Warning: this will make existing curl command lines that use metalink to
stop working.
Reasons for removal:
1. We've found several security problems and issues involving the
metalink support in curl. The issues are not detailed here. When
working on those, it become apparent to the team that several of the
problems are due to the system design, metalink library API and what
the metalink RFC says. They are very hard to fix on the curl side
only.
2. The metalink usage with curl was only very briefly documented and was
not following the "normal" curl usage pattern in several ways, making
it surprising and non-intuitive which could lead to further security
issues.
3. The metalink library was last updated 6 years ago and wasn't so
active the years before that either. An unmaintained library means
there's a security problem waiting to happen. This is probably reason
enough.
4. Metalink requires an XML parsing library, which is complex code (even
the smaller alternatives) and to this day often gets security
updates.
5. Metalink is not a widely used curl feature. In the 2020 curl user
survey, only 1.4% of the responders said that they'd are using it. In
2021 that number was 1.2%. Searching the web also show very few
traces of it being used, even with other tools.
6. The torrent format and associated technology clearly won for
downloading large files from multiple sources in parallel.
Cloes #7176
The 'hyper mode' makes line-ending checks work in the test suite for
when hyper is used. Now it also requires that HTTP or HTTPS are
mentioned as keywords to be enabled so that it doesn't wrongly adjusts
tests for other protocols.
This makes test 271 (TFTP) work again in hyper enabled builds.
Closes#7185
The warning about missing entries in that file then doesn't require that
the Makefile has been regenerated which was confusing.
The scan for the test num is a little more error prone than before
(since now it doesn't actually verify that it is legitimate Makefile
syntax), but I think it is good enough.
Closes#7177

runtests.pl has lots of internal variables one might want to
change in certain situations, but adding a dedicated option
for every single one of them isn't practical.
Usage:
./runtests.pl -o TESTDIR=$privoxy_curl_test_dir -o HOSTIP=10.0.0.1 ...
- show the summarized test result in the last line of the report
- do not use $_ after mapping it to a named variable
Doing that makes the code harder to follow.
- log the restraints sorted by the number of their occurrences
- fix language when logging restraints that only occured once
- let runhttpserver() use $TESTDIR instead of $srcdir
... so it works if a non-default $TESTDIR is being used.
It can contain additional restraints for test numbers,
keywords and tools.
The idea is to let third parties like the Privoxy project
distribute an exclude file with their tarballs that specifies
which curl tests are not expected to work when using Privoxy
as a proxy, without having to fork the whole curl test suite.
The syntax could be changed to be extendable and maybe
more closely reflect the "curl test" syntax. Currently
it's a bunch of lines like these:
test:$TESTNUMBER:Reason why this test with number $TESTNUMBER should be skipped
keyword:$KEYWORD:Reason why tests whose keywords contain the $KEYWORD should be skipped
tool:$TOOL:Reason why tests with tools that contain $TOOL should be skipped
To specify multiple $TESTNUMBERs, $KEYWORDs and $TOOLs
on a single line, split them with commas.
This is useful to change the behaviour of the script without
having to modify the file itself, for example to use a custom
compareparts() function that ignores header differences that
are expected to occur when an external proxy is being used.
Such differences are proxy-specific and thus the modifications
should be maintained together with the proxy.
... that should be used when executing the tests.
The assumption is that the proxy is an HTTP proxy.
This option should be used together with -L to provide
a customized compareparts() version that knows which
proxy-specific header differences should be ignored.
This option doesn't work for all test types yet.
... to make build tools/valgrind warn if no curl_global_cleanup is
called.
This is conditionally only done for debug builds with the env variable
CURL_GLOBAL_INIT set.

We currently use both spellings the british "behaviour" and the american

This allows us to make test cases to use base64 at run-time and still
use and verify information determined at run-time, such as the IMAP test
server's port number in test 842.
This change makes 12 tests run again that basically never ran since we
moved to dynamic port numbers.
ftpserver.pl is adjusted to load test instructions and test number from
the preprocessed test file.
FILEFORMAT.md now documents the new base64 encoding syntax.
