. if there is a redirect during the lifetime of the easy
+ handle). The previous patch only cleaned up the first one. The new fix now
+ removes the easy handle from all connections, not just the first one.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (6 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear brought a patch that fixed the rate limiting logic for TFTP when
+ the easy interface was used.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 Mar 2010)
+- Daniel Johnson provided fixes for building curl with the clang compiler.
+
+Yang Tse (5 Mar 2010)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis detected and fixed a double free in builds done
+ with threaded resolver enabled (Windows default configuration) that would
+ get triggered when a curl handle is closed while doing DNS resolution.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Mar 2010)
+- [Daniel Johnson] I've been trying to build libcurl with clang on Darwin and
+ ran into some issues with the GSSAPI tests in configure.ac. The tests first
+ try to determine the include dirs and libs and set CPPFLAGS and LIBS
+ accordingly. It then checks for the headers and finally sets LIBS a second
+ time, causing the libs to be included twice. The first setting of LIBS seems
+ redundant and should be left out, since the first part is otherwise just
+ about finding headers.
+
+ My second issue is that 'krb5-config --libs gssapi' on Darwin is less than
+ useless and returns junk that, while it happens to work with gcc, causes
+ clang to choke. For example, --libs returns $CFLAGS along with the libs,
+ which is really retarded. Simply setting 'LIBS="$LIBS -lgssapi_krb5
+ -lresolv"' on Darwin is sufficient.
+
+- Based on patch provided by Jacob Moshenko, the transfer logic now properly
+ makes sure that when using sub-second timeouts, there's no final bad 1000ms
+ wait. Previously, a sub-second timeout would often make the elapsed time end
+ up the time rounded up to the nearest second (e.g. 1s for 200ms timeout)
+
+- Andrei Benea filed bug report #2956698 and pointed out that the
+ CURLOPT_CERTINFO feature leaked memory due to a missing OpenSSL function
+ call. He provided the patch to fix it too.
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956698
+
+- Markus Duft pointed out in bug #2961796 that even though Interix has a
+ poll() function it doesn't quite work the way we want it so we must disable
+ it, and he also provided a patch for it.
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2961796
+
+- Made the pingpong timeout code properly deal with the response timeout AND
+ the global timeout if set. Also, as was reported in the bug report #2956437
+ by Ryan Chan, the time stamp to use as basis for the per command timeout was
+ not set properly in the DONE phase for FTP (and not for SMTP) so I fixed
+ that just now. This was a regression compared to 7.19.7 due to the
+ conversion of FTP code over to the generic pingpong concepts.
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2956437
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Mar 2010)
+- Ben Greear provided an update for TFTP that fixes upload.
+
+- Wesley Miaw reported bug #2958179 which identified a case of looping during
+ OpenSSL based SSL handshaking even though the multi interface was used and
+ there was no good reason for it.
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958179
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Feb 2010)
+- Pat Ray in bug #2958474 pointed out an off-by-one case when receiving a
+ chunked-encoding trailer.
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958474
+
+Daniel Fandrich (25 Feb 2010)
+- Fixed a couple of out of memory leaks and a segfault in the SMTP & IMAP code.
+
+Yang Tse (25 Feb 2010)
+- I fixed bug report #2958074 indicating
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2958074) that curl on Windows with
+ option --trace-time did not use local time when timestamping trace lines.
+ This could also happen on other systems depending on time souurce.
+
+Patrick Monnerat (22 Feb 2010)
+- Proper handling of STARTTLS on SMTP, taking CURLUSESSL_TRY into account.
+- SMTP falls back to RFC821 HELO when EHLO fails (and SSL is not required).
+- Use of true local host name (i.e.: via gethostname()) when available, as
+ default argument to SMTP HELO/EHLO.
+- Test case 804 for HELO fallback.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2010)
+- Fixed the SMTP compliance by making sure RCPT TO addresses are specified
+ properly in angle brackets. Recipients provided with CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT now
+ get angle bracket wrapping automatically by libcurl unless the recipient
+ starts with an angle bracket as then the app is assumed to deal with that
+ properly on its own.
+
+- I made the SMTP code expect a 250 response back from the server after the
+ full DATA has been sent, and I modified the test SMTP server to also send
+ that response. As usual, the DONE operation that is made after a completed
+ transfer is still not doable in a non-blocking way so this waiting for 250
+ is unfortunately made blockingly.
+
+Yang Tse (14 Feb 2010)
+- Overhauled test suite getpart() function. Fixing potential out of bounds
+ stack and memory overwrites triggered with huge test case definitions.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 Feb 2010)
+- Martin Hager reported and fixed a problem with a missing quote in libcurl.m4
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951319)
+
+- Tom Donovan fixed the CURL_FORMAT_* defines when building with cmake.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2951269)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Feb 2010)
+- Jack Zhang reported a problem with SMTP: we wrongly used multiple addresses
+ in the same RCPT TO line, when they should be sent in separate single
+ commands. I updated test case 802 to verify this.
+
+- I also fixed a bad use of my_setopt_str() of CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT in the curl
+ tool which made it try to output it as string for the --libcurl feature
+ which could lead to crashes.
+
+Yang Tse (11 Feb 2010)
+- Steven M. Schweda fixed VMS builder bad behavior when used in a batch job,
+ removed obsolete batch_compile.com and defines.com and updated VMS readme.
+
+Version 7.20.0 (9 February 2010)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Feb 2010)
+- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app asked libcurl to
+ automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could
+ wrongly provide the callback with more data than the maximum documented
+ amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum
+ limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented).
+
+ This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory
+ 20100209 at
+
+ http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 Feb 2010)
+- Changed the Watcom makefiles to make them easier to keep in sync with
+ Makefile.inc since that can't be included directly.
+
+Yang Tse (2 Feb 2010)
+- Symbol CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T now obsoleted, will be removed in a future release,
+ symbol will not be available when building with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined. Use
+ of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T is preferred since 7.19.0
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Feb 2010)
+- Using the multi_socket API, it turns out at times it seemed to "forget"
+ connections (which caused a hang). It turned out to be an existing (7.19.7)
+ bug in libcurl (that's been around for a long time) and it happened like
+ this:
+
+ The app calls curl_multi_add_handle() to add a new easy handle, libcurl will
+ then set it to timeout in 1 millisecond so libcurl will tell the app about
+ it.
+
+ The app's timeout fires off that there's a timeout, the app calls libcurl as
+ we so often document it:
+
+ do {
+ res = curl_multi_socket_action(... TIMEOUT ...);
+ } while(CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM == res);
+
+ And this is the problem number one:
+
+ When curl_multi_socket_action() is called with no specific handle, but only
+ a timeout-action, it will *only* perform actions within libcurl that are
+ marked to run at this time. In this case, the request would go from INIT to
+ CONNECT and return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM. When the app then calls libcurl
+ again, there's no timer set for this handle so it remains in the CONNECT
+ state. The CONNECT state is a transitional state in libcurl so it reports no
+ sockets there, and thus libcurl never tells the app anything more about that
+ easy handle/connection.
+
+ libcurl _does_ set a 1ms timeout for the handle at the end of
+ multi_runsingle() if it returns CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM, but since the loop
+ is instant the new job is not ready to run at that point (and there's no
+ code that makes libcurl call the app to update the timout for this new
+ timeout). It will simply rely on that some other timeout will trigger later
+ on or that something else will update the timeout callback. This makes the
+ bug fairly hard to repeat.
+
+ The fix made to adress this issue:
+
+ We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() and
+ simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
+ benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
+ CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
+
+ The downside of this fix, is that the counter we return in 'running_handles'
+ in several of our public functions then gets a slightly new and possibly
+ confusing behavior during times:
+
+ If an app adds a handle that fails to connect (very quickly) it may just
+ as well never appear as a 'running_handle' with this fix. Previously it
+ would first bump the counter only to get it decreased again at next call.
+ Even I have used that change in handle counter to signal "end of a
+ transfer". The only *good* way to find the end of a individual transfer
+ is calling curl_multi_info_read() to see if it returns one.
+
+ Of course, if the app previously did the looping before it checked the
+ counter, it really shouldn't be any new effect.

+- Constantine Sapuntzakis' and Joshua Kwan's work done in the last four months
+ relative to the asynchronous DNS lookups, along with with some integration
+ adjustments I have done are finally committed to CVS.
+
+ Currently these enhancements will benefit builds done using c-ares on any
+ platform as well as Windows builds using the default threaded resolver.
+
+ This release does not make generally available POSIX threaded DNS lookups
+ yet. There is no configure option to enable this feature yet. It is possible
+ to experimantally try this feature running configure with compiler flags that
+ make simultaneous definition of preprocessor symbols USE_THREADS_POSIX and
+ HAVE_PTHREAD_H, as well as whatever reentrancy compiler flags and linker ones
+ are required to link and properly use pthread_* functions on each platform.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2010)
+- Mike Crowe made libcurl return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY when it is the
+ proxy that cannot be resolved when using c-ares. This matches the behaviour
+ when not using c-ares.
+
+Björn Stenberg (23 Jan 2010)
+- Added a new flag: -J/--remote-header-name. This option tells the
+ -O/--remote-name option to use the server-specified Content-Disposition
+ filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 Jan 2010)
+- Chris Conroy brought support for RTSP transfers, and with it comes 8(!) new
+ libcurl options for controlling what to get and how to receive posssibly
+ interleaved RTP data.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2010)
+- As was pointed out on the http-state mailing list, the order of cookies in a
+ HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases
+ where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using
+ (overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be
+ sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care
+ of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort
+ all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do
+ this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area.
+
+ Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it
+ accordingly.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Jan 2010)
+- David McCreedy brought a fix and a new test case (129) to make libcurl work
+ again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the
+ final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server
+ reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline
+ conversions into account.
+
+Kamil Dudka (14 Jan 2010)
+- Suppressed side effect of OpenSSL configure checks, which prevented NSS from
+ being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
+ strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
+ distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2010)
+- Gil Weber reported a peculiar flaw with the multi interface when doing SFTP
+ transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file
+ descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out
+ to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me
+ nail this.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2010)
+- Made sure that the progress callback is repeatedly called at a regular
+ interval even during very slow connects.
+
+- The tests/runtests.pl script now checks to see if the test case that runs is
+ present in the tests/data/Makefile.am and outputs a notice message on the
+ screen if not. Each test file has to be included in that Makefile.am to get
+ included in release archives and forgetting to add files there is a common
+ mistake. This is an attempt to make it harder to forget.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Jan 2010)
+- Johan van Selst found and fixed a OpenSSL session ref count leak:
+
+ ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on
+ each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be
+ incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by
+ Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed
+ if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the
+ reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling
+ SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid
+ introducing a memory leak.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2926284)

+Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2010)
+- Make sure the progress callback is called repeatedly even during very slow
+ name resolves when c-ares is used for resolving.
+
+Claes Jakobsson (6 Jan 2010)
+- Julien Chaffraix fixed so that the fragment part in an URL is not sent
+ to the server anymore.
+
+Kamil Dudka (3 Jan 2010)
+- Julien Chaffraix eliminated a duplicated initialization in singlesocket().
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Jan 2010)
+- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specific
+ versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
+ control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
+ option names are still working but the new ones are the ones listed and
+ documented.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2010)
+- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. This
+ command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
+ a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
+ seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
+ it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
+ usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
+ that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
+
+ I added test cases 1107 and 1108 to verify the functionality.
+
+ The PRET command is documented at
+ http://www.drftpd.org/index.php/Distributed_PASV
+
+Yang Tse (30 Dec 2009)
+- Steven M. Schweda improved VMS build system, and Craig A. Berry helped
+ with the patch and testing.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Dec 2009)
+- Renato Botelho and Peter Pentchev brought a patch that makes the libcurl
+ headers work correctly even on FreeBSD systems before v8.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2916915)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2009)
+- David Byron fixed Curl_ossl_cleanup to actually call ENGINE_cleanup when
+ available.
+
+- Follow-up fix for the proxy fix I did for Jon Nelson's bug. It turned out I
+ was a bit too quick and broke test case 1101 with that change. The order of
+ some of the setups is sensitive. I now changed it slightly again to make
+ sure we do them in this order:
+
+ 1 - parse URL and figure out what protocol is used in the URL
+ 2 - prepend protocol:// to URL if missing
+ 3 - parse name+password off URL, which needs to know what protocol is used
+ (since only some allows for name+password in the URL)
+ 4 - figure out if a proxy should be used set by an option
+ 5 - if no proxy option, check proxy environment variables
+ 6 - run the protocol-specific setup function, which needs to have the proxy
+ already set
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Dec 2009)
+- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurl
+ detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy
+ was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
+ mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up
+ from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added
+ test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2913886)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2009)
+- IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support and their TLS versions (including IMAPS, POP3S
+ and SMTPS) are now supported. The current state may not yet be solid, but
+ the foundation is in place and the test suite has some initial support for
+ these protocols. Work will now persue to make them nice libcurl citizens
+ until release.
+
+ The work with supporting these new protocols was sponsored by
+ networking4all.com - thanks!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 Dec 2009)
+- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retry
+ on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
+ 4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
+ Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
+ 4xx response.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
+
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis figured out a case which would lead to libcurl
+ accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with
+ OpenSSL), multi interface and the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and a certain order
+ of cleaning things up. I fixed it.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 Dec 2009)
+- Martin Storsjo made libcurl use the Expect: 100-continue header for posts
+ with unknown size. Previously it was only used for posts with a known size
+ larger than 1024 bytes.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Dec 2009)
+- If the Expect: 100-continue header has been set by the application through
+ curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set
+ data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at
+ least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
+
+Yang Tse (28 Nov 2009)
+- Added Diffie-Hellman parameters to several test harness certificate files in
+ PEM format. Required by several stunnel versions used by our test harness.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Nov 2009)
+- Markus Koetter provided a polished and updated version of Chad Monroe's TFTP
+ rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can
+ be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works.
+
+ The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from
+ the command line.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Nov 2009)
+- Extended and fixed the change I did on Dec 11 for the the progress
+ meter/callback during FTP command/response sequences. It turned out it was
+ really lame before and now the progress meter SHOULD get called at least
+ once per second.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Nov 2009)
+- Bjorn Augustsson reported a bug which made curl not report any problems even
+ though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single
+ fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but
+ there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked
+ curl to believe things were fine.
+
+Yang Tse (23 Nov 2009)
+- David Byron modified Makefile.dist vc8 and vc9 targets in order to allow
+ finer granularity control when generating src and lib makefiles.
+
+Yang Tse (22 Nov 2009)
+- I modified configure to force removal of the curlbuild.h file included in
+ distribution tarballs for use by non-configure systems. As intended, this
+ would get overwriten when doing in-tree builds. But VPATH builds would end
+ having two curlbuild.h files, one in the source tree and another in the
+ build tree. With the modification I introduced 5 Nov 2009 this could become
+ an issue when running libcurl's test suite.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Nov 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets were
+ closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its
+ socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
+
+- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection had
+ CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the
+ same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that
+ previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
+
+Yang Tse (18 Nov 2009)
+- I modified the memory tracking system to make it intolerant with zero sized
+ malloc(), calloc() and realloc() function calls.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 Nov 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that could
+ end up with entries that wouldn't time-out:
+
+ 1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port
+ that's down
+ 2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi
+
+ After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging
+ around with in_use != 0.
