remove server from using a persistent connection, which speeds
up such requests.
* support http 301 and 302 redirects
* rewrite guts of url_get() to use fparseln() et al instead of
read(s,&p,1)... enables each in the header to be parsed
as necessary
* rename login to ftp_login, to remove conflict with util.h::login
* cleanup verbose messages during http proxy requests
which in turn can allow the use of larger TCP windows. This is a work in
progress; there is not yet support for specifying global defaults or
user prefrences on a host/network basis.
- ensure hostname from gethostname() is nul-terminated in all cases
- minor KNF
- use MAXHOSTNAMELEN over various other values/defines
- be safe will buffers that hold hostnames
* default to passive with active fallback. $FTPMODE modifies this behaviour.
-A forces active connection.
* support '-o outfile' for auto-fetched files. outfile can be a file,
`-' (for stdout), or '|command' (to output each file through command).
* support '-r waittime', which retries the connection after waittime seconds
if it fails.
* fix 'page file' when restart is non-zero.
* try all ip-addresses of a host in a http fetch (as the normal ftp fetch
does).
XXX: a ``broken pipe'' error sometimes occurs with -o '|command';
i haven't tracked this down yet.
SIGINFO and at the end of the transfer):
* display time taken as [[x days?] hh:]mm:ss
* display ETA as [hh:]mm:ss
* print ' (stalled)' if the transfer is stalled
doesn't use garbage for the username. from "Soren S. Jorvang" <soren@t.dk>
in [bin/4559]
* use in_port_t for ports, and USHRT_MAX instead of 0xffff
(from millert@openbsd.org)
* use `NULL' instead of `(.... *)0' where appropriate.
where a remote completion or `mget' would confuse the client a `restart'
had been issued beforehand. now, `restart' is remembered until an operation
that can actually use it is invoked.
* in sendrequest(), don't reset restart_point upon entry. fixes `restart'
for `put' operations.
* if `restart' is invoked with no arguments, print current setting instead
of displaying a usage
* consistently use printf("%qd", (long long)restart_point) when displaying
restart_point
* use strto[lq]() instead of atol() when parsing `mark' and `restart' values
* remove unnecessary strlen()s when result of previous snprintf() will do
* replace a few malloc()/strcpy()s with strdup()s
* use SECSPERHOUR instead of '3600'
* Use an int, not "union wait".
* Move the "parsed_url" label so that the next statement is not an "else" --
some ansi C compilers don't like it the old way (SGI's for example).
* Deal with the possibility of getlogin(2) failing.
* Don't error out if the remote server doesn't support the "MDTM" command.
* don't interpret '-' or '|' when a local filename is determined from
the remote name (i.e, in mget, and in get with only one argument).
This is implemented using an extra argument to recvrequest().
Fixes a major security hole.
* clean up memory leak when using globulize()
* clean up a couple of comments
* fix wording in TNF copyright
features added:
* support for TIS fwtk gate-ftp servers:
* read defaults from $FTPSERVER && $FTPSERVERPORT
* start in gate-ftp mode if invoked as 'gate-ftp'
* toggle or set with 'gate [host [port]]'
* cleanup for WARNS=1 (including some ugly '(void)&var' bits wrapped in
#ifdef __GNUC__ to shut up gcc warnings WRT setjmp/longjmp)
* use strtol() instead of atoi(), and more extensively check result of
conversion
* use u_int16_t instead of short or int for TCP port addresses
* differentiate between being connected, and being logged in
* cleanup some text messages
* support username & password ftp URLs (ftp://user:pass@host/) in non-proxy
situations; assume proxy supports it for proxy situations.
* cd to / before performing any autofetch transfers
* use strncasecmp in URL parsing. fix from <Todd.Miller@courtesan.com>
* add "more" & "less" as synonyms for "page"
* move editline setup code into controlediting(), and call appropriately.
only setup setup terminal if going into interactive mode. inspired
by Todd Miller <todd.miller@courtesan.com>
* support remglobbing of auto_fetch arguments
* new flag - '-e'; disable editing
* "page file" == "get file |${PAGER-less}"
Bugfixes/cleanup:
* consistently use a trailing '.' on messages
* code cleanup, including buffer overrun fixes, use puts
and putchar in places, etc (inspired by OpenBSD mods)
* disable progress bar when local-file is a pipe or '-'
* skip \r in http headers
* fix remote ftpd slash bug more elegantly (so it works with ////)
* abort_remote(): check if cout==NULL before using it. should fix [bin/3273]
* fixed up cosmetic problems when complete_remote() generated errors from the
remote server (such as "no files found", "login with user and pass", ...)
done by adding extra argument to remglob(), which is a pointer to an error
buffer to put messages in rather than printing to stdout.
barring any more little things people want added ...]
New features:
* progressmeter is now asynchronous, so "stalled" transfers can be
detected. "- stalled -" is displayed instead of the ETA in this case.
When the xfer resumes, the time that the xfer was stalled for is
factored out of the ETA. It is debatable whether this is better than
not factoring it out, but I like it this way (I.e, if it stalls for 8
seconds and the ETA was 30 seconds, when it resumes the ETA will still
be 30 seconds).
* verbosity can be disabled on the command line (-V), so that in auto-fetch
mode the only lines displayed will be a description of the file, and
the progress bar (if possible)
* if the screen is resized (and detected via the SIGWINCH signal), the
progress bar will rescale automatically.
Bugs fixed:
* progress bar will not use the last character on the line, as this can
cause problems on some terminals
* screen dimensions (via ioctl(TIOCWINSZ)) should use stdout not stdin
* progressmeter() used some vars before initialising them
* ^D will quit now. [fixes bin/3162]
* use hstrerror() to generate error message for host name lookup failure.
* use getcwd instead of getwd (it should have been OK, but why tempt fate?)
* auto-fetch transfers will always return a positive exit value upon failure
or interruption, relative to the file's position in argv[].
* remote completion of / will work, without putting a leading "///".
This is actually a bug in ftpd(1), where "NLST /" prefixes all names
with "//", but fixing every ftpd(1) is not an option...
* Command line editing via editline(3) library.
* Context sensitive command and file completion, including remote files.
Enhancements to auto-fetch feature:
* Support for http:// URLs using the http protocol, including proxy HTTP
support via $htty_proxy if it's defined.
* The connection is kept open between successive files on the same host.
(obviously, this does not count for http requests.)
* Return value of ftp is 0 on no error, or the offset in argv[] of the file
which failed (i.e., argv[x] failed, ftp returns x).
* If the path in an ftp URL or classic format line has a trailing '/',
cd to the path and enter interactive mode. Fixes [bin/3011], albiet
requiring the user to help ftp in determining the operation.
Other changes:
* '-P port' works for normal ftp, and is the default for all classic style
auto-fetch transfers and for ftp URLs that don't specify the port.
(previously it would just work for the first xfer.)
* Some code moved into separated files along logical divisions.
* Editing and completion can be compiled out with -DSMALLFTP.
