This package is the same as www/htmldoc, the only difference is whether or not
the X11 GUI is provided.
This address part of the PR pkg/14557 by <collver@linuxfreemail.com>.
There are really too many changes to mention them all here, previous version
of the package was 20 htmldoc versions behind! See the file CHANGES.txt in the
sources for more details. Anyway you should update.
As suggested in PR pkg/14557 by <collver@linuxfreemail.com> the package had
been strongly buildlinked. This update address part of this PR.
Also introduce support for another package of htmldoc with the X Windows GUI
activated.
qDecoder is a library for CGI programming.
Being a Web Application Interface for C/C++ use, qDecoder is a solution
product for developers. The Query Fetch algorithm of qDecoder based on the
linked-list provides transparency with low layers by the simple library
interface regardless of COOKIE/GET/POST(including File Upload). Thus, it
enables the web based software to be more intuitively designed and
implemented. qDecoder is developed according to the free software model and
is publicly distributed.
Noteable changes from release notes are follows.
See release notes for detail
http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.0/
- Mozilla Composer now implements one button publishing which allows
you to save html documents directly to web sites where you have an
established account.
- Our most frequently reported bug has been fixed. Viewing the source
of a cgi generated page now works properly.
- Mozilla now implements LDAP over SSL and allows LDAP Address Book
replication.
- The following JavaScript statements are now acceptable, as they are
with Netscape Navigator 4.7 and Internet Explorer 6:
for(i in undefined){}
for(i in null){}
var obj; for (i in obj){}
- Improved GB18030 support -- the Unicode surrogate range support is
now available on Windows.
- Linux scaled bitmap font support is available This improves
quality of bitmap font display even when a font does not contain
embedded bitmap fonts in many different sizes.
- There is now a preference to match the browser's default
locale/region to the operating system default. In all.js:
pref("intl.locale.matchOS", false);
When its value is "true", browser will find the system's locale
and set its UI language and region content to match it. For example,
when installing on an English (US) system, on start up, the client
will use English as its UI language and US as its region locale until
a user profile is selected. If a (pair) of locale is defined in the
selected profile, browser will honor the profile locale. In addition,
when cmdline switches, '-UILocale' and/or 'contentLocale', are
present, the cmdline switch takes precedence. (Bug 121744)
Note: Having this preference on is an expensive operation. Therefore,
when this preference is "true", there will be approximately a 30%
increase in startup time.
Bug Fixes:
Ensure that only one argument is given to wwwoffle -o or -O. Some more version
2.7 documentation updates. Fix crash using 'wwwoffle -O|-o|-put|-post <URL>'.
Put refresh URLs in the outgoing directory with correct URL. Delete
auto-generated files in Makefile before re-generating. Choosing 'edit selected
item' in configuration pages shows current values. Fix potential crash with
wwwoffle-hash. Put a DESTDIR variable in Makefile for easier installation.
Fix parsing IPv6 addresses in audit-usage.pl script. Makefile change for
FreeBSD make. Bug fix for the Alias section of the config file. Fix Makefile
for Win32.
New Features:
Allow CGI scripts to be used with the built-in web server.
- Patch from Tai-hwa Liang <avatar@mmlab.cse.yzu.edu.tw>, fixes some
internatilization issues and also adds a chinese big5 po file.
- Fix to FavIcon plugin not compiling in the 0.8.0 release.
- John Mora <skipstone@ragweed.net> first time user of skipstone
discovered that minimum font size was reset everytime skipstone
was restarted, kudos to him! fixed :)

0.2.5 to 0.3 is so big (~ 560 lines), so I only quote release note here. You
may want to look at the demo images before updating this package.
http://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~hsaka/w3m/nec.pnghttp://www2u.biglobe.ne.jp/~hsaka/w3m/mapion.png
o w3m 0.3 - 2002-03-06:
w3m is a pager with WWW capability. It IS a pager, but it can be used
as a text-mode WWW browser.