+
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
+
+- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure into
+ its pkg-config file. So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really
+ bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in
+ PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
+
+Kamil Dudka (15 Nov 2009)
+- David Byron improved the configure script to use pkg-config to find OpenSSL
+ (and in particular the list of required libraries) even if a path is given
+ as argument to --with-ssl
+
+Yang Tse (15 Nov 2009)
+- I removed enable-thread / disable-thread configure option. These were only
+ placebo options. The library is always built as thread safe as possible on
+ every system.
+
+Claes Jakobsson (14 Nov 2009)
+- curl-config now accepts '--configure' to see what arguments was
+ passed to the configure script when building curl.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (14 Nov 2009)
+- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS when
+ --with-nss is set but not "yes".
+
+ I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc,
+ but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
+
+- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for
+ the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines
+ can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key
+ and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
+
+Yang Tse (14 Nov 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connection
+ won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
+
+ I refactored how preprocessor symbol _THREAD_SAFE definition is done.
+
+Kamil Dudka (12 Nov 2009)
+- Kevin Baughman provided a fix preventing libcurl-NSS from crash on doubly
+ closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times
+ before and always closed unresolved. More info at the RH bug:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/534176
+
+- libcurl-NSS now tries to reconnect with TLS disabled in case it detects
+ a broken TLS server. However it does not happen if SSL version is selected
+ manually. The approach was originally taken from PSM. Kaspar Brand helped me
+ to complete the patch. Original bug reports:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/525496

+- I modified configure script to make the getaddrinfo function check also
+ verify if the function is thread safe.
+
+Yang Tse (11 Nov 2009)
+- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapi
+ and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in
+ the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry
+ in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in
+ use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of
+ still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
+
+- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properly
+ used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while
+ it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so
+ that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
+
+Kamil Dudka (5 Nov 2009)
+- Dropped misleading timeouts in libcurl-NSS and made sure the SSL socket works
+ in non-blocking mode.
+
+Yang Tse (5 Nov 2009)
+- I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in
+ curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to
+ OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2009)
+- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the
+ wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could
+ easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any
+ percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring
+ less than 100 bytes.

+Version 7.19.7 (4 November 2009)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2009)
+- As reported independent by both Stan van de Burgt and Didier Brisebourg,
+ CURLINFO_SIZE_DOWNLOAD (the -w variable size_download) didn't work when
+ getting data from ldap!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (31 Oct 2009)
+- Gabriel Kuri reported a problem with CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD if the
+ download was 0 bytes, as libcurl would then return the size as unknown (-1)
+ and not 0. I wrote a fix and test case 566 to verify it.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Oct 2009)
+- Liza Alenchery mentioned a problem with re-used SCP connection when a bad
+ auth is used, as it caused a crash. I failed to repeat the issue, but still
+ made a change that now forces the TCP connection used for a freed SCP
+ session to get closed and not be re-used.
+
+- "Tom" posted a bug report that mentioned how libcurl did wrong when doing a
+ POST using a read callback, with Digest authentication and
+ "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" enforced. I would then cause the first request
+ to be wrongly sent and then basically hang until the server closed the
+ connection. I fixed the problem and added test case 565 to verify it.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Oct 2009)
+- Dima Barsky made the curl cookie parser accept cookies even with blank or
+ unparsable expiry dates and then treat them as session cookies - previously
+ libcurl would reject cookies with a date format it couldn't parse. Research
+ shows that the major browser treat such cookies as session cookies. I
+ modified test 8 and 31 to verify this.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 Oct 2009)
+- Attempt to use pkg-config for finding out libssh2 installation details
+ during configure.
+
+- A patch in bug report #2883177 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2883177)
+ by Johan van Selst introduced the --crlfile option to curl, which makes curl
+ tell libcurl about a file with CRL (certificate revocation list) data to
+ read.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (18 Oct 2009)
+- Ray Dassen provided a patch in Debian's bug tracker (bug number #551461)
+ that now makes curl_getdate(3) actually handles RFC 822 formatted dates that
+ use the "single letter military timezones".
+ http://www.rfc-ref.org/RFC-TEXTS/822/chapter5.html has the details.
+
+- Fixed memory leak in the SCP/SFTP code as it never freed the knownhosts
+ data!
+
+- John Dennis filed bug report #2873666
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2873666) which identified a problem
+ which made libcurl loop infinitely when given incorrect credentials when
+ using HTTP GSS negotiate authentication. He also provided a small and simple
+ patch for it.
+
+- Kevin Baughman found a double close() problem with libcurl-NSS, as when
+ libcurl called NSS to close the SSL "session" it also closed the actual
+ socket.
+
+Yang Tse (17 Oct 2009)
+- Bug report #2866724 indicated
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2866724) that curl on Windows failed
+ when writing files whose file names originally contained characters which
+ are not valid for file names on Windows. Dan Fandrich provided an initial
+ patch and another revised one to fix this issue.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Oct 2009)
+- Tom Mueller correctly reported in bug report #2870221
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
+ incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
+ him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
+ strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
+ exactly why.
+
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis: The current implementation will always set
+ SO_SNDBUF to CURL_WRITE_SIZE even if the SO_SNDBUF starts out larger. The
+ patch doesn't do a setsockopt if SO_SNDBUF is already greater than
+ CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with
+ large send buffers.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 Sep 2009)
+- I introduced a maximum limit for received HTTP headers. It is controlled by
+ the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header
+ file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified
+ limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a
+ buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the
+ header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into
+ trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or
+ less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Sep 2009)
+- John P. McCaskey posted a bug report that showed how libcurl did wrong when
+ saving received cookies with no given path, if the path in the request had a
+ query part. That is means a question mark (?) and characters on the right
+ side of that. I wrote test case 1105 and fixed this problem.
+
+Kamil Dudka (26 Sep 2009)
+- Implemented a protocol independent way to specify blocking direction, used by
+ transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols.
+ This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload,
+ reported by Vourhey.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2009)
+- Chris Mumford filed bug report #2861587
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2861587) identifying that libcurl used
+ the OpenSSL function X509_load_crl_file() wrongly and failed if it would
+ load a CRL file with more than one certificate within. This is now fixed.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Sep 2009)
+- Sven Anders reported that we introduced a cert verfication flaw for OpenSSL-
+ powered libcurl in 7.19.6. If there was a X509v3 Subject Alternative Name
+ field in the certficate it had to match and so even if non-DNS and non-IP
+ entry was present it caused the verification to fail.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (15 Sep 2009)
+- Moved the libssh2 checks after the SSL library checks. This helps when
+ statically linking since libssh2 needs the SSL library link flags to be
+ set up already to satisfy its dependencies. This wouldn't be necessary if
+ the libssh2 configure check was changed to use pkg-config since the
+ --static flag would add the dependencies automatically.
+
+Yang Tse (14 Sep 2009)
+- Revert Joshua Kwan's patch committed 11 Sep 2009.
+
+ Some systems poll function sets POLLHUP in revents without setting
+ POLLIN, and sets POLLERR without setting POLLIN and POLLOUT. In some
+ libcurl code execution paths this could trigger busy wait loops with
+ high CPU usage until a timeout condition aborted the loop.
+
+ The reverted patch addressed the above issue for a very specific case,
+ when awaiting c-ares to resolve. A libcurl-wide fix for Curl_poll now
+ superceeds this one.
+
+Guenter Knauf (11 Sep 2009)
+- Joshua Kwan provided a patch to pass POLLERR / POLLHUP back to c-ares.
+ This fixes a loop problem with high CPU usage.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 Sep 2009)
+- Claes Jakobsson fixed a problem with cookie expiry dates at exctly the epoch
+ start second "Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 GMT 1970" as the date parser then returns 0
+ which internally then is treated as a session cookie. That particular date
+ is now made to get the value of 1.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2009)
+- Daniel Johnson found a flaw in the code converting sftp-errors to libcurl
+ errors.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Sep 2009)
+- Peter Sylvester made a debug feature for Curl_resolv() that now will force
+ libcurl to resolve 'localhost' whatever name you use in the URL *if* you set
+ the --interface option to (exactly) "LocalHost". This will enable us to
+ write tests for custom hosts names but still use a local host server.
+
+- configure now tries to use pkg-config for a number of sub-dependencies even
+ when cross-compiling. The key to success is then you properly setup
+ PKG_CONFIG_PATH before invoking configure.
+
+ I also improved how NSS is detected by trying nss-config if pkg-config isn't
+ present, and as a last resort just use the lib name and force the user to
+ setup the LIBS/LDFLAGS/CFLAGS etc properly. The previous last resort would
+ add a range of various libs that would almost never be quite correct.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (31 Aug 2009)
+- When using the multi interface with FTP and you asked for NOBODY, you did no
+ QUOTE commands and the request used the same path as the connection had
+ already changed to, it would decide that no commands would be necessary for
+ the "DO" action and that was not handled properly but libcurl would instead
+ hang.
+
+Kamil Dudka (28 Aug 2009)
+- Improved error message for not matching certificate subject name in
+ libcurl-NSS. Originally reported at:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516056#c9
+
+Patrick Monnerat (24 Aug 2009)
+- Introduced a SYST-based test to properly set-up name format when dealing

+
+- Fixed an ftp_readresp() bug preventing detection of failing control socket
+ and causing FTP client to loop forever.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Aug 2009)
+- Marc de Bruin pointed out that configure --with-gnutls=PATH didn't work
+ properly and provided a fix. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2843008
+
+- Eric Wong introduced support for the new option -T. (dot) that makes curl
+ read stdin in a non-blocking fashion. This also brings back -T- (minus) to
+ the previous blocking behavior since it could break stuff for people at
+ times.
+
+Michal Marek (21 Aug 2009)
+- With CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, avoid sending invalid URLs like
+ ftp://example.com;type=i if the user specified ftp://example.com without the
+ slash.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (21 Aug 2009)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet pointed out a missing return code check for a
+ strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his
+ suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code
+ and better check that.
+
+- Lots of good work by Krister Johansen, mostly related to pipelining:
+
+ Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks
+ Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers
+ Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL
+
+Kamil Dudka (13 Aug 2009)
+- Changed NSS code to not ignore the value of ssl.verifyhost and produce more
+ verbose error messages. Originally reported at:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=516056
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2009)
+- Karl Moerder fixed the Makefile.vc* makefiles to include the new file
+ nonblock.c so that they work fine again
+
+- I expanded test 517 with a bunch of more dates that originate from the
+ Chrome browser test suite. It turns out most of them get parsed the same
+ way.
+
+Version 7.19.6 (12 August 2009)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2009)
+- Carsten Lange reported a bug and provided a patch for TFTP upload and the
+ sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before
+ a release, but since it was broken and the patch fixes this for him I decided
+ to get it in anyway.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2009)
+- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates for
+ each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
+ verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
+ specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
+ subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
+ in test 311.
+
+- Benbuck Nason posted the bug report #2835196
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler
+ warnings when mixing ints and bools.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (10 Aug 2009)
+- Fixed a memory leak in the FTP code and an off-by-one heap buffer overflow.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Aug 2009)
+- Fixed some memory leaks in the command-line tool that caused most of the
+ torture tests to fail.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Aug 2009)
+- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. We
+ should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
+ now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
+ shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
+ Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
+ option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Aug 2009)
+- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
+ verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
+ he did at Black Hat is available here:
+ https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike
+
+ Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
+ zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
+ were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
+ if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
+ happily verify that cert for example.com.
+
+ libcurl now better uses the length of the extracted name, not using the zero
+ termination for getting the string length.
+
+ This fixing only made and needed in OpenSSL interfacing code.
+
+- Tanguy Fautre pointed out that OpenSSL's function RAND_screen() (present
+ only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we
+ agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal
+ with this situation.
+
+- Alexander Beedie provided the patch for a noproxy problem: If I have set
+ CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
+ could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 Jul 2009)
+- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and
+ CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
+ send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
+ from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
+ response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
+ chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2009)
+- Johan van Selst posted bug report #2825989
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2825989) pointing out that
+ OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm, and
+ provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() in addition
+ to the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in
+ OpenSSL 0.9.5
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2009)
+- Added CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA.
+ They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for
+ details. Note that this feature depends on a new enough libssh2 version, to
+ be supported in libssh2 1.2 and later (or current git repo at this time).
+
+Michal Marek (22 Jul 2009)
+- David Binderman found a memory and fd leak in lib/gtls.c:load_file()
+ (https://bugzilla.novell.com/523919). When looking at the code, I found that
+ also the ptr pointer can leak.
+
+Kamil Dudka (20 Jul 2009)
+- Claes Jakobsson improved the support for client certificates handling in
+ NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected
+ automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11
+ slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens.
+
+- Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader
+ module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the
+ unload fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (15 Jul 2009)
+- Added nonblock.c to the non-automake makefiles (note that the dependencies
+ in the Watcom makefiles aren't quite correct).
+
+Michal Marek (15 Jul 2009)
+- Changed the description of CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to make it clear that the
+ errno is not reset on success.
+
+Guenter Knauf (14 Jul 2009)
+- renamed generated config.h to curl_config.h to avoid any future clashes
+ with config.h from other projects.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2009)
+- Eric Wong introduced curlx_nonblock() that the curl tool now (re-)uses for
+ setting a file descriptor non-blocking. Used by the functionality Eric
+ himself brough on June 15th.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Jul 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug report #2813123
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2813123) and an a patch that fixes the
+ problem:
+
+ Url A is accessed using auth. Url A redirects to Url B (on a different
+ server0. Url B reuses a persistent connection. Url B has auth, even though
+ it's on a different server.
+
+ Note: if Url B does not reuse a persistent connection, auth is not sent.
+
+ reason:
+
+ data->state.first_host is not initialized becuase Curl_http_connect is not
+ called when a connection is reused.
+
+ Solution:
+
+ move initialization of data->state.first_host to Curl_http. No code before
+ Curl_http uses data->state.first_host anyway.
+
+Guenter Knauf (4 Jul 2009)
+- Markus Koetter provided a patch to avoid getnameinfo() usage which broke a
+ couple of both IPv4 and IPv6 autobuilds.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Jun 2009)
+- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a port
+ range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like
+ "192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
+
+- Modified the separators used for CURLOPT_CERTINFO in multi-part outputs. I
+ don't know how they got wrong in the first place, but using this output
+ format makes it possible to quite easily separate the string into an array
+ of multiple items.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (16 June 2009)
+- Added a few more compiler warning options for gcc.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Jun 2009)
+- Reuven Wachtfogel made curl -o - properly produce a binary output on windows
+ (no newline translations). Use -B/--use-ascii if you rather get the ascii
+ approach.
+
+Michal Marek (16 Jun 2009)
+- When doing non-anonymous ftp via http proxies and the password is not
+ provided in the url, add it there (squid needs this).
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009)
+- Eric Wong's patch:
+
+ This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
+ protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
+ HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a
+ request is still being read, of course.
+
+ If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
+ This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
+ (and thus sending) is paused.
+
+ This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
+ HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).
+
+Patrick Monnerat (15 Jun 2009)
+- Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random
+ number generator.
+
+Yang Tse (11 Jun 2009)
+- I adapted testcurl script to allow building test harness programs when
+ cross-compiling for a *-*-mingw* host.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2009)
+- Fabian Keil ran clang on the (lib)curl code, found a bunch of warnings and
+ contributed a range of patches to fix them.
+
+Yang Tse (10 Jun 2009)
+- I introduced configure script option --enable-curldebug which now allows
+ the decoupled enabling or disabling of the curl debug memory tracking
+ feature from the --enable-debug option which no longer controls this.
