Changes with libwww 5.3.2
2000-12-19 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Compilation fix: two prototypes in HTResponse.html were declared as PUBLIC, instead of as external. Updated the copyright date of the WinCommander Fixed runtime crashes with the following example applications: chunk.c chunkbody.c getheaders.c head.c multichunk.c 2000-12-18 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Compilation fix: The HTMIME_anchor2response() function added a dependency between the cache and mime mini-libs. I changed the call to a stream converter (HTCacheCopyHeaders) to make it optional and to avoid the dependency. The converter is initialized in HTInit.c:HTConverterInit. 2000-12-14 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Bug fix: make dist didn't work because of a recurrent rule in the ComLine make file (it tried to use www to create a documentation file). 2000-12-13 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Bug fix: When objects were retrieved from the cache, the response object didn't have a copy of the request headers. These headers were only found in the anchor associated to the request. In order to make a coherent behavior, I made a new function HTMIME.c:HTMIME_anchor2response() that copies the headers from one object to the other. Well, more than a copy, it adds a link to the headers. I call this function in HTCache:CacheCleanup when it succesfully retrieved an object from the cache. Result, you can now use the response object in both cases. 2000-10-30 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Enhancement, added a new field to the HTResponse object to store the HTTP reason sent by the server. Two new functions to get it/set it: HTResponse_reason(), HTResponse_setReason() 2000-09-01 Wayne Davison <wayne@clari.net> * HTAccess.c: Typo fix * HTChunk.c, HTChunk.html: new function, HTChunk_fromBuffer for creating a chunk from an existing block of memory, without having to allocate more memory. 2000-09-01 Peter Stamfest <peter.stamfest@eunet.at> * Makefile.am: corrected a DESTDIR problem 2000-09-01 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * config.h: Updated the libwww version 2000-09-01 Zhu Qun-Ying <qunying@yahoo.com> * config.h: BUG FIX: wrong closing comment 2000-08-30 Arthur Barstow <barstow@w3.org> * HTRDF.c: BUG FIX: nested typedNode constructs with attributes caused re-using a free'd pointer. * HTRDF.c: per a request from the Redland RDF project, added a void * context parameter to HTRDF_parse{File,Buffer}. The application-specific context will be available in the triple callback handler. * HTRDF.html - updated to API changes mentioned above * Library/Examples/ updated rdf_parse_{file,buffer} programs to reflect the above API changes. 2000-08-29 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Temporarily commented the XML structured stream in HTXML.c (HTXMLStructured_new) and its related code, as it creates a dependency with the libwwwxml mini-library. If this code is still useful, it should go into another module, HTSXML.c to avoid the forced dependency. 2000-08-28 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Updated expat to the test version 19990728, as this version adds some interesting API extensions and is now being widely used by other projects, including the Perl XML modules. The previous version is CVS tagged as expat-1-1. 2000-08-18 Arthur Barstow <barstow@w3.org> * HTRDF.c: Added a new public API HTRDF_parseBuffer. It parses an arbitrary buffer (char *) of RDF. * HTRDF.c: Changed the name of HTRDFParseFile to HTRDF_parseFile. it now returns BOOL instead of char * to be consistent with other RDF parser APIs. * HTRDF.html - updated to HTRDF.c changes mentioned above * Library/Examples/: added two new example programs: 1. rdf_parse_file - demos/tests HTRDF_parseFile() 2. rdf_parse_buffer - demos/tests HTRDF_parseBuffer() * configure.in - added the two new programs above * Library/Examples/Makefile.am - added the two new programs 2000-08-17 Arthur Barstow <barstow@w3.org> * HTRDF.c: Fixed a memory leak. (HTElement structures for elements within a property with parseType="Literal" were not free'd after the parser was done.) * HTRDF.c: Bug fixes. Added code to circumvent calls to HTSAlloc (via StrAllocCopy) when the src and dest were identical (this causes a free'd pointer to be used) or both NULL. * HTRDF.c: Changed addMarkup{Add,End} to make one call to StrAllocMCat instead of multiple StrAllocCat calls. 