Release Name: 1.0.2

Notes: Allright, this release fixes a potential buffer overflow reported on BugTraq. Also I've really improved portability, this release should build and compile cleanly on more systems than the previous releases. Those using previous versions should upgrade to this one to avoid potential security problems.


Changes: 1.0.0 - July 4, 2001 * Initial release. 1.0.1 - July 30, 2001 * Requests now include a "Host:" field to satisfy servers running virtual domains (who would otherwise return a 404). Thanks for the help, zealot! * Libtool/project versioning also sorted out. 1.0.2 - April 22, 2003 * Fixed a buffer overflow (reported to BugTraq) and a memory leak. * Check for hstrerror and provide workaround if not present. * Portability improvements, build process checks for necessary functions. * Includes specfile for building rpm packages. * Includes http-fetcher.m4 macro file for inclusion with autoconf
