soup_check_version()) to introspection. [#771439, Rico
Tzschichholz]

[#769650, Michael Catanzaro]
* Updated translations:
British English, Greek, Polish
Changes in libsoup from 2.54.1 to 2.55.90:

1.x handshakes will now just fail with an error. (Firefox
and Chrome have both already switched to this behavior.)
[#765940, Dan Winship]
* Fixed the parsing of <double>s in the new GVariant-based
XMLRPC code. [#767707, Dan Winship]

* Updated po files for future gettext versions [Piotr Drąg]
* New/updated translations:
Occitan, Scottish Gaelic
Changes in libsoup from 2.54.0.1 to 2.54.1:
* *** IMPORTANT ***
Fixed an ABI break in 2.54.0 caused by adding a member to
SoupAuthClass; 2.54.1 is ABI-compatible with 2.53.92 and
earlier, but NOT with the anomalous 2.54.0. If you built
packages against 2.54.0, you will need to rebuild them
against 2.54.1.
* Fixed NTLM authentication when ntlm_auth from the latest
version of Samba is present. [#765106, Milan Crha]
* Updates to MSVC build, including for GSS-API support
[Chun-wei Fan]
* Updated translations:
Friulian
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.92 to 2.54.0.1:
* (2.54.0.1 fixes a build problem with the 2.54.0 tarball,
which would not build if you configured with
"--without-gnome". There are no other changes between 2.54.0
and 2.54.0.1.)
* Fixed examples/simple-httpd on Windows [#758759, Chun-wei
Fan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.53.90 to 2.53.92:
* libsoup now supports HTTP "Negotiate"/GSSAPI/Kerberos
authentication. It must be enabled specifically by the
application and is also subject to certain other
restrictions, some of which are not yet controllable through
the API. [#587145, Guido Guenther, Tomas Popela, David
Woodhouse, Dan Winship]
* Added support for building under MSVC [#758759, Chun-wei
Fan]
* Fixed a problem with the 2.53.90 tarball that caused

* Make it possible to build from git without gtk-doc being
installed [Ignacio Casal Quinteiro]
* Updated translations:
Norwegian bokmål, Occitan
Changes in libsoup from 2.52.1 to 2.53.1:
* Really fixed build under MinGW for sure this time [Ignacio
Casal Quinteiro]
* Fixed SoupServer Web Sockets code so that the
SoupClientContext passed to a SoupServerWebsocketCallback is
fully usable (rather than crashing when you try to do most
things).
Changes in libsoup from 2.52.0 to 2.52.1:
* Fixed build under MinGW [Chun-wei Fan]
* Fixed build with --disable-introspection [#755389, Quentin
Glidic]
* Fixed HTTP authentication protection space handling for
files directly under the root directory. [#755617, Carlos
Garcia Campos]

an authenticated proxy. [#756076, Carlos Garcia Campos]
* Updated translations:
German, Vietnamese
Changes in libsoup from 2.51.92 to 2.52.0:
* Removed duplicate test paths from tests/date so it will pass
with glib 2.46.0
Changes in libsoup from 2.51.90 to 2.51.92:
* Added g_autoptr() support for all libsoup types. [#754721,
Kalev Lember]

soup_uri_normalize() [#754776, Jens Georg]
* Updated translations:
Polish
Changes in libsoup from 2.51.3 to 2.51.90:
* Added a new GVariant-based XMLRPC API, and deprecated the
old GValue-based API (along with the associated
GValue-manipulating utilities). [#746495, Xavier Claessens]
* Multiple build fixes for Visual Studio [#752952, Chun-wei Fan]
* Added VAPI generation [#750679, Daniel Espinosa]
* Fixed the mode bits on soup-cookie.c, which was previously
marked executable for some reason. [rh #1247285]
* Updated translations:
Norwegian bokmål, Portuguese, Thai, Turkish
Changes in libsoup from 2.50.0 to 2.51.3:

#749397]
* Fixed some compiler warnings [#748514, Philip Withnall]
* New/Updated translations:

Basque, Chinese (Taiwan), Danish, Indonesian,
Norwegian bokmål
Changes in libsoup from 2.49.91.1 to 2.49.92:
* Fixed an NTLM problem that caused spurious "Authentication
Failed" errors in evolution-ews. [#735197]
* New/updated translations:
Bosnian, Czech, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Korean, Lithuanian,
Polish, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish
Changes in libsoup from 2.49.1 to 2.49.91.1:
* WebSockets! Libsoup now has support for WebSockets in both
SoupSession and SoupServer. [#627738, Dan Winship and Lionel
Landwerlin, based on code from the Cockpit project]
* The WebSocket code in libsoup 2.49.91 did not build on
32-bit architectures. 2.49.91.1 was released to fix
this.
* Added support for NTLMv2 Session Security to SoupAuthNTLM.
(This is transparent to the app/user; if the server supports
it, it will be used.) [#739192, Adam Seering]
* Added soup_server_accept_iostream() to allow feeding a
non-GSocketConnection GIOStream to SoupServer (eg, when
accepting HTTP requests on some other sort of connection).
[#744186, Marc-André Lureau]
* Added soup_session_steal_connection() and
soup_client_context_steal_connection(), to allow you to
steal a GIOStream from a SoupSession or SoupServer and then
use it for non-HTTP purposes. [#721343, Dan Winship]
* Added soup_server_add_early_handler(), for adding SoupServer
handlers to run at :got-headers time rather than :got-body
(eg, to set up a streaming read of the request body).
[#625645, Dan Winship]
* Added a new SOUP_MESSAGE_IGNORE_CONNECTION_LIMITS flag,
which can be used to bypass SoupSession:max-conns and
SoupSession:max-conns-per-host on a per-message basis.
[#744720, Carlos Garcia Campos]
* Multiple SoupCache fixes from Carlos Garcia Campos:
* Leaked resources are now cleaned up when opening the
cache. [#667682]
* The "Age" header is no longer added to cached
responses. [#741108]
* Fixed the interpretation of the "must-revalidate"
directive to not be stricter than required. [#744468]
* Messages retrieved from cache now behave slightly more
like non-cache messages in terms of SoupSession
signals and timing. [#744788] Additionally, there is a
new SoupMessage::starting signal, which is like
SoupSession::request-started, but emitted for cached
resources as well. [#731153]
* Fixed soup_session_cancel_message() to work reliably on
paused messages. [#745094, Sven Neumann]
* Added code-coverage support to the build. [#744744,
Marc-André Lureau]
* Fixed the library symbol check in "make check" to work when
building with linker options that result in slightly
different organization. [#741348, Iain Lane]
* Added a hack to SoupSessionFeature so that people will stop
re-reporting an old Eclipse bug against libsoup. [#710242]
* Miscellaneous bug and leak fixes in the test programs, leak
fixes in libsoup, and documentation updates.
* Updated translations:
Brazilian Portuguese, French, Galician, Hungarian, Slovak,
Slovenian, Spanish, Turkish
Changes in libsoup from 2.48.0 to 2.49.1:
* Fixed a bug in the SoupMessage:event signal that broke
evolution's ability to connect to https hosts with "bad"
certificates. [#739951, Dan Winship]
* Fixed a case where the async codepaths could potentially
block on a synchronous write [#727138, Dan Winship]
* Fixed the symbol soup_server_set_ssl_cert_file() to get
exported, and added soup_server_get_uris() to the
documentation. [Tristan Van Berkom]
* Improved a bunch of introspection annotations [#729987, Evan
Nemerson]
* Clarified some documentation. [Tristan Van Berkom, Dan
Winship]
* Fixed Windows build, twice [#738003, Kouhei Sutou, and
#738551, Kalev Lember].
* Updated translations:
Bengali (Indian), Chinese (Traditional), Italian, Latvian,
Serbian, Telugu, Ukranian
Changes in libsoup from 2.47.92 to 2.48.0:
* Updated translations:
Bengali (India), Danish, German, Hindi, Kannada, Punjabi
Changes in libsoup from 2.47.4 to 2.47.92:
* Fixed a crash in SoupCache when receiving certain invalid
Cache-Control headers. [#733587, Raveendra Karu]
* Updated translations:
Assamese, Basque, Catalan (Valencian), Catalan, Chinese
(Traditional), French, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian,
Korean, Marathi, Norwegian bokmål, Oriya, Polish, Swedish,
Tamil
Changes in libsoup from 2.47.3 to 2.47.4:
* Fixed two crashes that could occur in multithreaded use
(in particular, with the latest git gvfs). [#732783,
#732925, Ross Lagerwall]
* Fixed the handling of data: URIs with base64-encoded data
but no explicit MIME type. [#732112, Raveendra Karu]. Added
tests for this and other data: URI cases. [Dan]
* Fixed a bug in SoupAuthNTLM that affected 28-character-long
passwords. [#732087, David Woodhouse]
* Fixed tests to pass with GLib git master (which warns if you
use deprecated GObject properties, and which also caught a
mutex-handling bug in test-utils.c)
* Updated translations:
Galician, Greek, Lithuanian, Russian
Changes in libsoup from 2.46.0 to 2.47.3:
* Added new-and-improved SoupServer API, and deprecated much
of the existing API:
* Servers can now listen on multiple ports, including
listening on both IPv4 and IPv6 (which is the default
behavior when using the new API), or serving both http
and https from a single SoupServer.
* You can create a SoupServer from an existing listening
socket (either a file descriptor or a GSocket).
* When using the new APIs, SoupServer now obeys the
thread-default GMainContext rather than using the
:async-context property.
* soup_server_set_ssl_cert_file() allows setting the
certificate and key files with feedback if it fails
(unlike the old construct-time "ssl-cert-file" and
"ssl-key-file" properties, which fail with a
g_warning() and a NULL return from g_object_new() if
they fail).
* SoupClientContext has new methods that return GSocket
and GSocketAddress, rather than SoupSocket and
SoupAddress.
* SoupSession now has a :tls-interaction property, which can
be used to add a GTlsInteraction to a session, allowing it
to provide a client-side certificate if the server requests
one. [#334021, Colin Walters]
* soup_session_abort() no longer tries to close active
connections, which was causing crashes in evolution
[rh#1093314]
* Fixed a GMainContext-handling bug that could cause crashes
in gstreamer's souphttpsrc. [#729737, Dmitry Shatrov]
* Fixed a memory leak when requesting to delete a cookie that
didn't exist [Joseph Artsimovich]
* Updated translations:
Brazilian Portuguese, Czech, Hebrew, Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.45.92 to 2.46.0:
* (No changes, just a version bump)
Changes in libsoup from 2.45.90 to 2.45.92:
* Fixed problems with using an http proxy on port 80. [patch
from Slava Monich on libsoup-list]
* Plugged a small per-connection leak. [patch from Slava
Monich on libsoup-list]
* Belatedly bumped up the glib requirement to 2.38, which is
required for the TAP driver.
* Fixed up some leftover issues from the test porting to
gtestutils:
test-utils: change http_debug command-line flag
xmlrpc-test: use g_test_skip()
redirect-test: remove a flaky test
auth-test: remove some erroneous SKIP_IF_NO_APACHEs
tests: split up some test programs into more tests
tests: remove debug_printf()s that are redundant with test names
tests: use g_test_bug() to annotate test cases
Changes in libsoup from 2.45.3 to 2.45.90:
* Fixed a problem where libsoup would use the "http" proxy
settings for "https" requests [#724316, Matt Barnes]
* Updated SoupContentSniffer to match the current version of
the MIME sniffing specification [#648849 / #715126, Gustavo
Noronha Silva]
* Updated the soup-tld APIs to accept ASCII-encoded hostnames
in addition to UTF-8 ones.
* Ported the test programs to the gtestutils framework, added
support for installed tests, and made the tests use the TAP
driver.
Some tests still need to be split up into more pieces, and
the debug output is now somewhat less useful in some cases.
* Fixed the test programs to not depend on local proxy
settings.
* Added some more checks to header-tests [#722341, Lionel
Landwerlin]
* Fixed the "simple-proxy" example program, which had been
broken for a while.
* Updated translations:
Korean
Changes in libsoup from 2.44.1 to 2.45.3:
* The documentation has finally been updated to reflect the
new APIs added in 2.42.
* Added GBytes-valued :request-body-data and
:response-body-data properties to SoupMessage, which should
help some bindings.
* We now set TCP_NODELAY on sockets, improving throughput a
bit. In particular, this avoids an unnecessary extra round
trip in the TLS handshake.
* The SoupSession APIs that return GErrors now return the
actual underlying gio errors in the event of connection
failures and the like.
* Updated the copy of the Public Suffix list used by soup-tld.
* Fixed a hang with internet radio streams in Rhythmbox (and
some other places). [#710494, Dan]
* Fixed a connection leak when cancelling the close of
a message GInputStream. [#711260, Dan]
* Updated the soup_server_pause_message() /
soup_server_unpause_message() documentation to clarify when
you can and can't call them. [#710602, Philip Withnall]
* soup_message_set_request() and soup_message_set_response()
now g_warn_if_fail() if you pass an invalid Content-Type.
(And they also have better introspection annotations.)
[#686766, Dan]
* Plugged a few memory leaks [#711085, Christophe Fergeau]
* Fixed connection-test to pass with current glib [#711361,
Colin Walters]
* session-test now passes when run against the dummy TLS
backend (ie, if you don't have glib-networking installed),
as long as you have the latest glib.
* Fixed build with -Werror=format-nonliteral [#720082, Ryan
Lortie]
* Fix build with --without-ntlm [#710267, Dan]
* Fixed a few warnings [Dan, Fabiano Fidêncio]
* Tests are now more verbose by default under "make check",
since current automake just redirects all the output to a
log file anyway.
