only using RFC2068-style in 0.16.1).
* Fix NULL pointer dereference on certain ill-formed PROPFIND responses.
* Allow ne_sock_init to re-initialize after ne_sock_finish has been called
(Sergey N Ushakov).
Changes in release 0.23.5:

required. --with-force-ssl, --with-force-zlib option removed.
* Add --with-egd[=PATH] option, conditionally enable EGD support; either
using EGD socket at PATH, or fall back on system defaults. $EGDSOCKET

through a proxy server
- fix ne_forget_auth segfault if either proxy or server auth are not used
* Improvements to persistent connection retry logic and error handling
in request code; fixing some cases where some errors where incorrectly
treated as a persistent connection timeout
- a TCP RST at the appropriate time is now treated as a persistent
connection timeout.
- handle persistent connection timeouts on SSL connections
* Changes to SSL support:
- improved error handling
- OpenSSL 0.9.6f or later is required for security fixes and functional
correctness; 0.9.6 or later required for functional correctness

Changes in release 0.21.3:
* Fix segfault if using proxy server with SSL session and server
certificate verification fails.
* Fix leak of proxy hostname once per session (if a proxy is used).
* Add --with-libs configure argument; e.g. --with-libs=/usr/local picks

* Fix ne_proppatch() to submit lock tokens for available locks.
* More optimisation of ne_sock_readline.
Changes in release 0.21.1:
* Don't include default SSL port in Host request header, which can

<dobey@ximian.com>).
* Don't give a "truncated response" error from ne_decompress_destroy if
the acceptance function returns non-zero.
* Fix for Win32 build (Sander Striker <striker@apache.org>).
* Fix for cookie name/value being free()d (thanks to Dan Mullen).

argument. To use SOCKS or SSL libraries/headers in non-system locations,
use ./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/... LDFLAGS=-L/...
* Reference documentation included for most of ne_alloc.h and ne_string.h,
and parts of ne_session.h and ne_request.h.
- see installed man pages, HTML documentation.
Changes in release 0.20.0:
* Major changes to DAV lock handling interface (ne_locks.h):
- struct ne_lock uses a full URI structure to identify locked resource
- ne_lock() requires that owner/token fields are malloc-allocated (or NULL)
on entry
- introduce a "lock store" type, ne_lock_store, to replace the lock session;
accessor functions all renamed to ne_lockstore_*.
- ne_lock_iterate replaced with a first/next "cursor"-style interface
- If: headers use an absoluteURI (RFC2518 compliance fix).
- fix for handling shared locks on DAV servers which return many active locks
in the LOCK response (thanks to Keith Wannamaker)
* Moved URI/path manipulation functions under ne_* namespace (ne_uri.h):
- path handling functions renamed to ne_path_*
- URI structure handling to ne_uri_*; struct uri becomes ne_uri.
- ne_uri_parse doesn't take a 'defaults' parameter any more
- if URI port is unspecified, ne_uri_parse sets port to 0 not -1.
- added ne_uri_unparse and ne_uri_defaultport functions.
* New 'ne_fill_server_uri' function to initialize a URI structure with
the server details for a given session (useful with locks interface).
* ne_decompress_{reader,destroy} are defined as passthrough-functions
if zlib support is not enabled.
* API change: ne_ssl_provide_fn returns void not int.
* Added NE_SSL_FAILMASK for verify failure sanity check.
* Removed return codes NE_SERVERAUTH and and NE_AUTHPROXY; correct
documentation, NE_PROXYAUTH is given for proxy auth failure.
* Require zlib >= 1.1.4 to avoid possible vulnerability in earlier versions.
See http://www.gzip.org/zlib/advisory-2002-03-11.txt for more details.
(version check can be skipped by passing --with-force-zlib to configure)
* New 'ne_ssl_readable_dname' function to create a human-readable string
from an X509 distinguished name.
* Fix support for newer versions of libxml2 (thanks to Jon Trowbridge
<trow@gnu.org>).
* Fix corruption of reason_phrase in status object returned by
ne_propset_status.
* More lenient handling of whitespace in response headers.

parameter is specified for a text/* media type (as per RFC2616).
* Miscellaneous cleanups and fixes (Jeff Johnson <jbj@redhat.com>).
Changes in release 0.19.4:

Changes in release 0.19.1:
* Add missing stubs for ne_ssl_* functions for non-SSL build.
* Fix some error messages in new SSL code.
Changes in release 0.19.0:
* Major API change: ne_session_create now takes (scheme, hostname, port)
arguments: a session is clarified to be "a group of requests to a
certain server".
- removal of ne_session_server, ne_set_secure, and ne_set_proxy_decider
- ne_session_proxy returns void.
- DNS lookups are delayed until request dispatch time.
* Significant improvements to TLS/SSL support:
- SSL is enabled if scheme passed to ne_session_create is "https"
- new interfaces to load CA certs and to load SSL library's bundled CA certs
- add server cert verification callback. An SSL connection to a server
with an unknown CA will now fail unless a verification callback is used.
- enable SSL session caching (performance improvement)
- support for wildcard server certs where commonName is "*.example.com".
- thanks to Tommi Komulainen for the contribution of code from mutt's
IMAP/SSL implementation under the LGPL, from which bits of this were derived.
* Improved SSL client certificate support:
- far simpler interface, all done at ne_session.h level.
- supports PKCS#12 and PEM-encoded certificates.
- optional callback for only providing client when demanded by server.
* Support for TLS upgrade is removed, since it isn't useful.
* If NEON_SSL is defined, API extensions are available to:
- allow access to the SSL_CTX * to adjust session SSL options
- retrieve the server certificate (X509 *)
* Decompress fixes:
- fix potential segfault in ne_decompress_destroy
- check the CRC of the deflated output (and fail if it doesn't match)
- fail appropriately on truncated responses, and trailing bytes in response.
* Added ne_set_read_timeout to use configurable timeout on socket reads.
* Malformed response headers will be ignored rather than failing the request.
* ne_set_error takes printf-style vararg.
* Fixes for ne_get_range and improve error handling.
* Functions which append to an ne_buffer do not return a success value,
but they do use ne_realloc/ne_malloc under the hood now, so an OOM callback
will be used (with the usual caveats).
* XML interface does not strip leading whitespace from cdata by default,
the NE_XML_STRIPWS flag is available to restore this feature if required.
* Upgraded to libtool 1.4.2:
- should fix --enable-shared on Mac OS X 10.1
* Test suite now contains over one hundred tests.
Changes in release 0.18.5:
* Removed old neon.dsp, neon.dsw.

Branko <20>ibej <brane@xbc.nu>).
* Define XML_BYTE_ORDER for bundled expat build in support macro
NEON_XML_PARSER().
Changes in release 0.18.2:

- fix configure check for time_t on some platforms (e.g Solaris 2.6).
- remove expect100_works bitfield in ne_session structure (thanks to
Yan Periard <yperiard@ems.net>).
Changes in release 0.18.1:
* Minor fix for authentication: "attempt" counter was not reset correctly
after authentication failed, so subsequent requests would not authenticate
correctly either.
* API change: ne_session_destroy returns void (there was no error case).
* Portability fixes (non-GCC compilers, 64-bit platforms, UnixWare 7)
* Optimisations in string manipulation routines.
* config.hw is included in the release tarball again.
* Improvements in the autoconf support macros:
- check for neon-config in PATH if --with-neon is not given
- stop if --with-neon is used, and the check for external neon fails
- added NEON_WITHOUT_ACL to prevent build of ne_acl.o
Changes in release 0.18.0:
* API change: authentication callback is passed fixed-size username/password
buffers, and an 'attempt' counter. Authentication is retried *forever*
until either it succeeds, or the callback returns non-zero.
* API clarifications:
- ne_propname may have a NULL nspace field, indicating the property has no
namespace. This holds for properties returned by the propfind interfaces.
- added NE_ELM_PROPS_UNUSED as the lowest element number which should
be used with handlers added to the XML parser returned by
ne_propfind_get_parser.
* Fixes and cleanups of lock discovery interface.
* Fix for short write handling in ne_get() (thanks to rado <dzusto@yahoo.com>).
* Fix for XML namespace prefix handling where a prefix could be mapped to an
incorrect URI (e.g. in PROPFINDs against mod_dav with >10 namespaces used)
* Add '--support <feature>' option to neon-config; the script exits with
success if given feature is supported. Known features are ssl, dav, zlib.
* Support for SSL, DAV, zlib is exported by neon.m4 as shell variable
NEON_SUPPORTS_{SSL,DAV,ZLIB}={yes,no} for bundled and external builds.
* `neon-config --cflags` won't include -I/usr/include for SSL build.
* Fix to call progress callbacks while sending request bodies again.
* Test changes:
- portability fixes, auth interface and progress tests.
Changes in release 0.17.2:
* Accept Status-Lines with no reason phrase (Jeremy Elson).
* Fix handling of persistent connection timeout, and better error
handling if sending a request fails.