Major new features in 0.3 release are:
* w3m-img merged: w3m now can display images in terminal emulator on X
window system! see doc/README.img
o w3m-0.2.5.1:
w3m 0.2.5.1 is stable release. It only applies the following patches
(trivial and minor fixes) from CVS:
- fix inputAnswer() and no "ssl_forbid_method" [w3m-dev 02985]
- fix SunOS 4.1.4 build problem [w3m-dev 02972]
- Change my email address
- Require curl-7.9.6
Changes since 0.4.7 :
* Added CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION to allow debug callbacks to be
specified (see the file 'test_debug.py' for details on how to use
debug callbacks).
* Added CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE and
CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT.
* Fixed a segfault when finalizing curl objects in Python 1.5.2.
* Added 'test_post2.py' file which is another example on how to
issue POST requests.
* Added the 'test_post.py' file which demonstrates the use of
POST requests.
* Added CURLOPT_PREQUOTE.
* Other minor code cleanups and bugfixes.
* Do not allow WRITEFUNCTION and WRITEHEADER on the same handle.
- fmt on DESCR
- Regen PLIST
- Remove patch since it was applied
Changes since curl-7.9.5
(Lots of change, here is the recently changes, see CHANGE for more)
- Dirk Manske brought a fix that makes libcurl strip off white
spaces from the beginning of cookie contents.
- Had to patch include/curl/curl.h since MSVC doesn't set the
__STDC__ define. Moonesamy pointed out the problem, Bjorn Reese
the solution.
- Fixed the TIMER_CONNECT to be more accurate for FTP transfers.
Previously FTP transfers got the "connect done" time set after
the initial FTP commands and not directly after the TCP/IP connect
as it should.
- Jean-Philippe Barrette-LaPierre provided his patch that introduces
CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and CURLOPT_DEBUGDATA. They allow a program
to a set a callback to receive debug/information data. That
includes headers and data that is received and sent. CURLOPT_VERBOSE
still controls it.
By default, there is an internal debugfunction that will make
things look and work as before if not changed.
- Sebastien Willemijns found out that -x didn't use the default
port number as is documented. It does now.
- libcurl-errors.3 is a new man page attempting to document all
libcurl error codes
pkgsrc version) include:
* Fixed problem with 'var' command. Variables with similar names
sometimes are confused.
* Check return value for ApacheRequest___parse.
* Fixed bug in Parse command.
* I18n updates.
tomcat makes mistaken assumptions about which revisions of java some
features became available in, and to ensure that the package works with
both jdk-1.1 and later (emulated) jdks.
We are not advancing to the 3.3 or 4.0 branches at the moment, as neither
will work with our native JDK without a lot more work.
Changes since Tomcat 3.2.3 (the last pkgsrc version):
7.1 Fixes and Enhancements in Release 3.2.4
This section highlights the bugs fixed in this release.
- Cookie name expires is a reserved token (#1114)

- AJP12 returned invalid HTTP headers when redirecting to very
long URLS (#2333)
- Fixed casting problem in JspFactoryImpl.getPageContext(). (#4260)
- Setting sesstion-timeout in web.xml did not prevent sessions from
timing out. (#4412)
- Fixed race condition in ServerSocketFactory.getDefault(). (#4418)
- Removed the restrictions on encoded spcecial characters in URLs
that was added as a security precaution in 3.2.3. The encoded
special characters are not decoded and remain the URL and
path info returned to servlets.
- Jk_nt_service now supports the ability to be restarted automatically
by the Windows 2000 service control manager if Tomcat terminates
abnormally.
- Fixed invalid servlet mapping in web.xml generated by JspC (#3474, #3499)

- A Date: HTTP header is now sent in responses when running stand
alone. (#345)
- Simple held on to a reference to removed objects preventing
garbage collection.
