1.1.0 - March 8, 2004

  • Added the ability to transparently follow HTTP redirects, configurable with the new http_setRedirects() function.
  • Replaced direct reference to sys_errlist with a call to strerror, which allows the library to build on NetBSD.
  • Changed configure.in to configure.ac. Autoconf seems to be happier.
  • Made the html docs a little less ugly.

1.0.3 - October 14, 2003

  • Added support for ports other than 80
  • HTTP control structures use RFC 1945 compliant linebreaks
  • Fixed bug where server response values with leading 0's were read as octal
  • Fixed error in timeout logic that prevented connections from actually timing out
  • Fixed possible realloc() related memory leak
  • Data is now NULL terminated for safety

1.0.2 - April 22, 2003
  • Fixed a buffer overflow (reported to BugTraq, see http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/6531/info/) and a memory leak.
  • Check for hstrerror and provide workaround if not present.
  • Portability improvements, build process checks for necessary functions.
  • Includes specfile for building rpm packages.
  • Includes http-fetcher.m4 macro file for inclusion with autoconf


1.0.1 - July 30, 2001

  • Libtool/project versioning also sorted out.

1.0.0 - July 4, 2001

  • Initial release.
