| server downtime |
23 December 2006 |
|
The server hosting our mailing lists and CVS died late Friday evening and

chance to go over there and make sure it boots up fine again.
Please bear with us, enjoy christmas and have a great time!

upcoming release.
There's been quite extensive internal changes since the previous release.

| Removing support for FTP third party transfers? |

If you feel the support for FTP third party
transfers should remain in libcurl, you better speak up before the end
of the month or it will go...

| pick a fine mirror |
13 January 2006 |

There's a new service added. Pick any curl.haxx.se URL and replace 'curl'
with 'curlm' in the URL. When visiting that URL, you'll get bounced to a
suitable mirror near you... curlm.haxx.se has a list of verified
up-to-date mirrors only.
Please post your comments and feedback about this on the curl-users mailing
list. The plan is to remove the list of mirror-links from the top of all
pages and offer a link to this service only.

| One Hundred Thousand Unique Visitors |
3 October 2005 |
|
September 2005 was the first month we had more than 100,000 (one hundred
thousand) unique visitors on the curl web site.
curl packages were downloaded more than 20,000 times from the curl.haxx.se site
only during the month.
Over the last year, we have gained approximately 50% more visitors on the web
site.
Thanks to all you who make this possible: people writing stuff that show up on
the site, people who help me admin the site, people hosting site mirrors,
companies buying ads and people referring to our site from all over.

| Mailing Lists Data Loss |
22 September 2005 |
|
Added a separate page to explain the recent mailing list data loss we experienced.
|
| Mailing Lists Restoration Work |
19 September 2005 |
|
We didn't have a backup of the subscribers list of the mailing lists. Efforts have been made and some addresses
have been restored and brought back, but many have been lost. If you want to
subscribe to the lists, you should verify that you are still subscribed!
Sorry for this inconveniance.
|
| Mailing Lists Wiped Out |
17 September 2005 |
|
A "friendly" person deleted huge parts of cool.haxx.se today, which among
other things hosts and runs our mailing lists. Currently all subscribers and
all list info etc are gone.
We should be able to restore some of it from backups. Stay tuned.
Please allow a few days before all things are back to normal.
It was done by using a security hole in twiki - used for another project
on the same server. Aren't the world full of friendly souls? The IP
originated from a country/region that makes it no point in persuing this
legal wise.

| libcurl NTLM Buffer Overflow |
22 February 2005 |
|
As was posted to
bugtraq, all versions of curl that supports NTLM has this flaw. The fix. It
requires a malicious server to send an unexpectedly long NTLM response
header to trigger. (No, we were not contacted nor notified about this
problem before they went public.)
I'll be away for a week now but I'll put together a new release when I get
back.

| Help out autobuilding curl on multiple platforms! |
21 Jan 2003 |
|
I've spent some time on putting together a shell script that I would like
people to run on various operating systems. The script testcurl does:
- updates curl source from CVS
- generates the build environment (using buildconf)
- runs configure (optionally using your custom arguments)
- builds curl (in a separate build-dir)
- runs the tests (make test)
- removes the build dir
The output from all this should be mailed to the automatic receiver I've
setup for this purpose.
Personally, I'll setup and run this script on a Solaris 2.7 host and at least
one Linux i386. I'll make sure that these run regularly.
So, if you have some CPU cycles to spare and some time to set things up,
please get in touch and help us out.
The collected status of all distributed tests that are collected will of
course be viewable on the curl web site, and I'm smoothing out the scripts
for it right now.
The script is currently available here:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/testcurl.sh.