+
+ curl --version will list 'Debug' feature for debug enabled builds, and
+ will list 'TrackMemory' feature for curl debug memory tracking capable
+ builds. These features are independent and can be controlled when running
+ the configure script. When --enable-debug is given both features will be
+ enabled, unless some restriction prevents memory tracking from being used.
+
+ Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code
+ which is only compiled for debug enabled builds. And symbol CURLDEBUG is
+ used to differentiate code which is _only_ used for memory tracking.
+
+Yang Tse (9 Jun 2009)
+- Daniel Steinberg pointed out that Curl_FormInit() in formdata.c was not
+ initializing the fread callback pointer and this triggered a compiler
+ warning, also provided a friendly suggestion on how to fix it.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
+- Claes Jakobsson provided a patch for libcurl-NSS that fixed a bad refcount
+ issue with client certs that caused issues like segfaults.
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0316.html
+
+- Triggered by bug report #2798852 and the patch in there, I fixed configure
+ to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config
+ anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path
+ is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that
+ lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.
+
+Yang Tse (8 Jun 2009)
+- Igor Novoseltsev adjusted Makefile.vxworks to get sources and headers
+ included from Makefile.inc, and provided docs\INSTALL VxWorks section.
+
+- I removed buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives. This
+ file is only for CVS tree checkout builds.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
+- Eric Wong fixed --no-buffer to actually switch off output buffering. Been
+ broken since 7.19.0
+
+Bill Hoffman (6 Jun 2009)
+- Added some cmake docs and fixed socklen_t in the build.
+
+Yang Tse (5 Jun 2009)
+- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
+ in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
+ DCL compatible exit code. This fix required the enhancement described next.
+ This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
+ Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
+ and messages." And another patch for docs/examples.
+
+ I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
+ and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
+ as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
+ existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 June 2009)
+- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
+ is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
+ this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
+ libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
+ knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
+ Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
+ wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
+
+Yang Tse (4 Jun 2009)
+- Igor Novoseltsev provided patches and information, that after some
+ adjustments to better fit curl's way of doing things, have resulted
+ in the posibility of building libcurl for VxWorks.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (2 June 2009)
+- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
+ create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
+ which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
+ static config-android.h may need to be created and checked in to the
+ libcurl source tree.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2009)
+- Claes Jakobsson fixed the configure script to better find and use NSS
+ without pkg-config.
+
+Yang Tse (1 Jun 2009)
+- John E. Malmberg provided a VMS specific clean-up for curl.h, and pointed
+ out that the configure script was failing to detect the timeval struct on
+ VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due to definition
+ taking place in socket.h instead of time.h. I have adjusted configure
+ script to also include this header when checking struct timeval.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 May 2009)
+- Frank McGeough provided a small OpenSSL #include fix to make libcurl compile
+ fine with Nokia 5th edition 1.0 SDK for Symbian.
+
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet found a call to a OpenSSL function that didn't check
+ for a failure properly.
+
+- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
+ the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
+ to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.
+
+- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
+ PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2009)
+- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
+ out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
+ received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
+ such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
+ leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2009)
+- Removed some obsolete digest code that caused a valgrind error in test 551.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (20 May 2009)
+- Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip those
+ tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as
+ those configured to use OpenDNS).
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2009)
+- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entry
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing
+ a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection. Caolan
+ McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
+
+Version 7.19.5 (18 May 2009)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 May 2009)
+- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem with
+ no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a
+ user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 May 2009)
+- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompression
+ of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
+ a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
+
+- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael Cronenworth
+ at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12
+
+ If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
+ up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
+
+- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,
+ as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
+ curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
+ but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 May 2009)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wasted
+ byte in the digest code.
+
+Yang Tse (9 May 2009)
+- Removed DOS and TPF package's subdirectory Makefile.am, it was only used
+ to include some files in the distribution tarball serving no other purpose.
+ Files from the DOS and TPF subdirectories are now included in the EXTRA_DIST
+ of the Makefile in the parent subdirectory.
+
+Yang Tse (8 May 2009)
+- Changed host name literal in several tests to one under the haxx.se domain.
+
+- Renamed vc6 workspace and project files to avoid filename clash when used
+ for conversion to later VS versions.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 May 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
+ connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
+ almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
+ be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
+
+ There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
+- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads as
+ well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
+
+Yang Tse (7 May 2009)
+- Fixed an issue affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c
+ patch committed May 4.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
+- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. Problems
+ reported in the Debian package.
+
+- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with
+ libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.
+
+Yang Tse (5 May 2009)
+- Fixed the --ftp-port address of test #251 to the CLIENTIP address, and
+ reverted the change affecting test suite harness committed 4 May.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2009)
+- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did the
+ corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id
+ in case the previous re-used one is rejected.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2009)
+- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
+ libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
+ re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
+ the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
+ code needs similar fixes.
+
+Yang Tse (4 May 2009)
+- Applied David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and
+ non-ASCII platform HTTP requests" patch addressing two HTTP PUT problems:
+ 1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are
+ being translated to ASCII. 2) On all platforms the line endings of part of
+ the protocol portions are mangled from CRLF to CRCRLF if data->set.crlf or
+ data->set.prefer_ascii are set (depending on CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV).
+
+- Applied David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP
+ server and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when
+ running the FTP test server.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 May 2009)
+- Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bug
+ report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
+
+Yang Tse (2 May 2009)
+- Use a build-time configured curl_socklen_t data type instead of socklen_t.
+
+Yang Tse (1 May 2009)
+- Applied David McCreedy's patches "TPF-platform specific changes to various
+ files" and "http.c fix to Curl_proxyCONNECT for non-ASCII platforms", the
+ former with minor edits.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Apr 2009)
+- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
+
+ If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
+ "ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
+
+ I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
+ this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2009)
+- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
+ I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
+ TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
+ with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
+ re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
+ that this change fixes the reported problem.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2009)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
+ we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
+ speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
+ confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
+
+- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim
+ Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
+ pipe.
+
+ This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
+ CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
+ that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
+ libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
+ of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
+ from a stream!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2009)
+- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven
+ Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
+ interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2009)
+- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
+
+- Bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by Rainer
+ Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
+ environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
+ lower case takes precedence,
+
+Daniel Fandrich (21 Apr 2009)
+- Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.
+
+Yang Tse (21 Apr 2009)
+- Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files to
+ setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of
+ NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
+
+ Renamed libcurl's memory.h to curl_memory.h
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Apr 2009)
+- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and
+ how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The
+ conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
+ the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
+ then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that
+ works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
+
+- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for
+ OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str -
+ within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this
+ mistake happening.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 Apr 2009)
+- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP
+ proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each
+ request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
+ for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
+
+ I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
+ properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
+ think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
+ stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 Apr 2009)
+- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin
+ Storsjö pointed out how setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to 0 could be downright
+ confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
+ looked like:
+
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
+ curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
+
+ The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
+ CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
+ 0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
+ set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
+ not hit any existing users badly.
+
+- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turned
+ out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue
+ is found in Redhat's bug tracker:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612
+
+ There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.

+- Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.
+- Improved Symbian support for SSL.
+
+Yang Tse (10 Apr 2009)
+- Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all
+ the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64
+ libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
+
+Yang Tse (8 Apr 2009)
+- Removed Sun compilers preprocessor block from curlbuild.h.dist, this also
+ removes it from the curlbuild.h file originally distributed by the cURL
+ project as this file is intended for systems not capable of running the
+ configure script. For those who have been building curl out of the source
+ code curl distribution tarball provided by curl.haxx.se the change implies
+ nothing. Previous change in this area committed 2 Apr becomes irrelevant.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (6 Apr 2009)
+- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on success
+ and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal
+ errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done
+ elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes
+ whenever we can think of them...
+
+Yang Tse (2 Apr 2009)
+- Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and a
+ non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated
+ to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This
+ configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t
+ data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for
+ libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without
+ having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than
+ 64 and using the ILP32 data model.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2009)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if a
+ strdup() call failed.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (31 Mar 2009)
+- Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).
+
+Daniel Stenberg (18 Mar 2009)
+- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when
+ NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled
+ explicitly.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2009)
+- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2
+ library is found to support it.
+
+Yang Tse (12 Mar 2009)
+- Added missing Curl_read() return code checking in TELNET transfers.
+
+- Pierre Brico found and fixed TELNET transfers not being aborted upon
+ a write callback failure.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2009)
+- Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before any
+ other libcurl function.
+
+Yang Tse (11 Mar 2009)
+- Added missing TELNET timeout support for Windows builds. This issue was
+ reported by Pierre Brico.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009)
+- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:
+
+ curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
+ option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
+ data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
+ newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
+ curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
+ still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
+ data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
+ cookie engine switched on.
+
+ We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
+ put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
+ created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
+
+- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4
+ scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
+ checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
+ and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
+ fix.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Mar 2009)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the
+ allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
+
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places
+ in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
+ when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
+ other values indicate error conditions.
+
+- Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that
+ curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
+ since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
+ problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
+ features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2009)
+- Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to cover
+ more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using
+ applications.
+
+Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009)
+- Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This
+ issue was noticed by Chris Deidun.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009)
+- Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported
+ by Daniel Johnson.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
+- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
+ whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
+
+ 1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
+ returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
+ rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
+ 2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
+ all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
+ preferences as our current new connection.
+
+Version 7.19.4 (3 March 2009)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
+- David Kierznowski notified us about a security flaw
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20090303.html also known as CVE-2009-0037) in
+ which previous libcurl versions (by design) can be tricked to access an
+ arbitrary local/different file instead of a remote one when
+ CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. This flaw is now fixed in this release
+ together this the addition of two new setopt options for controlling this
+ new behavior:
+
+ o CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS controls what protocols libcurl is allowed to
+ follow to when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled. By default, this option
+ excludes the FILE and SCP protocols and thus you nee to explicitly allow
+ them in your app if you really want that behavior.
+
+ o CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS controls what protocol(s) libcurl is allowed to fetch
+ using the primary URL option. This is useful if you want to allow a user or
+ other outsiders control what URL to pass to libcurl and yet not allow all
+ protocols libcurl may have been built to support.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 Feb 2009)
+- Senthil Raja Velu reported a problem when CURLOPT_INTERFACE and
+ CURLOPT_LOCALPORT were used together (the local port bind failed), and
+ Markus Koetter provided the fix!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Feb 2009)
+- As Daniel Fandrich figured out, we must do the GnuTLS initing in the
+ curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
+ thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
+ just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
+ but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
+ elsewhere.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Feb 2009)
+- Brian J. Murrell found out that Negotiate proxy authentication didn't work.
+ It happened because the code used the struct for server-based auth all the
+ time for both proxy and server auth which of course was wrong.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
+- After a bug reported by James Cheng I've made curl_easy_getinfo() for
+ CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD return
+ -1 if the sizes aren't know. Previously these returned 0, make it impossible
+ to detect the difference between actually zero and unknown.
+
+Yang Tse (23 Feb 2009)
+- Daniel Johnson provided a shell script that will perform all the steps needed
+ to build a Mac OS X fat ppc/i386 or ppc64/x86_64 libcurl.framework
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Feb 2009)
+- I renamed everything in the windows builds files that used the name 'curllib'
+ to the proper 'libcurl' as clearly this caused confusion.
+
+Yang Tse (20 Feb 2009)
+- Do not halt compilation when using VS2008 to build a Windows 2000 target.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Feb 2009)
+- Linus Nielsen Feltzing reported and helped me repeat and fix a problem with
+ FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
+ write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
+ re-used properly.
+
+ This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
+ now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
+ necessary to get read in ftp_done().
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Feb 2009)
+- Patrik Thunstrom reported a problem and helped me repeat it. It turned out
+ libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!
+
+ We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
+ when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
+ "TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
+ libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
+ data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
+ data!
+
+Patrick Monnerat (18 Feb 2009)
+- FTP downloads (i.e.: RETR) ending with code 550 now return error
+ CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND instead of CURLE_FTP_COULDNT_RETR_FILE.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 Feb 2009)
+- Kamil Dudka made NSS-powered builds compile and run again!
+
+- A second follow-up change by Andre Guibert de Bruet to fix a related memory
+ leak like that fixed on the 14th. When zlib returns failure, we need to
+ cleanup properly before returning error.
+
+- CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS can now be set to 2 in addition to 1 for
+ plain FTP connections, and it will then allow MKD to fail once and retry the
+ CWD afterwards. This is especially useful if you're doing many simultanoes
+ connections against the same server and they all have this option enabled,
+ as then CWD may first fail but then another connection does MKD before this
+ connection and thus MKD fails but trying CWD works! The numbers can
+ (should?) now be set with the convenience enums now called
+ CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR and CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY.
+
+ Tests has proven that if you're making an application that uploads a set of
+ files to an ftp server, you will get a noticable gain in speed if you're
+ using multiple connections and this option will be then be very useful.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (14 Feb 2009)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a memory leak in the content encoding
+ code, which could happen on libz errors.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (12 Feb 2009)
+- Added support for Digest and NTLM authentication using GnuTLS.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Feb 2009)
+- CURLINFO_CONDITION_UNMET was added to allow an application to get to know if
+ the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
+ condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
+ reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2565128) filed by Jocelyn Jaubert.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (4 Feb 2009)
+- Don't add the standard /usr/lib or /usr/include paths to LDFLAGS and CPPFLAGS
+ (respectively) when --with-ssl=/usr is used (patch based on FreeBSD).
+
+- Added an explicit buffer limit check in msdosify() (patch based on FreeBSD).
+ This couldn't ever overflow in curl, but might if the code were used
+ elsewhere or under different conditions.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Feb 2009)
+- Hidemoto Nakada provided a small fix that makes it possible to get the
+ CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD size from file:// "transfers" with
+ CURLOPT_NOBODY set true.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Feb 2009)
+- Patrick Scott found a rather large memory leak when using the multi
+ interface and setting CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS to something less than the number
+ of handles you add to the multi handle. All the connections that didn't fit
+ in the cache would not be properly disconnected nor freed!
+
+- Craig A West brought us: libcurl now defaults to do CONNECT with HTTP
+ version 1.1 instead of 1.0 like before. This change also introduces the new
+ proxy type for libcurl called 'CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0' that then allows apps to
+ switch (back) to CONNECT 1.0 requests. The curl tool also got a --proxy1.0
+ option that works exactly like --proxy but sets CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0.
+
+ I updated all test cases cases that use CONNECT and I tried to do some using
+ --proxy1.0 and some updated to do CONNECT 1.1 to get both versions run.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (31 Jan 2009)
+- When building with c-ares 1.6.1 (not yet released) or later and IPv6 support
+ enabled, we can now take advantage of its brand new AF_UNSPEC support in
+ ares_gethostbyname(). This makes test case 241 finally run fine for me with
+ this setup since it now parses the "::1 ip6-localhost" line fine in my
+ /etc/hosts file!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Jan 2009)
+- Scott Cantor filed bug report #2550061
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2550061) mentioning that I failed to
+ properly make sure that the VC9 makefiles got included in the latest
+ release. I've now fixed the release script and verified it so next release
+ will hopefully include them properly!
+
+Daniel Fandrich (30 Jan 2009)
+- Fixed --disable-proxy for FTP and SOCKS. Thanks to Daniel Egger for
+ reporting.