* Updated translations:
Chinese
Changes in libsoup from 2.44.0 to 2.44.1:
* If you called g_input_stream_close() on SoupMessage or
SoupRequests's GInputStream before you finished reading it,
it would block until the rest of the response had been read
(which in the case of, eg, an infinite audio stream, meant
that it would block forever). This was an unintended change
from 2.42 and is now fixed. [#695652, Dan]
* soup_session_queue_message() on a plain SoupSession (not
SoupSessionAsync) was operating synchronously rather than
asynchronously as it should have. [#707711, Dan]
* soup-form methods now use the HTML5 x-www-form-urlencoded
rules rather than the HTML4 ones. (In particular, they leave
"-", "_", and "." unencoded.) [#708621, Alban Browaeys]
* The test programs now explicitly request the "memory"
GSettings backend, meaning they won't print a warning if
they get it accidentally, and they won't accidentally use
the dconf proxy settings if the dconf backend is available.
[Dan]
* Fix SoupSession so that if you override the proxy
configuration at construct time, it doesn't try to resolve
the default GProxyResolver. (This is important in particular
for programs that expect to run outside a user session,
which would otherwise spew errors from the dconf GSettings
backend about not being able to connect to dconf.) Likewise
with TLS settings and the TLS backend. [#708696, Dan]
* Fix the SoupServer:tls-certificate property;
soup_server_is_https() had not been updated to recognize it,
and so would return FALSE, which in turn meant that the
server would return 400 Bad Request in response to https
requests. [#709647, Fabiano Fidêncio]
* Fixed a sporadic failure in tests/connection-test. [Dan]
* Updated translations:
Tajik
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.92 to 2.44.0:
* New/updated translations:
Dutch, Indonesian
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.90 to 2.43.92:
* Fixed a bug in the connection-pool code, which would in
certain cases accidentally keep using a connection after a
message was cancelled while in progress, causing the next
request on that connection to get the response to the
previous request, etc. [#708006, David Woodhouse]
* Fixed some problems when falling back from samba
single-sign-on-based NTLM to ordinary ask-for-a-password
NTLM. [#703186, David Woodhouse]
* When sending a conditional GET request, SoupCache now
preserves the original message's list of disabled features,
ensure that it gets back the same kind of response the
original message would have. [#706338, Andre Moreira
Magalhaes]
* Fixed a warning when the remote host closes the connection
while we are writing something using chunked encoding.
[#703297, Dan]
* Added SoupServer:http-aliases and :https-aliases properties,
to specify URI schemes that should be treated as though they
were http (just like SoupSession:http-aliases and
:https-aliases, but on the server side). [#703694, Dan]
* Fixed race conditions in cache-test and timeout-test that
could case spurious failures. [#698305, #660581, Dan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.5 to 2.43.90:
* Fixed the handling of unsatisfiable range requests in
SoupServer [pointed out on mailing list, Dan]. Also, added
more documentation clarifying that you don't need to handle
range requests yourself in many cases.
* Fixed the handling of IPv6 address literals with scope IDs.
(Requires the latest glib as well for the complete fix.)
[#669724, Dan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.4 to 2.43.5:
* SoupProxyURIResolver is now deprecated in favor of the
SoupSession:proxy-resolver property (which takes a
GProxyResolver). [#680273, Dan]
* The SoupKnownStatusCode enum is now called SoupStatus. The
old name continues to exist as an alias, but is deprecated.
(This change has no visible effect in C; it is primarily to
help language bindings, so that, eg, SOUP_STATUS_NOT_FOUND
maps to "Soup.Status.NOT_FOUND" rather than
"Soup.KnownStatusCode.NOT_FOUND".) [#684409, Dan]
* Fixed the parsing of URI schemes in SoupURI (in particular,
to allow scheme names with digits in them). [#703776, Dan]
* Fixed SoupLogger to print a message's response headers even
if the message gets cancelled before the complete response
body is received. [#703200, Andres Gomez]
* Fixed a build problem in non-UTF-8 locales [#702534, Ross
Lagerwall]
* SoupSession now warns if you use
soup_session_pause_message() or
soup_session_unpause_message() on a synchronous message
(which has never worked, though that fact wasn't
documented). [#703461, Philip Withnall]
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.2 to 2.43.4:
* Fixed a bug that could cause synchronous sessions to get
stuck in a state where no new messages would ever get
processed. [#703463, Philip Withnall]
* Fixed another memory leak in SoupSocket (found while
added a test case for #700472)
* Switched to using g_cclosure_marshal_generic() rather than
using glib-genmarshal. [#686042, Olivier Blin]
* Changed SoupServer to call unref() on the query hash table
after calling the handler, rather than destroy(), so that
the handler can keep a copy of the query data if it wants.
[#702793, Bernhard Schuster]
* Fixed a few introspection annotations
* Updated examples/get to use SoupLogger and to allow
redirecting the output to a file [#703231, #703229, Andres
Gomez]
Changes in libsoup from 2.43.1 to 2.43.2:
* Fixed an authentication error when using NTLM when
connecting to an https site over a proxy; the code was
getting confused and thinking that the 200 OK response to
the CONNECT meant that NTLM auth had succeeded. [#698728,
Dan]
* Fixed a memory leak in SoupSocket. [#700472, Richard
Röjfors]
* Fixed a missing include error on some platforms [#700003,
Erik van Pienbroek]
* Fixed warnings when running against the "dummy" TLS backend.
[#700518, Dan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.42.1 to 2.43.1:
* Including <libsoup/soup.h> no longer pulls in the system
networking headers. This may cause some packages to no
longer compile, if they were accidentally depending on this.
Adding "#include <gio/gnetworking.h>" will fix them on both
unix and Windows. (This was done as part of fixing the build
on Windows.) [#692134, Dan]
* Fixed SoupSession:proxy-resolver [#698163, Dan]
* Added soup_message_set_priority(), to mark messages as being
high, low, or normal priority, and update the message queue
to prioritize them accordingly. [#696277, Sergio]
* Fixed several test programs to still work if glib-networking
isn't installed [Dan], and fixed another to still work if
the kernel has no IPv6 support. [#698220, Dan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.42.0 to 2.42.1:
* Fixed SoupProxyResolverDefault, which got broken in 2.42.92.
[#697028, Dan]
* Fixed a gigantic memory leak when using SoupCache. [#696594,
Xan]
* Fixed a build problem on Windows. [#696354, Kalev Lember]
* Fixed ntlm-test to pass whether or not Samba ntlm_auth
support was compiled in. [#697510, Dan]
* New/updated translations:
Basque, Turkish
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.92 to 2.42.0:
* Fixed a compiler warning on 32bit in a test program. [Kalev
Lember]
* New/updated translations:
Hindi, Kannada, Korean, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Persian,
Tadjik, Tamil, Telugu
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.91 to 2.41.92:
* Fixed a bug that caused libsoup to retry an incorrect
password repeatedly, forever, in a certain case that
affected Google calendars in evolution in particuar.
[Red Hat bug #916224, Dan]
* Also added code to make such infinite retry loops impossible
in the future. [Dan]
* Fixed SoupRequestData's handling of URIs with "%00" in them.
[#695246, Žan Doberšek]
* Added the SoupSession:proxy-resolver property, to override
the GProxyResolver used by a session. (This means there are
now three different ways of controlling proxy resolution in
SoupSession... this will be cleaned up a bit after 2.42.)
[#680273, Dan]
* Added missing G_BEGIN_DECLS/G_END_DECLS to
soup-message-headers.h, so that its functions can be called
from C++. [Carlos Garcia Campos]
* Updated translations:
Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, Catalan
(Valencian), Catalan, Danish, Estonian, French, Greek,
Gujarati, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Portuguese, Russian,
Slovenian, Thai
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.90 to 2.41.91:
* Fixed a crash that showed up with XMLRPC requests in
WebKitGTK. [#694920, Sergio]
* Fixed SoupCache to update the cached headers when it
receives a 304 Not Modified response, and added a test for
this. [#695121, Sergio]
* libsoup now builds under automake 1.13 (and "make check"
works under the parallel test harness which is the default
in 1.13) [#694135]
* The tests/ directory now contains only actual test programs
that are run by "make check", and the programs that are
intended more as example code are under examples/.
* New/updated translations:
Aragonese, Chinese (traditional), Czech, Galician, Hebrew,
Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Punjabi, Spanish, Uyghur,
Vietnamese
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.5 to 2.41.90:
* Added SoupSession:local-address property, which allows you
to force connections to bind to a particular local address
(eg, to control the interface that is used). [#693215, Jonh
Wendell]
* Fixed SoupCache to properly handle messages that get
cancelled, and added tests for this. [#692310, Sergio]
* Fixed a reference leak in SoupCache that resulted in
epiphany hanging for several seconds on exit and then
eventually printing "Cache flush finished despite X pending
requests". And added more tests. [#682527, Sergio]
* Fixed SoupAuthNTLM so that SoupSession:authenticate gets
emitted with retrying=TRUE if the first attempt fails (ie,
make it work the same way as SoupAuthBasic and
SoupAuthDigest). [#693222, Dan]
* Fixed the SoupSession:add-feature-by-type property to accept
non-SoupSessionFeature features as well (eg, auth types)
[Dan]
* Fixed a build bug that would break all the apache-based
tests if you didn't have PHP installed. [#693311, Dan]
* Updated translations:
Malayalam, Polish, Serbian, Slovak
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.4 to 2.41.5:
* Reverted the change to SoupURI's password handling from
2.41.4, since it turns out to have broken some things.
[#692149, Dan]
* Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when loading
SoupSession:ssl-ca-file fails. [#691930, Guillaume
Desmottes]
* Fixed a bug in SoupBodyInputStream that caused redirects in
WebKitGTK to hang. [#692026, Sergio]
* Updated translations:
Belarusian, Chinese (traditional), German, Italian,
Norwegian bokmål, Serbian, Uyghur
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.3 to 2.41.4:
* Lots of docs fixes, including catching up with some (but not
all!) of the API additions and deprecations, and a new
chapter with hints on porting from
SoupSessionAsync/SoupSessionSync to the new-and-improved
plain SoupSession.
* The plain SoupSession type now supports
soup_session_queue_message() (with SoupSessionAsync
semantics) and soup_session_send_message() (with
SoupSessionSync semantics), and there are now
soup_session_new() and soup_session_new_with_options().
* The mirroring of the SoupMessage API onto SoupRequestHTTP,
added in 2.41.3, has been reverted. However, new APIs
soup_session_send() and soup_session_send_async() have been
added that let you use the GInputStream-based API with
SoupMessages rather than SoupRequest, so if you're doing
HTTP-specific stuff, you can just use that instead.
* soup_message_get_https_status() now returns the certificate
and flags for unsuccessful https connections as well as
successful ones. [#690176]
* Fixed a deadlock when calling soup_session_abort() on a
SoupSessionSync in some cases. [#691399]
* Internal SoupCache rewrites/improvements [#682112, Sergio]
* Plugged a memory leak in SoupCache [#690382, Sudarsana
Nagineni] and one in SoupAuthDigest [#690142]
* LIBSOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED has been renamed to
SOUP_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, but that's just to keep gtk-doc
happy, and you shouldn't use it. You should use
SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED instead.
* Fixed the samba-windbind-based NTLM support, which appears
to have been broken before.
* SoupAuthManager is now a public class (so you can remove it
as a feature from a session, or disable it for a particular
message). It also has a new method
soup_auto_manager_use_auth(), which can be used to "preload"
authentication for a host so that libsoup will use
authentication on the very first request.
* SoupURI now treats "http://user@example.com" as having a
password of "" rather than NULL, since a NULL password would
not be valid for any known HTTP auth type.
* build: libsoup now uses autoreconf instead of
gnome-autogen.sh, and no longer uses AM_GLIB_GNU_GETTEXT
[Javier Jardon].
* Updated translations:
Assamese, Bulgarian, Estonian, Friulian, Galician, Hebrew,
Polish, Slovenian, Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.2 to 2.41.3 (codename: "I Left My
Deprecated APIs in A Coruña"):
* BUILD DEPENDENCY CHANGES: libsoup-gnome no longer depends on
libgnome-keyring, and the sqlite3 dependency has been moved
from libsoup-gnome to libsoup proper. (See below).
* SoupRequest is now stable API. SoupRequester, however, is
deprecated. Instead you can now call soup_session_request()
or soup_session_request_uri() to create a SoupRequest.
Some documentation has been updated to reflect this, but
much more still needs to be (in particular the "Client-side
Tutorial").
* SoupRequestHTTP now has a number of fields and methods that
mirror the SoupMessage data, so you don't have to use
soup_request_http_get_message() in many cases. On the flip
side, there is also now soup_message_get_request(). And you
can create a SoupRequestHTTP directly (and override its
request method) by using soup_session_request_http() or
soup_session_request_http_uri()).
* soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() is now deprecated; apps
that want to do streaming reads should just use SoupRequest,
which is vastly more sane.
* SoupPasswordManager is now deprecated, and
SoupPasswordManagerGNOME is now a no-op (and libsoup-gnome
no longer links against libgnome-keyring). [#594377, #679866]
* SoupCookieJarSqlite is now deprecated in favor of
SoupCookieJarDB, which is exactly the same thing except that
it's in libsoup itself rather than being in libsoup-gnome
(something that many people have requested). This means that
libsoup now requires sqlite3... if this offends you horribly
then you have a few months to speak up...
* SoupProxyResolverGNOME is now deprecated; there hasn't been
any real reason to use it since SoupProxyResolverDefault was
added.
* As a result of the last three items, libsoup-gnome now
consists entirely of deprecated APIs, and there is no reason
you should use it any more (though packagers need to keep
building it, for backward compatibility).
* SoupSession is no longer an abstract class, and you can
create a plain SoupSession, which behaves in a more
traditionally-gio-like way (allowing a mix of sync and async
methods, etc). This "plain" SoupSession also has more sane
default values of certain properties, and has certain
SoupSessionFeatures built in.
This will eventually replace SoupSessionAsync and
SoupSessionSync completely, but most of the documentation
hasn't yet been updated at this point...