- Tomcat 3.2.4 now ships with JAXP 1.1. Prior releases used
JAXP 1.0.1. Tomcat 3.2.4 remains completely compatible with
the older version of JAXP and there is no requirement for users
to upgrade to JAXP 1.1 unless their applications require the new
version.
- Fixed NullPointerException in HttpConnectionHandler. (#4577)
7.2 Security Vulnerabilities fixed in Tomcat 3.2.4
The randomness of generated session ids has been enhanced to prevent the
generation of guessable ids.

into the httpd binary. This may be adjusted by setting APACHE_MODULES in
/etc/mk.conf and defaults to ${DFLT_APACHE_MODULES}, which contains:
all proxy proxy_connect proxy_ftp proxy_http ssl
A complete list of which modules may be built into the Apache httpd server
may be found in the Apache documentation either in the distributed tarball
or on the Apache website (http://httpd.apache.org). An example for adding
mod_deflate is:
APACHE_MODULES= ${DFLT_APACHE_MODULES} deflate
The implementation of this feature uses two tables, _AP_DEPENDS and
_AP_CFG_ARGS, indexed by the module name and that specify respectively
any additional dependencies or configure script options needed for building
the module.
Update www/apache2 to 2.0.35, the first stable release of Apache 2.x.
Pkgsrc changes include:
*) Compiling the included modules statically. Add-ons will be built
dynamically.
*) Match improvements to www/apache rc.d script.
*) Automatically add "Listen 0.0.0.0:80" to the sample config files as the
default install of NetBSD is IPv4/IPv6 and we want the default install of
Apache to work out-of-the-box.
*) Automatically reset the User and Group directives to match the ones for
suEXEC in the config files to ease the use of suEXEC in Apache.
Changes from version 2.0.32 beta include:
*) Small bug fixes across the board.
*) Bug fixes to the various MPMs.
*) Performance improvements.
*) Fixes for mod_include errors on boundary conditions
*) Bug fixes for mod_proxy to prevent hangs and for RFC2616 compliance.

*) Greatly improve mod_cache (disk/mem) [this is disabled in pkgsrc]
*) New scoreboard file implementation that is readable by 3rd-party apps.
*) Allow all Perchild directives to accept either numerical UID/GID
or logical user/group names.
*) Add support for macro expansion within the variable names in
<!--#echo--> and <!--#set--> directives
*) Implement SSLSessionCache shmht and shmcb.
*) New directive ProxyIOBufferSize. Sets the size of the buffer used
when reading from a remote HTTP server in proxy.
*) Scrap CacheMaxExpireMin and CacheDefaultExpireMin. Change
CacheMaxExpire and CacheDefaultExpire to use seconds rather than
hours.
*) New Directive SSIUndefinedEcho. to change the '(none)' echoed
for a undefined variable.
*) Introduce PassPhraseDialog "|/path/to/pipe" mechanism to mod_ssl.
*) New Directive for mod_proxy: ProxyRemoteMatch.
*) Fix IPv6 name-based virtual hosts.
*) Introduce AddOutputFilterByType directive.
*) Upgraded to Apache 1.3.24
*) Support leading whitespaces in commands of SSLLog "|..." directives.
*) Fixed timeout handling on connection establishment by correctly
resetting the timeout on errors.
*) Fixed two memory leaks related to CA certificate configuration.
*) Fixed memory leak related to temporary DH key handling.
*) Fixed memory leak on shutdown if CRLs are used.
*) Fixed remaining SIGBUS problems on SPARC inside SHMCB session
cache implementation.
Relevant changes from version 1.3.23 include:
* Prevent invalid client hostnames from appearing in the log file.
* Various mod_proxy improvements, such as the new ProxyIOBufferSize
directive.
* The new ''IgnoreCase' keyword to the IndexOptions directive.
* mod_rewrite's 'rnd' was broken and has been fixed.
* The '-S' option of 'apxs' was not able to handle quotes; also 'apxs'
is now rebuilt when options are changed.
