Changes since 0.23.5:
* Fixes for error handling in socket layer on Win32 from Johan Lindh and
Sergey N Ushakov:
* meaningful error messages rather than "No error"
* handle persistent connection timeouts properly
* Fix to use RFC2617-style digest auth when possible (had reverted to
only using RFC2068-style in 0.16.1).
* Fix NULL pointer dereference on certain ill-formed PROPFIND responses.
* Allow ne_sock_init to re-initialize after ne_sock_finish has been
called (Sergey N Ushakov).
Changes in the package:
* Switch to libxml2.
Excerpt of changes (+portability and bug fixes):
* Add support for `--la-file' argument to neon-config, which prints the
full path of the installed libneon.la file.
* Improved address resolver (ne_addr_*) replacing ne_name_lookup():
- use getaddrinfo() if found; include support for IPv6 (based on work
by Noriaki Takamiya)
* For a hostname with multiple addresses, each address is tried in turn
until a connection is made.
* RFC2818 compliance for certificate identity checks in SSL:
- use `dNSname' values in subjectAltName extension if present
- hostname comparison fixed to not be case-sensitive
* Added NE_DBG_SSL debug channel.
* ne_strerror changed to return the passed-in buffer.
* Added ne_strnzcpy macro to ne_string.h.
* Added reference documentation:
- ne_sock_init, ne_addr_*.
* Remove the const qualifier from the reason_phrase field in ne_status.
- ne_parse_statusline() now strdup's the reason_phrase
* Remove the status_line argument from ne_207_end_propstat and _end_response
* Change ne_session_create, ne_session_proxy, ne_sock_connect, and the
'port' field of the ne_uri structure to use an unsigned int for port numbers
* ne_uri_defaultport returns unsigned and '0' on an unknown port (not -1).
* Changes to hooks interface:
- pass an ne_request pointer to per-request hooks
- replace "accessor" hooks with ne_{get,set}_{request,session}_private
* Authentication changes:
- the hooks changes fix a segfault if auth is enabled for an SSL session
through a proxy server
- fix ne_forget_auth segfault if either proxy or server auth are not used
* Improvements to persistent connection retry logic and error handling
in request code; fixing some cases where some errors where incorrectly
treated as a persistent connection timeout
- a TCP RST at the appropriate time is now treated as a persistent
connection timeout.
- handle persistent connection timeouts on SSL connections
* Changes to SSL support:
- improved error handling
- fix for proxy CONNECT tunnelling with some proxies (e.g. Traffic-Server)
- fix potential segfault if client cert. provider callback is used
- fix to use supplied password callback for PEM-encoded client certificates
(Daniel Berlin)
* Remove ne_read_file().
* ne_version_match replaces ne_version_minimum (semantics changed slightly).
* XML request bodies use a content-type of "application/xml" now;
applications can use NE_XML_MEDIA_TYPE from ne_xml.h
buildlink2.mk files back into the main trunk. This provides sufficient
buildlink2 infrastructure to start merging other packages from the
buildlink2 branch that have already been converted to use the buildlink2
framework.
Changes in release 0.21.3:
* Fix segfault if using proxy server with SSL session and server
certificate verification fails.
* Fix leak of proxy hostname once per session (if a proxy is used).
* Add --with-libs configure argument; e.g. --with-libs=/usr/local picks
up any support libraries in /usr/local/{lib,include}
Changes in release 0.21.2:
* Fix 'make install' for VPATH builds.
* Use $(mandir) for installing man pages (Rodney Dawes).
* Follow some simple (yet illegal) relativeURI redirects.
* Always build ne_compress.obj in Win32 build (Branko Èibej).
* Fix decompression logic bug (Justin Erenkrantz <jerenkrantz@apache.org>)
(could give a decompress failure for particular responses)
* Fix ne_proppatch() to submit lock tokens for available locks.
* More optimisation of ne_sock_readline.
Changes in release 0.21.1:
* Don't include default SSL port in Host request header, which can
help interoperability with misbehaving servers (thanks to Rodney Dawes
<dobey@ximian.com>).
* Don't give a "truncated response" error from ne_decompress_destroy if
the acceptance function returns non-zero.
* Fix for Win32 build (Sander Striker <striker@apache.org>).
* Fix for cookie name/value being free()d (thanks to Dan Mullen).
