Topic

Updated curl packages that resolve an issue are now available.

Description

cURL is a tool for getting files from FTP, HTTP, Gopher, Telnet, and Dict
servers, using any of the supported protocols. cURL is designed to work
without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. cURL offers many
useful capabilities, like proxy support, user authentication, FTP upload,
HTTP post, and file transfer resume.

These updated curl packages fix the following bug:

  • when using curl to upload a file, if the connection was broken or reset

by the server during the transfer, then curl immediately started using 100%
CPU and failed to acknowledge that the transfer had failed. With this
update, curl displays an appropriate error message and exits when an upload
fails mid-transfer due to a broken or reset connection. (BZ#538846)

All users of curl are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
