upgrade to 7.7.1. Version 7.7.1 Daniel (3 April 2001) - Puneet Pawaia pointed out two serious problems. Libcurl would attempt to read bad memory during situations when an (ftp) connection attempt failed. Also, the lib/Makefile.vc6 was corrected. - More investigations in the Location: following code made me realize that it was not clean enough to work transparantly with persistant and non- persistant connections. I think I've fixed it now. Daniel (29 March 2001) - Georg Horn mailed me some corrections for the Curl::easy perl interface. - Experimental ftps:// support added. It is basically FTP over SSL for the control connection. It still makes all data transfers going over unencrypted connections. Rainer Weikusat's ftpd-ssl server hack supports this and I used that to verify the functionality. Daniel (27 March 2001) - Guenole Bescon discovered that if you set a CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and then tried to get a file from a site and it fails, the SIGALRM would still be sent after the timeout-time, quite inexpectedly! - I added an ftp transfer example to docs/examples/ and I also wrote a tiny example makefile that can be used as a start when building one of the examples. Version 7.7.1-beta1 Daniel (26 March 2001) - Mohamed Lrhazi reported problems with 7.6.1 and persistant HTTP/1.0 connections (when the server replied a Connection: Keep-Alive) and this problem was not properly dealt with in 7.7 either. A patch was posted to the curl-and-php mailing list. 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) - The configure script now fails with an error message if gethostbyname_r() is detected but it couldn't figure out how to invoke it (what amount of arguments it is supposed to get). Reports from Andrés García made me aware of this need. - Talking with Jim Drash made me finally put the curl_escape and curl_unescape functions in the curl.h include file and write man pages for them. The escape function was modified to use the same interface as the unescape one had. - No bug reports at all on the latest betas. Release time coming up. Version 7.7-beta5 Daniel (19 March 2001) - Georg Ottinger reported problems with using -C together with -L in the sense that the -C info got lost when it was redirected. I could not repeat this problem on the 7.7 branch why I leave this for the moment. Test case 39 was added to do exactly this, and it seems to do right. - Christian Robottom Reis reported how his 7.7 beta didn't successfully do form posts as elegantly as 7.6.1 did. Indeed, this was a flaw in the header engine, as HTTP 1.1 has introduced a new 100 "transient" return code for PUT and POST operations that I need to add support for. Section 8.2.3 in RFC2616 has all the details. Seems to work now! Daniel (16 March 2001) - After having experienced another machine break-down, we're back. - Georg Horn's perl interface Curl::easy is now included in the curl release archive. The perl/ directory is now present. Please help me with docs, examples and updates you think fit. - Made a new php/ directory in the release archive and moved the PHP examples into a subdirectory in there. Not much PHP info yet, but I plan to. Please help me here as well! - Made libcurl return error if a transfer is aborted in the middle of a "chunk". It actually enables libcurl to discover premature transfer aborts even if the Content-Length: size is unknown. Daniel (15 March 2001) - Added --connect-timeout to curl, which sets the new CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT option in libcurl. It limits the time curl is allowed to spend in the connection phase. This differs from -m/--max-time that limits the entire file transfer operation. Requested by Larry Fahnoe and others. I also updated the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages and removed the item from the TODO. Version 7.7-beta4 Daniel (14 March 2001) - Made curl grok IPv6 with HTTP proxies and got everything to compile nicely again when ENABLE_IPV6 is set. I need to remake things in the test suite. I can't test the FTP parts with curl built for IPv6 as it uses a different set of FTP commands then! - I fell onto a bug report on php.net (posted by Lars Torben Wilson) that was a report meant for our project. Anyway, it said the .netrc parsing didn't work as supposed, and as I agreed with Lars, I made the netrc parser use getpwuid() to figure out the home directory of the effective user and try that netrc. It still uses the environment variable HOME for those that don't have that function or if the user doesn't return valid pwd info. - Edin Kadribaic posted a bug report where he got a crash when a fetch with user+password in the URL followed a Location: to a second URL (absolute, without name+password). This bug has been around for a long while and crashes due to a read at address zero. Fixed now. Wrote test case 38, that tests this. - Modified the test suite's httpserver slightly to append all client request data to its log file so that the test script now better can verify a range of requests and not only the last one, as it did previously. - Updated the curl man page with --random-file and --egd-file details. Version 