Version 7.20.0 (9 February 2010)
Daniel Stenberg (9 Feb 2010)
- When downloading compressed content over HTTP and the app asked libcurl to
automatically uncompress it with the CURLOPT_ENCODING option, libcurl could
wrongly provide the callback with more data than the maximum documented
amount. An application could thus get tricked into badness if the maximum
limit was trusted to be enforced by libcurl itself (as it is documented).
This is further detailed and explained in the libcurl security advisory
20100209 at
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20100209.html
Daniel Fandrich (3 Feb 2010)
- Changed the Watcom makefiles to make them easier to keep in sync with
Makefile.inc since that can't be included directly.
Yang Tse (2 Feb 2010)
- Symbol CURL_FORMAT_OFF_T now obsoleted, will be removed in a future release,
symbol will not be available when building with CURL_NO_OLDIES defined. Use
of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T is preferred since 7.19.0
Daniel Stenberg (1 Feb 2010)
- Using the multi_socket API, it turns out at times it seemed to "forget"
connections (which caused a hang). It turned out to be an existing (7.19.7)
bug in libcurl (that's been around for a long time) and it happened like
this:
The app calls curl_multi_add_handle() to add a new easy handle, libcurl will
then set it to timeout in 1 millisecond so libcurl will tell the app about
it.
The app's timeout fires off that there's a timeout, the app calls libcurl as
we so often document it:
do {
res = curl_multi_socket_action(... TIMEOUT ...);
} while(CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM == res);
And this is the problem number one:
When curl_multi_socket_action() is called with no specific handle, but only
a timeout-action, it will *only* perform actions within libcurl that are
marked to run at this time. In this case, the request would go from INIT to
CONNECT and return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM. When the app then calls libcurl
again, there's no timer set for this handle so it remains in the CONNECT
state. The CONNECT state is a transitional state in libcurl so it reports no
sockets there, and thus libcurl never tells the app anything more about that
easy handle/connection.
libcurl _does_ set a 1ms timeout for the handle at the end of
multi_runsingle() if it returns CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM, but since the loop
is instant the new job is not ready to run at that point (and there's no
code that makes libcurl call the app to update the timout for this new
timeout). It will simply rely on that some other timeout will trigger later
on or that something else will update the timeout callback. This makes the
bug fairly hard to repeat.
The fix made to adress this issue:
We introduce a loop in lib/multi.c around all calls to multi_runsingle() and
simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
The downside of this fix, is that the counter we return in 'running_handles'
in several of our public functions then gets a slightly new and possibly
confusing behavior during times:
If an app adds a handle that fails to connect (very quickly) it may just
as well never appear as a 'running_handle' with this fix. Previously it
would first bump the counter only to get it decreased again at next call.
Even I have used that change in handle counter to signal "end of a
transfer". The only *good* way to find the end of a individual transfer
is calling curl_multi_info_read() to see if it returns one.
Of course, if the app previously did the looping before it checked the
counter, it really shouldn't be any new effect.
Yang Tse (26 Jan 2010)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis' and Joshua Kwan's work done in the last four months
relative to the asynchronous DNS lookups, along with with some integration
adjustments I have done are finally committed to CVS.
Currently these enhancements will benefit builds done using c-ares on any
platform as well as Windows builds using the default threaded resolver.
This release does not make generally available POSIX threaded DNS lookups
yet. There is no configure option to enable this feature yet. It is possible
to experimantally try this feature running configure with compiler flags that
make simultaneous definition of preprocessor symbols USE_THREADS_POSIX and
HAVE_PTHREAD_H, as well as whatever reentrancy compiler flags and linker ones
are required to link and properly use pthread_* functions on each platform.
Daniel Stenberg (26 Jan 2010)
- Mike Crowe made libcurl return CURLE_COULDNT_RESOLVE_PROXY when it is the
proxy that cannot be resolved when using c-ares. This matches the behaviour
when not using c-ares.
Bj
- Added a new flag: -J/--remote-header-name. This option tells the
-O/--remote-name option to use the server-specified Content-Disposition
filename instead of extracting a filename from the URL.
Daniel Stenberg (21 Jan 2010)
- Chris Conroy brought support for RTSP transfers, and with it comes 8(!) new
libcurl options for controlling what to get and how to receive posssibly
interleaved RTP data.
Daniel Stenberg (20 Jan 2010)
- As was pointed out on the http-state mailing list, the order of cookies in a
HTTP Cookie: header _needs_ to be sorted on the path length in the cases
where two cookies using the same name are set more than once using
(overlapping) paths. Realizing this, identically named cookies must be
sorted correctly. But detecting only identically named cookies and take care
of them individually is harder than just to blindly and unconditionally sort
all cookies based on their path lengths. All major browsers also already do
this, so this makes our behavior one step closer to them in the cookie area.
Test case 8 was the only one that broke due to this change and I updated it
accordingly.
Daniel Stenberg (19 Jan 2010)
- David McCreedy brought a fix and a new test case (129) to make libcurl work
again when downloading files over FTP using ASCII and it turns out that the
final size of the file is not the same as the initial size the server
reported. This is very common since servers don't take the newline
conversions into account.
