From bb601731ea2585aa2890689d8b09082042be7e30 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Sat, 24 Mar 2001 18:50:55 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] numerous corrections since the 7.7 release --- CHANGES | 39 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 39 insertions(+) diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index f835008..212a213 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -6,6 +6,45 @@ History of Changes +Daniel (24 March 2001) +- Colin Watson reported about a problem and brought a patch that corrected it, + which was about the man page and lines starting with a single quote (') in a + way that gnroff doesn't like. + +Daniel (23 March 2001) +- Peter Bray reported correctly that the root makefile used make instead of + $(MAKE) for the test target. + +- Corrected the Curl::easy perl interface to use curl_easy_setopt() and not + curl_setopt() which was removed in 7.7! + +- SM provided updates on three documents (MANUAL, INSTALL and FAQ). + +- When following a Location:, libcurl would sometimes write to the URL string + in a way it shouldn't. As the pointer is passed-in to libcurl from an + application, we can't be allowed to write to it. The particular bug report + from 'nk' that brought this up was because he had a read-only URL that then + caused a libcurl crash! + +- No longer reads HEAD responses longer than to the last header. Previously, + curl would read the full reply if the connection was a "close" one. + +- libcurl did re-use connections way too much. Doing "curl + http://www.{microsoft,ibm}.com" would make it re-use the connection which + made the second request return very odd results. + +Daniel (22 March 2001) +- Edin Kadribasic made me aware that curl should not re-send POST requests + when following 302-redirects. I made 302 work like 303 which means curl uses + GET in the following request(s). + +- libcurl now reset the "followed-location" counter on each invoke of + curl_easy_perform() as it otherwise would sum up all redirects on the same + connection and thus could reach the maxredirs counter wrongly. + +- Jim Drash suggested curl_escape() should not re-encode what already looks + like an encoded sequence and I think that's a fair suggestion. + Version 7.7 Daniel (22 March 2001) -- 2.7.4