7.7-beta3 Daniel (14 March 2001) - Björn Stenberg provided similar fixes as Jörn did and some additional patches for non-SSL compiles. - I increased the interface number for libcurl as I've removed the low level functions from the interface. I also took this opportunity to rename the Curl_strequal function to curl_strequal and Curl_strnequal to curl_strnequal, as they're public libcurl functions (even if they're still undocumented). This will make older programs not capable of using the new libcurl with just a drop-in replacement. - Jörn Hartroth updated stuff for win32 compiles: o config-win32.h was fixed for socklen_t o lib/ssluse.c had a bad #endif placement o lib/file.c was made to compile on win32 again o lib/Makefile.m32 was updated with the new files o lib/libcurl.def matches the current interface state Daniel (13 March 2001) - It only took an hour or so before Jörn Hartroth found a problem in the chunked transfer-encoding. Given his fine example-site, I could easily spot the problem and when I re-read the spec (the part I have pasted in the top of the http_chunks.h file), I realized I had made my state-machine slightly wrong and didn't expect/handle the trailing CRLF that comes after the data in each chunk (and those extra two bytes sure feel wasted). Had to modify test case 34 to match this as well. Version 7.7-beta2 Daniel (13 March 2001) - Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported policies. - Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy is chosen. Daniel (12 March 2001) - Added CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE and CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET to libcurl for seeding the SSL random engine. The random seeding support was also brought to the curl client with the new options --random-file <file> and --egd-file <file>. I need some people to really test this to know they work as supposed. Remember that libcurl now informs (if verbose is on) if the random seed is considered weak (HTTPS connections). - Made the chunked transfer-encoding engine detected bad formatted data length and return error if so (we can't possibly extract sensible data if this is the case). Added a test case that detects this. Number 36. Now there are 60 test cases. - Added 5 new libcurl options to curl/curl.h that can be used to control the persistant connection support in libcurl. They're also documented (fairly thoroughly) in the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page. Three of them are now implemented, although not really tested at this point... Anyway, the new implemented options are named CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE. The ones still left to write code for are: CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY and its related option CURLOPT_CLOSEFUNCTION. - Made curl (the actual command line tool) use the new libcurl 7.7 persistant connection support by re-using the same curl handle for every specified file transfer and after some more test case tweaking we have 100% test case OK. I made some test cases return HTTP/1.0 now to make sure that works as well. - Had to add 'Connection: close' to the headers of a bunch of test cases so that curl behaves "old-style" since the test http server doesn't do multiple connections... Now I get 100% test case OK. - The curl.haxx.se site, the main curl mailing list and my personal email are all dead today due to power blackout in the area where the main servers are located. Horrible. - I've made persistance work over a squid HTTP proxy. I find it disturbing that it uses headers that aren't present in any HTTP standard though (Proxy-Connection:) and that makes me feel that I'm now on the edge of what the standard actually defines. I need to get this code excercised on a lot of different HTTP proxies before I feel safe. Now I'm facing the problem with my test suite servers (both FTP and HTTP) not supporting persistant connections and libcurl is doing them now. I have to fix the test servers to get all the test cases do OK. Daniel (8 March 2001) - Guenole Bescon reported that libcurl did output errors to stderr even if MUTE and NOPROGRESS was set. It turned out to be a bug and happens if there's an error and no ERRORBUFFER is set. This is now corrected. Version 7.7-beta1 Daniel (8 March 2001) - "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is no longer any trouble for libcurl. I've added two source files and I've run some test downloads that look fine. - HTTP HEAD works too, even on 1.1 servers. Daniel (5 March 2001) - The current 57 test cases now pass OK. It would suggest that libcurl works using the old-style with one connection per handle. The test suite doesn't handle multiple connections yet so there are no test cases for this. - I patched the telnet.c heavily to not use any global variables anymore. It should make it a lot nicer library-wise. - The file:// support was modified slightly to use the internal connect-first- then-do approach. Daniel (4 March 2001) - More bugs erased. Version 7.7-alpha2 Daniel (4 March 2001) - Now, there's even a basic check that a re-used connection is still alive before it is assumed so. A few first tests have proven