This change involved merging the majority of the
SoupSessionAsync and SoupSessionSync code into SoupSession,
getting rid of lots of redundancy in the process. There may
be some bug fallout from this (probably on the
SoupSessionSync side, since WebKit's tests tend to shake out
all SoupSessionAsync bugs). However, this should help to
avoid SoupSessionSync-only bugs in the future, since much
more of the code is now shared.
* Usernames and passwords passed into SoupSession a URI will
now be cleared after they're used, so that if they are
wrong, the authenticate signal will be emitted on the next
round. [#689673, Martin Robinson]
* SoupURI now leaves "%00" in URIs as-is, rather than decoding
it to "\0", which was not intended and is never useful.
* Fixed a bug in SoupBodyOutputStream that could cause libsoup
to sometimes use blocking I/O rather than non-blocking when
writing chunked message bodies. [#688974, Milan Plzik]
* Fixed a bug in SoupFilterInputStream that could cause some
non-blocking reads to suck up CPU while waiting for the
network. (This was noticed with multipart/x-mixed-replace
processing; it's not clear if it affected anything else.)
[Gustavo]
* tests: misc small fixes
* New/updated translations:
Assamese, Galician, Japanese, Odia, Polish, Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.41.1 to 2.41.2:
* libsoup-2.4.so and libsoup-gnome-2.4.so now only export the
symbols that are part of the public API. (Plus, temporarily,
one additional symbol, soup_message_io_cleanup, which is
used by gvfs and possibly a few other modules, even though
it shouldn't be. If you copied soup-input-stream.c from
gvfs, you should port your code to use SoupRequest instead.)
[Dan, #595176]
* Added SOUP_VERSION_MIN_REQUIRED / SOUP_VERSION_MAX_ALLOWED
macros like the corresponding glib ones, to allow libsoup
users to request per-version deprecation/availability
warnings. [Dan]
* Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync,
and reorganized some code to avoid other possible similar
race conditions. [#684238, Dan]
* Fixed a crash when a DNS resolution failed, caused by a bug
in the GTask porting in 2.41.1. [#688330, Milan Crha]
* Fixed a problem that would cause g_warning()s in epiphany
when browsing sites that (incorrectly) returned empty
Cache-Control headers. [#683433, Dan]
* We now add a Host header to HTTP/1.0 requests as well as
HTTP/1.1 ones. [Dan]
* Fixed a bug in the printing of IPv6 address literals in the
Host header in SoupLogger. (They were being sent across the
wire correctly, they were just printed wrong by SoupLogger.)
[Dan]
* Belatedly added soup-multipart-input-stream.h to soup.h.
[Dan]
* Removed an evil hack in the long-deprecated
SoupProxyResolver code (not to be confused with
SoupProxyURIResolver), to avoid warnings with glib master.
If you had previously implemented a custom
SoupProxyResolver, then it will probably (silently) stop
working, but you should have ported it to
SoupProxyURIResolver years ago anyway... [Dan, #687659]
* Fixed a few race conditions in the test programs that could
cause "make check" to fail on slow or heavily-loaded
machines. [Dan]
* Further cleaned up and reorganized the internal HTTP I/O
codepaths, in preparation for an improved SoupCache.
[#682112, Sergio] (This change should not actually be
externally noticeable. But if SoupContentDecoder or
SoupContentSniffer turns out to be broken in this release,
this would be why).
* New/updated translations:
Slovak, Uyghur
Changes in libsoup from 2.40.1 to 2.41.1:
* Changed the behavior of NTLM authentication to be more like
what other apps apparently do. Now if the user does not
specify a domain in the username (eg, "MYDOMAIN\username"),
then we will not specify a domain in the NTLM response
(rather than assuming that the user is in the server's
default domain). People who get broken by this change should
be able to fix it by including an explicit domain in their
username, but the theory is that no one should get broken by
this... If this change does turn out to hurt more than it
helps then it may be reverted later. [#624613, Dan, based on
a suggestion from David Woodhouse]
* Fixed a crash caused by a race condition in SoupSessionSync.
[#684238, Dan]
* SoupRequest now supports resource:// URIs, for reading from
gresource. [#682721, Carlos]
* Added new compile-time and runtime APIs for checking the
libsoup version. [#684514, Martin Robinson]
* Updated to take advantage of (and require) glib 2.35;
removed all g_type_init() calls and ported to GTask. [Dan]
* Added support for Apache 2.4 to the unit tests. [Dan]
* New translations:
Uzbek (Cyrillic)
Changes in libsoup from 2.40.0 to 2.40.1:
* Improved the parsing of multipart/x-mixed-replace responses.
[#685752, Gustavo]
* Fixed handling of IPv6 address literals. [#684990, Dan]
* New/updated translations:
Catalan, Catalan (Valencian), Norwegian bokmål
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.92 to 2.40.0:
* New/updated translations:
Bengali (India), Bulgarian, Chinese (Simplified), Estonian,
German, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Latvian, Malayalam,
Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, Thai, Ukranian
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.91 to 2.39.92:
* Fixed some g_warnings (and a possible crash) with the
soup_request_send_async(). [#683404, Dan]
* Fixed a hang with SoupSessionSync [#682923, Dan]
* Handle empty "Cache-Control" headers. [Sergio]
* New/updated translations:
Assamese, Belarusian, Brazilian Portuguese, British English,
Chinese (Traditional), Czech, Danish, French, Galician,
Greek, Gujarati, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Lithuanian,
Marathi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian,
Slovenian, Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.90 to 2.39.91:
* Added missing (transfer full) annotation to
soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie() and
soup_cookie_jar_add_cookie_with_first_party(), fixing
crashes in bindings. [#682554, Daniel Drake]
* Fixed a crash [#682569, Alexander Larsson] and a win32 build
problem [#683200, Kalev Lember] introduced by the memory
leak fixes in 2.39.90
* Fixed the SoupMessage:network-event signal, which had been
skipping the G_SOCKET_CLIENT_COMPLETE state in tunneled
https connections. And added a test for this. [Dan]
* New/updated translations:
French, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish,
Punjabi, Swedish, Tamil
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.5 to 2.39.90:
* Added SoupMultipartInputStream, for handling multipart
responses (particularly multipart/x-mixed-replace).
[#656684, Gustavo]
* Fixed a potential crash in SoupSessionAsync after the
session is finalized.
* Fixed a regression in soup_tls_is_public_suffix() [#681085,
Sergio]
* Added a SOUP_MESSAGE_IDEMPOTENT flag, so that apps can
bypass the "POSTs must be sent on new connections" check,
which was causing evolution-ews to have to create a new
connection for every request. [#681493, Milan Crha]
* Changed SoupSession so that pending SoupMessages now hold a
ref on the session. It is possible that this will break code
that was depending on the old, dumb, behavior (where
unreffing the session with messages pending would cause
those messages to be cancelled), in which case this will be
reverted before 2.40.
* Fixed memory leaks found by valgrind.
* Cleaned up some code in SoupCache. [#681509, Sergio]
* New/updated translations:
Bengali (India), Chinese (Traditional), German, Marathi,
Turkish, Ukranian
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4.1 to 2.39.5:
* Fixed several bugs in the soup-message-io updates that could
cause hangs or I/O errors. [#679527 and other bugs not filed
in bugzilla]
* Fixed SoupServer:async-context to work properly again
* Further fixes to soup_uri_normalize() when using the
"unescape_extra" parameter. [#680018]
* Fixed soup_xmlrpc_parse_method_call() to handle the case
where there is no <params> element (which is legal).
[#671661]
* Fixed the deprecation warning on soup_message_headers_get()
[#680143]
* Added warnings to some erroneous SoupSocket usages rather
than returning bogus data. [#673083, Simon McVittie]
* Fixed build under Windows/MinGW
* SoupSocket no longer emits the "readable" signal when a
socket is disconnected if that socket is non-blocking.
* Updated public suffix list to the current version.
* New/Updated translations:
Assamese, Chinese (simplified), Esperanto, Galician, Greek, Gujarati,
Hebrew, Norwegian bokmål, Russian, Serbian, Slovenian
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.4 to 2.39.4.1:
* Fixed indentation problems in tld-parser.py so it will work
under python 3. [#680089, "marduk"]
* Actually fixed cookies in non-suffixed/private domains,
which still didn't work after the last fix. [#679230,
Carlos]
* Updated translations:
Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.3 to 2.39.4:
* Fixed the SoupRequest codepaths to properly retry in the
case where the server closes a persistent connection when we
try to use it. [Dan, might be the fix for #679527, but this
is not yet confirmed]
* Fixed the content-type and content-length of requests
retrieved from SoupCache. [#680029, Carlos Garcia Campos]
* Fixed the handling of cookies in non-suffixed and private
domains ("localhost", "foo.local", etc) [#679230, Sergio and
Dan]
* Fixed cookie parsing to allow attribute values on "secure"
and "HttpOnly". (Neither is supposed to have a value, but it
happens in the real world.) [#678753, Dan, based on a patch
from "Basavaraj"]
* Fixed soup_uri_normalize() to not always run the "fixup"
codepath. [#680018, pointed out by Yann Soubeyrand]
* Fixed a (rare) crash when closing the stream returned from
SoupRequestHTTP. [Dan]
* Use G_DEPRECATED on deprecated functions, and then fix up
the warnings this caused due to libsoup using its own
deprecated functions. [#671770, Javier Jardón]
* Fixed up "make dist" by, among other things, rewriting
tld-parser in python. [#678909, Colin Walters]
* Removed the "getbug" example program in tests/, which didn't
work any more anyway. [Dan]
* Various internal code cleanups. [Dan] Fixed one crash
resulting from this [#680055, Alban Browaeys]; hopefully
there won't be any more.
* New/Updated translations:
Assamese, Belarusian, Bulgarian, Chinese (traditional), Hebrew,
Indonesian, Lithuanian, Norwegian bokmål, Vietnamese
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.2 to 2.39.3:
* Added new functions for comparing domains against the
"public suffix" list (http://publicsuffix.org/), and in
particular fixed SoupCookieJar to not allow setting cookies
in "public" domains (eg, ".co.uk"). [#673802, Sergio]
* Added two new SoupCookieJar APIs
(soup_cookie_jar_get_cookies() and
soup_cookie_jar_set_cookie_with_first_party()) as part of
fixing the handling of HttpOnly cookies in WebKitGTK.
[#677922, Christophe Dumez]
* Fixed g-i annotation of
soup_message_headers_get_content_type(). [#677002, Dan]
* Updated translations:
Galician, Greek, Slovenian, Spanish, Telugu
Changes in libsoup from 2.39.1 to 2.39.2:
* Fixed several bugs that resulted from the I/O code rewrite
in 2.39.1, and added more test cases to exercise the new
code paths:
* Problems with cancelling messages from the
got-headers signal [#674747, Dan]
* Persistent connections were not always being closed
properly after a message was cancelled mid-response.
[Dan]
* Cancelling a SoupRequest before it started I/O
didn't work. [Dan]
* Asynchronous HTTP authentication via the SoupRequest
API [#675306, Dan]
* Memory leak [#676038, Ray Strode]
* Refcounting bug that manifested as a crash in rygel
[#676038, Ray Strode]
* Handling failed CONNECT requests via SoupRequest
[#675865, Sergio]
* Messages with trailing junk following a compressed
message body [#676477, Dan]
* Fixed three cache-related bugs that affect some sites
(notably Twitter) [Sergio]
* Fixed a bug in the /usr/bin/ntlm_auth integration when you
don't already have credentials cached, and avoid printing
warning messages when ntlm_auth is present but not usable.
[Dan]
* Fixed some g-ir-scanner warnings, and included
SoupRequester/SoupRequest in the introspected API [#676742,
Jasper St. Pierre]
* Added soup_buffer_get_as_bytes() [#676776, Jasper]
* New/updated translations:
Belarusian, Chinese (simplified), French, Galician, Greek,
Hebrew, Polish, Punjabi, Romanian, Slovenian, Spanish
Changes in libsoup from 2.38.1 to 2.39.1:
* Major rewrite of the I/O code to use gio streams more
directly. In particular, when using SoupRequestHTTP now, the
input stream that is returned is actually pulling data from
the socket, rather than just repeatedly pausing and
unpausing the underlying SoupMessage and waiting for data to
be pushed into it. This also means that SoupRequestHTTP now
works with SoupSessionSync as well. [#591739, Dan]
(The SoupRequest API is still protected by unstable-API
#ifdefs, but will be made public later in this cycle.)
* Libsoup now finally supports SOCKS proxies again. [#553269,
Dan]
* Certain error messages returned from the streaming API
(SoupRequest, etc) are now localized; more strings will be
localized later on.
* New translations: Galician, Hebrew, Indonesian, Norwegian
bokmål, Polish, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish.
* Added a SoupCookieJar:is-persistent property, to distinguish
memory-only jars from SoupCookieJarText and
SoupCookieJarSqlite. [#672838, Carlos Garcia Campos]
Changes in libsoup from 2.38.0 to 2.38.1:
* Fixed a situation where soup_connection_disconnect() could
end up calling g_object_unref(NULL) when an idle connection
was closed. [Sergio, #672178]
* Fixed two warnings when cancelling an in-progress
soup_socket_connect_async(). [pointed out on the mailing
list by Sven Neumann]
* Fixed a crash when disposing a SoupServer with open
connections. [#673468, Jonny Lamb]
* Fixed the SoupSession:ssl-use-system-ca-file property to get
turned off (rather than on) when you set it to FALSE... Also
fixed up the property notifications around the various
certificate-verification properties (ssl-ca-file,
ssl-use-system-ca-file, and tls-database).
* Fixed SoupSession to not leak paused SoupMessages that
were still in progress when it was unreffed. [#673905]
* Updated the win32 file: URI code again, to fix regressions
in the WebKit tests. [WebKit bug #82484]
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.92 to 2.38.0:
* Minor documentation fixes
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.91 to 2.37.92:
* Added soup_session_prefetch_dns() and deprecated
soup_session_prepare_for_uri(). The new method takes a
completion callback, allowing you to know how many DNS
resolutions are currently outstanding, so you don't spam the
resolver. [Sergio, WebKit bug #41630]
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.90 to 2.37.91:
* Fixed an out-of-bounds memory read that could occur when
parsing malformed requests/responses.