- add tests for interim 1xx responses, persistent connections, more
unbounded operations.
Changes in release 0.17.0:

* Major API renaming to use ne_/NE_ namespace:
- http_ to ne_, HTTP_ to NE_, dav_ to ne_, DAV_ to NE_, neon_ to ne_
- hip_xml_ to ne_xml_, HIP_ELM_ to NE_ELM_, HIP_XML_ -> NE_XML_
- sbuffer_ to ne_buffer_
- DEBUG() to NE_DEBUG(), DEBUG_ to NE_DBG_
* Type renames:
- http_req to ne_request
- sbuffer to 'ne_buffer *'
* Note, 'ne_buffer' is not an implicit pointer type, you must
specify the '*' now, e.g. 'ne_buffer *buf = ne_buffer_create();'.
* ne_buffer is no longer opaque.
- ne_buffer_data() removed: use buf->data instead.
- ne_buffer_size() is a macro.
* Header renames and additions:
- http_request.h -> ne_request.h
- Session code split into ne_session.h
- hip_xml.h -> ne_xml.h, nsocket.h -> ne_socket.h, http_utils.h -> ne_utils.h
- neon_md5.h -> ne_md5.h, dav_207.h -> ne_207.h
- http_basic.h and dav_basic.h merged into ne_basic.h
* New functions:
- ne_token and ne_shave, to obsolete split_string, shave_string.
* Removed: ne_get_request_headers().
* autoconf changes:
- disable building shared neon library by default.
- option --enable-libxml is replaced by --with-libxml1 and
--with-libxml2 to force use of a particular parser.
* Fix auth code to only take MD5 digests of response body blocks when
necessary (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fix alignment bug in MD5 code which could cause SIGBUS on Sparc
architectures (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Rewrite of request body handling:
- ne_set_request_body_fd replaces _stream, using an int fd rather than
a FILE *.
- added ne_set_request_body_provider to give a callback which is called
to provide request body blocks.
- removal of 'use_body' hook in favour of 'ne_pull_request_body' function
to allow hooks to manually read the request body.
- ne_{put,get,post,put_if_unmodified} all take an integer fd rather than a
FILE * stream.
* Test changes:
- added framework for testing "over the wire" (fork a server process)
- added tests for response message length handling, chunked responses,
header folding, sending request bodies.
- start at listing RFC2616 requirements and whether they are met
or not in test/STATUS.
- test for MD5 alignment bug on Sparc (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
Changes in release 0.14.0:
* Add C++ inclusion safety to http_auth.h (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Define ssize_t on Win32. (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Add C++ inclusion safety to dav_locks.h and ne_alloc.h (thanks to
Gregor Bornemann <Gregor.Bornemann@germany.sun.com>).
* Significant API change to properties code, to allow use of allprop
and complex properties:
- dav_propfind_set_complex and _set_flat are removed.
- add parameter to dav_propfind_named to take the list of property names