+
+Yang Tse (29 Jan 2009)
+- Introduced curl_sspi.c and curl_sspi.h for the implementation of functions
+ Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
+ named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
+ Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
+ SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Jan 2009)
+- Markus Moeller introduced two new options to libcurl:
+ CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
+ to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
+ options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
+ these.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2009)
+- Chad Monroe provided the new CURLOPT_TFTP_BLKSIZE option that allows an app
+ to set desired block size to use for TFTP transfers instead of the default
+ 512 bytes.
+
+- The "-no_ticket" option was introduced in Openssl0.9.8j. It's a flag to
+ disable "rfc4507bis session ticket support". rfc4507bis was later turned
+ into the proper RFC5077 it seems: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5077
+
+ The enabled extension concerns the session management. I wonder how often
+ libcurl stops a connection and then resumes a TLS session. also, sending the
+ session data is some overhead. .I suggest that you just use your proposed
+ patch (which explicitly disables TICKET).
+
+ If someone writes an application with libcurl and openssl who wants to
+ enable the feature, one can do this in the SSL callback.
+
+ Sharad Gupta brought this to my attention. Peter Sylvester helped me decide
+ on the proper action.
+
+- Alexey Borzov filed bug report #2535504
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with
+ quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added
+ test case 1095 that verifies my fix.
+
+- Craig A West brought CURLOPT_NOPROXY and the corresponding --noproxy option.
+ They basically offer the same thing the NO_PROXY environment variable only
+ offered previously: list a set of host names that shall not use the proxy
+ even if one is specified.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (20 Jan 2009)
+- Call setlocale() for libtest tests to test the effects of locale-induced
+ libc changes on libcurl.
+
+- Fixed a couple more locale-dependent toupper conversions, mainly for
+ clarity. This does fix one problem that causes ;type=i FTP URLs
+ to fail in the Turkish locale when CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE is
+ used (test case 561)
+
+- Added tests 561 and 1091 through 1094 to test various combinations
+ of ;type= and ;mode= URLs that could potentially fail in the Turkish
+ locale.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2009)
+- Lisa Xu pointed out that the ssh.obj file was missing from the
+ lib/Makefile.vc6 file (and thus from the vc8 and vc9 ones too).
+
+Version 7.19.3 (19 January 2009)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Jan 2009)
+- Andrew de los Reyes fixed curlbuild.h for "generic" gcc builds on PPC, both
+ 32 bit and 64 bit.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Jan 2009)
+- Tim Ansell fixed a compiler warning in lib/cookie.c
+
+Daniel Stenberg (14 Jan 2009)
+- Grant Erickson fixed timeouts for TFTP such that specifying a
+ connect-timeout, a max-time or both options work correctly and as expected
+ by passing the correct boolean value to Curl_timeleft via the
+ 'duringconnect' parameter.
+
+ With this small change, curl TFTP now behaves as expected (and likely as
+ originally-designed):
+
+ 1) For non-existent or unreachable dotted IP addresses:
+
+ a) With no options, follows the default curl 300s timeout...
+ b) With --connect-timeout only, follows that value...
+ c) With --max-time only, follows that value...
+ d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the smaller value...
+
+ and times out with a "curl: (7) Couldn't connect to server" error.
+
+ 2) For transfers to/from a valid host:
+
+ a) With no options, follows default curl 300s timeout for the
+ first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
+ timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
+
+ b) With --connect-time only, follows that value for the
+ first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the default TFTP 3600s
+ timeout for the remainder of the transfer...
+
+ c) With --max-time only, follows that value for the first
+ XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and for the remainder of the
+ transfer...
+
+ d) With both --connect-timeout and --max-time, follows the former
+ for the first XRQ/DATA/ACK transaction and the latter for the
+ remainder of the transfer...
+
+ and times out with a "curl: (28) Timeout was reached" error as
+ appropriate.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 Jan 2009)
+- Michael Wallner fixed a NULL pointer deref when calling
+ curl_easy_setup(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, "SESS") on a CURL handle with no
+ cookies data.
+
+- Stefan Teleman brought a patch to fix the default curlbuild.h file for the
+ SunPro compilers.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2009)
+- Based on bug report #2498665 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2498665)
+ by Daniel Black, I've now added magic to the configure script that makes it
+ use pkg-config to detect gnutls details as well if the existing method
+ (using libgnutls-config) fails. While doing this, I cleaned up and unified
+ the pkg-config usage when detecting openssl and nss as well.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2009)
+- Karl Moerder brought the patch that creates vc9 Makefiles, and I made
+ 'maketgz' now use the actual makefile targets to do the VC8 and VC9
+ makefiles.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 Jan 2009)
+- Emil Romanus fixed:
+
+ When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
+ header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
+ state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
+ ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
+ bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
+ break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
+ to multistate().
+
+ How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
+ the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
+ depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
+ writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Jan 2009)
+- Unified much of the SessionHandle initialization done in Curl_open() and
+ curl_easy_reset() by creating Curl_init_userdefined(). This had the side
+ effect of fixing curl_easy_reset() so it now also resets
+ CURLOPT_FTP_FILEMETHOD and CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2009)
+- Rob Crittenden did once again provide an NSS update:
+
+ I have to jump through a few hoops now with the NSS library initialization
+ since another part of an application may have already initialized NSS by the
+ time Curl gets invoked. This patch is more careful to only shutdown the NSS
+ library if Curl did the initialization.
+
+ It also adds in a bit of code to set the default ciphers if the app that
+ call NSS_Init* did not call NSS_SetDomesticPolicy() or set specific
+ ciphers. One might argue that this lets other application developers get
+ lazy and/or they aren't using the NSS API correctly, and you'd be right.
+ But still, this will avoid terribly difficult-to-trace crashes and is
+ generally helpful.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2009)
+- 'reconf' is removed since we rather have users use 'buildconf'
+
+Daniel Stenberg (31 Dec 2008)
+- Bas Mevissen reported http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2479030 pointing
+ out that 'reconf' didn't properly point out the m4 subdirectory when running
+ aclocal.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Dec 2008)
+ - Phil Lisiecki filed bug report #2413067
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2413067) that identified a problem that
+ would cause libcurl to mark a DNS cache entry "in use" eternally if the
+ subsequence TCP connect failed. It would thus never get pruned and refreshed
+ as it should've been.
+
+ Phil provided his own patch to this problem that while it seemed to work
+ wasn't complete and thus I wrote my own fix to the problem.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Dec 2008)
+- Peter Korsgaard fixed building libcurl with "configure --with-ssl
+ --disable-verbose".
+
+- Anthony Bryan fixed more language and spelling flaws in man pages.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (22 Dec 2008)
+- Given a recent enough libssh2, libcurl can now seek/resume with SFTP even
+ on file indexes beyond 2 or 4GB.
+
+- Anthony Bryan provided a set of patches that cleaned up manual language,
+ corrected spellings and more.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Dec 2008)
+- Igor Novoseltsev fixed a bad situation for the multi_socket() API when doing
+ pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
+ handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
+ to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
+ errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Dec 2008)
+- curl_multi_timeout() could return a timeout value of 0 even though nothing
+ was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
+ than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
+ running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
+ curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
+ alreay triggered.
+
+- Using the libssh2 0.19 function libssh2_session_block_directions(), libcurl
+ now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
+ "regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
+ result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
+ speed loss.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2008)
+- SCP and SFTP with the multi interface had the same flaw: the 'DONE'
+ operation didn't complete properly if the EAGAIN equivalent was returned but
+ libcurl would simply continue with a half-completed close operation
+ performed. This ruined persistent connection re-use and cause some
+ SSH-protocol errors in general. The correction is unfortunately adding a
+ blocking function - doing it entirely non-blocking should be considered for
+ a better fix.
+
+Gisle Vanem (16 Dec 2008)
+- Added the possibility to use the Watt-32 tcp/ip stack under Windows.
+ The change simply involved adding a USE_WATT32 section in the
+ config-win32.h files (under ./lib and ./src). This section disables
+ the use of any Winsock headers.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Dec 2008)
+- libssh2_sftp_last_error() was wrongly used at some places in libcurl which
+ made libcurl sometimes not properly abort problematic SFTP transfers.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
+- More work with Igor Novoseltsev to first fix the remaining stuff for
+ removing easy handles from multi handles when the easy handle is/was within
+ a HTTP pipeline. His bug report #2351653
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351653) was also related and was
+ eventually fixed by a patch by Igor himself.
+
+Yang Tse (12 Dec 2008)
+- Patrick Monnerat fixed a build regression, introduced in 7.19.2, affecting
+ OS/400 compilations with IPv6 enabled.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2008)
+- Mark Karpeles filed bug report #2416182 titled "crash in ConnectionExists
+ when using duphandle+curl_mutli"
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2416182) which showed that
+ curl_easy_duphandle() wrongly also copied the pointer to the connection
+ cache, which was plain wrong and caused a segfault if the handle would be
+ used in a different multi handle than the handle it was duplicated from.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
+- Keshav Krity found out that libcurl failed to deal with dotted IPv6
+ addresses if they were very long (>39 letters) due to a too strict address
+ validity parser. It now accepts addresses up to 45 bytes long.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Dec 2008)
+- Internet Explorer had a broken HTTP digest authentication before v7 and
+ there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
+ Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
+ broken clients.
+
+ The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
+ text to the right of it).
+
+ libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
+ CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
+ CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
+ and proxy.
+
+ (note that there's no way to activate this with the curl tool yet)
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Dec 2008)
+- Added test cases 1089 and 1090 to test --write-out after a redirect to
+ test a report that the size didn't work, but these test cases pass.
+
+- Documented CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY as being useful only on HTTP URLs.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Dec 2008)
+- Ken Hirsch simplified how libcurl does FTPS: now it doesn't assume any
+ particular state for the control connection like it did before for implicit
+ FTPS (libcurl assumed such control connections to be encrypted while some
+ FTPS servers such as FileZilla assumes such connections to be clear
+ mode). Use the CURLOPT_USE_SSL option to set your desired level.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Dec 2008)
+- Fred Machado posted about a weird FTP problem on the curl-users list and when
+ researching it, it turned out he got a 550 response back from a SIZE command
+ and then I fell over the text in RFC3659 that says:
+
+ The presence of the 550 error response to a SIZE command MUST NOT be taken
+ by the client as an indication that the file cannot be transferred in the
+ current MODE and TYPE.
+
+ In other words: the change I did on September 30th 2008 and that has been
+ included in the last two releases were a regression and a bad idea. We MUST
+ NOT take a 550 response from SIZE as a hint that the file doesn't exist.
+
+- Christian Krause filed bug #2221237
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2221237) that identified an infinite
+ loop during GSS authentication given some specific conditions. With his
+ patience and great feedback I managed to narrow down the problem and
+ eventually fix it although I can't test any of this myself!
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 Dec 2008)
+- Fixed the getifaddrs version of Curl_if2ip to work on systems without IPv6
+ support (e.g. Minix)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Dec 2008)
+- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2351645
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
+ the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
+ progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
+
+- Pawel Kierski pointed out a mistake in the cookie code that could lead to a
+ bad fclose() after a fatal error had occured.
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2382219)
+
+Daniel Fandrich (25 Nov 2008)
+- If a HTTP request is Basic and num is already >=1000, the HTTP test
+ server adds 1 to num to get the data section to return. This allows
+ testing authentication negotiations using the Basic authentication
+ method.
+
+- Added tests 1087 and 1088 to test Basic authentication on a redirect
+ with and without --location-trusted
+
+Daniel Stenberg (24 Nov 2008)
+- Based on a patch by Vlad Grachov, libcurl now uses a new libssh2 0.19
+ function when built to support SCP and SFTP that helps the library to know
+ in which direction a particular libssh2 operation would return EAGAIN so
+ that libcurl knows what socket conditions to wait for before trying the
+ function call again. Previously (and still when using libssh2 0.18 or
+ earlier), libcurl will busy-loop in this situation when the easy interface
+ is used!
+
+Daniel Fandrich (20 Nov 2008)
+- Automatically detect OpenBSD's CA cert bundle.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Nov 2008)
+- I removed the default use of "Pragma: no-cache" from libcurl when a proxy is
+ used. It has been used since forever but it was never a good idea to use
+ unless explicitly asked for.
+
+- Josef Wolf's extension that allows a $TESTDIR/gdbinit$testnum file that when
+ you use runtests.pl -g, will be sourced by gdb to allow additional fancy or
+ whatever you see fit
+
+- Christian Krause reported and fixed a memory leak that would occur with HTTP
+ GSS/kerberos authentication (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2284386)
+
+- Andreas Wurf and Markus Koetter helped me analyze a problem that Andreas got
+ when uploading files to a single FTP server using multiple easy handle
+ handles with the multi interface. Occasionally a handle would stall in
+ mysterious ways.
+
+ The problem turned out to be a side-effect of the ConnectionExists()
+ function's eagerness to re-use a handle for HTTP pipelining so it would
+ select it even if already being in use, due to an inadequate check for its
+ chances of being used for pipelnining.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (17 Nov 2008)
+- Added more compiler warning options for gcc 4.3
+
+Yang Tse (17 Nov 2008)
+- Fix a remaining problem in the inet_pton() runtime configure check. And
+ fix internal Curl_inet_pton() failures to reject certain malformed literals.
+
+- Make configure script check if ioctl with the SIOCGIFADDR command can be
+ used, and define HAVE_IOCTL_SIOCGIFADDR if appropriate.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Nov 2008)
+- Christian Krause fixed a build failure when building with gss support
+ enabled and FTP disabled.
+
+- Added check for NULL returns from strdup() in src/main.c and lib/formdata.c
+ - reported by Jim Meyering also prevent buffer overflow on MSDOS when you do
+ for example -O on a url with a file name part longer than PATH_MAX letters
+
+- lib/nss.c fixes based on the report by Jim Meyering: I went over and added
+ checks for return codes for all calls to malloc and strdup that were
+ missing. I also changed a few malloc(13) to use arrays on the stack and a
+ few malloc(PATH_MAX) to instead use aprintf() to lower memory use.
+
+- I fixed a memory leak in Curl_nss_connect() when CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT is
+ in use.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (14 Nov 2008)
+- Added .xml as one of the few common file extensions known by the multipart
+ form generator.
+
+- Added some #ifdefs around header files and change the EAGAIN test to
+ fix compilation on Cell (reported by Jeff Curley).
+
+Yang Tse (14 Nov 2008)
+- Fixed several configure script issues affecting checks for inet_ntoa_r(),
+ inet_ntop(), inet_pton(), getifaddrs(), fcntl() and getaddrinfo().
+
+Yang Tse (13 Nov 2008)
+- Refactored configure script detection of functions used to set sockets into
+ non-blocking mode, and decouple function detection from function capability.
+
+Version 7.19.2 (13 November 2008)
+
+Michal Marek (13 Nov 2008)
+- Fixed a potential data loss in Curl_client_write() when the transfer is
+ paused.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2008)
+- Rainer Canavan filed bug #2255627
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2255627) which pointed out that a
+ program using libcurl's multi interface to download a HTTPS page with a
+ libcurl built powered by OpenSSL, would easily get silly and instead hand
+ over SSL details as data instead of the actual HTTP headers and body. This
+ happened because libcurl would consider the connection handshake done too
+ early. This problem was introduced at September 22nd 2008 with my fix of the
+ bug #2107377
+
+ The correct fix is now instead done within the GnuTLS-handling code, as both
+ the OpenSSL and the NSS code already deal with this situation in similar
+ fashion. I added test case 560 in an attempt to verify this fix, but
+ unfortunately it didn't trigger it even before this fix!