* Fixed a build-related bug in Makefile.glib that affected
locales such as Estonian where "Z" is not the last (ASCII)
letter of the alphabet. [#654395, Priit Laes]
* Fixed the handling of file: URIs with query components,
which got broken in 2.37.90.
* Fixed SoupAuthManagerNTLM to not fall back to allowing Basic
auth when NTLM failed.
* Further tweaked the warnings/fallback in SoupURI, so that
soup_uri_to_string() on an http URI with a NULL path would
translate that to "/" like it used to. [#670431]
* Fixed a warning when cancelling the load of a page with many
subresources. [#667245]
* Use G_GNUC_BEGIN/END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS if GLib is new
enough, to avoid getting warned about the use of
GValueArray.
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.5 to 2.37.90:
* libsoup is now beta-testing Makefile.glib from bug 654395.
If 2.37.90 fails to build in some strange way that 2.37.5
did not, this is probably why.
* Replaced some of the SoupURI g_return_if_fail()s that were
added in 2.37.5 with g_warn_if_fail()s. Although it had
always been documented that SoupURIs must have a non-NULL
path, most SoupURI functions treated NULL the same as "",
and various apps (eg, rhythmbox, midori) were accidentally
relying on this. [Dan]
* Added various return-if-fails and other sanity checks to
various functions. [#669479, Robert Swain, Mark Nauwelaerts,
Simon McVittie]
* Updated docs/annotation of soup_form_decode_multipart() to
note that all of the out parameters are (allow-none). Fixed
the file_control_name parameter to actually allow NULL like
the docs already claimed. [#669479, Simon McVittie]
* Fixed a minor URI parsing bug. (It was allowing URI schemes
to contain numbers.) [Dan]
* Fixed a few memory leaks introduced in the 2.37 cycle. [Dan]
* Fixed SoupServer to be able to correctly respond to HTTP/1.0
requests over IPv6 (which previously would always have
returned "400 Bad Request"). [#666399, Dan]
* Changed SoupSessionAsync to make it possible to finalize it
from the "wrong" thread. [#667364, Dan].
* Fixed SoupCache to not cache resources whose URIs have query
components (unless they have explicit cache headers); to not
generate broken conditional requests for resources that
cannot be conditionally validated; and to not spew warnings
when receiving invalid Cache-Control headers. [#668865,
Sergio].
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.4 to 2.37.5:
* Fixed a bug in SoupSession:use-thread-context [Dan]
* Fixed the case of cancelling a message from
SoupSession::request-started [#668098, Raphael Kubo da
Costa]
* Fixed a crash in epiphany when loading a page with more than
1000 or so images. [#668508, Dan]
* Fixed a bunch of cases involving invalid URLs found while
testing SoupServer against an HTTP protocol fuzzer. Also
fixed up some documentation/annotations and added some new
test cases. [#667637, Simon McVittie]
* Fixed SoupRequestFile to work on Windows. [Paweł Forysiuk]
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.3 to 2.37.4:
* SoupMessage now has a "network-event" signal that can be
monitored for information about DNS, proxy lookup, TCP
connections, and TLS handshakes. [Dan]
* The HTTP header parsing code now avoids hitting
g_return_if_fails() (and returns an error instead) in a few
cases of seriously-invalid headers. [#666316, Simon
McVittie, Dan]
* POSTs and other non-idempotent requests are now always sent
on newly-created connections. You can also force this
behavior on other messages by setting the
SOUP_MESSAGE_NEW_CONNECTION flag. [#578990, Dan]
* Server-closed idle connections are now detected ahead of
time on Windows, preventing occasional spurious "Connection
terminated unexpectedly" errors. (This had been fixed on
UNIX since 2.28, but the earlier fix didn't work with
WinSock.) [#578990, Dan]
* Plugged a leak in SoupRequestHTTP. [#667099, Xan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.2 to 2.37.3:
* Now requires glib 2.31
* Simplified SoupHTTPInputStream and SoupRequestHTTP, allowing
related simplifications in WebKit's ResourceHandleSoup. This
is an ABI-incompatible change, but SoupHTTPInputStream is an
unstable API. [#663451, Dan]
* Fixed a bug that caused the SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED
flag to always be cleared, causing epiphany to claim all
https pages were untrusted. [#665182, Dan]
* Fixed some bugs in the handling of SoupSession:http-aliases
and SoupSession:https-aliases.
* Fixed handling of ACLOCAL_FLAGS [#641470, Craig Keogh]
* Fixed SoupContentDecoder's "ignore Content-Encoding: gzip
because the server didn't actually mean it" hack to handle
x-gzip too.
* Clarified the documentation on SoupSession:ssl-strict
[#666280]
Changes in libsoup from 2.37.1 to 2.37.2:
* Fixed up the output of SoupDirectoryInputStream, thus
improving the display of local directories in WebKit-based
browsers. [#662266, Sergio]
* Fixed a bug introduced in 2.37.1 that caused some cancelled
SoupMessages to be leaked. [#662847, Sergio]
* Added new SoupSession properties "http-aliases" and
"https-aliases" that allow you to configure more explicitly
what URL protocols are treated as aliases for http (eg,
"dav:", "webcal:", etc), and which should be recognized as
meaning something else, (eg, "ftp:") [Dan]
* Added soup_session_would_redirect() and
soup_session_redirect_message(), to help users that want to
handle some or all redirects themselves. Added
soup_message_set_redirect() to make it easier to return
redirection responses from a SoupServer. [Dan]
* Added the SoupSession "use-thread-context" property, which
tells it to use GMainContexts in a gio-compliant way (and in
particular, allows having different messages running in
different GMainContexts on the same SoupSession, though only
to a limited extent since SoupSessionAsync is still not
thread-safe). In particular, this was added in order to
address WebKit bug 68238. [Dan]
* Made SoupURI %-encode non-ASCII characters when parsing
URIs, in particular to fix a problem with certain servers
sending syntactically invalid redirects that they would then
only interpret correctly if you fixed the syntax for them.
(@$!@#! Although the new code is probably more correct than
the old code anyway, so...) [#662806, Dan]
* Fixed a connection-handling bug that could cause problems
with servers that requested authentication and then timed
out the connection while the application was waiting for the
user to enter a password. [#660057, Dan]
* Made NTLM and Basic authentication handle some non-ASCII
usernames and passwords. (NTLM should handle most. It's
impossible to fix Basic in the general case.) [#576838,
Joachim Breitner, "sponsored by ITOMIG GmbH and the City of
Böblingen"]
* Added support for "deflate" Content-Encoding, so that we can
work with broken servers that insisted on using it even
though we explicitly indicated in the request headers that
we didn't support it. (@$#!#) [#661682, Sergio]
Changes in libsoup from 2.36.0 to 2.37.1:
* Fixed a problem with connections being assigned to multiple
requests at once after a redirection [#651146, Sergio]. Made
soup_session_pause/unpause_message() work in any state, not
just while the HTTP I/O is occurring, and used this to add a
test case for that bug. [Dan]
* Ported SoupSession to use GTlsDatabase internally, and added
two new properties, SoupSession:use-system-ca-file (to
specify that the session should use the default system
tlsdb) and SoupSession:tlsdb (to specify a specific tlsdb to
use). [Dan]
* Likewise, added SoupServer:tls-certificate, for specifying a
certificate/key for an https server to use.
* Made SoupHTTPInputStream use memory more efficiently.
[#659255, Sergio]
* Fixed soup_message_get_https_status() to return information
more reliably (with latest glib-networking).
* Bumped the glib requirement to 2.30.0; although libsoup does
not use any new glib 2.30 APIs, there are several important
bugfixes in glib between 2.28 and 2.30 that libsoup needs.
Currently libsoup builds against either glib 2.30.x or glib
2.31.x.
Changes in libsoup from 2.35.92 to 2.36.0:
* Improvements to gtk-doc documentation. [Dan]
Changes in libsoup from 2.35.90 to 2.35.92:
* Fixed a problem where SoupHTTPRequest response bodies could
be truncated. [#659256, Sergio]
* Fixed a bug in copying TLS information from SoupSocket to
SoupMessage, causing all https connections to be reported as
"untrusted" in epiphany. [Dan]
* Made SoupSession remove items from its host cache after a
while, so that if a host changes IP address, it will
eventually try to re-resolve it. [#646959, Sergio]
Changes in libsoup from 2.35.5 to 2.35.90:
* Added SOUP_MESSAGE_CAN_REBUILD flag, to use with
soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE) on a request body,
to indicate that the caller will recreate the request body
after it has been discarded if the message needs to be
re-sent. [#656650]
* Fixed the build on mingw-w64 by not using "interface" as
as variable name. [#656402, Erik van Pienbroek]
* (The multihosted https server regression mentioned in the
2.35.5 NEWS turned out to be a glib-networking bug, which is
fixed as of 2.29.18.)
Changes in libsoup from 2.35.4 to 2.35.5:
* Support NTLM single sign on via samba's /usr/bin/ntlm_auth.
[#650940, Mandy Wu]. This is enabled by default (if NTLM is
enabled for the session and the ntlm_auth binary is
available), but will fall back to the standard
password-based authentication if SSO fails.
* Default to TLS+extensions for https connections, falling
back to SSLv3-without-extensions (the old default) only if
the server fails to negotiate TLS. [#581342]
* As a result of this change, some users are currently
seeing problems with sites that serve multiple https
hosts from a single IP address (eg,
*.launchpad.net). There is no known workaround at
this time.
* Fixed a longstanding problem with https pages sometimes not
loading when using a proxy. [#631368, based on patches from
DongJae Kim and Thierry Reding]
* SoupContentSniffer: don't use gio's sniffing rules, since
the spec now recommends that browsers not do any additional
sniffing beyond what's in the spec. [#648846, "arno"]
* Fixed SoupRequestHTTP to work properly with alternate
GMainContexts. [#653707]
* Added some annotations from Vala's vapi files. [#655397,
Evan Nemerson]. Also, removed SoupProxyResolver from the
gir/typelib, since it had been deprecated since before
introspection was available, and it was being scanned wrong
anyway.
Changes in libsoup from 2.35.3 to 2.35.4:
* CVE-2011-2524: Fixed a security hole that caused some
SoupServer users to unintentionally allow accessing the
entire local filesystem when they thought they were only
providing access to a single directory. [#653258]
* Plugged another SoupCache memory leak [Xan]
* Simplified SoupCache keys, and handle collisions. [#649963,
Sergio]
* Annotate SoupSession:add-feature, etc, as (skip), so they
don't conflict with the methods of the same name. [#655150,
Jasper St. Pierre]
Changes in libsoup from 2.34.1 to 2.35.3:
* SoupCache fixes [Sergio]:
* Don't store hop-by-hop headers [#650094]
* Fix status code and headers of responses returned
from the cache after being revalidated [#649965]
* Added versioning support to the cache file format
[#652554] and extended it to keep track of the
status code [#649965]
* Fixed storage of time values in the cache [#653349]
* Fixed a use-after-free that could result in bogus
data being written to the cache [#650620]
* Various leaks [#649309]
* Work around an Apache bug where it tells browsers to
automatically decode .gz files but still keep the .gz in the
name. [#613361, Dan]
* Fixed an overflow when sending a response larger than 2^31
bytes (eg, streaming movies in Rygel). [#638468, Jens Georg]
* Always send the Keep-Alive header, not just to hosts we
already know to be HTTP/1.0 [#648680, Sergio]
* Fixed various leaks [#652699, Sergio], [#651643, Milan],
[etc, Xan]
* Minor build fix for Debian/Ubuntu [#648948]
* Fixed a docs typo
Changes in libsoup from 2.34.0 to 2.34.1:
* Two multipart forms/Content-Disposition fixes [Dan]:
* UTF-8-encoded header encoding/decoding rules updated
to match RFC 5987. In particular, a UTF-8-encoded
filename parameter in Content-Disposition will now
override an ASCII one.
* When not using UTF-8-encoded filenames in
Content-Disposition, always quote the filename,
since some servers erroneously fail to handle
non-quoted ones. [#641280]
* Fixed several memory leaks [Dan, Xan]
* Fixed decoding base64 data: URLs [#646896, Sergio]
* Simplified the libsoup-gnome build on Windows by dropping
the gnome-keyring dependency. [Fridrich Štrba]
* Fixed a bug in soup_uri_to_string() in which (invalid) port
numbers could be output as negative numbers (tripping up a
WebKit "sanity checking" test). [#647767, Sergio]
* Fixed a cache corruption bug in SoupCache. [#648285, Sergio]
* Fixed a crash in SoupSessionSync when using
soup_session_abort().
Changes in libsoup from 2.33.92 to 2.34.0:
* Fixed the GMainContext handling of the new
SoupProxyResolverDefault (which among other things fixes
gstreamer usage inside epiphany). [#646201, Sebastian Dröge]
* Tweaked the introspection Makefile rules to fix a problem
building on Debian/Ubuntu. [#645505]
* Belated bumped the shared library versioning to reflect the
API additions since 2.32.0
Changes in libsoup from 2.33.90 to 2.33.92:
* LIBSOUP NO LONGER DEPENDS ON GCONF OR LIBPROXY.
(see below).
* Added SoupProxyResolverDefault, which uses uses gio's
GProxyResolver to resolve proxies [#642982, Gustavo Noronha
Silva]. Despite the "default" in the name, it is not used by
default, for compatibility reasons, but it is available in
plain libsoup, not libsoup-gnome. (Of course, it depends on
having glib-networking installed.)
* Updated SoupProxyResolverGNOME to be based on
SoupProxyResolverDefault, but explicitly requesting the
"gnome" GProxyResolver if it is available [#625898], and
removed the old code that used GConf and libproxy directly.
