History of Changes
+Version 7.1.1
+
+Daniel (21 August 2000)
+- Got more people involved in the gethostbyname_r() mess. Caolan McNamara sent
+ me configure-code that turned out to be very similar to my existing tests
+ which only make me more sure I'm on the right path. I changed the order of
+ the tests slightly, as it seems that some compilers don't yell error if a
+ function is used with too many parameters. Thus, the first tested function
+ will seem ok... Let's hope more compilers think of too-few parameters as bad
+ manners, as we're now trying the functions in that order; fewer first. I
+ should also add that Lars Hecking mailed me and volunteered to run tests on
+ a few odd systems. Coalan is keeping his work over at
+ http://www.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/publink/gethostbyname_r/. Might be handy in the
+ future as well.

+- I noticed I hadn't increased the name lookup buffer in lib/ftp.c. I don't
+ think this is the reason for the continued trouble though.
+
+Daniel (17 August 2000)
+- Fred Noz corrected my stupid mistakes in the gethostbyname_r() fluff. It
+ should affect some AIX, Digital Unix and HPUX 10 systems.

- Mathieu Legare compiled and build 7.1 without errors on both AIX 4.2 as well
screwed up!

-- Jason Priebe and an anynomous friend found some host names the Linux version
+- Jason Priebe and an anonymous friend found some host names the Linux version
of curl could not resolve. It turned out the buffer used to retrieve that
information was too small. Fixed. One could argue about the usefulness of
not having the slightest trace of a man page for gethostbyname_r() on my
Linux Redhat installation...

-- Balaji S Rao missed the possibility of replacing the Content-Type: and
- Content-Length: headers when doing -d posts. I added the possibility just now
+- Balaji S Rao was first in line to note the missing possibility to replace
+ the Content-Type: and Content-Length: headers when doing -d posts. I added
+ the possibility just now. It seems some people wants to do standard posts
+ using custom Content-Types.
Daniel (8 August 2000)
-- Mike Dowell correctly discovered that curl did not approve URLs with no user
- name but password. As in 'http://:foo@haxx.se'. I corrected this.

TODO
-For version 7. Stuff I palnned to have included in curl for version
-seven. Let's do a serious attempt to include most of this. (I do keep a task
-list over at the sourceforge.net project space, reachable from
-curl.sourceforge.net, it might be more up-to-date than this.)
-
- Make sure the low-level interface works. highlevel.c should basically be
- possible to write using that interface.
-
- Document the low-level interface
-
- Add asynchronous name resolving, as this enables full timeout support for
- fork() systems.
-
- Move non-URL related functions that are used by both the lib and the curl
- application to a separate "portability lib".
-
- Add support for other languages than C (not important)
-
- Improve the -K config file parser.
-
For the future
Ok, this is what I wanna do with Curl. Please tell me what you think, and
product! (Yes, you may add things not mentioned here, these are just a
few teasers...)
- * rtsp:// support -- "Real Time Streaming Protocol"
+ * Make sure the low-level interface works. highlevel.c should basically be
+ possible to write using that interface. Document the low-level interface
- RFC 2326
+ * Add asynchronous name resolving, as this enables full timeout support for
+ fork() systems.
+
+ * Move non-URL related functions that are used by both the lib and the curl
+ application to a separate "portability lib".
+
+ * Add support for other languages than C (not important)
+
+ * Improve the -K config file parser.
+
+ * rtsp:// support -- "Real Time Streaming Protocol" (RFC 2326)
* "Content-Encoding: compress/gzip/zlib"
RFC 2428 "FTP Extensions for IPv6 and NATs" will be interesting. PORT
should be replaced with EPRT for IPv6, and EPSV instead of PASV.
- * An automatic RPM package maker
- Please, write me a script that makes it. It'd make my day.
-
* SSL for more protocols, like SSL-FTP...
(http://search.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-murray-auth-ftp-ssl-05.txt)
* Make curl capable of verifying the server's certificate when connecting
with HTTPS://.
+ * Kerberos-FTP