2000-08-11 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Memory leak. The HTPlain (HTPlain.c) stream wasn't freeing the HTTextImp (me->text) object in the HTPlain_free and HTPlain_abort. I found the bug while running the robot thru Insure and found the fix by seeing what was being done in the HTML (HTML.c) stream. * The make dist command wasn't copying the .c, .files, and .mak files found in the Library/src/windows. As a result, the tar files created with this command were missing those files. The problem came from some wrong assumptions in the Makefile.am of the windows directory. 2000-08-11 Wayne Davison <wayne@clari.net> * Added two new functions to HTHash.c, HTHashtable_removeObject() and HTHashTable_walk. The first one allows to delete individual elements from a hash-table, the second one allows to walk throug all associated elements in a table without having to ask for a list of all keys and then looking each one up. See http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-lib/2000JulSep/0146.html for a more detaile description on how to use these functions. * I got rid of a few useless variable initializations in HTHash.c (when the variables were being set to a value immediately following the init value). * I removed some superfluous spaces that I saw. 2000-08-10 Wayne Davison <wayne@clari.net> * Since "cvs update" was complaining about a bunch of generated files in the Library/src dir, I tweaked it to ignore the *.la files and the .libs dir. 2000-08-10 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Because (IMO) of a very imbricated protocol stack, the Robot could hang when accessing local files, as it become starved on its own sockets. I fixed the problem by adding a new state in HTFile:FileEvent() to take into account the case when a request goes pending. This is mostly based on a previous (not commited) patch by Kinuko Yasuda, plus some long debugging to find out what was happening and a fix to a memory bug that the other patch had. 2000-08-08 Wayne Davison <wayne@clari.net> * New HTChunk_setSize function to allow to set the size of a chunk object upwards or downwards. (HTChunk_truncate() still exists and still enforces the sizing of the string downwards.) Both these string-sizing functions only zero the relevant bytes in the "size" region (if the string is being shortened). Note that HTChunk_clear() was left unchanged -- it still clears all of the Chunk's allocated memory. * Fixed the HT_OUTOFMEM() calls in HTChunk_ensure() to have the proper location string. * Some code in HTBind.c was optimized to use HTChunk_truncate(). * HTFTP.c and HTNews.c was optimized to use HTChunk_setSize() rather than using HTChunk_ensure() and writing data past the "size". * Optimized the code in HTMIME.c and HTML.c to use HTChunk_truncate(chunk,0) rather than HTChunk_clear(chunk). * Documented the new HTChunk_setSize() function. * Improved the comments for HTChunk_clear(). * Fixed the comments for HTChunk_ensure() (it was describing the extra-size parameter incorrectly). * Fixed the comments for HTChunk_toString() (to indicate that the function destroys the chunk when handing off the CString data). * Fixed a few spelling errors in HTChunk.html. * Note: There are probably other places in the code that could be optimized to use truncate rather than clear, but I didn't have time to check each one to see if the chunk's data was properly respecting the size indicator or not. 2000-08-09 Jose Kahan <jose@w3.org> * Updated the "how to bootstrap section" with instructions on what to do if libtool and aclocal are installed in different directories. Thanks to Ken Olum and James Henstrige for the tips. 2000-08-08 Jens Meggers <jens@meggers.com> * The cache garbage collector (HTCacheGarbage()) could go into an endless loop when it tried to removed locked entries. The problem was that it wasn't checking the return code of HTCache_remove(). 2000-08-07 Wayne Davison <wayne@clari.net> * Changed the macro argument from "data" to "dp" in HTArray_firstObject() and HTArray_nextObject(). These macros are defined such that if the caller doesn't pass in a variable named exactly "data" as the second parameter, there will either be a syntax error generated during the compilation OR the wrong structure element will get referenced. This is because the macro argument "data" was the same name as the HTArray structure element that was being referenced in the macro.
