... on Snow Leopard and Lion
Snow Leopard introduced the SSLSetSessionOption() function, but it
doesn't disable peer verification as expected on Snow Leopard or
Lion (it works as expected in Mountain Lion). So we now use sysctl()
to detect whether or not the user is using Snow Leopard or Lion,
and if that's the case, then we now use the deprecated
SSLSetEnableCertVerify() function instead to disable peer verification.
axTLS:
This will make the axTLS backend perform the RFC2818 checks, honoring
the VERIFYHOST setting similar to the OpenSSL backend.
Generic for OpenSSL and axTLS:
Move the hostcheck and cert_hostcheck functions from the lib/ssluse.c
files to make them genericly available for both the OpenSSL, axTLS and
other SSL backends. They are now in the new lib/hostcheck.c file.
CyaSSL:
CyaSSL now also has the RFC2818 checks enabled by default. There is a
limitation that the verifyhost can not be enabled exclusively on the
Subject CN field comparison. This SSL backend will thus behave like the
NSS and the GnuTLS (meaning: RFC2818 ok, or bust). In other words:
setting verifyhost to 0 or 1 will disable the Subject Alt Names checks
too.
Schannel:
Updated the schannel information messages: Split the IP address usage
message from the verifyhost setting and changed the message about
disabling SNI (Server Name Indication, used in HTTP virtual hosting)
into a message stating that the Subject Alternative Names checks are
being disabled when verifyhost is set to 0 or 1. As a side effect of
switching off the RFC2818 related servername checks with
SCH_CRED_NO_SERVERNAME_CHECK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923430.aspx) the SNI feature
is being disabled. This effect is not documented in MSDN, but Wireshark
output clearly shows the effect (details on the libcurl maillist).
PolarSSL:
Fix the prototype change in PolarSSL of ssl_set_session() and the move
of the peer_cert from the ssl_context to the ssl_session. Found this
change in the PolarSSL SVN between r1316 and r1317 where the
POLARSSL_VERSION_NUMBER was at 0x01010100. But to accommodate the Ubuntu
PolarSSL version 1.1.4 the check is to discriminate between lower then
PolarSSL version 1.2.0 and 1.2.0 and higher. Note: The PolarSSL SVN
trunk jumped from version 1.1.1 to 1.2.0.
Generic:
All the SSL backends are fixed and checked to work with the
ssl.verifyhost as a boolean, which is an internal API change.
After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source
codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and
will make libcurl return error for it.
1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced
back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly
this way.
1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup
makes the treatment of it unified.
The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and
while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has
decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so
they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this
particular option. I sympathize with that position.

The iOS build was broken by a reference to a function that only existed
under OS X; fixed. Also fixed a hard-to-reproduce problem where, if the
server disconnected before libcurl got the chance to hang up first and
SecureTransport was in use, then we'd raise an error instead of failing
gracefully.
In Mountain Lion, Apple added TLS 1.1 and 1.2, and deprecated a number
of SecureTransport functions, some of which we were using. We now check
to see if the replacement functions are present, and if so, we use them
instead. The old functions are still present for users of older
cats. Also fixed a build warning that started to appear under Mountain
Lion
Previously the curl_multi interface would freeze if darwinssl was
enabled and at least one of the handles tried to connect to a Web site
using HTTPS. Removed the "wouldblock" state darwinssl was using because
I figured out a solution for our "would block but in which direction?"
dilemma.
The code was printing a warning when SNI was set up successfully. Oops.
Printing the cipher number in verbose mode was something only TLS/SSL
programmers might understand, so I had it print the name of the cipher,
just like in the OpenSSL code. That'll be at least a little bit easier
to understand. The SecureTransport API doesn't have a method of getting
a string from a cipher like OpenSSL does, so I had to generate the
strings manually.
Allow NTLM authentication when building using SecureTransport (Darwin) for SSL.
This uses CommonCrypto, a cryptography library that ships with all versions of
iOS and Mac OS X. It's like OpenSSL's libcrypto, except that it's missing a few
less-common cyphers and doesn't have a big number data structure.
- Renamed st_ function prefix to darwinssl_
- Renamed Curl_st_ function prefix to Curl_darwinssl_
- Moved the duplicated ssl_connect_done out of the #ifdef in lib/urldata.h
- Fixed a teensy little bug that made non-blocking connection attempts block
- Made it so that it builds cleanly against the iOS 5.1 SDK