* Added soup_server_disconnect(), to explicitly disconnect a
SoupServer, since it is not possible to g_object_unref() it
from memory-managed language bindings. [#638576, Andreas
Rottmann]
* SoupDate now parses month names case-insensitively [#644048,
Christian Dywan]
* Avoid a g_return_if_fail() when using
SOUP_COOKIE_JAR_ACCEPT_NO_THIRD_PARTY with non-http URIs
(file:, data:, etc). [#643226]
* SoupCookieJar now catches overflows when parsing very
distant dates [#643462, based on a patch from Mark
Starovoytov]
* Fixed a buggy interaction between request body streaming and
restarted requests [David Woodhouse]. Added some new tests
to tests/chunk-test.c to make sure that a specific
(unsupported!) way of using those methods would not get
broken in the future.
* Fixed soup_socket_get_remote_address(), which had been
broken since 2.33.4 (and which in turn caused
soup_client_context_get_address/_get_host to be broken).
[#645227]
Changes in libsoup from 2.33.6 to 2.33.90:
* Attempted to make libsoup's dependency on glib-networking
(for TLS support) more explicit, by requiring that
glib-networking be present at compile time unless the
builder explicitly passes "--disable-tls-check", and noting
that packagers should give libsoup a runtime dependency on
glib-networking.
* Fixed a bug in talking to servers with virtual hosts with
Unicode names (IDNs) [#642075]
* Added a "Connection: Keep-Alive" header when talking to
HTTP/1.0 hosts, to improve performance. [#640414, Sergio
Villar Senin]
* Changed SoupCache to not cache multipart/x-mixed-replace
content. [#642028, Sergio Villar Senin]
Changes in libsoup from 2.33.5 to 2.33.6:
* Made SoupSessionAsync do idle-connection cleanup more
sanely, resulting in faster load times for pages with lots
of subresources. [#639768, Sergio Villar Senin]
* Fixed soup_form_decode()'s behavior (and by extension,
SoupServer query string handling) with datasets that contain
multiple values for the same key, and added a test case.
[#639783, Sven Neumann]
* Fixed warnings pointed out by gcc 4.6, including a bug in
SoupCache that would cause unnecessary revalidations
[#640556].
* Belated copied a fix from the WebKit copy of soup-cache.c
into ours, and fixed a bug in the local copy of
soup-request-data.c [#641022, Sergio Villar Senin], in
preparation for making WebKit use the libsoup versions.
Changes in libsoup from 2.33.4 to 2.33.5:
* Fixed certain cases of soup_session_cancel_message() with
SoupSessionSync that could previously cause warnings or
crashes. [#637741]
Changes in libsoup from 2.32.2 to 2.33.4:
* SoupSocket now uses GSocketConnection and GTlsConnection
internally rather than making socket calls directly and
using GIOStream, and TLS is handled via glib's APIs rather
than using gnutls directly.
* The gzip Content-Encoding handler is now implemented using
GZlibDecompressor
* As a result of the above two changes, libsoup no longer
directly depends on gnutls, libgcrypt, or zlib, though it
still indirectly depends on zlib via glib and libxml2. Also,
although libsoup does not depend on glib-networking as a
build-time dependency, some "make check" tests will be
skipped if it is not installed.
* The SoupRequest/SoupCache code from WebKit has been
imported, but it is not yet recommended for general use, and
is not necessarily API stable. [#523100, Sergio Villar, with
the SoupRequest parts based on the Summer of Code work by
Gabriel Corvalan and the cache parts based on an earlier
patch by Xan Lopez]
* Added SoupMessage:tls-certificate and
SoupMessage:tls-errors, which give more information about
the certificate used to authenticate a TLS connection.
* It is now possible to disable Basic or Digest auth in a
session by using soup_session_remove_feature_by_type() with
SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_BASIC or SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_DIGEST. Likewise, the
right way to enable NTLM support now is to call
soup_session_add_feature_by_type() with SOUP_TYPE_AUTH_NTLM;
SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM is now deprecated.
* Allow setting cookies on file:// URIs, since other browsers
do, and WebKit has a test for it. [#603825]
* .gir/.typelib files now include C header/library information
(needed by vala and some other bindings) [#635395, Evan
Nemerson]
* Added annotations on soup_message_headers_get_content_type()
[Lucas Rocha] and SoupHTTPVersion [John Palmieri]
* Fixed a Set-Cookie processing leak [#636741, Jonathan
Jongsma]
Changes in libsoup from 2.32.1 to 2.32.2:
* Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused evolution-exchange
to get stuck and stop updating. [#634422]
* Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with apps using asynchronous
sessions from multiple threads (in particular, gupnp)
[#635101]
* Fixed the regression test for #631525 to not cause spurious
"make check" failures on some machines.
Changes in libsoup from 2.32.0 to 2.32.1:
* Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 with the use of persistent
connections that caused spurious "Connection terminated
unexpectedly" errors. [#631525, debugged by Sergio Villar]
* Fixed a regression in 2.32.0 that caused proxy-related
DNS errors to return SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than
SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE_PROXY.
* Usernames/passwords specified explicitly in request URIs now
override existing cached auth info. [#631679, Sergio Villar]
* Changed soup_uri_decode() and soup_uri_normalize() to just
ignore malformed %-encoding rather than returning NULL,
for consistency with soup_uri_new(). [#630540]
* Fixed soup_form_decode() to ignore invalid parameters,
and soup_form_encode_hash() to just g_return_if_fail()
rather than crashing if there are NULL values in the
hash. [#620220]
* Added another workaround for stupid servers that close the
connection before returning the full response (in this case,
when using chunked encoding and failing to include the
final 0-length chunk). [#629160]
* Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJarText that deleted excess cookies
whenever any cookie expired. [#631641, Michał Kazior]
* Fixed a small leak in SoupContentDecoder if you were using
it incorrectly. [pointed out in email by Christophe
Gillette]
* Added regression tests for passwords-in-URIs [#631679,
Sergio Villar] and SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.
Changes in libsoup from 2.31.92 to 2.32.0:
* (No changes, just a version bump)
Changes in libsoup from 2.31.90 to 2.31.92:
* Updated for gobject-introspection 0.9.5. Also added some new
annotations and removed a bunch of private headers from the
scanning process.
* Percent-encoded characters in URIs are no longer
automatically normalized to uppercase, since apparently some
servers are stupid. [#628728, Sergio Villar Senin]
* Fixed a crash when resolving a URI containing both spaces
and non-UTF8 8bit characters. [#629449]
Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.90:
* libsoup now tries to connect to each IP address associated
with a hostname, if the first one fails. In particular, if a
host has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and only one of them
is reachable from the current host, libsoup will now try the
other one rather than failing. (libc is supposed to sort the
IP addresses in the right order, such that, eg, if you don't
have IPv6 connectivity, it will put the IPv4 address first.
For some reason though, this seems to be broken on some
distros.) [#526321].
* Fixed Accept-Language header generation in locales where ","
is used as the decimal point.
Changes in libsoup from 2.31.2 to 2.31.6:
* Disabled TLS 1.2 in addition to the already-disabled 1.1 and
1.0 [see below, in libsoup 2.27.2], thus making libsoup
usable with gnutls 2.10. [#622857. This commit, 01a43ad9,
can be applied to libsoup 2.30.x as well if you need that
release to work with gnutls 2.10.]
* When using libproxy 0.3 or newer, libsoup no longer leaks
proxy-related environment variables into child processes
[#603285]
* Changed the way message/connection binding works in
SoupSession so that (among other things), when there are
multiple requests queued to a host, and one of them gets a
network error, the other requests are still allowed to try
to succeed, rather than all failing immediately. [#619633]
* SoupSession now limits the number of times a message can be
redirected, to avoid infinite loops [#604383, José Millán
Soto]
* Fixed handling of certain messages where the response
headers included "Connection: close" but the server did not
actually close the connection at the end. [#611481]
* Fixed some incorrect g-i annotations [#621021]
* Fixed an out-of-bounds memory access when processing certain
Set-Cookie headers [#620288]
* Improved msg->reason_phrase on network errors [#623274]
* Fixed gir file disting [#621727, Yaakov Selkowitz]
Changes in libsoup from 2.30.1 to 2.31.2:
* gobject-introspection has now been merged in. Use
--enable-introspection to build. [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
Note that the introspected API is not yet stable, and in
particular, there are numerous values annotated as "utf8"
which are actually not guaranteed to be utf8. (Eg, most
header data.)
* Added some helper functions for bindings:
soup_buffer_new_take(),
soup_message_body_append_take(), and
soup_buffer_get_data(). [#576595, Andreas Rottmann]
* Also added properties for several SoupMessage public
fields, and getter methods for various boxed types
(SoupCookie, SoupDate, SoupURI).
* Added some additional hash-table annotations.
[#619086, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
* Marked SoupSession abstract. [#617216, Lorenzo Gil, the
first bug filed by someone trying to use libsoup via
introspection!] Likewise for SoupAuth and SoupAuthDomain.
* Fixed a problem with SoupSessionAsync that would cause
messages to get lost if you aborted a previous message while
it was still looking up the hostname. Fixed several other
problems that were discovered while adding a regression test
for that. [#618641, thanks to Claudio Saavedra for a good
test case]
* Fixed another connecting-to-lame-http-server problem, and a
getting-stuck-in-a-loop-reconnecting bug that it revealed.
[#615535]
Changes in libsoup from 2.30.0 to 2.30.1:
* Fix for https through proxies that close the connection when
returning a "407 Proxy Authentication Required" response,
and add a regression test for that case. [#611663]
* Fixed multiple forms/multipart-related interoperability
problems reported by Egon Andersen:
* Don't quote the multipart boundary string if it's
not needed, since RFC 2616 recommends that you
don't, and some servers don't handle quotes there
correctly. (Sigh.) [#614176]
* Don't put an extra blank line before the first
multipart part, since it's unnecessary and some
servers don't handle a multipart preamble correctly.
(Sigh.) [#614183]
* Don't put Content-Transfer-Encoding headers in the
multipart/form-data parts, even though the HTML 4
spec says you must, since no other browsers do, and
some servers don't handle them correctly. (Sigh.)
[#614198]
* Changed SoupCookieJarSqlite to actually erase deleted
cookies from the database. [#615711, Lukasz Slachciak]
* Fixed SoupLogger to be more robust against getting passed
bad data by the session. [#611663]
* Fixed SoupAuthDomain to ignore paths when doing proxy auth
* Fixed a g_warning when hovering over a javascript link in
WebKit. [#613442, Xan Lopez]
Changes in libsoup from 2.29.91 to 2.30.0:
* Fixed a crash in the whitespace-stripping code in
soup_uri_new() [#612644, "arnaud.lb"]
* Update content-sniffing algorithm to match Chrome and the
soon-to-be-updated sniffing spec. [#611502, Gustavo Noronha
Silva]
* We now handle "Content-Encoding: x-gzip" as well as "gzip"
(even though "x-gzip" has been deprecated for more than 10
years). [#611476]
* Fixed leaks found by valgrind
* Make the "make check" programs only bind to 127.0.0.1, not
any public network interfaces. [#609489, Saleem Absulrasool]
* Add a test to sniffing-test to make sure that Content-Type
parameters are preserved correctly. [Gustavo Noronha Silva]
Changes in libsoup from 2.29.90 to 2.29.91:
* Added SOUP_SESSION_SSL_STRICT and
SOUP_MESSAGE_CERTIFICATE_TRUSTED, to allow callers to
determine if an https response comes from a server with a
recognized/valid or unrecognized/invalid certificate.
[#610374, Gustavo Noronha Silva]
* Fixed handling of certain badly-formatted URIs [#590524]
Changes in libsoup from 2.29.6 to 2.29.90:
* Added soup_cookie_jar_set_accept_policy() and related API
for implementing cookie acceptance policies. [#608353, Xan
Lopez]
* Fixed the "request-read" signal in SoupServer to actually be
emitted.
Changes in libsoup from 2.29.5 to 2.29.6:
* Fixed SoupContentDecoder to ignore trailing junk after the
encoded message body (as other browsers do), rather than
getting stuck in an infinite loop. [#606352]
* Fixed an invalid read in soup_cookie_applies_to_uri()
[#607024, pointed out by Xan]
* Fixed linking on OS X [#606959]
* Removed a harmless warning in SoupServer. [#606645]
Changes in libsoup from 2.29.3 to 2.29.5:
* Added SoupContentDecoder, providing support for
Content-Encoding: gzip for WebKitGTK. [#522772]
* Added "accept-language" and "accept-language-auto"
properties to SoupSession, to support the Accept-Language
header. [#597004, Mario Sanchez Prada]
* Fixed a bug in SoupPasswordManagerGNOME that could cause
crashes if you typed the wrong password once and then tried
again. [#595554, debugged by Gustavo Noronha Silva]
* Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDigest if the server claims support
for both qop=auth and qop=auth-int. (This was not noticed
sooner because no one actually supports qop=auth-int, and
the server in question here was probably confused. :)
* Updated cookie parsing/output to more closely match
draft-ietf-httpstate-cookie-00. [Also fixes #603496 (WebKit
unit test), and #604794 (hang parsing malformed Set-Cookie
header)]
* Fixed https-via-proxy to not hang if there is an error
communicating with the proxy immediately after the TLS
negotiation. [#587528]
* Fixed a bug that broke gobject-introspection's introspection
of libsoup. [#603696, Vincent Untz]
* Handle spurious CR/LFs between responses. [#602863,
Alexander V. Butenko]
* Fixed soup-message-client-io to not erroneously include URI
fragments on the Request-Line when sending via a proxy.