Kamil Dudka (14 Jan 2010)
- Suppressed side effect of OpenSSL configure checks, which prevented NSS from
being properly detected under certain circumstances. It had been caused by
strange behavior of pkg-config when handling PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR. pkg-config
distinguishes among empty and non-existent environment variable in that case.
Daniel Stenberg (12 Jan 2010)
- Gil Weber reported a peculiar flaw with the multi interface when doing SFTP
transfers: curl_multi_fdset() would return -1 and not set and file
descriptors several times during a transfer of a single file. It turned out
to be due to two different flaws now fixed. Gil's excellent recipe helped me
nail this.
Daniel Stenberg (11 Jan 2010)
- Made sure that the progress callback is repeatedly called at a regular
interval even during very slow connects.
- The tests/runtests.pl script now checks to see if the test case that runs is
present in the tests/data/Makefile.am and outputs a notice message on the
screen if not. Each test file has to be included in that Makefile.am to get
included in release archives and forgetting to add files there is a common
mistake. This is an attempt to make it harder to forget.
Daniel Stenberg (9 Jan 2010)
- Johan van Selst found and fixed a OpenSSL session ref count leak:
ossl_connect_step3() increments an SSL session handle reference counter on
each call. When sessions are re-used this reference counter may be
incremented many times, but it will be decremented only once when done (by
Curl_ossl_session_free()); and the internal OpenSSL data will not be freed
if this reference count remains positive. When a session is re-used the
reference counter should be corrected by explicitly calling
SSL_SESSION_free() after each consecutive SSL_get1_session() to avoid
introducing a memory leak.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2926284)
Daniel Stenberg (7 Jan 2010)
- Make sure the progress callback is called repeatedly even during very slow
name resolves when c-ares is used for resolving.
Claes Jakobsson (6 Jan 2010)
- Julien Chaffraix fixed so that the fragment part in an URL is not sent
to the server anymore.
Kamil Dudka (3 Jan 2010)
- Julien Chaffraix eliminated a duplicated initialization in singlesocket().
Daniel Stenberg (2 Jan 2010)
- Make curl support --ssl and --ssl-reqd instead of the previous FTP-specific
versions --ftp-ssl and --ftp-ssl-reqd as these options are now used to
control SSL/TLS for IMAP, POP3 and SMTP as well in addition to FTP. The old
option names are still working but the new ones are the ones listed and
documented.
Daniel Stenberg (1 Jan 2010)
- Ingmar Runge enhanced libcurl's FTP engine to support the PRET command. This
command is a special "hack" used by the drftpd server, but even though it is
a custom extension I've deemed it fine to add to libcurl since this server
seems to survive and people keep using it and want libcurl to support
it. The new libcurl option is named CURLOPT_FTP_USE_PRET, and it is also
usable from the curl tool with --ftp-pret. Using this option on a server
that doesn't support this command will make libcurl fail.
I added test cases 1107 and 1108 to verify the functionality.
The PRET command is documented at
http://www.drftpd.org/index.php/Distributed_PASV
Yang Tse (30 Dec 2009)
- Steven M. Schweda improved VMS build system, and Craig A. Berry helped
with the patch and testing.
Daniel Stenberg (26 Dec 2009)
- Renato Botelho and Peter Pentchev brought a patch that makes the libcurl
headers work correctly even on FreeBSD systems before v8.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2916915)
Daniel Stenberg (17 Dec 2009)
- David Byron fixed Curl_ossl_cleanup to actually call ENGINE_cleanup when
available.
- Follow-up fix for the proxy fix I did for Jon Nelson's bug. It turned out I
was a bit too quick and broke test case 1101 with that change. The order of
some of the setups is sensitive. I now changed it slightly again to make
sure we do them in this order:
1 - parse URL and figure out what protocol is used in the URL
2 - prepend protocol:// to URL if missing
3 - parse name+password off URL, which needs to know what protocol is used
(since only some allows for name+password in the URL)
4 - figure out if a proxy should be used set by an option
5 - if no proxy option, check proxy environment variables
6 - run the protocol-specific setup function, which needs to have the proxy
already set
Daniel Stenberg (15 Dec 2009)
- Jon Nelson found a regression that turned out to be a flaw in how libcurl
detects and uses proxies based on the environment variables. If the proxy
was given as an explicit option it worked, but due to the setup order
mistake proxies would not be used fine for a few protocols when picked up
from '[protocol]_proxy'. Obviously this broke after 7.19.4. I now also added
test case 1106 that verifies this functionality.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2913886)
Daniel Stenberg (12 Dec 2009)
- IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support and their TLS versions (including IMAPS, POP3S
and SMTPS) are now supported. The current state may not yet be solid, but
the foundation is in place and the test suite has some initial support for
these protocols. Work will now persue to make them nice libcurl citizens
until release.
The work with supporting these new protocols was sponsored by
networking4all.com - thanks!
Daniel Stenberg (10 Dec 2009)
- Siegfried Gyuricsko found out that the curl manual said --retry would retry
on FTP errors in the transient 5xx range. Transient FTP errors are in the
4xx range. The code itself only tried on 5xx errors that occured _at login_.