that libcurl will then re-connect instead of re-use the dead connection! Daniel (2 March 2001) - Now they work intermixed as well. Major coolness! - More fiddling around, my 'tiny' client I have for testing purposes now has proved to download both FTP and HTTP with persistant connections. They do not work intermixed yet though. Daniel (1 March 2001) - Wilfredo Sanchez pointed out a minor spelling mistake in a man page and that curl_slist_append() should take a const char * as second argument. It does now. Daniel (22 February 2001) - The persistant connections start to look good for HTTP. On a subsequent request, it seems that libcurl now can pick an already existing connection if a suitable one exists, or it opens a new one. - Douglas R. Horner mailed me corrections to the curl_formparse() man page that I applied. Daniel (20 February 2001) - Added the docs/examples/win32sockets.c file for our windows friends. - Linus Nielsen Feltzing provided brand new TELNET functionality and improvements: * Negotiation is now passive. Curl does not negotiate until the peer does. * Possibility to set negotiation options on the command line, currently only XDISPLOC, TTYPE and NEW_ENVIRON (called NEW_ENV). * Now sends the USER environment variable if the -u switch is used. * Use -t to set telnet options (Linus even updated the man page, awesome!) - Haven't done this big changes to curl for a while. Moved around a lot of struct fields and stuff to make multiple connections get connection specific data in separate structs so that they can co-exist in a nice way. See the mailing lists for discussions around how this is gonna be implemented. Docs and more will follow. Studied the HTTP RFC to find out better how persistant connections should work. Seems cool enough. Daniel (19 February 2001) - Bob Schader brought me two files that help set up a MS VC++ libcurl project easier. He also provided me with an up-to-date libcurl.def file. - I moved a bunch of prototypes from the public <curl/curl.h> file to the library private urldata.h. This is because of the upcoming changes. The low level interface is no longer being planned to become reality. Daniel (15 February 2001) - CURLOPT_POST is not required anymore. Just setting the POST string with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will switch on the HTTP POST. Most other things in libcurl already works this way, i.e they require only the parameter to switch on a feature so I think this works well with the rest. Setting a NULL string switches off the POST again. - Excellent suggestions from Rich Gray, Rick Jones, Johan Nilsson and Bjorn Reese helped me define a way how to incorporate persistant connections into libcurl in a very smooth way. If done right, no change may have to be made to older programs and they will just start using persistant connections when applicable! Daniel (13 February 2001) - Changed the word 'timeouted' to 'timed out' in two different error messages. Suggested by Larry Fahnoe. Version 7.6.1 Daniel (9 February 2001) - Frank Reid and Cain Hopwood provided information and research around a HTTPS PUT/upload problem we seem to have. No solution found yet. Daniel (8 February 2001) - An interesting discussion is how to specify an empty password without having curl ask for it interactively? The current implmentation takes an empty password as a request for a password prompt. However, I still want to support a blank user field. Thus, today if you enter "-u :" (without user and password) curl will prompt for the password. Tricky. How would you specify you want the prompt otherwise? - Made the netrc parse result possible to use for other protocols than FTP and HTTP (such as the upcoming TELNET fixes). - The previously mentioned "MSVC++ problems" turned out to be a non-issue. - Added a HTTP file upload code example in the docs/examples/ section on request. - Adjusted the FTP response fix slightly. Version 7.6.1-pre3 Daniel (7 February 2001) - SM found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that could make libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if libcurl got -1 returned when reading the socket. - I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the results from the proxy connection. Daniel (6 February 2001) - A friendly person named "SM" (nntp at iname.com) pointed out that the VC makefile in src/ needed the libpath set for the debug build to work. - Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver brought up yesterday. Daniel (5 February 2001) - Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to a bunch of different areas within libcurl. - Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler. How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone? Daniel (4 February 2001) - curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options: CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length: size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This was done after discussions with Bob Schader. Daniel (3 February 2001) - Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more recent cygwin installations. It seems they've changed the preset defines to not include WIN32 anymore. Version 