+
+Yang Tse (11 Nov 2008)
+- Related with bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535)
+ Daniel Fandrich noticed that curl_addrinfo was also missing in the build
+ process of other four non-configure platforms. Added now.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Nov 2008)
+- The getifaddrs() version of Curl_if2ip() crashed when used on a Linux
+ system with a TEQL load-balancing device configured, which doesn't
+ have an address. Thanks to Adam Sampson for spotting this (bug #2234923).
+
+Yang Tse (6 Nov 2008)
+- Merged existing IPv4 and IPv6 Curl_ip2addr functions into a single one
+ which now also takes a protocol address family argument.
+
+- Bug #2230535 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2230535) pointed out a
+ problem with MSVC 6 makefile that caused a build failure. It was noted that
+ the curl_addrinfo.obj reference was missing. I took the opportunity to sort
+ the list in which this was missing. Issue submitted by John Wilkinson.
+
+Version 7.19.1 (5 November 2008)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2008)
+- CURLINFO_FILETIME now works for file:// transfers as well
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Nov 2008)
+- Bug #2218480 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2218480) pointed out a
+ problem with my CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP fix from October 7th that caused a NULL
+ pointer read. I also took the opportunity to clean up this logic (storing of
+ the connection's IP address) somewhat as we had it stored in two different
+ places and ways previously and they are now unified.
+
+Yang Tse (3 Nov 2008)
+- Fix undersized IPv6 address internal buffer. IPv6 address strings longer
+ than 35 characters would be truncated.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Nov 2008)
+- Daniel Johnson reported and fixed:
+
+ When c-ares isn't enabled, libcurl by default calls getaddrinfo with family
+ set to PF_UNSPEC which causes getaddrinfo to return all available addresses,
+ both IPv4 and IPv6. Libcurl then tries each one until it can connect. If the
+ net connection doesn't support IPv6, libcurl can still fall back to IPv4.
+
+ However, since c-ares doesn't support PF_UNSPEC, when it's used it defaults
+ to using family=PF_INET6 and therefore only returns IPv6 addresses when AAAA
+ records are available, even if IPv4 addresses are also available. The effect
+ is that since my ISP doesn't do IPv6, libcurl can't connect at all to a site
+ that has AAAA records. It will work if I explicitly use CURL_IPRESOLVE_V4 or
+ --ipv4 with the curl tool. I discovered this when curl would fail to connect
+ to seemingly random sites. It turns out they weren't random, they were sites
+ with AAAA records.
+
+ So now libcurl defaults to PF_INET... until c-ares has been tought to offer
+ both.
+
+Yang Tse (31 Oct 2008)
+- Tests 558 and 559 are stabilized. These two tests were initially introduced
+ to aid in the location of a seg-fault which was only triggered on non-debug
+ builds done with the icc 9.1 Intel compiler. Test 558 does not trigger the
+ problem, but test 559 does trigger it. As of today, it isn't yet absolutely
+ clear if it is a compiler optimizer issue or a memory corruption one.
+
+Yang Tse (30 Oct 2008)
+- Use our Curl_addrinfo structure definition to handle address info data even
+ when a system addrinfo struct is available. Provide and use a wrapper around
+ systems getaddrinfo function, Curl_getaddrinfo_ex which returns a pointer to
+ a list of dynamically allocated Curl_addrinfo structs.
+
+ Configure will check freeaddrinfo and getaddrinfo functions and define
+ preprocessor symbols HAVE_FREEADDRINFO and HAVE_GETADDRINFO when appropriate.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (29 Oct 2008)
+- Fixed a bug that caused a few bytes of garbage to be sent after a
+ curl_easy_pause() during a chunky upload. Reported by Steve Roskowski.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (28 Oct 2008)
+- Changed the "resolve" test precheck program to verify that an IPv6 socket
+ can be created before resolving the IPv6 name. In the context of running
+ a test, it doesn't make sense to run an IPv6 test when a host is resolvable
+ but IPv6 isn't usable. This should fix failures of test 1085 on hosts with
+ library and DNS support for IPv6 but where actual use of IPv6 has been
+ administratively disabled.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (24 Oct 2008)
+- Added experimental support for zlib and OpenSSL on Symbian OS.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (21 Oct 2008)
+- Fixed some problems with SFTP range support to fix test cases 634 through
+ 637.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (17 Oct 2008)
+- Fixed a compile error reported by Albert Chin on AIX and IRIX when using
+ GTLS.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (16 Oct 2008)
+- Igor Novoseltsev added CURLOPT_PROXYUSER and CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD that then
+ make CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD sort of deprecated. The primary motive for adding
+ these new options is that they have no problems with the colon separator
+ that the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD option does.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
+- Pascal Terjan filed bug #2154627
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
+ uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
+ Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
+ strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
+ just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
+ function in libcurl (called Curl_raw_equal) for doing case insentive
+ comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
+ and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (15 Oct 2008)
+- A <precheck> command is considered to have failed if it returns a non-zero
+ return code. This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
+ whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
+ test to be skipped.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (15 Oct 2008)
+- John Wilkinson filed bug #2155496
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2155496) pointing out an error case
+ without a proper human-readable error message. When a read callback returns
+ a too large value (like when trying to return a negative number) it would
+ trigger and the generic error message then makes the proplem slightly
+ different to track down. I've added an error message for this now.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Oct 2008)
+- Fixed the --interface option to work with IPv6 connections on glibc
+ systems supporting getifaddrs(). Also fixed a problem where an IPv6
+ address could be chosen instead of an IPv4 one for --interface when it
+ involved a name lookup.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (8 Oct 2008)
+- Added tests 1082 through 1085 to test symbolic --interface parameters
+
+- Added tests 633 through 637 to test the new file range support for SFTP.
+ All but the first test cause an infinite loop or other failure and so
+ are added to DISABLED.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Oct 2008)
+- John Wilkinson filed bug #2152270
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2152270) which identified and fixed a
+ CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL memory leak and an additional wrong-doing:
+
+ Any subsequent transfer with a redirect leaks memory, eventually crashing
+ the process potentially.
+
+ Any subsequent transfer WITHOUT a redirect causes the most recent redirect
+ that DID occur on some previous transfer to still be reported.
+
+- Igor Novoseltsev filed bug #2111613
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2111613) that eventually identified a
+ flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases missed to call the
+ timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and added within the same
+ millisecond.
+
+- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to
+ curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
+ deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
+ the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
+ both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Oct 2008)
+- Changed the handling of read/write errors in Curl_perform() to allow a
+ a fresh connection to be made in such cases and the request retransmitted.
+ This should fix test case 160. Added test case 1079 in an attempt to
+ test a similar connection dropping scenario, but as a race condition, it's
+ hard to test reliably.
+
+- Created test cases 1080 and 1081 to reproduce a problem of
+ CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL leaking memory and returning incorrect results when
+ two URLs are requested. Reported by vmpdemo in bug #2152270
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 Oct 2008)
+- Fixed CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP: When libcurl created a connection to host A then
+ the app re-used the handle to do a connection to host B and then again
+ re-used the handle to host A, it would not update the info with host A's IP
+ address (due to the connection being re-used) but it would instead report
+ the info from host B.
+
+Yang Tse (7 Oct 2008)
+- Added --enable-optimize configure option to enable and disable compiler
+ optimizations to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.
+
+Yang Tse (2 Oct 2008)
+- Added --enable-warnings configure option to enable and disable strict
+ compiler warnings to allow decoupled setting from --enable-debug.
+
+ runtests.pl will now run with picky compiler warnings enabled unless
+ explicitly disabled.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (1 Oct 2008)
+- "make clean" now cleans out the docs and tests directories, too.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Sep 2008)
+- The libcurl FTP code now returns CURLE_REMOTE_FILE_NOT_FOUND error when SIZE
+ gets a 550 response back for the cases where a download (or NOBODY) is
+ wanted. It still allows a 550 as response if the SIZE is used as part of an
+ upload process (like if resuming an upload is requested and the file isn't
+ there before the upload). I also modified the FTP test server and a few test
+ cases accordingly to match this modified behavior.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
+- Daniel Egger provided a patch that allows you to disable proxy support in
+ libcurl to somewhat reduce the size of the binary. Run configure
+ --disable-proxy.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (29 Sep 2008)
+- Moved all signal-based name resolution timeout handling into a single new
+ Curl_resolv_timeout function to reduce coupling.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Sep 2008)
+- Ian Lynagh provided a patch that now makes CURLOPT_RANGE work fine for SFTP
+ downloads!
+
+- Maxim Ivanov filed bug report #2107803
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107803) "no CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL in
+ multi mode" together with a patch that fixed the problem.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Sep 2008)
+- Emanuele Bovisio submitted bug report #2126435. We fixed the HTTP Digest

+
+Daniel Fandrich (23 Sep 2008)
+- Make sure not to dereference the wrong UrlState proto union member when
+ switching from one protocol to another in a single request (e.g.
+ redirecting from HTTP to FTP as in test 1055) by resetting
+ state.expect100header before every request.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Sep 2008)
+- Introducing Jamie Lokier's function for date to epoch conversion used in the
+ date parser function. This makes our function less dependent on system-
+ provided functions and instead we do all the magic ourselves. We also no
+ longer depend on the TZ environment variable. Switching to our own converter
+ has some side-effect and they are noted here for future reference (taken
+ from a mail by mr Lokier):
+
+ time_t is not measured in seconds in the ANSI C standard - or even counted
+ uniformly - weird platforms can use other numeric representations of dates
+ in time_t - hence the difftime() function.
+
+ On POSIX time_t is measured in UTC seconds, which means not including leap
+ seconds. But it's mentioned in a few places that some old POSIX-ish
+ environments include leap seconds in their time_t counts...
+
+ I'm pretty sure [the new implementation is] correct on anything truly POSIX.
+ And it's obviously a lot less dependent on platform quirks and corner cases
+ in many ways than the mktime() version.
+
+- Rob Crittenden brought a patch to "add some locking for thread-safety to NSS
+ implementation".
+
+Daniel Stenberg (22 Sep 2008)
+- Made the SOCKS code use the new Curl_read_plain() function to fix the bug
+ Markus Moeller reported: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-09/0016.html
+
+- recv() errors other than those equal to EAGAIN now cause proper
+ CURLE_RECV_ERROR to get returned. This made test case 160 fail so I've now
+ disabled it until we can figure out another way to exercise that logic.
+
+- Michael Goffioul filed bug report #2107377 "Problem with multi + GnuTLS +
+ proxy" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2107377) that showed how a multi
+ interface using program didn't work when built with GnuTLS and a CONNECT
+ request was done over a proxy (basically test 502 over a proxy to a HTTPS
+ site). It turned out the ssl connect function would get called twice which
+ caused the second call to fail.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (22 Sep 2008)
+- Fixed test 539 to handle an out of memory condition that shows up now
+ that memdebug.h is included in the test programs.
+
+Yang Tse (20 Sep 2008)
+- Fix regression in configure script which affected OpenSSL builds on MSYS.
+
+Yang Tse (19 Sep 2008)
+- configure script now checks availability of the alarm() function.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (18 Sep 2008)
+- Don't bother to install a SIGALRM handler unless alarm() is available.
+ Also, leave the existing SIGALRM handler alone if the timeout is too small
+ to handle.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (17 Sep 2008)
+- Removed reference to curl-ca-bundle.crt in the host verification failure
+ error message.
+
+Yang Tse (17 Sep 2008)
+- Improve configure detection of gethostname(), localtime_r(), strstr(),
+ getservbyport_r(), gethostbyaddr_r() and gethostbyname_r().
+
+Yang Tse (14 Sep 2008)
+- Improve configure detection of strcasecmp(), strcasestr(), strcmpi(),
+ stricmp(), strlcat(), strncasecmp(), strncmpi() and strnicmp().
+
+Yang Tse (13 Sep 2008)
+- Disable tracking of fdopen() calls in the low-level memory leak tracking
+ code when fdopen() is not available, to avoid compiler error.
+
+Yang Tse (12 Sep 2008)
+- Further adjust detection of strerror_r() in the configure process, and
+ ensure that errno is not modified inside Curl_strerror().
+
+Yang Tse (10 Sep 2008)
+- Improve detection of gmtime_r(), strtoll(), sigaction(), strtok_r(),
+ strdup() and ftruncate() in the configure process.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Sep 2008)
+- Mike Revi discovered some swapped speed switches documented in the curl man
+ page.
+
+- Checked in some documentation and code improvements and fixes that I
+ discovered in the FreeBSD ports system.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Sep 2008)
+- Dmitry Kurochkin patched a problem: I have found bug in pipelining through
+ proxy. I have a transparent proxy. When running with http_proxy environment
+ variable not set my test completes fine (it goes through transparent
+ proxy). When I set http_proxy variable my test hangs after the first
+ downloaded is complete. Looks like the second handle never gets out from
+ WAITDO state.
+
+ The fix: It makes checkPendPipeline move 1 handler from pend pipe to send
+ pipe if pipelining is not supported by server but there are no handles in
+ send and recv pipes.
+
+- Stefan Krause pointed out that libcurl would wrongly send away cookies to
+ sites in cases where the cookie clearly has a very old expiry date. The
+ condition was simply that libcurl's date parser would fail to convert the
+ date and it would then count as a (timed-based) match. Starting now, a
+ missed date due to an unsupported date format or date range will now cause
+ the cookie to not match.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (5 Sep 2008)
+- Improved the logic that decides whether to use HTTP 1.1 features or not in a
+ request. Setting a specific version with CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION overrides
+ all other checks, but otherwise, a 1.0 request will be made if the server
+ is known to support only 1.0 because it previously responded so and the
+ connection was kept alive, or a response to a previous request on this handle
+ came back as 1.0. The latter could take place in cases like redirection or
+ authentication where several requests have to be made before the operation
+ is complete. If any one of the servers in a redirection chain supports only
+ 1.0, then remaining requests will be sent in 1.0 mode.
+
+- Detect cases where an upload must be sent chunked and the server supports
+ only HTTP 1.0 and return CURLE_UPLOAD_FAILED.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 Sep 2008)
+- Martin Drasar provided the CURLOPT_POSTREDIR patch. It renames
+ CURLOPT_POST301 (but adds a define for backwards compatibility for you who
+ don't define CURL_NO_OLDIES). This option allows you to now also change the
+ libcurl behavior for a HTTP response 302 after a POST to not use GET in the
+ subsequent request (when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled). I edited the
+ patch somewhat before commit. The curl tool got a matching --post302
+ option. Test case 1076 was added to verify this.
+
+- Introducing CURLOPT_CERTINFO and the corresponding CURLINFO_CERTINFO. By
+ enabling this feature with CURLOPT_CERTINFO for a request using SSL (HTTPS
+ or FTPS), libcurl will gather lots of server certificate info and that info
+ can then get extracted by a client after the request has completed with
+ curl_easy_getinfo()'s CURLINFO_CERTINFO option. Linus Nielsen Feltzing
+ helped me test and smoothen out this feature.
+
+ Unfortunately, this feature currently only works with libcurl built to use
+ OpenSSL.
+
+ This feature was sponsored by networking4all.com - thanks!
+
+- Dmitriy Sergeyev pointed out that curl_easy_pause() didn't unpause properly
+ during certain conditions. I also changed this code to use realloc() based
+ on Daniel Fandrich's suggestion.
+
+Guenter Knauf (4 Sep 2008)
+- MingW32 non-configure builds are now largefile feature enabled by default.
+ NetWare LIBC builds are also now largefile feature enabled by default.