* proxy now correctly handles Cookies and X-Cache headers.
* Fixed a problem in TPF when we were using the wrong subpool when
opening the error log.
* pthread accept() mutexes on Solaris were broken (since we were
not linking against pthread)
handler (useful for reducing the bandwidth expended in transferring large
plaintext or HTML files). From DESCR:

mod_gzip uses the well established and publicly available IETF
Content-Encoding standards in conjunction with publicy available GZIP
compression libraries such as ZLIB to deliver dynamically compressed
content 'on the fly' to any browser or user-agent that is capable of
receiving it. It is a software based solution that runs perfectly in
conjunction with any Apache Web Server on both UNIX and Win32 platforms.
No additional client side software is required to use this product.
mod_gzip does not require ANY software to be installed on the client
side. There is no accompanying 'Plug-in' or 'Client Proxy' of any kind.
All you need is your current HTTP 1.1 compliant browser. All modern
browsers released since early 1999 are already capable of receiving
compressed Internet content via standard IETF Content Encoding if they
are HTTP 1.1 compliant.
and reviewed by the maintainer, Eric Gillespie <epg@pretzelnet.org>.
Major version changed so that BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.neon bumped.
Part of changes from NEWS:
Changes in release 0.19.1-0.19.3:
* For platforms lacking snprintf or vsnprintf in libc, require trio.
* Add NE_FMT_OFF_T to fix Win32 build (Dan Berlin, Branko Èibej).
* Fix non-SSL build broken in 0.19.1.
* Working SOCKSv5 support (thanks to Torsten Kalix <torsten.kalix@bredex.de>)
* Add missing stubs for ne_ssl_* functions for non-SSL build.
* Fix some error messages in new SSL code.
Changes in release 0.19.0:
* Major API change: ne_session_create now takes (scheme, hostname, port)
arguments: a session is clarified to be "a group of requests to a
certain server".
- removal of ne_session_server, ne_set_secure, and ne_set_proxy_decider
- ne_session_proxy returns void.
- DNS lookups are delayed until request dispatch time.
* Significant improvements to TLS/SSL support:

- add server cert verification callback. An SSL connection to a server
with an unknown CA will now fail unless a verification callback is used.
- enable SSL session caching (performance improvement)
- support for wildcard server certs where commonName is "*.example.com".
- thanks to Tommi Komulainen for the contribution of code from mutt's
IMAP/SSL implementation under the LGPL, from which bits of this were derived.
Changes in release 0.18.4-0.18.5:
* Removed old neon.dsp, neon.dsw.
* Update Win32 build to add OpenSSL and zlib support (Branko Èibej).
* Fixes for Content-Type parsing using ne_content_type_handler (Greg Stein)

This fixes squid's potential security problem.
Changes to Squid-2.4.STABLE6 (March 19, 2002):
- The patch for 2.4.STABLE5 was insufficnetly tested and
introduced a bug that causes frequent assertions when
handling DNS PTR answers.
Changes to Squid-2.4.STABLE5 (March 15, 2002):
- Fixed an array bounds bug in lib/rfc1035.c. This bug
could allow a malicious DNS server to send bogus replies
and corrupt the heap memory.
- Security fix for cross-site scripting security bug.
- Upgraded zlib code to version 1.1.4 (although analog wasn't vulnerable
to the security bug in zlib 1.1.3).

ERRFILE.
- The second argument to SUBDOMAIN can now contain *'s and $'s.
- Added eight new domains to many of the domains files.
- Revised Japanese language files.
Simplified the Makefile.PL:
- the scripts are not longer *.PL files

libcurl usage in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/curl.
XXX A buildlink.mk would be nice to have...
Bump PKGREVISION for the PLIST additions.
---
Version 7.9.5
Daniel (7 March 2002)
- Added docs/KNOWN_BUGS to the release archive.