Now the retry code retries on all FTP transfer failures that ended with a
4xx response.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2911279)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis figured out a case which would lead to libcurl
accessing alredy freed memory and thus crash when using HTTPS (with
OpenSSL), multi interface and the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION and a certain order
of cleaning things up. I fixed it.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220)
Daniel Stenberg (7 Dec 2009)
- Martin Storsjo made libcurl use the Expect: 100-continue header for posts
with unknown size. Previously it was only used for posts with a known size
larger than 1024 bytes.
Daniel Stenberg (1 Dec 2009)
- If the Expect: 100-continue header has been set by the application through
curl_easy_setopt with CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, the library should set
data->state.expect100header accordingly - the current code (in 7.19.7 at
least) doesn't handle this properly. Martin Storsjo provided the fix!
Yang Tse (28 Nov 2009)
- Added Diffie-Hellman parameters to several test harness certificate files in
PEM format. Required by several stunnel versions used by our test harness.
Daniel Stenberg (28 Nov 2009)
- Markus Koetter provided a polished and updated version of Chad Monroe's TFTP
rework patch that now integrates TFTP properly into libcurl so that it can
be used non-blocking with the multi interface and more. BLKSIZE also works.
The --tftp-blksize option was added to allow setting the TFTP BLKSIZE from
the command line.
Daniel Stenberg (26 Nov 2009)
- Extended and fixed the change I did on Dec 11 for the the progress
meter/callback during FTP command/response sequences. It turned out it was
really lame before and now the progress meter SHOULD get called at least
once per second.
Daniel Stenberg (23 Nov 2009)
- Bjorn Augustsson reported a bug which made curl not report any problems even
though it failed to write a very small download to disk (done in a single
fwrite call). It turned out to be because fwrite() returned success, but
there was insufficient error-checking for the fclose() call which tricked
curl to believe things were fine.
Yang Tse (23 Nov 2009)
- David Byron modified Makefile.dist vc8 and vc9 targets in order to allow
finer granularity control when generating src and lib makefiles.
Yang Tse (22 Nov 2009)
- I modified configure to force removal of the curlbuild.h file included in
distribution tarballs for use by non-configure systems. As intended, this
would get overwriten when doing in-tree builds. But VPATH builds would end
having two curlbuild.h files, one in the source tree and another in the
build tree. With the modification I introduced 5 Nov 2009 this could become
an issue when running libcurl's test suite.
Daniel Stenberg (20 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis identified a write after close, as the sockets were
closed by libcurl before the SSL lib were shutdown and they may write to its
socket. Detected to at least happen with OpenSSL builds.
- Jad Chamcham pointed out a bug with connection re-use. If a connection had
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL enabled over a proxy, a subsequent request using the
same proxy with the tunnel option disabled would still wrongly re-use that
previous connection and the outcome would only be badness.
Yang Tse (18 Nov 2009)
- I modified the memory tracking system to make it intolerant with zero sized
malloc(), calloc() and realloc() function calls.
Daniel Stenberg (17 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided another fix for the DNS cache that could
end up with entries that wouldn't time-out:
1. Set up a first web server that redirects (307) to a http://server:port
that's down
2. Have curl connect to the first web server using curl multi
After the curl_easy_cleanup call, there will be curl dns entries hanging
around with in_use != 0.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891591)
- Marc Kleine-Budde fixed: curl saved the LDFLAGS set during configure into
its pkg-config file. So -Wl stuff ended up in the .pc file, which is really
bad, and breaks if there are multiple -Wl in our LDFLAGS (which are in
PTXdist). bug #2893592 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2893592)
Kamil Dudka (15 Nov 2009)
- David Byron improved the configure script to use pkg-config to find OpenSSL
(and in particular the list of required libraries) even if a path is given
as argument to --with-ssl
Yang Tse (15 Nov 2009)
- I removed enable-thread / disable-thread configure option. These were only
placebo options. The library is always built as thread safe as possible on
every system.
Claes Jakobsson (14 Nov 2009)
- curl-config now accepts '--configure' to see what arguments was
passed to the configure script when building curl.
Daniel Stenberg (14 Nov 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson restored the configure functionality to detect NSS when
--with-nss is set but not "yes".
I think we can still improve that to check for pkg-config in that path etc,
but at least this patch brings back the same functionality we had before.
- Camille Moncelier added support for the file type SSL_FILETYPE_ENGINE for
the client certificate. It also disable the key name test as some engines
can select a private key/cert automatically (When there is only one key
and/or certificate on the hardware device used by the engine)
Yang Tse (14 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis provided the fix that ensures that an SSL connection
won't be reused unless protection level for peer and host verification match.
I refactored how preprocessor symbol _THREAD_SAFE definition is done.
Kamil Dudka (12 Nov 2009)
- Kevin Baughman provided a fix preventing libcurl-NSS from crash on doubly
closed NSPR descriptor. The issue was hard to find, reported several times
before and always closed unresolved. More info at the RH bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/534176
- libcurl-NSS now tries to reconnect with TLS disabled in case it detects
a broken TLS server. However it does not happen if SSL version is selected
manually. The approach was originally taken from PSM. Kaspar Brand helped me
to complete the patch. Original bug reports:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/525496https://bugzilla.redhat.com/527771
Yang Tse (12 Nov 2009)
- I modified configure script to make the getaddrinfo function check also
verify if the function is thread safe.