+
+Yang Tse (4 Sep 2008)
+- Several fixes related with print formatting string directives.

+Daniel Fandrich (3 Sep 2008)
+- Search for the FreeBSD CA cert file /usr/local/share/certs/ca-root.crt
+
+Daniel Fandrich (2 Sep 2008)
+- Fixed an out of memory problem that caused torture test failures in tests
+ 706 and 707.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (2 Sep 2008)
+- Keith Mok added supported_protocols and supported_features to the pkg-config
+ file for libcurl, and while doing that fix he unified with curl-config.in
+ how the supported protocols and features are extracted and used, so both those
+ tools should now always be synced.
+
+Version 7.19.0 (1 September 2008)
+
+Daniel Fandrich (29 Aug 2008)
+- Added tests 1071 through 1074 to test automatic downgrading from HTTP 1.1
+ to HTTP 1.0 upon receiving a response from the HTTP server. Tests 1072
+ and 1073 are similar to test 1069 in that they involve the impossible
+ scenario of sending chunked data to a HTTP 1.0 server. All these fail
+ and are added to DISABLED.
+
+- Added test 1075 to test --anyauth with Basic authentication.

+Daniel Stenberg (29 Aug 2008)
+- When libcurl was doing a HTTP POST and the server would respond with
+ "Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
+ response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
+ would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
+ sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
+
+ Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
+ getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
+ "http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Aug 2008)
+- Dengminwen reported that libcurl would lock a (cookie) share twice (without
+ an unlock in between) for a certain case and that in fact works when using
+ regular windows mutexes but not with pthreads'! Locks should of course not
+ get locked again so this is now fixed.
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-08/0422.html
+
+- I'm abandoning the system with the web site mirrors (but keeping download
+ files bing mirrored) and thus I've changed the URL in the cookiejar header
+ to no longer use curlm.haxx.se but instead use the main site curl.haxx.se
+
+Daniel Fandrich (27 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed test case 1065 by changing the handling of CURLOPT_UPLOAD to set
+ the HTTP method to GET (or HEAD) when given a value of 0.
+
+- Added test cases 1068 and 1069 to test a simple HTTP PUT from stdin. Test
+ case 1069 fails in a similar manner to test 1065 so is added to DISABLED.
+
+Yang Tse (27 Aug 2008)
+- Fix generation of MS VC6 .dsp file to make it support compilation of either
+ dynamic (DLL) or static (LIB) libcurl libraries in debug and release modes.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (26 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed out of memory problems that caused torture test failures in tests
+ 1021 and 1067.
+
+Yang Tse (26 Aug 2008)
+- Added check and symbol definition for WIN32 file API usage in configure,
+ supporting configure's --disable-largefile option for WIN32 targets also.
+
+- Non-configure systems which do not use config-win32.h configuration file,
+ and want to use the WIN32 file API, must define USE_WIN32_LARGE_FILES or
+ USE_WIN32_SMALL_FILES as appropriate in their own configuration files.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Aug 2008)
+- Running 'make ca-firefox' in the root build dir will now run the new
+ firefox-db2pem.sh conversion script that converts a local Firefox db of ca
+ certs into PEM format, suitable for use with a OpenSSL or GnuTLS built
+ libcurl.
+
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed a bug when doing proxy CONNECT with the multi
+ interface, and the proxy would send Connection: close during the
+ authentication phase. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2069047
+
+Daniel Fandrich (22 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed a problem when --dump-header - was given with more than one URL,
+ which caused an error when the second header was dumped due to stdout
+ being closed. Added test case 1066 to verify. Also fixed a potential
+ problem where a closed file descriptor might be used for an upload
+ when more than one URL is given.
+
+Yang Tse (22 Aug 2008)
+- Improved libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions integral data type
+ size and signedness handling.
+
+- Internal adjustments to better select/differentiate when large/small file
+ support is provided using WIN32 functions directly.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (20 Aug 2008)
+- Added an edited version of Vincent Le Normand's documentation of SFTP quote
+ commands to the man pages.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Aug 2008)
+- Phil Pellouchoud pointed out that the windows version of libcurl had a
+ memory leak because it never called the OpenSSL function
+ CRYPTO_cleanup_all_ex_data() as it was supposed to. This was because of a
+ missing define in config-win32.h!
+
+Gisle Vanem (18 Aug 2008)
+- Updated lib/Makefile.Watcom with the option to use c-ares (USE_ARES=1).
+
+Yang Tse (18 Aug 2008)
+- Added test case 557 to verify libcurl's internal curl_m*printf() functions
+ formatting functionality when handling signed and unsigned longs, as well as
+ our curl_off_t data type.
+
+Yang Tse (17 Aug 2008)
+- OpenSSl enabled NetWare builds are changed to use the 'openssl' subdirectory
+ when including the OpenSSL header files. This is the recommended setting, this
+ prevents the undesired inclusion of header files with the same name as those
+ of OpenSSL but which do not belong to the OpenSSL package. The visible change
+ from previously released libcurl versions is that now OpenSSl enabled NetWare
+ builds also define USE_OPENSSL in config files, and that OpenSSL header files
+ must be located in a subdirectory named 'openssl'.
+
+Yang Tse (16 Aug 2008)
+- Library internal only C preprocessor macros FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU
+ remain in use as internal curl_off_t print formatting strings for the internal
+ *printf functions which still cannot handle print formatting string directives
+ such as "I64d", "I64u", and others available on MSVC, MinGW, Intel's ICC, and
+ other DOS/Windows compilers.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (15 Aug 2008)
+- Added test case 1063 to test invalid long file ranges with file: URLs and
+ 1064 to test multiple http PUTs.
+
+- Added test case 1065 to test a PUT with a single file but two URLs. This
+ was discovered to be problematic while investigating an incident reported by
+ Von back in May. curl in this case doesn't include a Content-Length: or
+ Transfer-Encoding: chunked header which is illegal. This test case is
+ added to DISABLED until a solution is found.
+
+Yang Tse (15 Aug 2008)
+- C preprocessor macros used internally and equally available externally which
+ aid in the use of the curl_off_t data type are named: CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T,
+ CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_SIZEOF_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T,
+ CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU, CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C.
+
+Yang Tse (13 Aug 2008)
+- The size of long is a build time characteristic and as such it is now recorded
+ in curlbuild.h as CURL_SIZEOF_LONG. Definition now done from configure process
+ and in CVS curlbuild.h.dist for non-configure systems.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (12 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed a buffer overflow problem in Curl_proxyCONNECT that could occur
+ when a server responded with long headers and data. Luckily, the buffer
+ overflowed into another unused buffer, so no actual harm was done.
+ Added test cases 1060 and 1061 to verify.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2008)
+- Andy Tsouladze fixed runtests.pl to not attempt to execute the stunnel
+ _directory_ if that happened to appear in the path!
+
+Yang Tse (12 Aug 2008)
+- Added macros for minimum-width signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer
+ constants CURL_OFF_T_C and CURL_OFF_TU_C. The clever double helper macro
+ used internally to provide its functionality is thanks to Lars Nilsson.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (11 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed a boundary condition error in ftp_readresp() whereby a non-terminal
+ line of a multiline FTP response whose last byte landed exactly at the end
+ of the BUFSIZE-length buffer would be treated as the terminal response
+ line. The following response code read in would then actually be the
+ end of the previous response line, and all responses from then on would
+ correspond to the wrong command. Test case 1062 verifies this.
+
+- Stop closing a never-opened ftp socket.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2008)
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042430
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042430) with a patch. "NTLM Windows
+ SSPI code is not thread safe". This was due to libcurl using static
+ variables to tell wether to load the necessary SSPI DLL, but now the loading
+ has been moved to the more suitable curl_global_init() call.
+
+- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2042440
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2042440) with a patch. He identified a
+ problem when using NTLM over a proxy but the end-point does Basic, and then
+ libcurl would do wrong when the host sent "Connection: close" as the proxy's
+ NTLM state was erroneously cleared.
+
+Yang Tse (11 Aug 2008)
+- Added missing signed and unsigned curl_off_t integer constant suffixes for
+ internal and external use. CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_T, CURL_SUFFIX_CURL_OFF_TU.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Aug 2008)
+- Fixed an uninitialized variable in multi_runsingle() that could cause a
+ request to prematurely end.
+
+- Added test1059 to test the FTP proxy tunnel problem fixed July 11.
+
+Yang Tse (7 Aug 2008)
+- Added curlbuild.h and curlrules.h header files to libcurl's public headers.
+ File curlbuild.h is a generated file on configure-capable systems. This is
+ a first step towards configure-based info in public headers. Currently only
+ used to provide support for a curl_off_t data type which is not gated to
+ off_t. Further details are documented inside these mentioned header files.
+
+- Fix CURL_CHECK_DEF so that when the expansion of the preprocessor symbol
+ results in a set of double-quoted strings, this macro will now return an
+ expansion which consists of a single double-quoted string as the result of
+ concatenating all of them.
+
+- Skip data type check in DO_CURL_OFF_T_CHECK macro when argument is empty.
+
+- Adjusted testcurl.pl to copy checked out curlbuild.h.dist as curlbuild.h
+ for non-configure targets when the host system doesn't run buildconf.bat.
+
+- Prevent buildconf from removing 'Makefile' and 'missing' files. This would
+ blow away our CVS checked files 'missing' and 'hiper/Makefile'.
+
+- Remove adjustment done to testcurl.pl to verify if change introduced by
+ Guenter Knauf in lib/Makefile.netware is enough to get the netware autobuilds
+ going again.
+
+Yang Tse (5 Aug 2008)
+- Changes done to buildconf script. Validate that autom4te and autoconf, as
+ well as aclocal and automake, versions match. Improve removal of previous
+ run generated files. Remove verbose debug logging of aclocal on Solaris.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 Aug 2008)
+- Yehoshua Hershberg found a problem that would make libcurl re-use a
+ connection with the multi interface even if a previous use of it caused a
+ CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION to get returned. I now make sure that failed
+ SSL connections properly close the connections.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
+- Test cases 1051, 1052 and 1055 were added by Daniel Fandrich on July 30 and
+ proved how PUT and POST with a redirect could lead to a "hang" due to the
+ data stream not being rewound properly when it had to in order to get sent
+ properly (again) to the subsequent URL. This is now fixed and these test
+ cases are no longer disabled.
+
+Yang Tse (4 Aug 2008)
+- Autoconf 2.62 has changed the behaviour of the AC_AIX macro which we use.
+ Prior versions of autoconf defined _ALL_SOURCE if _AIX was defined. 2.62
+ version of AC_AIX defines _ALL_SOURCE and other four preprocessor symbols
+ no matter if the system is AIX or not. To keep the traditional behaviour,
+ and an uniform one across autoconf versions AC_AIX is replaced with our
+ own internal macro CURL_CHECK_AIX_ALL_SOURCE.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 Aug 2008)
+- Test case 1041 (added by Daniel Fandrich July 14th) proved a bug where PUT
+ with -C - sent garbage in the Content-Range: header. I fixed this problem by
+ making sure libcurl always sets the size of the _entire_ upload if an app
+ attemps to do resumed uploads since libcurl simply cannot know the size of
+ what is currently at the server end. Test 1041 is no longer disabled.
+
+Yang Tse (2 Aug 2008)
+- No longer test availability of the gdi32 library, nor use it for linking, even
+ when we have been doing this since revision 1.47 of configure.ac 4 years and
+ 5 months ago when cross-compiling a Windows target. We actually don't use any
+ function from the Windows GDI (Graphics Device Interface) related with drawing
+ or graphics-related operations.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (1 Aug 2008)
+- Added support for --append on SFTP uploads. Unfortunately, OpenSSH doesn't
+ support this so it goes untested.
+
+Yang Tse (1 Aug 2008)
+- Configure process now checks if the preprocessor _REENTRANT symbol is already
+ defined. If it isn't currently defined a set of checks are performed to test
+ if its definition is required to make visible to the compiler a set of *_r
+ functions. Finally, if _REENTRANT is already defined or needed it takes care
+ of making adjustments necessary to ensure that it is defined equally for the
+ configure process tests and generated config file.
+
+- Removed definition of CURL_CHECK_WORKING_RESOLVER from acinclude.m4 it has
+ not been in use since revision 1.81 of configure.in 6 years, 9 months ago.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (31 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed parsing of an IPv6 proxy address to support a scope identifier,
+ as well as IPv4 addresses in IPv6 format. Also, better handle the case
+ of a malformatted IPv6 address (avoid empty and NULL strings).
+
+- Fixed a problem with any FTP URL or any URLs containing an IPv6 address
+ being mangled when passed to proxies when CURLOPT_PORT is also set
+ (reported by Pramod Sharma).
+
+- User names embedded in proxy URLs without a password were parsed
+ incorrectly--the host name is treated as part of the user name and the
+ port number becomes the password. This can be observed in test 279
+ (was KNOWN_ISSUE #54).
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Jul 2008)
+- Phil Blundell added the CURLOPT_ADDRESS_SCOPE option, as well as adjusted
+ the URL parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the
+ scope given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be
+ URL escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
+ "http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
+
+- PHP's bug report #43158 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43158) identifies a
+ true bug in libcurl built with OpenSSL. It made curl_easy_getinfo() more or
+ less always return 0 for CURLINFO_SSL_VERIFYRESULT because the function that
+ would set it to something non-zero would return before the assign in almost
+ all error cases. The internal variable is now set to non-zero from the start
+ of the function only to get cleared later on if things work out fine.
+
+- Made the curl tool's -w option support the %{ssl_verify_result} variable
+
+Daniel Fandrich (30 Jul 2008)
+- Added test cases 1052 through 1055 to test uploading data from files
+ during redirects. Test cases 1052 and 1055 show problems (maybe the same
+ root cause as 1051) and are disabled.
+
+- Fixed a couple of buffer overflows in the MS-DOS port of the curl tool.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (29 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed --use-ascii to properly convert text files on Symbian OS, MS-DOS
+ and OS/2.
+
+- Added test case 1051 to test Location: following with PUT, as reported
+ by Ben Sutcliffe. The test when run manually shows a problem in curl
+ so it's disabled.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (28 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed display of the interface bind address in the trace output when it's
+ an IPv6 address.
+
+- Added test cases 1045 through 1049 as simple tests of --interface using the
+ localhost interface.
+
+- Added test case 1050 to test --ftp-port with an IPv6 address
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2008)
+- David Bau filed bug report #2026240 "CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE leads to buffer
+ overrun" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2026240) identifying two
+ problems, and providing the fix for them:
+
+ - CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE did in fact not pause the _sending_ of data that it is
+ designed for but paused _receiving_ of data!
+
+ - libcurl didn't internally set the read counter to zero when this return
+ code was detected, which would potentially lead to junk getting sent to
+ the server.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (26 Jul 2008)
+- Added test 1044 to test large file support in ftp with -I.
+
+- Eliminate a unnecessary socket creation in Curl_getaddrinfo for an IPv4
+ address in an IPv6 capable libcurl.
+
+- Added feature in runtests.pl to select tests based on key word.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (23 Jul 2008)
+- Changed the long logfile elision code in runtests.pl to properly handle
+ lines ending in \r.
+
+- Changed references to TRUE and FALSE in the curl_easy_setopt man page to
+ 1 and zero, respectively, since TRUE and FALSE aren't part of the
+ libcurl API.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2008)
+- I went over the curl_easy_setopt man page and replaced most references to
+ non-zero with the fixed value of 1. We should strive at making options
+ support '1' for enabling them mentioned explicitly, as that then will allow
+ us for to extend them in the future without breaking older programs.
