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.