Yang Tse (11 Nov 2009)
- Marco Maggi reported that compilation failed when configured --with-gssapi
and GNU GSS installed due to a missing mutual exclusion of header files in
the Kerberos 5 code path. He also verified that my patch worked for him.
Daniel Stenberg (11 Nov 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug #2891595
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2891595) which identified how an entry
in the DNS cache would linger too long if the request that added it was in
use that long. He also provided the patch that now makes libcurl capable of
still doing a request while the DNS hash entry may get timed out.
- Christian Schmitz noticed that the progress meter/callback was not properly
used during the FTP connection phase (after the actual TCP connect), while
it of course should be. I also made the speed check get called correctly so
that really slow servers will trigger that properly too.
Kamil Dudka (5 Nov 2009)
- Dropped misleading timeouts in libcurl-NSS and made sure the SSL socket works
in non-blocking mode.
Yang Tse (5 Nov 2009)
- I removed leading 'curl' path on the 'curlbuild.h' include statement in
curl.h, adjusting auto-makefiles include path, to enhance portability to
OS's without an orthogonal directory tree structure such as OS/400.
Daniel Stenberg (4 Nov 2009)
- I fixed several problems with the transfer progress meter. It showed the
wrong percentage for small files, most notable for <1000 bytes and could
easily end up showing more than 100% at the end. It also didn't show any
percentage, transfer size or estimated transfer times when transferring
less than 100 bytes.
changes:
--T. is now for non-blocking uploading from stdin
-SYST handling on FTP for OS/400 FTP server cases
-libcurl refuses to read a single HTTP header longer than 100K
-added the --crlfile option to curl
+bugfices
Version 7.19.6 (12 August 2009)
Daniel Stenberg (12 Aug 2009)
- Carsten Lange reported a bug and provided a patch for TFTP upload and the
sending of the TSIZE option. I don't like fixing bugs just hours before
a release, but since it was broken and the patch fixes this for him I decided
to get it in anyway.
Daniel Stenberg (11 Aug 2009)
- Peter Sylvester made the HTTPS test server use specific certificates for
each test, so that the test suite can now be used to actually test the
verification of cert names etc. This made an error show up in the OpenSSL-
specific code where it would attempt to match the CN field even if a
subjectAltName exists that doesn't match. This is now fixed and verified
in test 311.
- Benbuck Nason posted the bug report #2835196
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2835196), fixing a few compiler
warnings when mixing ints and bools.
Daniel Fandrich (10 Aug 2009)
- Fixed a memory leak in the FTP code and an off-by-one heap buffer overflow.
Daniel Fandrich (9 Aug 2009)
- Fixed some memory leaks in the command-line tool that caused most of the
torture tests to fail.
Daniel Stenberg (2 Aug 2009)
- Curt Bogmine reported a problem with SNI enabled on a particular server. We
should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
Daniel Stenberg (1 Aug 2009)
- Scott Cantor posted the bug report #2829955
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2829955) mentioning the recent SSL cert
verification flaw found and exploited by Moxie Marlinspike. The presentation
he did at Black Hat is available here:
https://www.blackhat.com/html/bh-usa-09/bh-usa-09-archives.html#Marlinspike
Apparently at least one CA allowed a subjectAltName or CN that contain a
zero byte, and thus clients that assumed they would never have zero bytes
were exploited to OK a certificate that didn't actually match the site. Like
if the name in the cert was "example.com\0theatualsite.com", libcurl would
happily verify that cert for example.com.
libcurl now better uses the length of the extracted name, not using the zero
termination for getting the string length.
This fixing only made and needed in OpenSSL interfacing code.
- Tanguy Fautre pointed out that OpenSSL's function RAND_screen() (present
only in some OpenSSL installs - like on Windows) isn't thread-safe and we
agreed that moving it to the global_init() function is a decent way to deal
with this situation.
- Alexander Beedie provided the patch for a noproxy problem: If I have set
CURLOPT_NOPROXY to "*", or to a host that should not use a proxy, I actually
could still end up using a proxy if a proxy environment variable was set.
Daniel Stenberg (27 Jul 2009)
- All the quote options (CURLOPT_QUOTE, CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE and
CURLOPT_PREQUOTE) now accept a preceeding asterisk before the command to
send when using FTP, as a sign that libcurl shall simply ignore the response
from the server instead of treating it as an error. Not treating a 400+ FTP
response code as an error means that failed commands will not abort the
chain of commands, nor will they cause the connection to get disconnected.
Daniel Stenberg (26 Jul 2009)
- Johan van Selst posted bug report #2825989
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2825989) pointing out that
OpenSSL-powered libcurl didn't support the SHA-2 digest algorithm, and
provided the solution too: to use OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms() in addition
to the older SSLeay_* alternative. OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms was added in
OpenSSL 0.9.5
Daniel Stenberg (23 Jul 2009)
- Added CURLOPT_SSH_KNOWNHOSTS, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYFUNCTION, CURLOPT_SSH_KEYDATA.