to be fetched.
- new function dav_propfind_set_private to set private callback.
- all properties not handled by caller are stored as flat properties.
* Untested: add basic SOCKSv5 support: configure --with-socks.
- please report success/failure to neon@webdav.org
* Win32/MSVC build files from Magnus Sirwi<77> <sirwio@hotmail.com>.
* Fix for expat detection from Shane Mayer <shanemayer42@yahoo.com>.
* Namespace-protect md5 code and more.
- md5_* -> ne_md5_*
- ascii_to_md5 -> ne_ascii_to_md5 (and moved to neon_md5.h)
* Parse authinfo segment in URIs (Johan Lindh <johan@link-Data.com>).
- added 'authinfo' field to struct uri.
* New API: hip_xml_get_attr to retrieve attributes.
* Store language for properties, access with dav_propset_lang.
- only if property is defined on the property element itself.
* Started a simple test suite (test/*).
- includes some simple HTTP server tests.
* Remove "Content-Length: 0" header for request with no body, fixing
interop with Squid 2.3-STABLE1 (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
* http_parse_statusline skips leading whitespace. (Johan Lindh).
* Partial fix for timezone/date parsing problems.
Changes in release 0.13.0:
* Fix ne_strndup allocating one byte less than it should (Kai Sommerfeld)
- if you use uri_parse, this bug may have caused subtle memory corruption
in your application.
* Revert API changes in 0.12: property values are not UTF-8 encoded/decoded
internally. (thanks to Greg Stein)
* Add another optional argument to NEON_BUNDLED macros, actions to
be run if bundled build is *not* selected.
* API change: added argument to http_add_hooks to register cleanup function
for the cookie.
* Removed dav_lock_unregister in favour of automatic cleanup when session
is destroyed.
* Fixed leaks in redirect code (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fixed crashes in hip_xml_destroy (Kai Sommerfeld).
* Redirects to a different hostname/port/scheme are never followed: the request
will fail with HTTP_REDIRECT instead. Redirect notification callback is
only called for *followed* redirects.
New API: http_redirect_location() for retrieving location of last redirect.
* Authentication is now implemented as a hook, independently of http_request.c:
- API change: removed 'hostname' argument from auth callbacks.
- API change: you must now include http_auth.h from your application.
- Also fixes case of using server and proxy authentication simultaneously
* Added 'http_forget_auth' to clear authentication session.
* New API: http_session_hook_private for retrieving private per-session cookie
for hooks.
* API change: http_set_request_body_stream has a return error value.
* API change: http_set_request_body_buffer now takes the buffer length too.
* New API: caller-pulls interface for reading response body:
http_begin_request, http_end_request, http_read_response_block.

