I have a use-case that requires this update. v7.22 doesn't handle protocol-relative `Location` headers.
When I curl an endpoint (e.g. https://example.org/some-redirect-url) that gives: Location: //example.org/some-url/to/a/page/somewhere.html The current libcurl version on precise -- v7.22 -- barfs on this and redirects the client to an unacceptable: https://example.org//example.org/some-url/to/a/page/somewhere.html v7.30 fixes this and correctly redirects to: https://example.org//example.org/some-url/to/a/page/somewhere.html What is needed to push out this change? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to curl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1219306 Title: Update libcurl package in 12.04LTS to version 7.3x Status in “curl” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The latest versions of curl solves a problem whereas there will be loss of information, and inconsistent interpretation of data, due to headers inserted by intermediate proxy/ies.