+
+ Possibly we should even introduce a fancy define to use instead of '1' all
+ over...
+
+Yang Tse (21 Jul 2008)
+- Use the sreadfrom() wrapper to replace recvfrom() in our code.
+
+Yang Tse (20 Jul 2008)
+- when recvfrom prototype uses a void pointer for arguments 2, 5 or 6 this will
+ now cause the definition, as appropriate, of RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2_IS_VOID,
+ RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5_IS_VOID or RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6_IS_VOID.
+
+Yang Tse (17 Jul 2008)
+- RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG2, RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG5 and RECVFROM_TYPE_ARG6 are now defined
+ to the data type pointed by its respective argument and not the pointer type.
+
+Yang Tse (16 Jul 2008)
+- Configure process now checks availability of recvfrom() socket function and
+ finds out its return type and the types of its arguments. Added definitions
+ for non-configure systems config files, and introduced macro sreadfrom which
+ will be used on udp sockets as a recvfrom() wrapper.
+
+Yang Tse (15 Jul 2008)
+- Added description/comment to include paths used in several Makefile.am files.
+ Added automake option nostdinc to test servers makefile and modified libcurl
+ external headers include path for libtest programs.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (14 Jul 2008)
+- Added test1040 through test1043 to test -C - on HTTP. Test 1041 failed so
+ it's added to DISABLED.
+
+Yang Tse (14 Jul 2008)
+- HTTP_ONLY definition check in lib/setup.h is now done once that configuration
+ file has been included. In this way if symbol is defined in the config file
+ it will no longer be ignored. Removed inclusion of remaining system header
+ files from configuration files. Moved _REENTRANT definition up/earlier in
+ lib/setup.h
+
+Yang Tse (11 Jul 2008)
+- Added missing multiple header inclusion prevention definition for header
+ file content_encoding.h
+
+Daniel Fandrich (11 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed test 553 to pass the torture test.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Jul 2008)
+- Daniel Fandrich found out we didn't pass on the user-agent properly when
+ doing "proxy-tunnels" with non-HTTP prototols and that was simply because
+ the code assumed the user-agent was only needed for HTTP.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (10 Jul 2008)
+- Changed slightly the SFTP quote commands chmod, chown and chgrp to only
+ set the attribute that has changed instead of all possible ones. Hopefully,
+ this will solve the "Permission denied" problem that Nagarajan Sreenivasan
+ reported when setting some modes, but regardless, it saves a protocol
+ round trip in the chmod case.
+
+- Added test cases 1038 and 1039 to test Adrian Kreher's report that ftp
+ uploads with -C - didn't resume properly, but the tests pass.
+
+Yang Tse (10 Jul 2008)
+- Peter Lamberg filed bug report #2015126: "poll gives WSAEINVAL when POLLPRI
+ is set in fdset.events" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2015126) which
+ exactly pinpointed the problem only triggered on Windows Vista, provided
+ reference to docs and also a fix. There is much work behind Peter Lamberg's
+ excellent bug report. Thank You!
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
+- Added tests 1036 and 1037 to verify resumed ftp downloads with -C -
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2008)
+- Andreas Schuldei improved Phil Blundell's patch for IPv6 using c-ares, and I
+ edited it slightly. Now you should be able to use IPv6 addresses fine even
+ with libcurl built to use c-ares.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed an OOM handling problem that cause test 11 to fail the torture test.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (8 Jul 2008)
+- Fixed test 554 to pass the torture test.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Jul 2008)
+- Added test cases 1034 & 1035 to test IDN name conversion failures.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 Jul 2008)
+- Scott Barrett provided a test case for a segfault in the FTP code and the
+ fix for it. It occured when you did a FTP transfer using
+ CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD and then did another one on the same easy handle but
+ switched to CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD. Due to the "dir depth" variable not being
+ cleared properly. Scott's test case is now known as test 539 and it
+ verifies the fix.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Jul 2008)
+- Phil Blundell provided a fix for libcurl's treatment of unexpected 1xx
+ response codes. Previously libcurl would hang on such occurances. I added
+ test case 1033 to verify.
+
+- Introcuding a new timestamp for curl_easy_getinfo():
+ CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
+ handshake/connection is completed. Which typically is SSL, TLS or SSH and by
+ using this you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You
+ can extract the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
+ 'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (2 Jul 2008)
+- Support Open Watcom C on Linux (as well as Windows).
+
+Yang Tse (2 Jul 2008)
+- The previously committed fix for bug report #1999181 prevented using the
+ monotonic clock on any system without an always supported POSIX compliant
+ implementation. Now the POSIX compliant configuration check is removed and
+ will fallback to gettimeofday when the monotonic clock is unavailable at
+ run-time.
+
+- The configure process will now halt when sed, grep, egrep or ar programs
+ can not be found among the directories in PATH variable.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 Jul 2008)
+- Rolland Dudemaine provided fixes to get libcurl to build for the INTEGRITY
+ operating system.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (30 Jun 2008)
+- Made the internal printf() support %llu properly to print unsigned long longs.
+
+- Stephen Collyer and Tor Arntsen helped identify a flaw in the range code
+ which output the range using a signed variable where it should rather use
+ unsigned.
+
+Yang Tse (29 Jun 2008)
+- John Lightsey filed bug report #1999181: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC always fails on
+ some systems" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1999181). The problem was
+ that the configure script did not use the _POSIX_MONOTONIC_CLOCK feature test
+ macro when checking monotonic clock availability. This is now fixed and the
+ monotonic clock will not be used unless the feature test macro is defined
+ with a value greater than zero indicating always supported.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (25 Jun 2008)
+- Honour --stderr with the -v option.
+
+- Fixed a file handle leak in the command line client if more than one
+ --stderr option was given.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (22 Jun 2008)
+- Eduard Bloch filed the debian bug report #487567
+ (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=487567) pointing out that
+ libcurl used Content-Range: instead of Range when doing a range request with
+ --head (CURLOPT_NOBODY). This is now fixed and test case 1032 was added to
+ verify.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (21 Jun 2008)
+- Stopped using ranges in scanf character sequences (e.g. %[a-z]) since that
+ is not ANSI C, just a common extension. This caused problems on
+ at least Open Watcom C.
+
+Yang Tse (20 Jun 2008)
+- Modified configuration script to actually verify if the compiler is good
+ enough at detecting compilation errors or at least it has been properly
+ configured to do so. Configuration heavily depends on this capability, so
+ if this compiler sanity check fails the configuration process will now fail.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (20 Jun 2008)
+- Phil Pellouchoud found a case where libcurl built with NSS failed to
+ handshake with a SSLv2 server, and it turned out to be because it didn't
+ recognize the cipher named "rc4-md5". In our list that cipher was named
+ plainly "rc4". I've now added rc4-md5 to work as an alias as Phil reported
+ that it made things work for him again.
+
+- Hans-Jurgen May pointed out that trying SCP or SFTP over a SOCKS proxy
+ crashed libcurl. This is now addressed by making sure we use "plain send"
+ internally when doing the socks handshake instead of the Curl_write()
+ function which is designed to use the "target" protocol. That's then SCP or
+ SFTP in this case. I also took the opportunity and cleaned up some ssh-
+ related #ifdefs in the code for readability.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 Jun 2008)
+- Christopher Palow fixed a curl_multi_socket() issue which previously caused
+ libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
+ resolve done by c-ares is completed) and then immediately re-created and put
+ to use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
+ "watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
+ tell the app about this close/re-create case.
+
+- Dengminwen found a bug in the connection re-use function when using the
+ multi interface with pipelining enabled as it would wrongly check for,
+ detect and close "dead connections" even though that connection was already
+ in use!
+
+Daniel Fandrich (18 Jun 2008)
+- Added SSH failure test cases 628-632
+
+- Fixed a memory leak in the command-line tool that caused a valgrind error.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (18 Jun 2008)
+- Rob Crittenden brought a fix for the NSS layer that makes libcurl no longer
+ always fire up a new connection rather than using the existing one when the
+ multi interface is used. Original bug report:
+ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450140
+
+Yang Tse (18 Jun 2008)
+- Internal configure script improvement. No longer break out of shell "for"
+ statements from inside AC_FOO_IFELSE macros, otherwise temporary macro files
+ are not properly removed.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (12 Jun 2008)
+- Fixed curl-config --ca which wasn't being exported by configure.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Jun 2008)
+- I did a cleanup of the internal generic SSL layer and how the various SSL
+ libraries are supported. Starting now, each underlying SSL library support
+ code does a set of defines for the 16 functions the generic layer (sslgen.c)
+ uses (all these new function defines use the prefix "curlssl_"). This
+ greatly simplified the generic layer in readability by involving much less
+ #ifdefs and other preprocessor stuff and should make it easier for people to
+ make libcurl work with new SSL libraries.
+
+ Hopefully I can later on document these 16 functions somewhat as well.
+
+ I also made most of the internal SSL-dependent functions (using Curl_ssl_
+ prefix) #defined to nothing when no SSL support is requested - previously
+ they would unnecessarily call mostly empty functions.
+
+ I've built libcurl with OpenSSL and GnuTLS and without SSL to test this and
+ I've also tried building with NSS but the NSS support is a mystery to me and
+ I failed to build libcurl with the NSS libraries I have installed. We really
+ should A) improve our configure script to detect unsuitable NSS versions
+ already at configure time and B) document our requirements better for the
+ SSL libraries.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2008)
+- I made the OpenSSL code build again with OpenSSL 0.9.6. The CRLFILE
+ functionality killed it due to its unconditional use of
+ X509_STORE_set_flags...
+
+Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2008)
+- Due to the three new libcurl changes and the massive command line option
+ change I decided we'll mark it by bumping the next release number to 7.19.0!
+
+- curl the tool now deals with its command line options somewhat differently!
+ All boolean options (such as -O, -I, -v etc), both short and long versions,
+ now always switch on/enable the option named. Using the same option multiple
+ times thus make no difference. To switch off one of those options, you need
+ to use the long version of the option and type --no-OPTION. Like to disable
+ verbose mode you use --no-verbose!
+
+- Added --remote-name-all to curl, which if used changes the default for all
+ given URLs to be dealt with as if -O is used. So if you want to disable that
+ for a specific URL after --remote-name-all has been used, you muse use -o -
+ or --no-remote-name.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (6 Jun 2008)
+- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT, for
+ OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
+
+- Axel Tillequin and Arnaud Ebalard added support for CURLOPT_CRLFILE, for
+ OpenSSL, NSS and GnuTLS-built libcurls.
+
+- Added CURLINFO_PRIMARY_IP as a new information retrievable with
+ curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently
+ used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
+ implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
+
+Version 7.18.2 (4 June 2008)
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 Jun 2008)
+- Fixed a problem where telnet data would be lost if an EWOULDBLOCK
+ condition were encountered.
+
+Marty Kuhrt (1 Jun 2008)
+- Updated main.c to return CURLE_OK if PARAM_HELP_REQUESTED was returned
+ from getparameter instead of CURLE_FAILED_INIT. No point in returning
+ an error if --help or --version were requested.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 May 2008)
+- Emil Romanus found a problem and helped me repeat it. It occured when using
+ the curl_multi_socket() API with HTTP pipelining enabled and could lead to
+ the pipeline basically stalling for a very long period of time until it took
+ off again.
+
+- Jeff Weber reported memory leaks with aborted SCP and SFTP transfers and
+ provided excellent repeat recipes. I fixed the cases I managed to reproduce
+ but Jeff still got some (SCP) problems even after these fixes:
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0342.html
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 May 2008)
+- Bug report #1973352 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1973352) identified
+ how the HTTP redirect following code didn't properly follow to a new URL if
+ the new url was but a query string such as "Location: ?moo=foo". Test case
+ 1031 was added to verify this fix.
+
+- Andreas Faerber and Scott McCreary made (lib)curl build for the Haiku OS.
+
+Yang Tse (26 May 2008)
+- David Rosenstrauch reported that header files spnegohelp.h and
+ openssl/objects.h were needed to compile SPNEGO support.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2008)
+- Made sure to pass longs in to curl_easy_setopt where necessary in the
+ example programs and libtest code.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2008)
+- When trying to repeat a multi interface problem I fell over a few multi
+ interface problems:
+
+ o with pipelining disabled, the state should never be set to WAITDO but
+ rather go straight to DO
+
+ o we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket
+ at all to wait for, with the effect that libcurl calls the socket callback
+ (when curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be
+ added again within very shortly)
+
+ o when in DO and DOING states, the HTTP and HTTPS protocol handler functions
+ didn't return that the socket should be waited for writing, but instead it
+ was treated as if no socket was needing monitoring so again REMOVE was
+ called prematurely.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 May 2008)
+- Added test case 556 that uses curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv()
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 May 2008)
+- Introducing curl_easy_send() and curl_easy_recv(). They can be used to send
+ and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()
+ and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to
+ show how they can be used.
+
+Yang Tse (9 May 2008)
+- Internal time differences now use monotonic time source if available.
+ This also implies the removal of the winmm.lib dependency for WIN32.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 May 2008)
+- Stefan Krause reported a busy-looping case when using the multi interface
+ and doing CONNECT to a proxy. The app would then busy-loop until the proxy
+ completed its response.
+
+Michal Marek (9 May 2008)
+- Make Curl_write and it's callees accept a const pointer, in preparation
+ of tetetest's patch for curl_easy_send()
+
+Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2008)
+- Liam Healy filed the debian bug report #480044
+ (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=480044) identifying a
+ segfault when using krb5 ftp, but the krb4 code had the same problem.
+
+Yang Tse (7 May 2008)
+- Christopher Palow provided the patch (edited by me) that introduces the
+ use of microsecond resolution keys for internal splay trees.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2008)
+- Yuriy Sosov pointed out a configure fix for detecting c-ares when that is
+ built debug-enabled.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 May 2008)
+- Ben Van Hof filed bug report #1945240: "libcurl sometimes sends body twice
+ when using CURL_AUTH_ANY" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1945240).
+ The problem was that when libcurl rewound a stream meant for upload when it
+ would prepare for a second request, it could accidentally continue the
+ sending of the rewound data on the first request instead of on the second.
+ Ben also provided test case 1030 that verifies this fix.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 May 2008)
+- Jean-Francois Bertrand reported a libcurl crash with CURLOPT_TCP_NODELAY
+ since libcurl used getprotobyname() and that isn't thread-safe. We now
+ switched to use IPPROTO_TCP unconditionally, but perhaps the proper fix is
+ to detect the thread-safe version of the function and use that.
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-05/0011.html
+
+Daniel Stenberg (1 May 2008)
+- Bart Whiteley provided a patch that made libcurl work properly when an app
+ uses the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION callback to create a unix domain socket
+ to a http server.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2008)
+- To make it easier for applications that want lots of magic stuff done on
+ redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
+ introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
+ extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
+ then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
+ suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
+ from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
+
+Yang Tse (29 Apr 2008)
+- Improved easy interface resolving timeout handling in c-ares enabled builds
+
+Daniel Fandrich (28 Apr 2008)
+- Added test 1028 to test an HTTP redirect to a FTP URL.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2008)
+- Norbert Frese filed bug report #1951588: "Problem with curlftpfs and
+ libcurl" (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1951588) which seems to be an
+ identical report to what Denis Golovan reported in
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0108.html The FTP code didn't reset the
+ user/password pointers properly even though there might've been a new
+ struct/cconnection getting used.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2008)
+- Reverted back to use automake 1.9.6 in the next release (from automake
+ 1.10.1) since it *still* suffers from Solaris-related bugs. Our previous
+ automake 1.10 problem was reported in bug #1701360
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1701360) and this recent problem was
+ bug #1944825 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1944825). I have not
+ personally approached the automake team about either one of these but I
+ figure we need a Solaris 10 guy to do it!