callbacks made per-socket.
* Supports new expat (Sam TH <sam@uchicago.edu>)
* Supports libxml2 (in preference to libxml1).
* API change: added namespace protection to base64 and dates functions:
all have ne_ prefix now.
* Fixed ranged GETs where a specific range is requested (Johan Lindh
<johan@linkdata.se>).
* Limit number of response header fields to 100.
* Allow requests for the '*' URI even if a proxy server is in use.
* libxml: Get useful error messages for parse errors.
Changes in release 0.12.0:

- fixes digest auth on big-endian architectures.
* Fix warnings from stray tokens after #endif's in uri.h and string_utils.h.
* Add C++ inclusion safety to http_redirect.h (Kai Sommerfeld
<kai.sommerfeld@germany.sun.com>).

* Fixed memory leaks in session hooks (thanks to Kai Sommerfeld).
* Fix passing NULL props argument to dav_simple_propfind, to support
allprop requests.
**** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ****
- URIs passed to http_request_create() are NOT escaped by neon. You
MUST do this yourself to remain HTTP compliant, using e.g.
uri_abspath_escape. (Kai Sommerfeld)
* Added --disable-webdav flag to configure, to disable DAV support in
the library. This allows building neon without an XML parser.
* Corresponding NEON_WITHOUT_WEBDAV macro for use in bundled builds.
* Fix Makefile dependancies.
* A bundled neon directory builds or doesn't build automatically
(i.e. you recurse into it unconditionally).
* API clarification:
- dav_propset_status may return NULL if the server does not return
a response for the given property (issue is open for debate).
* API change up for debate:
- Property values to dav_proppatch are UTF-8 encoded internally.
- Property values in dav_propfind_* are UTF-8 decoded internally.
* API additions: ne_realloc, ne_utf8_encode.
Changes in release 0.11.0:
* Added SSL client certificate support with 'sock_set_client_cert'.
- Supports certs in PEM-encoded files.
- Specify a callback for prompting the user for the password with
sock_set_key_prompt.
* Added 'ne_oom_callback', to register a callback which is used if
malloc() returns NULL. (Mike Rosellini <m@icopyright.com>)
* Register appropriate callback with libxml to handle <![CDATA blocks
as normal character data (fixes PROPFINDs against sharemation.com).
* Added 'NEON_REQUIRE' macro to declare that you require a neon library
of a given minimum version, e.g. NEON_REQUIRE(0,10) means "I need
neon 0.11 or later". The _BUNDLED macros will fall back on the bundled
copy if an external library is found which is not of a new enough version.
* Added neon_version_minimum() function call for run-time version detection.
* neon_config.h has been removed.
* Use closesocket() to close sockets on Win32 (Markus Fleck <fleck@isoc.de>).
Changes in release 0.10.1:
* Default expect-100 to OFF.
Changes in release 0.10.0:
* hip_xml API changes:
- The search for a handler for a new child element begins at the
handler of the parent element, and carries on up the stack.
(previously, it always started from the base of the stack)
- Documentation written: doc/parsing-xml.txt
* Remove memory leaks and tidy debugging output in new properties code.
* API changes to DAV locking interface:
- New function: dav_lock_copy to copy a lock object.
- Re-ordered arguments to callback of dav_lock_discover, and made the
lock object passed back const.
- Fix leaks and crashes due to vague interface definitions.
* API change to dav_propfind_set_complex: use a callback to return the
'private' structure.
* NEON_NORMAL_BUILD and NEON_LIBTOOL_BUILD macros defined for setting
up neon's Makefile in a bundled build: see macros/neon.m4.
* NEON_VPATH_BUNDLED macro added which takes separate srcdir and
builddir arguments for supporting VPATH builds (thanks to Peter Moulder
<pjm@bofh.asn.au>).
* Added optional final argument to NEON_(VPATH_)BUNDLED, which gives
a set of actions to be run if the bundled build is chosen.
* NEON_SSL checks for OpenSSL in /usr too.
* API change: when using http_session_decide_proxy, it MUST be called
before using http_session_server to prevent the DNS lookup on the origin
server being optimised out. The real scheme in use is passed to the
callback now.
* New function, dav_207_ignore_unknown, to ignore any unknown XML fragments
in the 207 response. Used by properties layer.
Changes in release 0.9.2:
* Fix using both dav_propfind_set_complex and dav_propfind_set_flat with the
same propfind_handler.
Changes in release 0.9.1:
* dav_propfind interface
- Guarantee that the 'private' structure will be initialized to zero on
creation.
- Make it the *callers* responsibility to free() the private structure.
* Fix a few arguments/variables which mirrored globally declared symbols.
Changes in release 0.9.0:
* Removed old dav_propfind_* interface, replaced with a better, more
powerful, and easier to use interface:
- 'dav_simple_propfind' interface for just fetching "flat" (byte-string)
properties.
- 'dav_propfind_*' interface for fetching flat and/or "complex" (structured
XML) properties.
- Lets you retrieve the 'status' information, to see what happened if
fetching the property failed (e.g 404 Not Found).
* Fixes to doc/using-neon.txt (thanks to Greg Stein).
* Allow building when srcdir != builddir (Mo DeJong <mdejong@cygnus.com>)
Changes in release 0.8.1:
* Fix segfault in PROPFIND code.