7.6.1-pre2 Daniel (31 January 2001) - Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a possibility to weird behaviour all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me find this. - Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested. I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple of compiler options when used. It assumes gcc. Daniel (30 January 2001) - I finally took a stab at the long-term FIXME item I've had on myself, and now libcurl will properly work when doing a HTTP range-request that follows a Location:. Previously that would make libcurl fail saying that the server doesn't seem to support range requests. Daniel (29 January 2001) - I added a test case for the HTTP PUT resume thing (test case 33). Version 7.6.1-pre1 Daniel (29 January 2001) - Yet another Content-Range change. Ok now? Bob Schader checks from his end and it works for him. Daniel (27 January 2001) - So the HTTP PUT resume fix wasn't good. There should appearantly be a Content-Range header when resuming a PUT. - I noticed I broke the download-check that verifies that a resumed HTTP download is actually resumed. It got broke because my new 'httpreq' field in the main curl struct. I should get slapped. I added a test case for this now, so I won't be able to ruin this again without noticing. - Added a test case for content-length verifying when downloading HTTP. - Made the progress meter title say if the transfer is being transfered. It makes the output slightly better for resumes. - When dealing with Location: and HTTP return codes, libcurl will not attempt to follow the spirit of RFC2616 better. It means that when POSTing to a URL that is being following to a second place, the standard will judge on what to do. All HTTP codes except 303 and 305 will cause curl to make a second POST operation. 303 will make a GET and 305 is not yet supported. I also wrote two test cases for this POST/GET/Location stuff.

I also took this opportunity to rename the Curl_strequal function to curl_strequal and Curl_strnequal to curl_strnequal, as they're public libcurl functions (even if they're still undocumented). This will make older programs not capable of using the new libcurl with just a drop-in replacement. - Jörn Hartroth updated stuff for win32 compiles: o config-win32.h was fixed for socklen_t o lib/ssluse.c had a bad #endif placement o lib/file.c was made to compile on win32 again o lib/Makefile.m32 was updated with the new files o lib/libcurl.def matches the current interface state Daniel (13 March 2001) - It only took an hour or so before Jörn Hartroth found a problem in the chunked transfer-encoding. Given his fine example-site, I could easily spot the problem and when I re-read the spec (the part I have pasted in the top of the http_chunks.h file), I realized I had made my state-machine slightly wrong and didn't expect/handle the trailing CRLF that comes after the data in each chunk (and those extra two bytes sure feel wasted). Had to modify test case 34 to match this as well. Version 7.7-beta2 Daniel (13 March 2001) - Added the policy stuff to the curl_easy_setopt man page for the two supported policies. - Implemented some support for the CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY option. The policies CURLCLOSEPOLICY_LEAST_RECENTLY_USED and CURLCLOSEPOLICY_OLDEST are now supported, and the "least recently used" is used as default if no policy is chosen. Daniel (12 March 2001) - Added CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE and CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET to libcurl for seeding the SSL random engine. The random seeding support was also brought to the curl client with the new options --random-file <file> and --egd-file <file>. I need some people to really test this to know they work as supposed. Remember that libcurl now informs (if verbose is on) if the random seed is considered weak (HTTPS connections). - Made the chunked transfer-encoding engine detected bad formatted data length and return error if so (we can't possibly extract sensible data if this is the case). Added a test case that detects this. Number 36. Now there are 60 test cases. - Added 5 new libcurl options to curl/curl.h that can be used to control the persistant connection support in libcurl. They're also documented (fairly thoroughly) in the curl_easy_setopt.3 man page. Three of them are now implemented, although not really tested at this point... Anyway, the new implemented options are named CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, CURLOPT_FRESH_CONNECT, CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE. The ones still left to write code for are: CURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICY and its related option CURLOPT_CLOSEFUNCTION. - Made curl (the actual command line tool) use the new libcurl 7.7 persistant connection support by re-using the same curl handle for every specified file transfer and after some more test case tweaking we have 100% test case OK. I made some test cases return HTTP/1.0 now to make sure that works as well. - Had to add 'Connection: close' to the headers of a bunch of test cases so that curl behaves "old-style" since the test http server doesn't do multiple connections... Now I get 100% test case OK. - The curl.haxx.se site, the main curl mailing list and my personal email are all dead today due to power blackout in the area where the main servers are located. Horrible. - I've made persistance work over a squid HTTP proxy. I find it disturbing that it uses headers that aren't present in any HTTP standard though (Proxy-Connection:) and that makes me feel that I'm now on the edge of what the standard actually defines. I need to get this code excercised on a lot of different HTTP proxies before I feel safe. Now I'm facing the problem with my test suite servers (both FTP and HTTP) not supporting persistant connections and libcurl is doing them now. I have to fix the test servers to get all the test cases do OK. Daniel (8 March 2001) - Guenole Bescon reported that libcurl did output errors to stderr even if MUTE and NOPROGRESS was set. It turned out to be a bug and happens if there's an error and no ERRORBUFFER is set. This is now corrected. Version 7.7-beta1 Daniel (8 March 2001) - "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" is no longer any trouble for libcurl. I've added two source files and I've run some test downloads that look fine. - HTTP HEAD works too, even on 1.1 servers. Daniel (5 March 2001) - The current 57 test cases now pass OK. It would suggest that libcurl works using the old-style with one connection per handle. The test suite doesn't handle multiple connections yet so there are no test cases for this. - I patched the telnet.c heavily to not use any global variables anymore. It should make it a lot nicer library-wise. - The file:// support was modified slightly to use the internal connect-first- then-do approach. Daniel (4 March 2001) - More bugs erased. Version 7.7-alpha2 Daniel (4 March 2001) - Now, there's even a basic check that a re-used connection is still alive before it is assumed so. A few first tests have proven that libcurl will then re-connect instead of re-use the dead connection! Daniel (2 March 2001) - Now they work intermixed as well. Major coolness! - More fiddling around, my 'tiny' client I have for testing purposes now has proved to download both FTP and HTTP with persistant connections. They do not work intermixed yet though. Daniel (1 March 2001) - Wilfredo Sanchez pointed out a minor spelling mistake in a man page and that curl_slist_append() should take a const char * as second argument. It does now. Daniel (22 February 2001) - The persistant connections start to look good for HTTP. On a subsequent request, it seems that libcurl now can pick an already existing connection if a suitable one exists, or it opens a new one. - Douglas R. Horner mailed me corrections to the curl_formparse() man page that I applied. Daniel (20 February 2001) - Added the docs/examples/win32sockets.c file for our windows friends. - Linus Nielsen Feltzing provided brand new TELNET functionality and improvements: * Negotiation is now passive. Curl does not negotiate until the peer does. * Possibility to set negotiation options on the command line, currently only XDISPLOC, TTYPE and NEW_ENVIRON (called NEW_ENV). * Now sends the USER environment variable if the -u switch is used. * Use -t to set telnet options (Linus even updated the man page, awesome!) - Haven't done this big changes to curl for a while. Moved around a lot of struct fields and stuff to make multiple connections get connection specific data in separate structs so that they can co-exist in a nice way. See the mailing lists for discussions around how this is gonna be implemented. Docs and more will follow. Studied the HTTP RFC to find out better how persistant connections should work. Seems cool enough. Daniel (19 February 2001) - Bob Schader brought me two files that help set up a MS VC++ libcurl project easier. He also provided me with an up-to-date libcurl.def file. - I moved a bunch of prototypes from the public <curl/curl.h> file to the library private urldata.h. This is because of the upcoming changes. The low level interface is no longer being planned to become reality. Daniel (15 February 2001) - CURLOPT_POST is not required anymore. Just setting the POST string with CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS will switch on the HTTP POST. Most other things in libcurl already works this way, i.e they require only the parameter to switch on a feature so I think this works well with the rest. Setting a NULL string switches off the POST again. - Excellent suggestions from Rich Gray, Rick Jones, Johan Nilsson and Bjorn Reese helped me define a way how to incorporate persistant connections into libcurl in a very smooth way. If done right, no change may have to be made to older programs and they will just start using persistant connections when applicable! Daniel (13 February 2001) - Changed the word 'timeouted' to 'timed out' in two different error messages. Suggested by Larry Fahnoe. Version 7.6.1 Daniel (9 February 2001) - Frank Reid and Cain Hopwood provided information and research around a HTTPS PUT/upload problem we seem to have. No solution found yet. Daniel (8 February 2001) - An