+
+Yang Tse (25 Apr 2008)
+- Added 'timeout' and 'delay' attributes support for the test harness
+ <command> subsection.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (24 Apr 2008)
+- Made --stderr able to redirect all stderr messages.
+
+Yang Tse (23 Apr 2008)
+- Improve synchronization between test harness runtests.pl script
+ and test harness servers to minimize risk of false test failures.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (22 Apr 2008)
+- Added support for running on Symbian OS.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (18 Apr 2008)
+- Added test cases 1026 and 1027 to do some rudimentary tests on the --manual
+ and --help options.
+
+Michal Marek (14 Apr 2008)
+- allow disabling the typechecker by defining CURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK, as
+ discussed in http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-04/0291.html
+
+Daniel Stenberg (14 Apr 2008)
+- Stefan Krause reported a case where the OpenSSL handshake phase wasn't
+ properly acknowledging the timeout values, like if you pulled the network
+ plug in the midst of it.
+
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a second case of not checking the malloc()
+ return code in the Negotiate code.
+
+- Sandor Feldi reported bug #1942022
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1942022) pointing out a mistake in the
+ lib/Makefile.vc[68] makefiles' release-ssl-dll target.
+
+- Brock Noland reported that curl behaved differently depending on which order
+ you used -i and -I.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (12 Apr 2008)
+- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a case where malloc() was called but
+ was not checked for a NULL return, in the Negotiate code.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (9 Apr 2008)
+- Added test cases 1024 & 1025 to test a scenario similar to the one reported
+ by Ben Combee where libcurl would send the wrong cookie to a redirected
+ server. libcurl was doing the right thing in these test cases.
+
+Michal Marek (7 Apr 2008)
+- Fix the MIT / Heimdal check for good:
+ Define HAVE_GSSMIT if <gssapi/{gssapi.h,gssapi_generic.h,gssapi_krb5.h}> are
+ available, otherwise define HAVE_GSSHEIMDAL if <gssapi.h> is available.
+
+ Only define GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE to gss_nt_service_name if
+ GSS_C_NT_HOSTBASED_SERVICE isn't declared by the gssapi headers. This should
+ avoid breakage in case we wrongly recognize Heimdal as MIT again.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (5 Apr 2008)
+- Alexey Simak fixed curl_easy_reset() to reset the max redirect limit properly
+
+- Based on the Debian bug report #474224 that complained about the FTP error
+ message when libcurl doesn't get a 220 back immediately on connect, I now
+ changed it to be more specific on what the problem is. Also worth noticing:
+ while the bug report contains an example where the response is:
+
+ 421 There are too many connected users, please try again later
+
+ we cannot assume that the error message will always be this readable nor
+ that it fits within a particular boundary etc.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 Apr 2008)
+- Added test627 to test SFTP with CURLOPT_NOBODY
+
+Daniel Stenberg (3 Apr 2008)
+- Setting CURLOPT_NOBODY to FALSE will now switch the HTTP request method to
+ GET simply because previously when you set CURLOPT_NOBODY to TRUE first and
+ then FALSE you'd end up in a broken state where a HTTP request would do a
+ HEAD by still act a lot like for a GET and hang waiting for the content etc.
+
+- Scott Barrett added support for CURLOPT_NOBODY over SFTP
+
+Daniel Fandrich (3 Apr 2008)
+- Made sure that curl_global_init is called in all the multithreaded
+ example programs.
+
+Michal Marek (31 Mar 2008)
+- Removed the generated ca-bundle.h file. The verbatim value of $ca and
+ $capath is known to configure, so it can be defined in config.h instead.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (31 Mar 2008)
+- Added CURLFORM_STREAM as a supported option to curl_formadd() to allow an
+ application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note
+ that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the
+ stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case
+ 554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (30 Mar 2008)
+- Changed the makefile so the doc/examples/ programs are never built in a
+ normal build/install (only with the 'make check' target), so that a
+ build failure in the examples isn't fatal.
+
+Version 7.18.1 (30 March 2008)
+
+Daniel Stenberg (28 Mar 2008)
+- Stephen Collyer pointed out that configure --with-libssh2 without a given
+ path didn't work properly.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (27 Mar 2008)
+- As found out and reported by Dan Petitt, libcurl didn't show progress/call
+ the progress callback for the first (potentially huge) piece of body data
+ sent together with the POST request headers in the initial send().
+
+Daniel Stenberg (25 Mar 2008)
+- Made setting the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION option return a failure in case
+ libcurl wasn't built to use OpenSSL as that is a prerequisite for this
+ option to function!
+
+Daniel Stenberg (22 Mar 2008)
+- Fixed the problem with doing a zero byte SCP transfer, verified with test
+ case 617 (which was added by Daniel Fandrich 5 Mar 2008).
+
+Daniel Fandrich (20 Mar 2008)
+- Fixed a problem where curl-config --protocols could erroneously show LDAPS
+ support when curl didn't even have regular LDAP support. It looks like
+ this could happen when the --enable-ldaps configure switch is given but
+ configure couldn't find the LDAP headers or libraries.
+
+Michal Marek (20 Mar 2008)
+- Added --with-ca-path=DIRECTORY configure option to use an openSSL CApath by
+ default instead of a ca bundle. The configure script will also look for a
+ ca path if no ca bundle is found and no option given.
+
+- Fixed detection of previously installed curl-ca-bundle.crt
+
+Daniel Fandrich (18 Mar 2008)
+- Added test 626 to reproduce an infinite loop when given an invalid
+ SFTP quote command reported by Vincent Le Normand, and fixed it.
+
+Michal Marek (18 Mar 2008)
+- Added curl_easy_getinfo typechecker.
+
+- Added macros for curl_share_setopt and curl_multi_setopt to check at least
+ the correct number of arguments.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (13 Mar 2008)
+- Added tests 622-625 to test SFTP/SCP uploads. Test 625 was an attempt to
+ reproduce the --ftp-create-dirs problem reported by Brian Ulm, but that
+ seems to need a call curl_easy_reset() which this test case doesn't do.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2008)
+- Brian Ulm figured out that if you did an SFTP upload with
+ CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS to create a directory, and then re-used the
+ handle and uploaded another file to another directory that needed to be
+ created, the second upload would fail. Another case of a state variable that
+ wasn't properly reset between requests.
+
+- I rewrote the 100-continue code to use a single state variable instead of
+ the previous two ones. I think it made the logic somewhat clearer.
+
+Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2008)
+- Dmitry Popov filed bug report #1911069
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1911069) that identified a race
+ condition in the name resolver code when the DNS cache is shared between
+ multiple easy handles, each running in simultaneous threads that could cause
+ crashes.
+
+- Added a macro for curl_easy_setopt() that accepts three arguments and simply
+ does nothing with them, just to make sure libcurl users always use three
+ arguments to this function. Due to its use of ... for the third argument, it
+ is otherwise hard to detect abuse.
+
+Michal Marek (11 Mar 2008)
+- Added a type checking macro for curl_easy_setopt(), needs gcc-4.3 and only
+ works in C mode atm (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0267.html ,
+ http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-02/0292.html )
+
+Daniel Fandrich (10 Mar 2008)
+- Added tests 618-621 to test SFTP/SCP transfers of more than one file
+ (test 620 tests the just-fixed problem reported by Brian Ulm).
+
+Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2008)
+- Brian Ulm reported a crash when doing a second SFTP transfer on a re-used
+ easy handle if curl_easy_reset() was used between them. I fixed it and Brian
+ verified that it cured his problem.
+
+- Brian Ulm reported that if you first tried to download a non-existing SFTP
+ file and then fetched an existing one and re-used the handle, libcurl would
+ still report the second one as non-existing as well! I fixed it and Brian
+ verified that it cured his problem.
+
+Michal Marek (6 Mar 2008)
+- Fix the gssapi configure check to detect newer MIT Kerberos (patch by
+ Michael Calmer)
+
+Yang Tse (6 Mar 2008)
+- Fix regression on Curl_socket_ready() and Curl_poll() so that these will
+ again fail on select/poll errors different than EINTR.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2008)
+- Fixed the test harness so it will write out zero-length data files.
+
+- Added tests 616 and 617 to see how SFTP and SCP cope with zero-length
+ files, as questioned by Mike Protts. SFTP does for me but SCP doesn't
+ so test 617 is disabled for now.
+
+Daniel S (4 Mar 2008)
+- Mike Protts brought a patch that makes resumed transfers work with SFTP.
+
+Daniel S (1 Mar 2008)
+- Anatoli Tubman found and fixed a crash with Negotiate authentication used on
+ a re-used connection where both requests used Negotiate.
+
+Guenter Knauf (26 Feb 2008)
+- Kaspar Brand provided a patch to support server name indication (RFC 4366).
+
+Daniel S (25 Feb 2008)
+- Kaspar Brand made GnuTLS-built libcurl properly acknowledge the option that
+ forces it to prefer SSLv3.
+
+Daniel S (23 Feb 2008)
+- Sam Listopad provided a patch in feature-request #1900014
+ http://curl.haxx.se/bug/feature.cgi?id=1900014 that makes libcurl (built to
+ use OpenSSL) support a full chain of certificates in a given PKCS12
+ certificate.
+
+Daniel S (22 Feb 2008)
+- Georg Lippitsch made the src/Makefile.vc6 makefile use the same memory model
+ options as the lib/Makefile.vc6 already did.
+
+Daniel S (21 Feb 2008)
+- Zmey Petroff found a crash when libcurl accessed a NULL pointer, which
+ happened if you set the connection cache size to 1 and for example failed to
+ login to an FTP site. Bug report #1896698
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1896698)
+
+Daniel S (20 Feb 2008)
+- Fixed test case 405 to not fail when libcurl is built with GnuTLS
+
+- Based on initial work done by Gautam Kachroo to address a bug, we now keep
+ better control at the exact state of the connection's SSL status so that we
+ know exactly when it has completed the SSL negotiation or not so that there
+ won't be accidental re-uses of connections that are wrongly believed to be
+ in SSL-completed-negotiate state.
+
+- We no longer support setting the CURLOPT_URL option from inside a callback
+ such as the CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION one treat that as if it was a Location:
+ following. The patch that introduced this feature was done for 7.11.0, but
+ this code and functionality has been broken since about 7.15.4 (March 2006)
+ with the introduction of non-blocking OpenSSL "connects".
+
+ It was a hack to begin with and since it doesn't work and hasn't worked
+ correctly for a long time and nobody has even noticed, I consider it a very
+ suitable subject for plain removal. And so it was done.
+
+Guenter Knauf (19 Feb 2008)
+- We do no longer support SSLv2 by default since it has known flaws.
+ Kaspar Brand provided a patch for all supported SSL toolkits.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (19 Feb 2008)
+- Added test309 to test HTTP redirect to HTTPS URL
+
+Daniel S (18 Feb 2008)
+- We're no longer providing a very old ca-bundle in the curl tarball. You can
+ get a fresh one downloaded and created with 'make ca-bundle' or you can get
+ one from here => http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html if you want a fresh
+ new one extracted from Mozilla's recent list of ca certs.
+
+ The configure option --with-ca-bundle now lets you specify what file to use
+ as default ca bundle for your build. If not specified, the configure script
+ will check a few known standard places for a global ca cert to use.
+
+Daniel S (17 Feb 2008)
+- Jerome Muffat-Meridol helped me fix Curl_done() to close the current
+ connection by force when it was called before the entire request is
+ completed, simply because we can't know if the connection really can be
+ re-used safely at that point.
+
+- Based on the same debugging logic, I've also made Curl_http_done() not
+ return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING if called "prematurely". This should have no real
+ effect to anything but the code makes more sense like this.
+
+Daniel S (15 Feb 2008)
+- Made the gnutls code path not even try to get the server cert if no peer
+ verification is requested. Previously it would even return failure if gnutls
+ failed to get the server cert even though no verification was asked for.
+ Public server showing the problem: https://www.net222.caisse-epargne.fr
+
+- Fix my Curl_timeleft() leftover mistake in the gnutls code
+
+- Pooyan McSporran found and fixed a flaw where you first would do a normal
+ http request and then you'd reuse the handle and replace the Accept: header,
+ as then libcurl would send two Accept: headers!
+
+Daniel S (11 Feb 2008)
+- Yang Tse pointed out a few remaining quirks from my timeout refactoring from
+ Feb 7 that didn't abort properly on timeouts. These are actually old
+ problems but now they should be fixed.
+
+Yang Tse (10 Feb 2008)
+- Bug report #1888932 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1888932) points out
+ and provides test program that demonstrates that libcurl might not set error
+ description message for error CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_HOST for Windows threaded
+ name resolver builds. Fixed now.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (8 Feb 2008)
+- Added key words to all SSL-using tests so they can be skipped if necessary.
+ Removed a few unnecessary requires SSL statements.
+
+Daniel S (8 Feb 2008)
+- Mike Hommey filed and fixed bug report #1889856
+ (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1889856): When using the gnutls ssl
+ layer, cleaning-up and reinitializing curl ends up with https requests
+ failing with "ASN1 parser: Element was not found" errors. Obviously a
+ regression added in 7.16.3.
+
+Yang Tse (8 Feb 2008)
+- Improved test harness SCP/SFTP start up server verification, doing a real
+ connection to the sftp server, authenticating and running a simple sftp
+ pwd command using the test harness generated configuration and key files.
+
+Daniel S (8 Feb 2008)
+- Günter Knauf added lib/mk-ca-bundle.pl which gets the Firefox ca bundle and
+ creates a suitable ca-bundle.crt file in PEM format for use with curl. The
+ recommended way to run it is to use 'make ca-bundle' in the build tree root.
+
+Daniel Fandrich (7 Feb 2008)
+- Added tests 1022 and 1023 to validate output of curl-config --version and
+ --vernum
+
+Daniel S (7 Feb 2008)
+- Refactored a lot of timeout code into a few functions in an attempt to make
+ them all use the same (hopefully correct) logic to make it less error-prone
+ and easier to introduce library-wide where it should be used.
+
+Yang Tse (6 Feb 2008)
+- Fix an issue in strdup replacement function when dealing with absolutely
+ huge strings. Only systems without a standard strdup would be affected.
+
+Daniel S (3 Feb 2008)
+- Dmitry Kurochkin cleaned up the pipelining code and removed the need for and
+ use of the "is_in_pipeline" struct field.
+
+- I wrote up and added the threaded-ssl.c example source code that shows how
+ to do multi-threaded downloads of HTTPS files with a libcurl that is built
+ with OpenSSL. It uses pthreads for the threading.
+
+Daniel S (31 Jan 2008)
+- Niklas Angebrand made the cookie support in libcurl properly deal with the
+ "HttpOnly" feature introduced by Microsoft and apparently also supported by
+ Firefox: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533046.aspx . HttpOnly
+ is now supported when received from servers in HTTP headers, when written to
+ cookie jars and when read from existing cookie jars.
+
+ I modified test case 31 and 46 to also do some basic HttpOnly testing.
+
+- 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

+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.
+
+- Günter 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 Bruchhäuser 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 Rundström 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.