* Added 'http_redirect.h' to list of installed headers (thanks to everyone ;).
* Changes for building on Windows (Peter Boos <PediB@colorfullife.com>)
* Fixes for building on BeOS (Sam TH <sam@uchicago.edu> and David Reid
<dreid@jetnet.co.uk>).
* Add buffering to socket code for pre-BONE BeOS systems (David Reid).
* Interface changes for hip_xml:
- Renamed hip_xml_add_(mixed_)handler to hip_xml_push_(mixed_)handler
- Documentation updates.
- Added HIP_ELM_UNUSED for lowest element id which should be used.
*** MAJOR INTERFACE CHANGE ***
- Removed 'http_status *' pointer from http_request_dispatch.
- Added http_get_status(req) to retrieve the response-status information
instead. You don't have to declare an http_status object yourself now.
* Similarly, added DAV_ELM_207_UNUSED for lowest element id which should
be used by users of dav_207_* code (incl. use of dav_propfind_*
code).
* New NEON_* autoconf macro interface:
- Use NEON_BUNDLED if sources are bundled, otherwise NEON_LIBRARY.
- The NEON_XML_PARSER macro is NOT called automatically. You must
call this yourself if using NEON_BUNDLED; see doc/using-neon.txt
for details.
* Fix use of 'socket' in nsocket.h function prototypes (Greg Stein).
* Remove extra backslash at line 69 of src/Makefile.incl (Dirk Bergstrom).
* Examples directory is now a separate package.
Changes in release 0.7.7:
* Another fix for linking against a libtool-built expat (Greg Stein).
Changes in release 0.7.6:
* Better check for closed SSL connection after doing SSL_peek. (thanks
to Jeff Costlow <j.costlow@f5.com>).
* Attempt at correct sock_block() implementation for SSL.
* sock_peek() will return SOCK_CLOSED correctly.
Changes in release 0.7.5:
* Fixed workaround for linking against a libtool-built expat (Greg Stein).

* Added '--with-expat' argument to configure (Greg Stein)
* Added 'dav_propfind_destroy' function.
Changes in release 0.7.1:
* Don't register response body/header authentication callbacks if no
credentials-supplying callback has been registered (speed optimisation).
Changes in release 0.7.0:
* Deprecated use of 'NULL' to http_add_response_header_handler.
New interface, http_add_response_header_catcher, to register
a callback which is passed ALL response headers regardless of name.
* Speed optimisation (~10%?): storing response-header handlers in a
hash table for faster look.
* New SBUFFER_CAST() macro for getting to the 'char *' of an sbuffer
as fast as possible.
Changes in release 0.6.1:
* Fix for retrying request if connection is closed by server.
* Make redirect hook work for >1 request per session.
Changes in release 0.6.0:
* New interface to allow following HTTP redirects (301/302 responses).
A callback must be given to get user confirmation if the request method
is not GET, HEAD, or PROPFIND.
* New interface to determine whether the proxy server should be used
for a given request: http_session_decide_proxy.

* Add --with-extra-includes and --with-extra-libs configure parameters
to point configure at
Changes in release 0.5.1:
* Prevent segfault if USE_DAV_LOCKS is defined, and a locking session
is not registered (thanks to David Sloat).
Changes in release 0.5.0:
* Rename xmalloc, xstrdup etc to ne_malloc, ne_strdup etc.
* Some speed optimisation in response-header reading.
* Use 'off_t' rather than 'size_t' in sock_progress callback,
sock_readfile_blocked, and sock_transfer.
Changes in release 0.4.2:
* Fix for sending request bodies after getting 100-continue response.
Changes in release 0.4.1:
* Fix nget build.
Changes in release 0.4.0:
* Install library headers into .../include/neon not .../include/libneon

* Update licensing notice on macros/neon*.m4: note that these files are
NOT under the LGPL, and can be used in other packages regardless of
the license the package uses.
* Update NEON_LIBRARY m4 function to allow optional specification of
names of bundled neon/expat source directories.
* Increase socket read timeout to 60 seconds.

the handler callback is passed the entire header string, of ALL
response headers.
Changes in release 0.3.1:
* Compile fix for dav_locks.c (thanks to Paul D'Anna)
Changes in release 0.3.0:
* Rewrite of socket handling layer. All sock_* functions changed.
* Added basic SSL support: --with-ssl (requires OpenSSL).
NOTE: Certificates are NOT presented for verification.
* 'nget' accepts URL's using the 'https' scheme.
* New example program, 'nserver', to display the Server: string,
e.g. 'nserver https://www.eu.c2.net/'
* Fixed request re-send when persistent connection times out.
* "Hooks" support: allow external hooks into the HTTP request/
response dispatch loop.
* New printf-style interface for adding request headers.
* Make symbols used in header files C++-safe (Tom Bednarz).

for implementors of new methods to indicate which locks are
required for the method.

not much else. Requires GNOME and POSIX threads. Example usage:
'nbrowse dav.ics.uci.edu /msdav/'
Many thanks to Lee Mallabone for Gtk help, and showing how to
use Gtk and threads.