interesting discussion is how to specify an empty password without having curl ask for it interactively? The current implmentation takes an empty password as a request for a password prompt. However, I still want to support a blank user field. Thus, today if you enter "-u :" (without user and password) curl will prompt for the password. Tricky. How would you specify you want the prompt otherwise? - Made the netrc parse result possible to use for other protocols than FTP and HTTP (such as the upcoming TELNET fixes). - The previously mentioned "MSVC++ problems" turned out to be a non-issue. - Added a HTTP file upload code example in the docs/examples/ section on request. - Adjusted the FTP response fix slightly. Version 7.6.1-pre3 Daniel (7 February 2001) - SM found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that could make libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if libcurl got -1 returned when reading the socket. - I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the results from the proxy connection. Daniel (6 February 2001) - A friendly person named "SM" (nntp at iname.com) pointed out that the VC makefile in src/ needed the libpath set for the debug build to work. - Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver brought up yesterday. Daniel (5 February 2001) - Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to a bunch of different areas within libcurl. - Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler. How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone? Daniel (4 February 2001) - curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options: CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length: size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This was done after discussions with Bob Schader. Daniel (3 February 2001) - Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more recent cygwin installations. It seems they've changed the preset defines to not include WIN32 anymore. Version 7.6.1-pre2 Daniel (31 January 2001) - Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a possibility to weird behaviour all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me find this. - Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested. I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple of compiler options when used. It assumes gcc. Daniel (30 January 2001) - I finally took a stab at the long-term FIXME item I've had on myself, and now libcurl will properly work when doing a HTTP range-request that follows a Location:. Previously that would make libcurl fail saying that the server doesn't seem to support range requests. Daniel (29 January 2001) - I added a test case for the HTTP PUT resume thing (test case 33). Version 7.6.1-pre1 Daniel (29 January 2001) - Yet another Content-Range change. Ok now? Bob Schader checks from his end and it works for him. Daniel (27 January 2001) - So the HTTP PUT resume fix wasn't good. There should appearantly be a Content-Range header when resuming a PUT. - I noticed I broke the download-check that verifies that a resumed HTTP download is actually resumed. It got broke because my new 'httpreq' field in the main curl struct. I should get slapped. I added a test case for this now, so I won't be able to ruin this again without noticing. - Added a test case for content-length verifying when downloading HTTP. - Made the progress meter title say if the transfer is being transfered. It makes the output slightly better for resumes. - When dealing with Location: and HTTP return codes, libcurl will not attempt to follow the spirit of RFC2616 better. It means that when POSTing to a URL that is being following to a second place, the standard will judge on what to do. All HTTP codes except 303 and 305 will cause curl to make a second POST operation. 303 will make a GET and 305 is not yet supported. I also wrote two test cases for this POST/GET/Location stuff.

upgrade to 7.7.1. Version 7.7.1 Daniel (3 April 2001) - Puneet Pawaia pointed out two serious problems. Libcurl would attempt to read bad memory during situations when an (ftp) connection attempt failed. Also, the lib/Makefile.vc6 was corrected. - More investigations in the Location: following code made me realize that it was not clean enough to work transparantly with persistant and non- persistant connections. I think I've fixed it now. Daniel (29 March 2001) - Georg Horn mailed me some corrections for the Curl::easy perl interface. - Experimental ftps:// support added. It is basically FTP over SSL for the control connection. It still makes all data transfers going over unencrypted connections. Rainer Weikusat's ftpd-ssl server hack supports this and I used that to verify the functionality. Daniel (27 March 2001) - Guenole Bescon discovered that if you set a CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and then tried to get a file from a site and it fails, the SIGALRM would still be sent after the timeout-time, quite inexpectedly! - I added an ftp transfer example to docs/examples/ and I also wrote a tiny example makefile that can be used as a start when building one of the examples. Version 7.7.1-beta1 Daniel (26 March 2001) - Mohamed Lrhazi reported problems with 7.6.1 and persistant HTTP/1.0 connections (when the server replied a Connection: Keep-Alive) and this problem was not properly dealt with in 7.7 either. A patch was posted to the curl-and-php mailing list. 