* Optimisation of ne_sock_readline.
Changes in release 0.21.0:
* Socket layer implements read buffering; efficiency and performance
improvement. Based on work by Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>
* Cleanup of socket interface:
- renamed everything, s/sock_/ne_sock_/, s/SOCK_/NE_SOCK_/
- removed unused and inappropriate interfaces.
- renaming done by Olof Oberg <mill@pedgr571.sn.umu.se>
- see src/ChangeLog for the gory details.
* Fix typoed 'ne_destroy_fn' typedef (Olof Oberg).
* Support OpenSSL/ENGINE branch.
* Bogus ne_utf8_encode/decode functions removed.
* ne_base64() moved to ne_string.[ch].
* ne_token drops 'quotes' parameter; ne_qtoken added.
* ne_buffer_create_sized renamed to ne_buffer_ncreate.
* ne_xml_get_attr takes extra arguments and can resolve namespaces.
* ne_accept_response function type takes const ne_status pointer.
* Drop support for automatically following redirects:
- ne_redirect_register just takes a session pointer
- ne_redirect_location returns an ne_uri pointer
* configure changes: --with-ssl and --with-socks no longer take a directory
argument. To use SOCKS or SSL libraries/headers in non-system locations,
use ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/... LDFLAGS=-L/...
* Reference documentation included for most of ne_alloc.h and ne_string.h,
and parts of ne_session.h and ne_request.h.
- see installed man pages, HTML documentation.
Changes in release 0.20.0:
* Major changes to DAV lock handling interface (ne_locks.h):
- struct ne_lock uses a full URI structure to identify locked resource
- ne_lock() requires that owner/token fields are malloc-allocated (or NULL)
on entry
- introduce a "lock store" type, ne_lock_store, to replace the lock session;
accessor functions all renamed to ne_lockstore_*.
- ne_lock_iterate replaced with a first/next "cursor"-style interface
- If: headers use an absoluteURI (RFC2518 compliance fix).
- fix for handling shared locks on DAV servers which return many active locks
in the LOCK response (thanks to Keith Wannamaker)
* Moved URI/path manipulation functions under ne_* namespace (ne_uri.h):
- path handling functions renamed to ne_path_*
- URI structure handling to ne_uri_*; struct uri becomes ne_uri.
- ne_uri_parse doesn't take a 'defaults' parameter any more
- if URI port is unspecified, ne_uri_parse sets port to 0 not -1.
- added ne_uri_unparse and ne_uri_defaultport functions.
* New 'ne_fill_server_uri' function to initialize a URI structure with
the server details for a given session (useful with locks interface).
* ne_decompress_{reader,destroy} are defined as passthrough-functions
if zlib support is not enabled.
* API change: ne_ssl_provide_fn returns void not int.
* Added NE_SSL_FAILMASK for verify failure sanity check.
* Removed return codes NE_SERVERAUTH and and NE_AUTHPROXY; correct
documentation, NE_PROXYAUTH is given for proxy auth failure.
* Require zlib >= 1.1.4 to avoid possible vulnerability in earlier versions.
See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.
(version check can be skipped by passing --with-force-zlib to configure)
* New 'ne_ssl_readable_dname' function to create a human-readable string
from an X509 distinguished name.
* Fix support for newer versions of libxml2 (thanks to Jon Trowbridge
<trow@gnu.org>).
* Fix corruption of reason_phrase in status object returned by
ne_propset_status.
* More lenient handling of whitespace in response headers.
* ne_content_type_handler will give a charset of "ISO-8859-1" if no charset
parameter is specified for a text/* media type (as per RFC2616).
* Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes (Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>).
Changes in release 0.19.4:
* Support bundled build of expat 1.95.x (Branko Èibej).
Update submitted by Joel Wilsson <joelw@unix.se> in PR 17812.
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:
- SSL is enabled if scheme passed to ne_session_create is "https"
- new interfaces to load CA certs and to load SSL library's bundled CA certs
- 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)
- also now parses the charset parameter from header value.
* Removed ne_concat() function, which didn't work and wasn't used.
neon is an HTTP and WebDAV client library. It provides lower-level
interfaces which directly implement new HTTP methods, and higher-level
interfaces so that you don't have to worry about the lower-level
stuff.

The only modification was to use pkgsrc's libtool.
