the names of the curl_off_t formatting string directives now become
CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T and CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU.
CURL_FMT_OFF_T -> CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T
CURL_FMT_OFF_TU -> CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU
Remove the use of an internal name for the curl_off_t formatting string directives
and use the common one available from the inside and outside of the library.
FORMAT_OFF_T -> CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T
FORMAT_OFF_TU -> CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TU
parser to allow numerical IPv6-addresses to be specified with the scope
given, as per RFC4007 - with a percent letter that itself needs to be URL
escaped. For example, for an address of fe80::1234%1 the HTTP URL is:
"http://[fe80::1234%251]/"
CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME. This is set with the "application layer"
handshake/connection is completed (typically SSL, TLS or SSH). By using this
you can figure out the application layer's own connect time. You can extract
the time stamp using curl's -w option and the new variable named
'time_appconnect'. This feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
curl_easy_getinfo. It returns a pointer to a string with the most recently
used IP address. Modified test case 500 to also verify this feature. The
implementing of this feature was sponsored by Lenny Rachitsky at NeuStar.
_ Updated packages/OS400/curl.inc.in with new definitions.
_ New connect/bind/sendto/recvfrom wrappers to support AF_UNIX sockets.
_ Include files line length shortened below 100 chars.
_ Const parameter in lib/qssl.[ch].
_ Typos in packages/OS400/initscript.sh.
and receive data over a connection previously setup with curl_easy_perform()
and its CURLOPT_CONNECT_ONLY option. The sendrecv.c example was added to
show how they can be used.
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.
application to provide data for a multipart with the read callback. Note
that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the
stream option is used. This feature is verified by the new test case
554. This feature was sponsored by Xponaut.
does nothing with them, just to make sure libcurl users always use three
arguments to this function. Due to its use of ... for the third argument, it
is otherwise hard to detect abuse.
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,
I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get
used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
code to instead introduce support for a new proxy type called
CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME that is used to send the host name to the proxy
instead of IP address and there's thus no longer any need for a new
curl_easy_setopt() option.
The default SOCKS5 proxy is again back to sending the IP address to the
proxy. The new curl command line option for enabling sending host name to a
SOCKS5 proxy is now --socks5-hostname.
proxy do the host name resolving and only if --socks5ip (or
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_RESOLVE_LOCAL) is used we resolve the host name locally and
pass on the IP address only to the proxy.
made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct
definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I
could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't
think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of
course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their
headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom
definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of
cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type seems
harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem.
is an inofficial PROXY4 variant that sends the hostname to the proxy instead
of the resolved address (which is already supported by SOCKS5). --socks4a is
the curl command line option for it and CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE can now be set to
CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A as well.
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
better with the appending done!
out a problem in curl.h when building C++ apps with MSVC. To fix it, the
inclusion of header files in curl.h is moved outside of the C++ extern "C"
linkage block.
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace
the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change
address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace
indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry
for mixing those in.)
CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (standard CURL_NO_OLDIES style), and made this
return code get used by the previous SSH MD5 fingerprint check in case it
fails.
CURLOPT_SSH_HOST_PUBLIC_KEY_MD5 and the curl tool --hostpubmd5. They both make
the SCP or SFTP connection verify the remote host's md5 checksum of the public
key before doing a connect, to reduce the risk of a man-in-the-middle attack.
curl_easy_setopt() that alters how libcurl functions when following
redirects. It makes libcurl obey the RFC2616 when a 301 response is received
after a non-GET request is made. Default libcurl behaviour is to change
method to GET in the subsequent request (like it does for response code 302
- because that's what many/most browsers do), but with this CURLOPT_POST301
option enabled it will do what the spec says and do the next request using
the same method again. I.e keep POST after 301.
The curl tool got this option as --post301
Test case 1011 and 1012 were added to verify.
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.
Documented some newer error codes in libcurl-error(3)
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.
and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS. These control the premissions for files
and directories created on the remote server. CURLOPT_NEW_FILE_PERMS
defaults to 0644 and CURLOPT_NEW_DIRECTORY_PERMS defaults to 0755
because I just made SCP uploads return this value if the file size of
the upload file isn't given with CURLOPT_INFILESIZE*. Docs updated to
reflect this news, and a define for the old name was added to the public
header file.
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
curl_multi_socket*().
to the debug callback.
- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
FTP-SSL operation.
and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for
the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to
be sure we have the correct timeout set.
Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another
callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time
changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a
lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in
good old libcurl tradition.
handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the
stack.
- Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL
session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out
there that misbehave with session-IDs used.