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) - The configure script now fails with an error message if gethostbyname_r() is detected but it couldn't figure out how to invoke it (what amount of arguments it is supposed to get). Reports from Andrés García made me aware of this need. - Talking with Jim Drash made me finally put the curl_escape and curl_unescape functions in the curl.h include file and write man pages for them. The escape function was modified to use the same interface as the unescape one had. - No bug reports at all on the latest betas. Release time coming up. Version 7.7-beta5 Daniel (19 March 2001) - Georg Ottinger reported problems with using -C together with -L in the sense that the -C info got lost when it was redirected. I could not repeat this problem on the 7.7 branch why I leave this for the moment. Test case 39 was added to do exactly this, and it seems to do right. - Christian Robottom Reis reported how his 7.7 beta didn't successfully do form posts as elegantly as 7.6.1 did. Indeed, this was a flaw in the header engine, as HTTP 1.1 has introduced a new 100 "transient" return code for PUT and POST operations that I need to add support for. Section 8.2.3 in RFC2616 has all the details. Seems to work now! Daniel (16 March 2001) - After having experienced another machine break-down, we're back. - Georg Horn's perl interface Curl::easy is now included in the curl release archive. The perl/ directory is now present. Please help me with docs, examples and updates you think fit. - Made a new php/ directory in the release archive and moved the PHP examples into a subdirectory in there. Not much PHP info yet, but I plan to. Please help me here as well! - Made libcurl return error if a transfer is aborted in the middle of a "chunk". It actually enables libcurl to discover premature transfer aborts even if the Content-Length: size is unknown. Daniel (15 March 2001) - Added --connect-timeout to curl, which sets the new CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT option in libcurl. It limits the time curl is allowed to spend in the connection phase. This differs from -m/--max-time that limits the entire file transfer operation. Requested by Larry Fahnoe and others. I also updated the curl.1 and curl_easy_setopt.3 man pages and removed the item from the TODO. Version 7.7-beta4 Daniel (14 March 2001) - Made curl grok IPv6 with HTTP proxies and got everything to compile nicely again when ENABLE_IPV6 is set. I need to remake things in the test suite. I can't test the FTP parts with curl built for IPv6 as it uses a different set of FTP commands then! - I fell onto a bug report on php.net (posted by Lars Torben Wilson) that was a report meant for our project. Anyway, it said the .netrc parsing didn't work as supposed, and as I agreed with Lars, I made the netrc parser use getpwuid() to figure out the home directory of the effective user and try that netrc. It still uses the environment variable HOME for those that don't have that function or if the user doesn't return valid pwd info. - Edin Kadribaic posted a bug report where he got a crash when a fetch with user+password in the URL followed a Location: to a second URL (absolute, without name+password). This bug has been around for a long while and crashes due to a read at address zero. Fixed now. Wrote test case 38, that tests this. - Modified the test suite's httpserver slightly to append all client request data to its log file so that the test script now better can verify a range of requests and not only the last one, as it did previously. - Updated the curl man page with --random-file and --egd-file details. Version 7.7-beta3 Daniel (14 March 2001) - Björn Stenberg provided similar fixes as Jörn did and some additional patches for non-SSL compiles. - I increased the interface number for libcurl as I've removed the low level functions from the interface. I also took this opportunity to rename the Curl_strequal function to curl_strequal and Curl_strnequal to curl_strnequal, as they're public libcurl functions (even if they're still undocumented). This will make older programs not capable of using the new libcurl with just a drop-in replacement. - Jörn Hartroth updated stuff for win32 compiles: o config-win32.h was fixed for socklen_t o lib/ssluse.c had a bad #endif placement o lib/file.c was made to compile on win32 again o lib/Makefile.m32 was updated with the new files o lib/libcurl.def matches the current interface state Daniel (13 March 2001) - It only took an hour or so before Jörn Hartroth found a problem in the chunked transfer-encoding. Given his fine example-site, I could easily spot the problem and when I re-read the spec (the part I have pasted in the top of the http_chunks.h file), I realized I had made my state-machine slightly wrong and didn't expect/handle the trailing CRLF that comes after the data in each chunk (and those extra two bytes sure feel wasted).