Daniel (6 March 2002)
- Kevin Roth corrected a flaw in the curl client globbing code that made it
mess up backslashes. This was most notable on windows (cygwin) machines when
using file://.
- Brad provided another fix for building outside the source-tree.
- Ralph Mitchell patched away a few compiler warnings in tests/server/sws.c
Daniel (5 March 2002)
- I noticed that the typedef in curl.h for the progress callback prototype was
wrong and thus applications that used it would not get the proper input
data. It used size_t where the implementation actually uses doubles!
I wish I could blame someone else, but this was my fault. Again.
Version 7.9.5-pre6
Daniel (4 March 2002)
- Cut off the changes done during 2001 from this changelog file and put them
in a separate file (CHANGES.2001), available from CVS of course.
- I removed the multi directory. The example sources were moved to the
docs/examples directory where they belong.
- Wrote 7 new man pages for the current functions in the new multi interface.
They're all still pretty basic, but we can use them as a start and add more
contents to them when we figure out what to write. The large amount of man
pages for libcurl now present made me decide to put them in a new separate
subdirectory in the docs directory. Named libcurl.
- Giuseppe Corbelli provided a template file for the EPM package manager, it
gets generated nicely by the configure script now.
Version 7.9.5-pre5
Daniel (1 March 2002)
- Moved the memanalyze.pl script into the tests/ dir and added it to the
release archives. It was previously only present in the CVS tree.
- Modified the February 17th Host: fix, as bug report #523718 pointed out that
it caused crashes!
- Nico Baggus added more error codes to the VMS stuff.
- Wesley Laxton brought the code that introduced the new CURLOPT_PREQUOTE
option. It is just another FTP quote option that allows the user to specify
a list of FTP commands to issue *just before* the transfer command (RETR or
STOR etc). It has turned up a few systems that really need this.
The curl command line tool can also take advantage of this by prefixing the
quote commands with a plus (+) in similar style that post transfer quote
commands are specified.
This is not yet documented. There is no test case for this yet.
Daniel (28 February 2002)
- Ralph Mitchell made some serious efforts and put a lot of sweat in setting
up scripts and things for me to be able to repeat his problems, and I
finally could. I found a problem with the header byte counter that wasn't
increased properly and thus we could return CURLE_GOT_NOTHING when we in
fact had received data.
Daniel (27 February 2002)
- I had to revert the non-space parsing cookie fix I posted to the mailing
list. Expire dates do have spaces and still need to get parsed properly!
Instead we just ignore trailing white space and it seems to work...
Daniel (26 February 2002)
- Made the cookie property 'Max-Age' work, just since we already tried to
support it, it is better to do it right. No one uses this anyway.
- The cookie parser could crash if a really weird (illegal) cookie line was
received. I also made it better discard really oddly formatted lines better.
Made the cookie jar store the second field from the left using the syntax
that Netscape and Mozilla probably like. Curl itself ignores it.
Added test case 31 for these cases.
Clay Loveless' email regarding some cookie issues started my cleanup.
- Kevin Roth pointed out that my automake fiddles broke the ability to build
outside the source-tree and I posted a patch to the mailing list that brings
this ability back.
Version 7.9.5-pre4
Daniel (25 February 2002)
- Fiddled with the automake files to make all source files in the lib
directory not have ../src in the include path, and the src sources shouldn't
have ../lib!
- All 79 test cases ran OK under Linux and Solaris using the new HTTP server
in the test suite. The new HTTP server was first donated by Georg Horn and
subsequently modified to work with the test suite. It is currently still not
portable enough to run on "all over" but this is a start and I can run all
curl tests on my machines. This is an important requirement for the upcoming
public release.
- Using -d and -I on the same command line now reports an error, as it implies
two different HTTP requests that can't be mixed.
- Jeffrey Pohlmeyer provided a patch that made the -w/--write-out option
support %{content_type} to get the content type of the recent download.