They introduce known_host support for SSH keys to libcurl. See docs for
details. Note that this feature depends on a new enough libssh2 version, to
be supported in libssh2 1.2 and later (or current git repo at this time).
Michal Marek (22 Jul 2009)
- David Binderman found a memory and fd leak in lib/gtls.c:load_file()
(https://bugzilla.novell.com/523919). When looking at the code, I found that
also the ptr pointer can leak.
Kamil Dudka (20 Jul 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson improved the support for client certificates handling in
NSS-powered libcurl. Now the client certificates can be selected
automatically by a NSS built-in hook. Additionally pre-login to all PKCS11
slots is no more performed. It used to cause problems with HW tokens.
- Fixed reference counting for NSS client certificates. Now the PEM reader
module should be always properly unloaded on Curl_nss_cleanup(). If the
unload fails though, libcurl will try to reuse the already loaded instance.
Daniel Fandrich (15 Jul 2009)
- Added nonblock.c to the non-automake makefiles (note that the dependencies
in the Watcom makefiles aren't quite correct).
Michal Marek (15 Jul 2009)
- Changed the description of CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO to make it clear that the
errno is not reset on success.
Guenter Knauf (14 Jul 2009)
- renamed generated config.h to curl_config.h to avoid any future clashes
with config.h from other projects.
Daniel Stenberg (9 Jul 2009)
- Eric Wong introduced curlx_nonblock() that the curl tool now (re-)uses for
setting a file descriptor non-blocking. Used by the functionality Eric
himself brough on June 15th.
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jul 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis posted bug report #2813123
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2813123) and an a patch that fixes the
problem:
Url A is accessed using auth. Url A redirects to Url B (on a different
server0. Url B reuses a persistent connection. Url B has auth, even though
it's on a different server.
Note: if Url B does not reuse a persistent connection, auth is not sent.
reason:
data->state.first_host is not initialized becuase Curl_http_connect is not
called when a connection is reused.
Solution:
move initialization of data->state.first_host to Curl_http. No code before
Curl_http uses data->state.first_host anyway.
Guenter Knauf (4 Jul 2009)
- Markus Koetter provided a patch to avoid getnameinfo() usage which broke a
couple of both IPv4 and IPv6 autobuilds.
Daniel Stenberg (29 Jun 2009)
- Markus Koetter made CURLOPT_FTPPORT (and curl's -P/--ftpport) support a port
range if given colon-separated after the host name/address part. Like
"192.168.0.1:2000-10000"
- Modified the separators used for CURLOPT_CERTINFO in multi-part outputs. I
don't know how they got wrong in the first place, but using this output
format makes it possible to quite easily separate the string into an array
of multiple items.
Daniel Fandrich (16 June 2009)
- Added a few more compiler warning options for gcc.
Daniel Stenberg (16 Jun 2009)
- Reuven Wachtfogel made curl -o - properly produce a binary output on windows
(no newline translations). Use -B/--use-ascii if you rather get the ascii
approach.
Michal Marek (16 Jun 2009)
- When doing non-anonymous ftp via http proxies and the password is not
provided in the url, add it there (squid needs this).
Daniel Stenberg (15 Jun 2009)
- Eric Wong's patch:
This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a
request is still being read, of course.
If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
(and thus sending) is paused.
This change was needed to allow successfully tunneling the git protocol over
HTTP (--no-buffer is needed, as well).
Patrick Monnerat (15 Jun 2009)
- Replaced use of standard C library rand()/srand() by our own pseudo-random
number generator.
Yang Tse (11 Jun 2009)
- I adapted testcurl script to allow building test harness programs when
cross-compiling for a *-*-mingw* host.
Daniel Stenberg (10 Jun 2009)
- Fabian Keil ran clang on the (lib)curl code, found a bunch of warnings and
contributed a range of patches to fix them.
Yang Tse (10 Jun 2009)
- I introduced configure script option --enable-curldebug which now allows
the decoupled enabling or disabling of the curl debug memory tracking
feature from the --enable-debug option which no longer controls this.
curl --version will list 'Debug' feature for debug enabled builds, and
will list 'TrackMemory' feature for curl debug memory tracking capable
builds. These features are independent and can be controlled when running
the configure script. When --enable-debug is given both features will be
enabled, unless some restriction prevents memory tracking from being used.
Internally, definition of preprocessor symbol DEBUGBUILD restricts code
which is only compiled for debug enabled builds. And symbol CURLDEBUG is
used to differentiate code which is _only_ used for memory tracking.
Yang Tse (9 Jun 2009)
- Daniel Steinberg pointed out that Curl_FormInit() in formdata.c was not
initializing the fread callback pointer and this triggered a compiler
warning, also provided a friendly suggestion on how to fix it.
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson provided a patch for libcurl-NSS that fixed a bad refcount
issue with client certs that caused issues like segfaults.
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0316.html
- Triggered by bug report #2798852 and the patch in there, I fixed configure
to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config
anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path
is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that
lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.