[Related to WebKit bug #28687]
* Fixed Digest authentication against certain (buggy?)
clients/servers that require you to use quotes in exactly the
same places where the spec uses them. [#582219]
* Fix ugly gtype-related hack to work with the latest unstable
glib. [Benjamin Otte]
Changes in libsoup from 2.28.1 to 2.29.3:
* Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite when using cookie
databases not created by libsoup (eg, upgraded epiphany
installations). [Patch from Emilio Pozuelo Monfort]
* Fixed SoupCookieJar to handle non-http URIs properly (so
that, eg, JavaScript bookmarklets that try to set/read
cookies won't cause crashes). [#602498]
* HEAD requests that receive a "303 See Other" response will
now do a HEAD, not a GET, on the redirected-to resource.
Fixes gvfs access to some sites, including certain
youtube.com URIs. [#600830]
* Fixed a g_warning that would always trigger in the
server-side SoupCookie code. [#602389]
* Fixed the server-side SoupMultipart code to be able to parse
multiparts containing binary attachments, rather than
rejecting them as malformed. [#601640]
* Fixed the Request-Line format in the https-over-proxy case.
Among other things, this fixes access to bugzilla.gnome.org
from WebKitGTK-based browsers. [#598277, #600826]
* Fixed a leak in SoupSession if a message was cancelled while
the initial socket connection was in progress. [#596074,
debugged by Arnout Vandecappelle]
* Fixed server-side parsing of Digest auth. [#602898, Chris
Head]
* Fixed WinSock initialization on Windows. [#600689, Tor
Lillqvist]
* Fixed a sporadic crash in the SSL code on Windows. [#600748,
Tor Lillqvist]
* Fixed handling of https connections with timeouts on
Windows. [#600749, Tor Lillqvist]
* Added soup_session_prepare_for_uri(), to allow DNS
prefetching for faster browsing. [#598948, José Millán Soto]
* SoupSession now avoids redundant DNS lookups again when
first connecting to a new site, resulting in (probably
imperceptibly) faster loads.
* Added some debugging APIs to SoupConnection and SoupSession
for use by, eg, epiphany's soup-fly extension. [#589163,
José Millán Soto]
Changes in libsoup from 2.28.0 to 2.28.1:
* libsoup will now attempt to make multiple connections to a
server at once when there are multiple messages queued to
that server. The previous behavior (only allowing a single
pending connection to each server) resulted in slow load
times on pages with lots of subresources (images, css, js,
etc) on servers that disallow persistent connections.
[#594768]
* There should now be fewer (no?) "Connection terminated
unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK.
* Fixed a crash in SoupCookieJarSqlite [#596859, patch from
Alexander Sack].
* Fixed soup_address_get_physical() and address-to-name
resolution of SoupAddress [patch from Enrico Tröger].
* Fixed a bug in SoupContentSniffer that could cause false
negatives [#597545, patch from Alejandro Castro].
* Fixed the configure error if you have gnutls-devel but not
gcrypt-devel installed [#587709].
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.92 to 2.28.0:
* Fixed a handful of leaks found with valgrind, including a
large one in SoupContentSniffer [WebKit bug 28148].
* Changed the behavior of SoupCookieJarSqlite to improve
performance. [#584522, patch from Gustavo Noronha Silva]
* Fixed a crash in SoupSocket that affected gupnp. [#594951,
patch from Olivier Crête]
* Fixed the type of the SOUP_METHOD_* and SOUP_URI_SCHEME_*
macros to be const char * rather than gpointer. [#594508]
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.91 to 2.27.92:
* Removed SoupPasswordManager from the public API until its
problems can be addressed. Although it is still present, you
need to #define a special symbol for it to be visible in the
header files; see #594377 for details.
* Fixed a bug where empty query components were dropped from
URIs. [#594405]
* Fixed "make check" to work (but warn) when building with
--disable-ssl.
* Fixed some small documentation bugs pointed out by Dominik
Bylica and Lucian Langa.
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.90 to 2.27.91:
* Added SoupPasswordManager, an interface for managing
persistent password storage, and SoupPasswordManagerGNOME
(in libsoup-gnome), which implements it using gnome-keyring.
tests/get.c provides a minimal example of how to use it.
* libsoup should now notice when the server closes a
persistent connection, and close its side of the connection
sooner. This should hopefully fix the spurious "Connection
terminated unexpectedly" errors in WebKitGTK. [#578990]
* Fixed some problems with connection management in
SoupSession that could cause a session to eventually "stall"
and be unable to process new requests. [#592084]
* Fixed an infinite loop that caused 100% CPU usage if the
network went down at exactly the right time while there were
unsent messages in the queue. [#592492]
* Fixed a crash in SoupLogger. [#591857]
* Fixed the definition of soup_message_is_keepalive() for
HTTP/1.0 messages, to fix a problem introduced in 2.27.90
where some messages would load completely but never emit
"finished".
* Fixed a crash in SoupServer introduced in 2.27.90 when
processing a request with no "Host" header.
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.5 to 2.27.90:
* libsoup now uses glib's GResolver rather than its own DNS
code. For 2.27.90, the only visible change should be that
internationalized domain names are now supported. [#548287]
* Added soup_message_disable_feature(), which allows you to
disable particular features (eg, cookies, proxy,
content-sniffing, etc) on a per-message basis. [#574773]
* It is now possible to implement "OPTIONS *" in a SoupServer;
you must explicitly register a handler for "*" in order to
do this. [#590751]
* Ignore Content-Length on EOF-terminated responses, to match
other browsers and therefore cope with broken servers that
send the wrong length. [Patch from Benjamin Otte.]
* Fixed the status code when trying to fetch an https URI with
a non-gnutls build of libsoup. [#590464]
* Fixed strict-aliasing warnings introduced in 2.27.4
[#588771]
* Fixed some warnings noted by fortify [#591226] and -Wextra.
* libsoup now uses automake 1.11's silent-rules support by
default (if you are building with automake 1.11). Use
"./configure --disable-silent-rules" or "make V=1" to
disable.
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.4 to 2.27.5:
* Fixed a crash when a web server redirected a request to a
non-http URI (eg, "about:blank"). [#528882]
* Fixed a hang when trying to create an attachment on certain
bugzilla installations from epiphany. [#584645]
* Fixed verification of V1 TLS certificates [#589323, Patrick
Ohly]
* Fixed compile problems on Windows (in the ssl code), and on
Linux (when the most recent version of gtk-doc was
installed).
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.2 to 2.27.4:
* Added SoupContentSniffer and the "content-sniffed" signal on
SoupMessage, to do Content-Type sniffing per the HTML5 /
draft-abarth-mime-sniff algorithm. [#572589, Gustavo Noronha
Silva]
* Updated the earlier SoupSession timeout fixes ([#574414],
[#578928]) so that async connect() also times out [#588177,
Mark Nauwelaerts] and SSL works on Windows again [#587910,
Fridrich Strba].
* Fixed the behavior on a 301 response to a POST to match
real-world usage rather than what the spec says. (We were
doing the right thing on 302 and 303, but had missed 301.)
[#586692]
* Changed configure so that if GNUTLS isn't found then it
errors out, rather than silently building an SSL-less
libsoup. Configure with --disable-ssl if you actually don't
want SSL. [#584955]
Changes in libsoup from 2.27.1 to 2.27.2:
* Replaced SoupProxyResolver with SoupProxyURIResolver, which
is a bit simpler, works with non-HTTP URIs (and so could be
used by gvfsd-ftp) and supports proxy auth correctly.
[#580051]
* Fixed SoupSession to not try to resolve http server
hostnames when it's just going to pass the hostname off to a
proxy server anyway. This fixes things on hosts that use a
proxy for everything and have no working DNS config
[#577532] and also makes WebKitGTK behave more like other
browsers in terms of per-host connection limits (we now
limit connections based on hostname rather than on IP
address).
We also no longer set the AI_CANONNAME flag when calling
getaddrinfo(), which saves us a little bit of unnecessary
network traffic. [Pointed out by Christophe Gillette on the
mailing list.]
* libsoup now always uses SSL 3.0 (not TLS 1.0 or 1.1) for
https URIs, to work around problems with older servers that
don't implement the (apparently quite confusing) TLS/SSL
compatibility rules correctly. Makes a bunch of
previously-inaccessible sites now accessible in WebKitGTK
(notably PayPal) [#581342]. Will eventually be revisited, to
first try TLS 1.1 and fall back if that fails.
* Fixed Digest auth to (recent) Apple CalDAV servers.
[#583091]
* Changed the way the SoupSession "authenticate" signal works
a bit. We now never emit "authenticate" before sending a
request, even if we know for sure that it's going to fail,
because this makes the semantics of the authenticate handler
too complicated (and because we'll only get into this
situation if a previous call to the authenticate handler
failed anyway). Fixes problems in WebKitGTK when you cancel
a password dialog, and then later try to load the page
again. [#583462, mostly figured out by Gustavo Noronha
Silva].
* Fixed a bug in the CRLF-vs-LF patch (#571283) that caused
libsoup to fail to parse the response headers (returning
SOUP_STATUS_MALFORMED) if a CR LF got split across two
read()s. [#582002]
* Allow using PUT in soup_form_request_for_data(), to work
with certain broken web APIs. [#581860, Ross Burton]. Also,
fixed a problem with empty POST bodies that made some parts
of gmail not work in WebKitGTK.
* Applied some minor bugfixes to configure.in and autogen.sh
[#583911, #583942]. Fixed configure.in to not use gcc
warning options that the installed version of gcc doesn't
recognize [#578851].
* Added G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED and G_GNUC_PRINTF to a few
methods that should have had them. [#581754, Ross Burton]
Changes in libsoup from 2.26.1 to 2.27.1:
* SOUP_SESSION_TIMEOUT now works properly with
SoupSessionAsync [#574414] and SSL [#578928]. Added
tests/timeout-test to test this.
* SoupDate fixes:
* soup_date_to_string() now handles SOUP_DATE_RFC2822
[#579055, Enrico Tröger]
* soup_date_new_from_string() now accepts 24:00 as a
time in ISO8601 timestamps
* soup_date_to_string() now coerces the date to UTC
for HTTP and cookie dates, and outputs the UTC
correct offset for the other date types.
* Added regression tests to tests/date
* soup_headers_parse() now completely ignores
syntactically-incorrect headers, rather than passing them to
soup_message_headers_append() and causing a g_warning.
soup_message_headers_append() now also rejects 0-length
header names. Updated tests/header-parsing to check this.
[#579318]
* Fix a crash when cancelling a message from a "restarted"
handler, and updated a regression test to notice the
underlying cause. [#580193]
* Completing the API updates for #576760 from 2.26.1,
soup_message_headers_get() is now marked deprecated in favor
of soup_message_headers_get_one() and _get_list().
Changes in libsoup from 2.26.0 to 2.26.1:
* libsoup uses libproxy for PAC and WPAD proxy resolution
again. However, it arranges to do all communication with
GConf itself, to ensure that libproxy doesn't call it in
non-thread-safe ways. [#571527] Also, fixed a bug in
SoupSessionSync when proxy resolution failed. [#574957,
patch from Milan Crha].
(Also fixed three SoupProxyResolverGNOME bugs since the
2.26.0.9 preview release. [#578746, #578809])
* SoupURI now handles unencoded spaces in URIs. In particular,
redirects via Location headers with spaces in them now work.
[#566530]
* libsoup can now deal with servers (and clients) that
erroneously use LF LF instead of CR LF CR LF to separate
the headers and body. [#571283]
* Added soup_message_headers_get_one() and
soup_message_headers_get_list(), which will eventually
deprecate soup_message_headers_get(). This lets applications
deal correctly with implementations that erroneously send
multiple copies of single-valued headers. [#576760]
* In particular, soup_message_headers_get_content_type() now
ignores duplicate Content-Type headers [#576760] and also
ignores syntactically-incorrect Content-Type headers.
[#577630]
* SoupCookieJar can now store multiple cookies with the same
domain and name, but different paths. [#577360]
* Abnormal SSL connection closes are now treated as ordinary
EOFs, for compatibility with certain sites. [#577386]
* soup_header_g_string_append_param() now allows NULL values.
[#577728]
* soup_message_headers_append() now rejects header names and
values with newlines or certain other illegal data in them,
rather than generating syntactically invalid headers.
* Fixed a small bug in soup_date_new_from_string's ISO 8601
handling [qv #578369 for g_time_val_from_iso8601].
* The regression tests now work correctly on machines where
"localhost" resolves to "::1" instead of "127.0.0.1".
[#576583, patch from Andreas Rottmann]
* Fixed warnings when a message has a network problem when
many other messages are queued. [#578809]
* Miscellaneous documentation fixes/clarifications.
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.91 to 2.26.0:
* Temporarily disable libproxy support to work around a bug in
its gnome plugin that causes gvfsd-http (and probably
eventually other apps) to crash. [#571527]. For now,
SoupProxyResolverGNOME uses only GConf. To be fixed in
2.26.1
* Fixed a bug that showed up in WebKit, where if many messages
were queued all at once to a server that doesn't support
persistent connections, some of the requests will get lost.
#574365, reported by Xan Lopez.
* Fixed SoupServer to support using SOUP_ENCODING_EOF, so you
can stream responses of unknown length to HTTP/1.0 clients.
[#572153]. Added a regression test for this, and for chunked
and Content-Length-based streaming.
* Fixed several bugs that prevented SoupCookieJarSqlite from
working. [#572409, patch from Xan Lopez]
* Added G_{BEGIN,END}_DECLS guards to public headers that were
missing it. (Xan Lopez)
* Misc gtk-doc improvements
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.5 to 2.25.91:
* Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGNOME when the proxy
requires authentication. (This does not make proxy
authentication *work* yet, it just makes it not crash.)
* Updated documentation
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.4 to 2.25.5:
* SoupProxyResolverGConf (which was incomplete) is gone, and
libsoup-gnome now requires libproxy, which is now officially
an external dependency of GNOME.
* Fixed a bug in SoupCookieJar that was making it send
"Cookie: (null)" when it had no cookies for a site, which
confused some web servers (WebKit bug 23240).