- Kevin Roth reported that pre2 and pre3 didn't compile properly on cygwin,
and this was because I used #ifdef HAVE_WINSOCK_H in lib/multi.h to figure
out if we could include winsock.h which turns out not to be a wise choice to
do on cygwin since it has the file but can't include it!
Daniel (22 February 2002)
- Added src/config-vms.h to the release archive.
- Fixed the connection timeout value again, the change from February 18 wasn't
complete.
Version 7.9.5-pre3
Daniel (21 February 2002)
- Kevin Roth and Andrés García both found out that lib/config.h.in was missing
in the pre-release archive and thus the configure script failed.
Version 7.9.5-pre2
Daniel (20 February 2002)
- Andrés García provided a solution to bug report #515228. the total time
counter was not set correctly when -I was used during some conditions (all
headers were read in one single read).
- Nico Baggus provided a huge patch with minor tweaks all over to make curl
compile nicely on VMS.
Daniel (19 February 2002)
- Rick Richardson found out that by replacing PF_UNSPEC with PF_INET in the
getaddrinfo() calls, he could speed up some name resolving calls with an
order of magnitudes on his Redhat Linux 7.2.
- Philip Gladstone found a second INADDR_NONE problem where we used long
intead of in_addr_t which caused 64bit problemos. We really shouldn't define
that on two different places.
Daniel (18 February 2002)
- Philip Gladstone found a problem in how HTTP requests were sent if the
request couldn't be sent all at once.
- Emil found and corrected a bad connection timeout comparison that made curl
use the longest of connect-timeout and timout as a timeout value, instead of
the shortest as it was supposed to!
- Aron Roberts provided updated information about LDAP URL syntax to go into
the manual as a replacement for the old references.
Daniel (17 February 2002)
- Philip Gladstone pointed out two missing include files that made curl core
dump on 64bit architectures. We need to pay more attention on these details.
It is *lethal* to for example forget the malloc() prototype, as 'int' is
32bit and malloc() must return a 64bit pointer on these platforms.
- Giaslas Georgios fixed a problem with Host: headers on repeated requests on
the same handle using a proxy.
Daniel (8 February 2002)
- Hanno L. Kranzhoff accurately found out that disabling the Expect: header
when doing multipart formposts didn't work very well. It disabled other
parts of the request header too, resulting in a broken header. When I fixed
this, I also noticed that the Content-Type wasn't possible to disable. It is
now, even though it probably is really stupid to try to do this (because of
the boundary string that is included in the internally generated header,
used as form part separator.)
Daniel (7 February 2002)
- I moved the config*.h files from the root directory to the lib/ directory.
- I've added the new test suite HTTP server to the CVS repository, It seems to
work pretty good now, but we must make it get used by the test scripts
properly and then we need to make sure that it compiles, builds and runs on
most operating systems.
Version 7.9.5-pre1
Daniel (6 February 2002)
- Miklos Nemeth provided updated windows makefiles and INSTALL docs.
- Mr Larry Fahnoe found a problem with formposts and I managed to track down
and patch this bug. This was actually two bugs, as the posted size was also
said to be two bytes too large.
- Brent Beardsley found out and brought a correction for the
CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE parser that was off one byte. This was my fault, I
accidentaly broke Giaslas Georgios' patch.
Daniel (5 February 2002)
- Kevin Roth found yet another SSL download problem.
Version 7.9.4
- no changes since pre-release
Version 7.9.4-pre2
Daniel (3 February 2002)
- Eric Melville provided a few spelling corrections in the curl man page.
Daniel (1 February 2002)
- Andreas Damm corrected the unconditional use of gmtime() in getdate, it now
uses gmtime_r() on all hosts that have it.
Daniel (31 January 2002)
- An anonymous bug report identified a problem in the DNS caching which made it
sometimes allocate one byte too little to store the cache entry in. This
happened when the port number started with 1!
