Rodric provide an awesome recipe that proved libcurl didn't timeout at
the requested time - it instead often timed out at [connect time] +
[timeout time] instead of the documented and intended [timeout time]
only. This bug was due to the code using the wrong base offset when
comparing against "now". I could also take the oppurtinity to simplify
the code by properly using of the generic help function for this:
Curl_timeleft.

The code reading chunked encoding attempts to rewind the code if it had
read more data than the chunky parser consumes. The rewinding can fail
and it will then cause an error. This change now makes the rewinding
only happen if pipelining is in use - as that's the only time it really
needs to be done.

When a new transfer is about to start we now set the proper timeouts to
expire for the multi interface if they are set for the handle. This is a
follow-up bugfix to make sure that easy handles timeout properly when
the times expire and the multi interface is used. This also improves
curl_multi_timeout().
When libcurl internally decided to wait for a 100-continue header, there
was no call to the timeout function so there was no timeout callback
called when the multi_socket API was used and thus applications became
either completely wrong or at least ineffecient depending on how they
handled the situation. We now set a timeout to get triggered.

Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly
moves out the sending and recving of data to the parts of the
code that are properly responsible for the various ways of doing
so.
Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some
minor flaws in the original patch.
Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less
with the "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more
consistently.
Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will
read new HTTP response data from a socket, then check if it's a
timeout if one is set. If the last packet received constitutes
the end of the response body, libcurl still treats it as a
timeout condition and reports a message like:
"Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876
bytes received"
It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T
receive the end of the response body yet.
makes sure that when using sub-second timeouts, there's no final bad 1000ms
wait. Previously, a sub-second timeout would often make the elapsed time end
up the time rounded up to the nearest second (e.g. 1s for 200ms timeout)
sequences in uploaded data. The test server doesn't "decode" escaped dot-lines
but instead test cases must be written to take them into account. Added test
case 803 to verify dot-escaping.
the define CURL_MAX_HTTP_HEADER which is even exposed in the public header
file to allow for users to fairly easy rebuild libcurl with a modified
limit. The rationale for a fixed limit is that libcurl is realloc()ing a
buffer to be able to put a full header into it, so that it can call the
header callback with the entire header, but that also risk getting it into
trouble if a server by mistake or willingly sends a header that is more or
less without an end. The limit is set to 100K.
transfer.c for blocking. It is currently used only by SCP and SFTP protocols.
This enhancement resolves an issue with 100% CPU usage during SFTP upload,
reported by Vourhey.
strdup() that could lead to segfault if it returned NULL. I extended his
suggest patch to now have Curl_retry_request() return a regular return code
and better check that.
Fix SIGSEGV on free'd easy_conn when pipe unexpectedly breaks
Fix data corruption issue with re-connected transfers
Fix use after free if we're completed but easy_conn not NULL
With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)
KEEP_RECV to better match the general terminology: receive and send is what we
do from the (remote) servers. We read and write from and to the local fs.
libcurl did a superfluous 1000ms wait when doing SFTP downloads!
We read data with libssh2 while doing the "DO" operation for SFTP and then
when we were about to start getting data for the actual file part, the
"TRANSFER" part, we waited for socket action (in 1000ms) before doing a
libssh2-read. But in this case libssh2 had already read and buffered the
data so we ended up always just waiting 1000ms before we get working on the
data!
the condition in the previous request was unmet. This is typically a time
condition set with CURLOPT_TIMECONDITION and was previously not possible to
reliably figure out. From bug report #2565128