How would you specify you want the prompt otherwise? - Made the netrc parse result possible to use for other protocols than FTP and HTTP (such as the upcoming TELNET fixes). - The previously mentioned "MSVC++ problems" turned out to be a non-issue. - Added a HTTP file upload code example in the docs/examples/ section on request. - Adjusted the FTP response fix slightly. Version 7.6.1-pre3 Daniel (7 February 2001) - SM found a flaw in the response reading function for FTP that could make libcurl not get out of the loop properly when it should, if libcurl got -1 returned when reading the socket. - I found a similar mistake in http.c when using a proxy and reading the results from the proxy connection. Daniel (6 February 2001) - A friendly person named "SM" (nntp at iname.com) pointed out that the VC makefile in src/ needed the libpath set for the debug build to work. - Daniel Gehriger stepped in to assist with the VC++ stuff Robert Weaver brought up yesterday. Daniel (5 February 2001) - Jun-ichiro itojun Hagino brought a big patch that brings IPv6-awareness to a bunch of different areas within libcurl. - Robert Weaver told me about the problems the MS VC++ 6.0 compiler has with the 'static' keyword on a number of libcurl functions. I might need to add a patch that redefines static when libcurl is compiled with that compiler. How do I know when VC++ compiles, anyone? Daniel (4 February 2001) - curl_getinfo() was extended with two new options: CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD and CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_UPLOAD. They return the full assumed content length of the transfer in the given direction. The CURLINFO_CONTENT_LENGTH_DOWNLOAD will be the Content-Length: size of a HTTP download. Added descriptions to the man page as well. This was done after discussions with Bob Schader. Daniel (3 February 2001) - Ingo Ralf Blum provided another fix that makes curl build under the more recent cygwin installations. It seems they've changed the preset defines to not include WIN32 anymore. Version 7.6.1-pre2 Daniel (31 January 2001) - Curl_read() and curl_read() now return a ssize_t for the size, as it had to be able to return -1. The telnet support crashed due to this and there was a possibility to weird behaviour all over. Linus Nielsen Feltzing helped me find this. - Added a configure.in check for a working getaddrinfo() if IPv6 is requested. I also made the configure script feature --enable-debug which sets a couple of compiler options when used. It assumes gcc. Daniel (30 January 2001) - I finally took a stab at the long-term FIXME item I've had on myself, and now libcurl will properly work when doing a HTTP range-request that follows a Location:. Previously that would make libcurl fail saying that the server doesn't seem to support range requests. Daniel (29 January 2001) - I added a test case for the HTTP PUT resume thing (test case 33). Version 7.6.1-pre1 Daniel (29 January 2001) - Yet another Content-Range change. Ok now? Bob Schader checks from his end and it works for him. Daniel (27 January 2001) - So the HTTP PUT resume fix wasn't good. There should appearantly be a Content-Range header when resuming a PUT. - I noticed I broke the download-check that verifies that a resumed HTTP download is actually resumed. It got broke because my new 'httpreq' field in the main curl struct. I should get slapped. I added a test case for this now, so I won't be able to ruin this again without noticing. - Added a test case for content-length verifying when downloading HTTP. - Made the progress meter title say if the transfer is being transfered. It makes the output slightly better for resumes. - When dealing with Location: and HTTP return codes, libcurl will not attempt to follow the spirit of RFC2616 better. It means that when POSTing to a URL that is being following to a second place, the standard will judge on what to do. All HTTP codes except 303 and 305 will cause curl to make a second POST operation. 303 will make a GET and 305 is not yet supported. I also wrote two test cases for this POST/GET/Location stuff.

Update www/curl to version 7.8. PR 13704 by Stoned Elipot. Fixed 7.8 'curl-config --vernum' shows version number as a hexadecimal number libcurl's got two new functions (for global init/cleanup) SSL memory leak fixed new file format for the tests in the test suite netscape/mozilla cookie file parser bugfix everything is now built with autoconf 2.50, libtool 1.4 and automake 1.4-p1 libcurl's own version of 'strlcat' no longer pollutes the name space libcurl now treats an already completed resumed download as a successful operation, and not as an error like before https and ftps test cases added to the test suite (depend on stunnel) better white space awareness when parsing HTTP headers curl -I now plays ball even if the ftp server doesn't grok SIZE corrected resumed transfers on re-used persistent connections FTP PORT works again when libcurl is IPv6-enabled corrected path usage when doing multiple FTP transfers several Location: header related bugs corrected