- Albert Chin provided a patch that improves the gethostbyname_r() configure
check on HP-UX 11.00.
Version 7.9.4-pre1
Daniel (30 January 2002)
- Georg Horn found another way the SSL reading failed due to the non-blocking
state of the sockets! I fixed.
Daniel (29 January 2002)
- Multipart formposts now send the full request properly, including the CRLF.
They were previously treated as part of the post data.
- The upload byte counter bugged.
- T. Bharath pointed out that we seed SSL on every connect, which is a time-
consuming operation that should only be needed to do once. We patched
libcurl to now only seed on the first connect when unseeded. The seeded
status is global so it'll now only happen once during a program's life time.
If the random_file or egdsocket is set, the seed will be re-made though.
- Giaslas Georgios introduced CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE that lets
curl_easy_getinfo() read the content-type from the previous request.
Daniel (28 January 2002)
- Kjetil Jacobsen found a way to crash curl and after much debugging, it
turned out it was a IPv4-linux only problem introduced in 7.9.3 related to
name resolving.
- Andreas Damm posted a huge patch that made the curl_getdate() function fully
reentrant!
- Steve Marx pointed out that you couldn't mix CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST with
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS. You can now!
Daniel (25 January 2002)
- Krishnendu Majumdar pointed out that the header length counter was not reset
between multiple requests on the same handle.
- Pedro Neves rightfully questioned why curl always append \r\n to the data
that is sent in HTTP POST requests. Unfortunately, this broke the test suite
as the test HTTP server is lame enough not to deal with this... :-O
- Following Location: headers when the connection didn't close didn't work as
libcurl didn't properly stop reading. This problem was added in 7.9.3 due to
the restructured internals. 'Frank' posted a bug report about this.
Daniel (24 January 2002)
- Kevin Roth very quickly spotted that we wrongly installed the example
programs that were built in the multi directory, when 'make install' was
used. :-/
Version 7.9.3
Daniel (23 January 2002)
- Andrés García found a persistancy problem when doing HTTP HEAD, that made
curl "hang" until the connection was closed by the server. This problem has
been introduced in 7.9.3 due to internal rewrites, this was not present in
7.9.2.
Version 7.9.3-pre4
Daniel (19 January 2002)
- Antonio filed bug report #505514 and provided a fix! When doing multipart
formposts, libcurl would include an error text in the actual post if a
specified file wasn't found. This is not libcurl's job. Instead we add an
empty part.
Daniel (18 January 2002)
- Played around with stricter compiler warnings for gcc (when ./configure
--enable-debug is used) and changed some minor things to stop the warnings.
- Commented out the 'long long' and 'long double' checks in configure.in, as
we don't currently use them anyway and the code in lib/mprintf.c that use
them causes warnings.
- Saul Good and jonatan pointed out Mac OS X build problems with pre3 and how
to correct them. Two compiler warnings were removed as well.
- Andrés García fixed two minor mingw32 building problems.
Version 7.9.3-pre3
Daniel (17 January 2002)
- docs/libcurl-the-guide is a new tutorial for our libcurl programming
friends.
- Richard Archer brought back the ability to compile and build with OpenSSL
versions before 0.9.5.
[http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100976&aid=504163&group_id=976]
- The DNS cache code didn't take the port number into account, which made it
work rather bad on IPv6-enabled hosts (especially when doing passive
FTP). Sterling fixed it.
Daniel (16 January 2002)
- Georg Horn could make a transfer time-out without error text. I found it and
corrected it.
- SSL writes didn't work, they return an uninitialized value that caused
havoc all over. Georg Horn experienced this.
- Kevin Roth patched the curl_version() function to use the proper OpenSSL
function for version information. This way, curl will report the version of
the SSL library actually running right now, not the one that had its headers
installed when libcurl was built. Mainly intersting when running with shared
OpenSSL libraries.
