RFC7512 provides a standard method to reference certificates in PKCS#11
tokens, by means of a URI starting 'pkcs11:'.
We're working on fixing various applications so that whenever they would
have been able to use certificates from a file, users can simply insert
a PKCS#11 URI instead and expect it to work. This expectation is now a
part of the Fedora packaging guidelines, for example.
This doesn't work with cURL because of the way that the colon is used
to separate the certificate argument from the passphrase. So instead of
curl -E 'pkcs11:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
I instead need to invoke cURL with the colon escaped, like this:
curl -E 'pkcs11\:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
This is suboptimal because we want *consistency* — the URI should be
usable in place of a filename anywhere, without having strange
differences for different applications.
This patch therefore disables the processing in parse_cert_parameter()
when the string starts with 'pkcs11:'. It means you can't pass a
passphrase with an unescaped PKCS#11 URI, but there's no need to do so
because RFC7512 allows a PIN to be given as a 'pin-value' attribute in
the URI itself.
Also, if users are already using RFC7512 URIs with the colon escaped as
in the above example — even providing a passphrase for cURL to handling
instead of using a pin-value attribute, that will continue to work
because their string will start 'pkcs11\:' and won't match the check.
What *does* break with this patch is the extremely unlikely case that a
user has a file which is in the local directory and literally named
just "pkcs11", and they have a passphrase on it. If that ever happened,
the user would need to refer to it as './pkcs11:<passphrase>' instead.
In commit 2e42b0a252 (Jan 2008) we made the option "--socks" deprecated
and it has not been documented since. The more explicit socks options
(like --socks4 or --socks5) should be used.
As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options
together.
As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of
7.49.0.
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP
- Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup
before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls
init.
- Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP
- Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl
command line tool.
- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/481
It isn't always clear to the user which options that cause the HTTP
methods to conflict so by spelling them out it should hopefully be
easier to understand why curl complains.
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default
protocol for schemeless URLs.
- Add new tool option --proto-default to expose
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.
In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way:
When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default.
When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of
guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke.
New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.
Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic
certificate revocation checking by default. According to the
ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking
(NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at
some later point.

- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_READTEXT instead of "r" or "rt"
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_WRITETEXT instead of "w" or "wt"
This change is to explicitly specify when we need to read/write text.
Unfortunately 't' is not part of POSIX fopen so we can't specify it
directly. Instead we now have FOPEN_READTEXT, FOPEN_WRITETEXT.
Prior to this change we had an issue on Windows if an application that
uses libcurl overrides the default file mode to binary. The default file
mode in Windows is normally text mode (translation mode) and that's what
libcurl expects.

Add new option --data-raw which is almost the same as --data but does
not have a special interpretation of the @ character.
Prior to this change there was no (easy) way to pass the @ character as
the first character in POST data without it being interpreted as a
special character.

As the 'error' and 'mute' options are now part of the GlobalConfig,
rather than per Operation, updated the warnf() function to use this
structure rather than the OperationConfig.
Option --pinnedpubkey takes a path to a public key in DER format and
only connect if it matches (currently only implemented with OpenSSL).
Provides CURLOPT_PINNEDPUBLICKEY for curl_easy_setopt().
Extract a public RSA key from a website like so:
openssl s_client -connect google.com:443 2>&1 < /dev/null | \
sed -n '/-----BEGIN/,/-----END/p' | openssl x509 -noout -pubkey \
| openssl rsa -pubin -outform DER > google.com.der
- Replace CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE with CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE
- CURL_VERSION_GSSNEGOTIATE is deprecated which
is served by CURL_VERSION_SSPI, CURL_VERSION_GSSAPI and
CURUL_VERSION_SPNEGO now.
- Remove display of feature 'GSS-Negotiate'
Added initial support for --next/-: which will be used to replace the
rather confusing : command line operation what was used for the URL
specific options prototype.