Yang Tse (8 Jun 2009)
- Igor Novoseltsev adjusted Makefile.vxworks to get sources and headers
included from Makefile.inc, and provided docs\INSTALL VxWorks section.
- I removed buildconf.bat from release and daily snapshot archives. This
file is only for CVS tree checkout builds.
Daniel Stenberg (8 Jun 2009)
- Eric Wong fixed --no-buffer to actually switch off output buffering. Been
broken since 7.19.0
Bill Hoffman (6 Jun 2009)
- Added some cmake docs and fixed socklen_t in the build.
Yang Tse (5 Jun 2009)
- John E. Malmberg provided VMS specific patch: "This fixes an existing bug
in urlglob.c where it was not converting the Curl Unix exit code to a VMS
DCL compatible exit code. This fix required the enhancement described next.
This also adds an enhancement to main.c so that when curl is run under a
Unix shell like Bash on VMS, it will return the standard Unix exit codes
and messages." And another patch for docs/examples.
I introduced os-specific.c and os-specific.h for use in curl tool code
and adjusted John E. Malmberg's patch placement to use these new files
as an effort to prevent main.c from growing ad infinitum. Code already
existing in main.c which is OS specific should be moved into these files.
Daniel Stenberg (4 June 2009)
- Setting the Content-Length: header from your app when you do a POST or PUT
is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
Yang Tse (4 Jun 2009)
- Igor Novoseltsev provided patches and information, that after some
adjustments to better fit curl's way of doing things, have resulted
in the posibility of building libcurl for VxWorks.
Daniel Fandrich (2 June 2009)
- Checked in a Google Android make file. To use it, you must first
create a config.h file by running configure in the Android environment,
which doesn't seem to be easy to do. If no easy way can be found, a
static config-android.h may need to be created and checked in to the
libcurl source tree.
Daniel Stenberg (1 June 2009)
- Claes Jakobsson fixed the configure script to better find and use NSS
without pkg-config.
Yang Tse (1 Jun 2009)
- John E. Malmberg provided a VMS specific clean-up for curl.h, and pointed
out that the configure script was failing to detect the timeval struct on
VMS when building with _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED undefined due to definition
taking place in socket.h instead of time.h. I have adjusted configure
script to also include this header when checking struct timeval.
Daniel Stenberg (27 May 2009)
- Frank McGeough provided a small OpenSSL #include fix to make libcurl compile
fine with Nokia 5th edition 1.0 SDK for Symbian.
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found a call to a OpenSSL function that didn't check
for a failure properly.
- Mike Crowe pointed out that setting CURLOPT_USERPWD to NULL used to clear
the auth credentials back in 7.19.0 and earlier while now you have to set ""
to get the same effect. His patch brings back the ability to use NULL.
- Claes Jakobsson fixed libcurl-NSS to build fine even without the
PK11_CreateGenericObject() function.
Daniel Stenberg (25 May 2009)
- bug report #2796358 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2796358) pointed
out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
Daniel Fandrich (22 May 2009)
- Removed some obsolete digest code that caused a valgrind error in test 551.
Daniel Fandrich (20 May 2009)
- Added "non-existing host" test keywords to make it easy to skip those
tests on machines that have broken DNS configurations (such as
those configured to use OpenDNS).
Daniel Stenberg (19 May 2009)
- Kamil Dudka brought the patch from the Redhat bug entry
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=427966 which was libcurl closing
a bad file descriptor when closing down the FTP data connection. Caolan
McNamara seems to be the original author of it.
Version 7.19.5 (18 May 2009)
Daniel Stenberg (17 May 2009)
- James Bursa posted a patch to the mailing list that fixed a problem with
no_proxy which made it not skip the proxy if the URL entered contained a
user name. I added test case 1101 to verify.
Daniel Stenberg (11 May 2009)
- Balint Szilakszi reported a memory leak when libcurl did gzip decompression
of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-05/0092.html
- Kamil Dudka provided a fix for libcurl-NSS reported by Michael Cronenworth
at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612#c12
If an incorrect password is given while loading a private key, libcurl ends
up in an infinite loop consuming memory. The bug is critical.
- I fixed the problem with doing NTLM, POST and then following a 302 redirect,
as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
Daniel Stenberg (10 May 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet correctly pointed out an over-alloc with one wasted
byte in the digest code.
Yang Tse (9 May 2009)
- Removed DOS and TPF package's subdirectory Makefile.am, it was only used
to include some files in the distribution tarball serving no other purpose.
Files from the DOS and TPF subdirectories are now included in the EXTRA_DIST
of the Makefile in the parent subdirectory.
Yang Tse (8 May 2009)
- Changed host name literal in several tests to one under the haxx.se domain.
- Renamed vc6 workspace and project files to avoid filename clash when used
for conversion to later VS versions.
Daniel Stenberg (8 May 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis fixed bug report #2784055
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
- Made the SO_SNDBUF setting for the data connection socket for ftp uploads as
well. See change 28 Apr 2009.
Yang Tse (7 May 2009)
- Fixed an issue affecting FTP transfers, introduced with the transfer.c
patch committed May 4.
Daniel Stenberg (7 May 2009)
- Man page *roff problems fixed thanks to input from Colin Watson. Problems
reported in the Debian package.