Version 7.9.3-pre2
Daniel (16 January 2002)
- Mofied the main transfer loop and related stuff to deal with non-blocking
sockets in the upload section. While doing this, I've now separated the
connection oriented buffers to have one for downloads and one for uploads
(as two can happen simultaneously). I also shrunk the buffers to 20K
each. As we have a scratch buffer twice the size of the upload buffer, we
arrived at 80K for buffers compared with the previous 150K.
- Added the --cc option to curl-config command as it enables so very cool
one-liners. Have a go a this one, building the simple.c example:
$ `curl-config --cc --cflags --libs` -o example simple.c
Daniel (14 January 2002)
- I made all socket reads (recv) handle EWOULDBLOCK. I hope nicely. Now we
only need to address all writes (send) too and then I'm ready for another
pre-release...
- Stoned Elipot patched the in_addr_t configure test to make it work better on
more platforms.
Daniel (9 January 2002)
- Cris Bailiff found out that filling up curl's SSL session cache caused a
crash!
- Posted the curl questionnaire on the web site. If you haven't posted your
opinions there yet, go there and do it now while it is still there:
http://curl.haxx.se/q/
- Georg Horn quickly found out that the SSL reading no longer worked as
supposed since the switch to non-blocking sockets. I've made a quick patch
(for reading only) but we should improve it even further.
Version 7.9.3-pre1
Daniel (7 January 2002)
- I made the 'bool' typedef use an "unsigned char". It makes it the same on
all platforms, no matter what the platform thinks the default format for
char is. This was noticed since we made a silly comparison involving such a
bool variable, and only one compiler/platform combination (on Debian Linux)
complained about it (that happened to have its char unsigned by default).
- Bug report #495290 identified a cookie parsing problem that was corrected.
When a Set-Cookie: line is received without a trailing semicolon, libcurl
didn't read the last "name=value" pair of the line, leading to confusions...
- Sterling committed his updated DNS cache code.
- I worked with Georg Horn and comments from Götz Babin-Ebell and switched
curl's socket operations completely over to non-blocking for the entire
operation (previously we used non-blocking only for the connection phase).
We had to do this to make the SSL connection phase timeout properly without
the use of signals. A little extra code to deal with this was added.
- T. Bharath pointed out a slightly obscure cookie engine flaw.
- Pete Su pointed out that libcurl didn't treat HTTP code 204 as it should.
204-replies never provides a response-body. This resulted in bad persistant
behavior when 204 was received.
Daniel (5 January 2002)
- SM updated the VC++ library Makefiles for the new source files.
Daniel (4 January 2002)
- I discovered that we wrongly used inet_ntoa() (instead of inet_ntoa_r() in
two places in the source code). One happened with VERBOSE set on connects,
and the other when VERBOSE was on and krb4 over nat was used... I honestly
don't think anyone has suffered from these mistakes.
- I replaced a lot of silly occurances of printf() to instead use the more
appropriate Curl_infof() or Curl_failf(). The krb4 and telnet code were
affected.
- Philip Gladstone found a few more problems with 64-bit archs (the 64-bit
sparc on solaris 8).
- After discussions on the libcurl list with Raoul Cridlig, I just made FTP
response lines get passed to the header callback if such a one is
registered. It'll make it possible for any application to get all the
responses an FTP server sends to libcurl.
Daniel (3 January 2002)
- Sterling Hughes brought a few buckets of code. Now, libcurl will
automatically cache DNS lookups and re-use the previous results first if any
such is available. It greatly improves speed when doing many repeated
operations to the same host.
- As the test case uses --include and then --head, I had to modify src/main.c
to deal with this situation slightly better than previously. When done, we
have 100% good tests again in the main branch.
Daniel (2 January 2002)
- Made test case 25 run again in the multi-dev branch. But it seems that the
changes done on dec-20 made test case 104 cease to work (in both branches).
- Philip Gladstone pointed out a few portability problems in the source code
that didn't compile on 64-bit sparcs using Sun's native