* Fixed a bug with using SOUP_MEMORY_TEMPORARY buffers and
soup_message_body_set_accumulate(FALSE). (Part of WebKit bug
18343, noticed by Gustavo Noronha Silva.)
* Fixed the build with non-gcc compilers
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.3 to 2.25.4:
* Added soup_session_get_feature() and
soup_session_get_features(), to query the features currently
available in a session (which is needed by the patch in
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22624)
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.2 to 2.25.3:
* Fixed a crash when using both cookies and a proxy. [#562191,
Mark Lee]
* Fixed soup_form_decode() to correctly handle forms with
URI-encoded parameter names [#563302, Evan Nemerson] and
added a regression test.
* Fixed a crash in SoupProxyResolverGConf. [#563145]
Changes in libsoup from 2.25.1 to 2.25.2:
* Fixed client behavior when presented with multiple auth
types to choose the *strongest* auth type (eg, Digest)
rather than the *weakest* one [#562339, Pontus Oldberg].
Added a regression test for this.
* Moved libsoup-gnome headers to a different directory to make
it easier to split libsoup and libsoup-gnome into separate
packages, and to ensure that things that only want to be
looking at plain libsoup headers (like gir-repository) don't
accidentally see the libsoup-gnome ones.
* Some minor doc fixes
* Fixed libsoup-gnome linking with --as-needed. [#559342]
Changes in libsoup from 2.24.1 to 2.25.1:
libsoup 2.25.1 introduces a new library, libsoup-gnome, which
will be used for features which are important to GNOME apps,
but which require GNOME-specific libraries that non-GNOME apps
may not want to add dependencies on.
In 2.25.1, libsoup-gnome contains:
* SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME, a SoupSessionFeature
type that can be added to a SoupSession to provide
automatic proxy handling via the GConf proxy keys. (See
below) The default implementation uses libproxy, which
also handles WPAD, PAC, etc, but if libproxy is not
available it will use GConf directly, supporting only
the basic HTTP proxy functionality.
* SoupCookieJarSqlite, a SoupSessionFeature that handles
cookies and stores them in a Firefox 3-compatible sqlite
file. (This is not actually a "GNOME-specific" feature,
but I didn't want to make libsoup itself depend on
sqlite, and I didn't want to make the dependency
optional. This might change before 2.26.)
* SOUP_TYPE_GNOME_FEATURES_2_26: a SoupSessionFeature type
that can be added to a SoupSession to add all
GNOME-integration features that are available for 2.26;
as of 2.25.1, this is just the GNOME proxy resolver, but
by 2.26.0 it may also include gnome-keyring support and
possibly other features.
Applications/libraries that are currently doing GConf proxy
lookup by hand can be updated as follows:
* Remove all of the existing code that listens to the
GConf keys and sets SOUP_SESSION_PROXY_URI
* Change the configure check to require
"libsoup-gnome-2.4 >= 2.25.1" instead of "libsoup-2.4"
* #include <libsoup/soup-gnome.h>
* After creating your SoupSession, do:
soup_session_add_feature_by_type (session, SOUP_TYPE_PROXY_RESOLVER_GNOME);
(Or alternatively, use SOUP_SESSION_ADD_FEATURE_BY_TYPE
with soup_session_async_new_with_options() or
soup_session_sync_new_with_options().)
Other new features and bug fixes in 2.25.1 include:
* SoupCookieJarText, like SoupCookieJarSqlite, but using the
old-style cookies.txt format, and in the base libsoup rather
than libsoup-gnome.
* Various bugfixes to SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar to fix the
problems with cookies not working on certain sites.
* The new SoupMultipart type provides support for multipart
MIME bodies, and soup-form now includes several methods for
generating and parsing multipart form data and file uploads.
* SoupMessageHeaders now has methods for easy handling of the
Content-Type, Content-Disposition, Range, and Content-Range
headers. The Content-Disposition handling recognizes
RFC2231-encoded UTF-8 filenames.
* SoupServer now automatically handles partial GET requests;
if your server returns SOUP_STATUS_OK in response to a
partial GET, libsoup will automatically convert it to a
SOUP_STATUS_PARTIAL_CONTENT response with only the requested
portions.
Thanks to Xan Lopez and Diego Escalante Urrelo for their work
on SoupCookie, SoupCookieJar, SoupCookieJarText, and
SoupCookieJarSqlite.
Changes in libsoup from 2.24.0.1 to 2.24.1:
* Fixed a crash when unreffing the session from a
soup_session_queue_message() callback [#533473], and added
regression test. In particular, this fixes a crash in
seahorse when trying to connect to a non-responsive
keyserver.
* Fixed an infinite loop when giving a bad password to a site
that uses non-standard capitalization in the
WWW-Authenticate header (eg, gmail.com) [#536285].
* Fixed a leak in SoupSessionAsync when using a non-default
GMainContext. [addendum to #498509, Arnout Vandecappelle]
Added additional code to the regression tests to make sure
sessions and servers do not get leaked.
* Fixed a leak in the XML-RPC code
* Compile fixes for "gcc -pedantic" [#553976, Sander Dijkhuis]
and -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED / -DG_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
[#557072, Cosimo Cecchi]
* Patched xmlrpc-test to accept the incorrect response to
test_echo() that php-xmlrpc gives when it's built against
libxml2 >= 2.7.1 (qv http://bugs.php.net/45996), so that
I can "make distcheck"...
* Updated generated documentation
Changes in libsoup from 2.23.92 to 2.24.0.1:
* Reverted part of the fix for #528882, which caused the DAAP
plugin in rhythmbox to crash. [#553466]
Changes in libsoup from 2.23.91 to 2.23.92:
* Fixed the handling of a 302 response to a HEAD request,
which should NOT be treated like a 303 response. [#551190,
Jonathan Matthew]
Changes in libsoup from 2.23.6 to 2.23.91:
* Fixed a crash in gvfs [#528882], though there is still an
unknown bug there. As part of this fix, libsoup will now
return an error if you try to do an operation on a non-HTTP
URI. (Previously it was just treating any URI scheme except
"https" as HTTP.)
* Added soup_date_to_timeval() for gvfs. [#549006, patch from
Bastien Nocera]
Changes in libsoup from 2.23.1 to 2.23.6:
* Fixed use of g_idle_add() so that heavy I/O won't end up
blocking libsoup callbacks. [#536676, Benjamin Otte]
* Allow the caller to override the Host header. [#539803, Marc
Maurer]
* Properly handle responses larger than 4G. [#539861, Peter
Christensen]
* Fixed the build when using certain LDFLAGS [#541506, Götz
Waschk]
* Fixed a small bug in Digest auth handling. [#544681, Mads
Chr. Olesen]
* Fixed multiple Windows bugs [Tor Lillqvist]
Changes in libsoup from 2.4.1 to 2.23.1:
* This is the first unstable release leading up to GNOME 2.24.
Bumped the libsoup version number up to 2.23.x to match the
GNOME version; note that the API version is still "2.4",
meaning in particular that you still call it "libsoup-2.4"
when using pkg-config.
* Added SoupSessionFeature, an interface type that will be
used for several new features. Ported SoupLogger and
SoupAuthManager to use it.
* Added SoupCookie and SoupCookieJar. This API is already
being used in Epiphany, via WebKit, but it is not yet
complete.
* Fixed GnuTLS support on Win32. [#528752, Marc Maurer]
Changes in libsoup from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1:
* Fixed SoupMessage to not downgrade to HTTP/1.0 for the
second attempt when it receives an HTTP/1.0 redirect or 401.
[#521848, Tommu Komulainen]
* Fixed Host: header syntax when the host is an IPv6 address
literal.
* Fixed SoupSession to not emit "authenticate" multiple times
for messages that have been requeued. [#522601, Tommi
Komulainen]. Also added two new signals to SoupSession,
request-queued and request-unqueued, to help simplify
certain session-helpers and avoid bugs like this in the
future.
* Fixed soup_server_pause_message() to actually work (rather
than *un*pausing the message).
* Added a property SOUP_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT that can be used
to set a timeout after which idle connections will
automatically be closed. [#518214, Jorn Baayen]
* Implemented RFC 2069-style Digest auth, and fixed SoupAuth
to compare auth scheme names case-insensitively, to fix
authentication against Apple's calendar server. [#498484]
* Fixed a crash in SoupAuthDomainDigest if the client provided
an unrecognized username. [pointed out by Curtis Magyar on
IRC]
* Fixed a few SoupDate bugs. (In particular, it was outputting
the wrong day of the week when stringifying dates.)
* Improved the cleanup of idle connections, to fix slow load
times with the libsoup backend of WebKit.
* Added a new SoupMessage signal "wrote-body-data" that can be
used for progress information when sending a large request
body. Also allow providing the request body in multiple
chunks even when using Content-Length encoding. [#525101,
Christian Kellner]
* libsoup now ignores SIGPIPE globally, instead of
un-thread-safe-ly ignoring it only around network writes. In
particular, this means it is ignored when the SSL code needs
to unexpectedly do a write when we asked it to do a read.
[#524397, Curtis Magyar]
* The discard-body-chunks-once-they're-no-longer-needed
behavior, confusingly called SOUP_MESSAGE_OVERWRITE_CHUNKS,
is now controlled by a SoupMessageBody method
(soup_message_body_set_accumulate()), and can be applied to
either the request body or the response body.
(OVERWRITE_CHUNKS is still available for backward
compatibility.) [#522146, Christian Kellner]
* The DNS cache no longer caches "no such host" results, since
some name servers lie to clients outside their firewall,
which could then cause problems for laptops moved between
networks. [#523269, Jörgen Scheibengruber]
* Added some new regression tests, fixed some small bugs in
the existing ones.
Changes in libsoup from 2.3.4 to 2.4.0:
* Fixed a small memory leak in SoupSession. [#518798, Wouter
Cloetens]
* Minor fixes to redirect behavior; PROPFINDs can now be
automatically redirected (pointed out by Christian Kellner),
and 302 is treated like 307, not 303. Also fixed to make
sure that redirect-test actually gets run by "make check".
* The SoupSocket I/O methods now set nread/nwrote even on
error. [Benjamin Otte]
Changes in libsoup from 2.3.2 to 2.3.4:
* The documentation should be accessible from devhelp again
[#518384, Mart Raudsepp]. (Also fixed another
documentation-generation bug that affected builds from svn,
but not the 2.3.2 tarball for some reason. [#518317,
Benjamin Otte].)
* Fixed dependencies in libsoup-2.4.pc file [#517631,
Sebastian Dröge]
Changes in libsoup from 2.3.0.1 to 2.3.2:
API changes / Behavior changes:
* soup_server_add_auth_domain() now refs the auth domain when
adding it. (soup_server_remove_auth_domain() already
unreffed it.) This means existing applications using
SoupAuthDomain will now have a small memory leak. Those
applications should update their libsoup-2.4 requirement to
">= 2.3.2" at some point before the final GNOME 2.22.0
release, and then fix the code to unref the auth domain
after adding it to the server.
* SoupSession's automatic redirect-handling behavior now obeys
RFC 2616 more closely. In particular, status codes 300 and
304 are no longer mistakenly considered redirects; POSTs
that receive 303 are now redirected into GETs; and POSTs
that receive 301, 302, or 307 are now not redirected.
Applications that were using the SOUP_MESSAGE_NO_REDIRECT
flag to prevent libsoup from redirecting POSTs incorrectly
before should now be able to remove that if they depend on
libsoup-2.4 >= 2.3.2.
API additions:
* Added a SOUP_SESSION_USER_AGENT property to SoupSession, and
SOUP_SERVER_SERVER_HEADER to SoupServer, to support
automatically adding "User-Agent" and "Server" headers to
messages. (The default behavior is to do nothing, as
before.)
* Added several new methods to soup-forms.h. Applications that
are encoding a fixed set of form fields can now just pass
them to soup_form_encode(), rather than needing to construct
a GHashTable or GData list. (Likewise, the new
soup_uri_set_query_from_fields() behaves similarly for
directly updating a URI with form data.) There are also now
soup_form_request_new() and other related methods, to
directly create a GET or POST SoupMessage for submitting a
form query.
The original soup_form_* methods have all been renamed,
although #defines exist for backward compatibility.
* Added soup_message_set_chunk_allocator() and
soup_buffer_new_with_owner(), to give applications more
control over memory usage/copying when doing streaming HTTP.
[Wouter Cloetens, #513810].
* Added several new methods to soup-value-utils.h for working
with multiple array or hash table values at once:
soup_value_hash_new_with_vals(),
soup_value_hash_insert_vals(),
soup_value_hash_lookup_vals(),
soup_value_array_new_with_vals(), and
soup_value_array_append_vals().
This helps to simplify XML-RPC calls that send or receive
structs or arrays.
* Added soup_date_to_time_t().
* Added SoupMessageHeadersIterator, an iterator type for
SoupMessageHeaders that can be used instead of
soup_message_headers_foreach().
Bug fixes:
* Fixed a crash-when-idle in evolution-exchange [#437835] and
rhythmbox [#506552].
* Added the API version to the gtk-doc installation dir, to
prevent parallel-installation problems with libsoup 2.2 and
2.4. [#512810, Daniel Gryniewicz].
* Fixed tests/query-test to compile correctly on Solaris.
[#513602, patch from Jeff Cai]
* Fixed some other minor HTTP conformance issues.
Python bindings:
* Although not present in the release tarball, there are now
experimental python bindings for libsoup in GNOME subversion
(in the python/ subdirectory of libsoup trunk). These are
not yet stable (and are not built by default or installed
even when building from svn), but comments on them are
welcome at libsoup-list@gnome.org
Changes in libsoup from the 2.2 series to 2.3.0.1:
libsoup 2.3.0 is the first beta release of the libsoup 2.4
series. It is an API break from the earlier 2.2 series that
fixes various bugs and API warts and lays the groundwork for
language bindings and various new features in upcoming
releases.
(2.3.0.1 is identical to the 2.3.0 release in terms of code,
but includes this updated NEWS file which was accidentally
left out of the 2.3.0 tarball.)