- Vijay G filed bug report #2723236
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723236) identifying a problem with
libcurl's TFTP code and its lack of dealing with the OACK packet.
Yang Tse (5 May 2009)
- Fixed the --ftp-port address of test #251 to the CLIENTIP address, and
reverted the change affecting test suite harness committed 4 May.
Daniel Stenberg (5 May 2009)
- Inspired by Michael Smith's session id fix for OpenSSL, I did the
corresponding fix in the GnuTLS code: make sure to store the new session id
in case the previous re-used one is rejected.
Daniel Stenberg (4 May 2009)
- Michael Smith posted bug report #2786255
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
code needs similar fixes.
Yang Tse (4 May 2009)
- Applied David McCreedy's "transfer.c fixes for CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV and
non-ASCII platform HTTP requests" patch addressing two HTTP PUT problems:
1) On non-ASCII platforms not all of the protocol portions of the PUT are
being translated to ASCII. 2) On all platforms the line endings of part of
the protocol portions are mangled from CRLF to CRCRLF if data->set.crlf or
data->set.prefer_ascii are set (depending on CURL_DO_LINEEND_CONV).
- Applied David McCreedy's patch to fix test suite harness to allow test FTP
server and client on different machines, providing FTP client address when
running the FTP test server.
Daniel Fandrich (3 May 2009)
- Added and disabled test case 563 which shows KNOWN_BUGS #59. The bug
report failed to mention that a proxy must be used to reproduce it.
Yang Tse (2 May 2009)
- Use a build-time configured curl_socklen_t data type instead of socklen_t.
Yang Tse (1 May 2009)
- Applied David McCreedy's patches "TPF-platform specific changes to various
files" and "http.c fix to Curl_proxyCONNECT for non-ASCII platforms", the
former with minor edits.
Daniel Stenberg (30 Apr 2009)
- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
"ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!
Daniel Stenberg (29 Apr 2009)
- Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.
TFTP is UDP-based so the benefit was really low (if even existing) to begin
with so instead of tracking down to fix this problem we instead removed the
re-use. I also enabled test case 1099 that I wrote a few days ago to verify
that this change fixes the reported problem.
Daniel Stenberg (28 Apr 2009)
- Constantine Sapuntzakis filed bug report #2783090
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2783090) pointing out that on windows
we need to grow the SO_SNDBUF buffer somewhat to get really good upload
speeds. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 has the details. Friends
confirmed that simply adding 32 to CURL_MAX_WRITE_SIZE is enough.
- Bug report #2709004 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2709004) by Tim
Chen pointed out how curl couldn't upload with resume when reading from a
pipe.
This ended up with the introduction of a new return code for the
CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION callback that basically says that the seek failed but
that libcurl may try to resolve the situation anyway. In our case this means
libcurl will attempt to instead read that much data from the stream instead
of seeking and that way curl can now upload with resume when data is read
from a stream!
Daniel Stenberg (26 Apr 2009)
- Bug report #2779733 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779733) by Sven
Wegener pointed out that CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME didn't work with the multi
interface and provided a patch that fixed the problem!
Daniel Stenberg (24 Apr 2009)
- Kamil Dudka fixed another NSS-related leak when client certs were used.
- Bug report #2779245 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2779245) by Rainer
Koenig pointed out that the man page didn't tell that the *_proxy
environment variables can be specified lower case or UPPER CASE and the
lower case takes precedence,
Daniel Fandrich (21 Apr 2009)
- Added new libcurl source files to Amiga, RiscOS and VC6 build files.
Yang Tse (21 Apr 2009)
- Moved potential inclusion of system's malloc.h and memory.h header files to
setup_once.h. Inclusion of each header file is based on the definition of
NEED_MALLOC_H and NEED_MEMORY_H respectively.
Renamed libcurl's memory.h to curl_memory.h
Daniel Stenberg (20 Apr 2009)
- Leanic Lefever reported a crash and did some detailed research on why and
how it occurs (http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2009-04/0289.html). The
conclusion was that if an error is detected and Curl_done() is called for
the connection, ftp_done() could at times return another error code that
then would take precedence and that new code confused existing logic that
works for the first error code (CURLE_SEND_ERROR) only.
- Gisle Vanem noticed that --libtool would produce bogus strings at times for
OBJECTPOINT options. Now we've introduced a new function - my_setopt_str -
within the app for setting plain string options to avoid the risk of this
mistake happening.
Daniel Stenberg (17 Apr 2009)
- Pramod Sharma reported and tracked down a bug when doing FTP over a HTTP
proxy. libcurl would then wrongly close the connection after each
request. In his case it had the weird side-effect that it killed NTLM auth
for the proxy causing an inifinite loop!
I added test case 1098 to verify this fix. The test case does however not
properly verify that the transfers are done persistently - as I couldn't
think of a clever way to achieve it right now - but you need to read the
stderr output after a test run to see that it truly did the right thing.
Daniel Stenberg (13 Apr 2009)
- bug report #2727981 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2727981) by Martin
Storsj
confusing as it set the method to either GET or HEAD. The example he showed
looked like:
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_NOBODY, 0);
The new way doesn't alter the method until the request is about to start. If
CURLOPT_NOBODY is then 1 the HTTP request will be HEAD. If CURLOPT_NOBODY is
0 and the request happens to have been set to HEAD, it will then instead be
set to GET. I believe this will be less surprising to users, and hopefully
not hit any existing users badly.
- Toshio Kuratomi reported a memory leak problem with libcurl+NSS that turned
out to be leaking cacerts. Kamil Dudka helped me complete the fix. The issue
is found in Redhat's bug tracker:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453612
There are still memory leaks present, but they seem to have other reasons.
Daniel Fandrich (11 Apr 2009)
- Added new libcurl source files to Symbian OS build files.
- Improved Symbian support for SSL.
Yang Tse (10 Apr 2009)
- Daniel Johnson improved the MacOSX-Framework shell script to now perform all
the steps required to build a Mac OS X four way fat ppc/i386/ppc64/x86_64
libcurl.framework. Four way fat framework requires OS X 10.5 SDK or later.
Yang Tse (8 Apr 2009)
- Removed Sun compilers preprocessor block from curlbuild.h.dist, this also
removes it from the curlbuild.h file originally distributed by the cURL
project as this file is intended for systems not capable of running the
configure script. For those who have been building curl out of the source
code curl distribution tarball provided by curl.haxx.se the change implies
nothing. Previous change in this area committed 2 Apr becomes irrelevant.
Daniel Stenberg (6 Apr 2009)
- I clarified in the docs that CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION should return 0 on success
and 1 on fatal errors. Previously it only mentioned non-zero on fatal
errors. This is a slight change in meaning, but it follows what we've done
elsewhere before and it opens up for LOTS of more useful return codes
whenever we can think of them...
Yang Tse (2 Apr 2009)
- Fix curl_off_t definition for builds done using Sun compilers and a
non-configured libcurl. In this case curl_off_t data type was gated
to the off_t data type which depends on the _FILE_OFFSET_BITS. This
configuration is exactly the unwanted configuration for our curl_off_t
data type which must not depend on such setting. This breaks ABI for
libcurl libraries built with Sun compilers which were built without
having run the configure script with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS different than
64 and using the ILP32 data model.
Daniel Stenberg (1 Apr 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed a NULL pointer use in an infof() call if a
strdup() call failed.
Daniel Fandrich (31 Mar 2009)
- Properly return an error code in curl_easy_recv (reported by Jim Freeman).
Daniel Stenberg (18 Mar 2009)
- Kamil Dudka brought a patch that enables 6 additional crypto algorithms when
NSS is used. These ciphers were added in NSS 3.4 and require to be enabled
explicitly.
Daniel Stenberg (13 Mar 2009)
- Use libssh2_version() to present the libssh2 version in case the libssh2
library is found to support it.
Yang Tse (12 Mar 2009)
- Added missing Curl_read() return code checking in TELNET transfers.
- Pierre Brico found and fixed TELNET transfers not being aborted upon
a write callback failure.
Daniel Stenberg (11 Mar 2009)
- Kamil Dudka made the curl tool properly call curl_global_init() before any
other libcurl function.
Yang Tse (11 Mar 2009)
- Added missing TELNET timeout support for Windows builds. This issue was
reported by Pierre Brico.
Daniel Stenberg (9 Mar 2009)
- Frank Hempel found out a bug and provided the fix:
curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
cookie engine switched on.
We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
- Andreas Farber made the 'buildconf' script check for the presence of m4
scripts to make it detect a bad checkout earlier. People with older
checkouts who don't do cvs update with the -d option won't get the new dirs
and then will get funny outputs that can be a bit hard to understand and
fix.
Daniel Stenberg (8 Mar 2009)
- Andre Guibert de Bruet found and fixed a code segment in ssluse.c where the
allocation of the memory BIO was not being properly checked.
- Andre Guibert de Bruet fixed the gnutls-using code: There are a few places
in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
other values indicate error conditions.
- Bill Egert pointed out (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2671602) that
curl didn't use sprintf() in a way that is documented to work in POSIX but
since we use our own printf() code (from libcurl) that shouldn't be a
problem. Nonetheless I modified the code to not rely on such particular
features and to not cause further raised eyebrowse with no good reason.
Daniel Fandrich (5 Mar 2009)
- Expanded the security section of the libcurl-tutorial man page to cover
more issues for authors to consider when writing robust libcurl-using
applications.
Yang Tse (5 Mar 2009)
- Fixed NTLM authentication memory leak on SSPI enabled Windows builds. This
issue was noticed by Chris Deidun.
Daniel Fandrich (4 Mar 2009)
- Fixed a problem with m4 quoting in the OpenSSL configure check reported
by Daniel Johnson.
Daniel Stenberg (3 Mar 2009)
- David James brought a patch that make libcurl close (all) dead connections
whenever you attempt to open a new connection.
1. After cleaning up a dead connection, "continue" instead of
returning FALSE. This ensures that we clean up all dead connections,
rather than just cleaning up the first dead connection.
2. Move up the cleanup for dead connections so that it occurs for
all connections, rather than just the connections which have the same
preferences as our current new connection.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