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/unstable/libsoup-porting-2.2-2.4.html
goes over the API changes in detail. If you have questions not
answered by the porting document, please send mail to
libsoup-list@gnome.org.
Specific user-reported bugs fixed in this release:
* SoupURI now correctly handles URIs with complex encoded
queries [#266516, Jean-Yves Lefort]
* It is now possible for a SoupServer to use Digest auth
without needing to have the cleartext password available.
[#347108, Anas Nashif]
* Digest authentication now properly handles "stale=true" and
"nextnonce=..." [#471380, Jari Urpalainen]
* SoupServer is now subclassible [#491653, Mathias Hasselmann]
* soup_server_run_async and soup_server_quit no longer ref and
unref the server, as that doesn't match ordinary GObject
conventions [#494128, Mathias Hasselmann]
* The test programs no longer use a symbol name that conflicts
with Cygwin [#501631, Cygwin Ports Maintainer]
* libsoup can now handle the not-quite-HTTP responses returned
by Shoutcast servers [#502325, Wouter Cloetens]
* If you use libsoup while disconnected from the network, it
no longer caches the failed DNS results [#508593, Bradley
Worley]
Items from http://live.gnome.org/LibSoup/ToDo fixed:
* "Expect: 100-continue" processing now works correctly on
both client and server.
* SoupSessions are no longer leaked
* The XML-RPC API is improved. The SOAP API is gone...
* Added utility functions for HTML form handling
* Improved message header handling
* SoupServer now automatically adds a "Date" header
==========
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.103 to 2.2.104:
* soup_message_io_pause() and soup_message_io_pause() are now
allowed for client messages (and in particular, they don't
mess up when called from the "got_chunk" callback).
[#452280, Marco Barisione]
* Fixed some bugs in SOUP_SESSION_ASYNC_CONTEXT support that
would cause parts of an operation to run in the default
context rather than the session's context. Also fixed some
leaks and added a regression test. [#498509, Wouter
Cloetens]
* There is a new test/sample program, tests/pull-api.c,
showing how to implement a pull API using SoupSessionAsync.
(This depends on the fixes for #452280 and #498509, so it
won't work with older versions of libsoup.)
* Discovered "valgrind --leak-resolution=med" and fixed some
more memory leaks.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.102 to 2.2.103:
* Fix memory corruption in SoupSessionAsync that caused
rhythmbox to crash. [#484988, patch from Rob Bradford]
* Fix socket refcounting in SoupServer to fix warnings /
possible crash. [#459896, Emanuele Aina]
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.101 to 2.2.102:
* Unbreak the build when building without SSL. Not that you
should be building without SSL anyway, but... (reported by
guenther).
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.100 to 2.2.101:
* Fix build on cygwin [384498]
* Fix SSL rehandshaking on synchronous sockets [415402, Jacob
Berkman] and add a regression test for it.
* Fix two bugs in https tunnels over proxies that require
authentication (noticed by Varadhan), and add a regression
test for them.
* Ensure that if you queue multiple messages at once to an
http server that requires authentication but that you
haven't authenticated to yet, that all of the messages get
properly authenticated [271540, James Willcox]. And add a
regression test for it.
* Fix NTLM authentication, which got broken by the previous
fix. [471389, Varadhan]. Add a basic NTLM regression test
that doesn't really test the crypto/encoding parts, but at
least makes sure that the message flow is correct.
* Allow trailing whitespace after HTTP version in
Response-Line, for compatibility with broken servers
[475169, Stephane Loeuillet]. Add that case to the
header-parsing regression test.
* Fix crash when the session's "authenticate" handler returns
a username and no password when using NTLM. [480987, Wendell
MacKenzie]
* Use "new" glib base64 and iso8601 methods rather than
duplicating them. [337010, patch from Emmanuele Bassi].
* Implement soup_session_queue_message() for SoupSessionSync.
* Add G_BEGIN_DECLS / G_END_DECLS to all headers that were
missing them. [438776, patch from Jonathon Jongsma].
* Fix broken definition of SOUP_IS_MESSAGE_FILTER_CLASS. Noted
by "cascardo" on libsoup-list.
* Remove documentation of non-public MD5 methods [440092,
Jonathon Jongsma]. Removed a mysterious half-sentence in the
SoupMessage docs [458116, Marco Barisione].
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.99 to 2.2.100:
* Fixed soup_headers_parse_status_line() so WebDAV response
parsing will work again. [406997]
* Fixed a bug in the header-parsing regression test that
caused the test to fail sometimes, even though the actual
header-parsing code was fine.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.98 to 2.2.99:
* Fixed header parsing, including a crash in SoupServer with
certain malformed requests [391970].
* Fixed redirection to other hosts with SoupSessionAsync.
[382251]
* Fixed a small memory leak pointed out by Chris Austin.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.97 to 2.2.98:
* The XML-RPC code now correctly interprets <value>foo</value>
as meaning the same thing as
<value><string>foo</string></value>. [364490] Pointed out by
Todd Kulesza.
* Memory leak fixes from Andrew W. Nosenko.
* A few symbols that should have been static before now are.
[376387] Patch from Matthias Clasen.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.96 to 2.2.97:
* Fixed SOAP and XML-RPC code to handle whitespace and
comments in the XML better. (Based on a patch from Andrew W.
Nosenko.)
* Fixed lots of typecasting/constness warnings in the code
(mostly via a patch from Andrew W. Nosenko)
* Fixed build on Cygwin [321827]
* Fixed libsoup-2.2.pc fields [343340] and make it get
uninstalled correctly [356809]. (Mikhail Zabaluev and
Matthew Barnes)
* Fixed some small leaks in SoupServer pointed out by Paolo
Borelli. [351500]
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.95.1 to 2.2.96:
* SoupServer now works even if you don't explicitly set an
encoding for the response. (In particular, the automatic 404
if you request a path with no handlers now works. Problem
pointed out by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn.)
* WWW-Authenticate and Proxy-Authenticate responses with no
realm parameter are now ignored, as per RFC 2617, fixing a
crash pointed out by Nate Nielsen.
* Added soup_xmlrpc_message_from_string(), from Fernando
Herrera [348532].
* simple-httpd and "get" now support HEAD
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.94 to 2.2.95.1:
* Even more fixes to XML-RPC, found by the new XML-RPC
regression test. This includes some API changes that I don't
feel guilty about, because the code totally didn't work at
all before.
* Fixed a bug in soup_mktime_utc()
* (2.2.95 was identical to 2.2.95.1. The only difference is
that the shared library version was belatedly bumped from
8.2.0 to 8.3.0 to reflect the API "additions")
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.93 to 2.2.94:
* Various fixes to the XML-RPC code (which apparently had not
actually ever worked before) from Brent Smith. [343973,
344222, 344458]
* Added client and server API tutorials to the docs
* auth-test now uses a local Apache 2.2 install, if possible,
rather than depending on files that used to be on an old
Ximian web server but haven't been anywhere for a long time.
[311825]
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.92 to 2.2.93:
* Fixed outgoing data corruption caused when SoupServer
started writing out a response a second time after already
having started once. [334469]. Also fixed 342640 and another
bug caused by the workaround for 334469 in 2.2.92. Based on
patches and analysis from William Jon McCann and Armin
Bauer.
* Fixed a deadlock when changing a session's proxy URI.
[309867 / bnc 174255, based on a patch by Veerapuram
Varadhan].
* Fixed https-via-proxies in the synchronous case. [bnc 174255]
* Fixed a crash in evolution-exchange [342545, fix based on an
analysis by Wang Xin].
* Fixed simple-proxy to not crash at startup. Oops. (Alex
Larsson)
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.91 to 2.2.92:
* Fixed server-side digest auth to return a valid "algorithm"
value and client-side to not crash if it sees an invalid one
[328615].
* Fixed the Request-Line parsing code to not hardcode a
maximum URI length (to allow very long DAAP requests from
iTunes in Rhythmbox). [335040]
* Fixed some warnings (signed/unsigned mismatch).
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.7 to 2.2.91:
* (The large version number bump is because there was an
internal 2.2.90 release for SUSE 10.1 alphas, which was
supposed to be intermediate between 2.2.7 and 2.4.0. But
2.4.0 didn't end up happening, and I don't want to regress
the version number at this point.)
* SoupSession, SoupServer, SoupConnection, SoupSocket, and
SoupAddress now have an "async-context" property that allows
you to use the async API in a non-default GMainContext.
[Based on patches from Armin Bauer and Jürg Billeter.]
* SoupSession, SoupConnection, and SoupSocket now have a
"timeout" property to stop synchronous sockets from hanging
forever if the remote end is unresponsive (from Varadhan).
* Fixed some bugs in soup_date_iso8601_parse(). [324671, from
Emmanuele Bassi]
* More Windows build fixes from Tor.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6.1 to 2.2.7:
* Fixed a crash when using NTLM connections [316313, probably
also 318252]. (Also 321208, which was a bug introduced in
the original fix for 316313.)
* Fixed a bug that could cause soup to suck up all available
CPU when a connection to a SoupServer was dropped by the
other side [319305, patch from Jonathan Matthew]
* Fixed the creation of struct elements in XMLRPC messages
[321362, patch from Sebastian Bauer]
* Plugged a small memory leak in SoupSocket (from Wang Xin).
* Fixed two compile problems, a gccism [320349, patch from
Roland Illig], and a strict-aliasing warning from gcc 4.1.
Changes in libsoup from 2.2.6 to 2.2.6.1:
* Fixed a crash when using SoupSoapMessage
Changes from 2.2.5 to 2.2.6:
* Fixed a crash when canceling a message (from Tambet Ingo)
* Fixed a bug where a connection could be leaked forever in
some circumstances if a request got a 30x, 401, or 407
response, eventually causing a hang when the session hit its
maximum connection limit. (Dan/Tambet)
* Fixed a memory leak. (Tambet)
* Fixed a bug that would sometimes show up when connecting to
a server on localhost [#312540]
* Added some API to SoupServer and SoupSocket to help fix a
long-standing rcd bug.
Changes from 2.2.4 to 2.2.5:
* Win32 support (from Tor Lillqvist)
* Up-to-date API documentation pretty much everywhere
* Basic XMLRPC support (from Mariano Suarez-Alvarez, Fernando
Herrera, and Jeff Bailey)
* New HTTP timestamp-manipulation methods soup_date_parse,
soup_date_generate, and soup_date_iso8601_parse.
* SoupSession now handles relative URLs in the Location header
(in violation of RFC 2616, but in line with how some servers
behave.) [270688]
Changes from 2.2.3 to 2.2.4:
* Fixed a problem with NTLM authentication against
multi-domain servers. [306877]
* Fixed DNS lookups on Solaris. [254551, 268389]
Changes from 2.2.2 to 2.2.3:
* Now compiles against gnutls 1.2.0 [257811]
* Fixed a bug that could result in 100% CPU usage if an SSL
server closed the connection uncleanly. [273352]
Changes from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2:
* The SSL validation fix from 2.2.1 [264414] is now completely
fixed. (Part of the fix didn't actually make it into 2.2.1)
* HTTPS certificate validation now works when using an HTTP
proxy. [268583]
* HTTP proxy code deals better with proxies that try to make
the user do HTML-form-based authentication. [268531]
* 64-bit fixes for NTLM auth code. [270323, from Michael
Zucchi]
Changes from 2.2.0 to 2.2.1:
* Updated for a libgcrypt API change between 1.1.9x and 1.2.x
that caused a crash at runtime if you compiled against
1.2.x. [266342]
* SSL certificate validation failure should now always result
in a status of SOUP_STATUS_SSL_FAILED, rather than getting
turned into SOUP_STATUS_IO_ERROR. [264414]
Changes in libsoup from the 2.0 series (1.99.x versions) to 2.2:
* Most of the libsoup datatypes are now GObjects. (SoupUri
is currently an exception to this.)
* SoupMessage now emits signals at various stages of
processing. (Eg, "wrote_body", "got_headers".) (You
can also still use soup_message_add_*handler().)
* SoupContexts are gone; soup_message_new() now takes a URI
string.
* All formerly global state is now maintained by the
SoupSession object. (This includes the connection pool,
proxy server, cached authentication information, SSL
certificates, etc.)
* You can create a SoupSessionAsync (for 2.0-like
behavior) or SoupSessionSync (for blocking,
synchronous usage).
* You can add SoupMessageFilter objects to a session
to have certain processing automatically performed
on every message sent via that session. (Eg, setting
up handlers.)
* NTLM authentication is no longer supported by
default. You must enable it by setting the
SOUP_SESSION_USE_NTLM flag on the session.
* The preferred method of handling authentication is
now via the "authenticate" and "reauthenticate"
signals on SoupSession. (The old style, of encoding
the user and password information into the url is
also still supported.)
* The SOUP_ERROR_* values are now SOUP_STATUS_* (so that we
don't have "SOUP_ERROR_OK" and the like).
* SOUP_MESSAGE_IS_ERROR() is gone, since some cases
want to include 3xx responses and some don't.
* SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE and
SOUP_ERROR_CANT_AUTHENTICATE_PROXY are now gone,
since they didn't carry any information that
SOUP_STATUS_UNAUTHORIZED and
SOUP_STATUS_PROXY_UNAUTHORIZED don't.
* DNS errors now show up as the new status code
SOUP_STATUS_CANT_RESOLVE rather than being mixed in
with SOUP_ERROR_CANT_CONNECT.
* Minimal SOAP support has been added back, via
SoupSoapMessage/SoupSoapResponse
* The HTTP I/O state machine was completely rewritten, fixing
numerous crashes, leaks, and protocol errors.
* SoupUri now conforms to RFC 2396. Mostly.
* Various test programs have been added under tests/
* Removed:
* Support for OpenSSL (which was horribly buggy) and
Mozilla NSS (which was never finished). We only
support GNUTLS for SSL now.
* SOCKS support
* CGI support in SoupServer
