Sometimes it may be considered a security risk to load an external
OpenSSL configuration automatically inside curl_global_init(). The
configuration option --disable-ssl-auto-load-config disables this
automatism. The Windows build scripts winbuild/Makefile.vs provide a
corresponding option ENABLE_SSL_AUTO_LOAD_CONFIG accepting a boolean
value.
Setting neither of these options corresponds to the previous behavior
loading the external OpenSSL configuration automatically.

* enable it in `src/Makefile.m32`
* enable it in `winbuild/MakefileBuild.vc` if a custom manifest is
_not_ enabled via the existing `EMBED_MANIFEST` option
* enable it for all Windows CMake builds (also disable the built-in
minimal manifest, added by CMake by default.)
For other build systems, add the `-DCURL_EMBED_MANIFEST` option to
the list of RC (Resource Compiler) flags to enable the manifest
included in `src/curl.rc`. This may require to disable whatever
automatic or other means in which way another manifest is added to
`curl.exe`.
Notice that Borland C doesn't support this method due to a
long-pending resource compiler bug. Watcom C may also not handle
it correctly when the `-zm` `wrc` option is used (this option may
be unnecessary though) and regardless of options in certain earlier
revisions of the 2.0 beta version.

This removes the slightly annoying "Could not file LIBCURL_OBJS.inc" and
"Could not find CURL_OBJS.inc.inc" message when building into a clean
folder.

- Move verify_certificate functionality in schannel.c into a new
file called schannel_verify.c. Additionally, some structure defintions
from schannel.c have been moved to schannel.h to allow them to be
used in schannel_verify.c.
- Make verify_certificate functionality for Schannel available on
all versions of Windows instead of just Windows CE. verify_certificate
will be invoked on Windows CE or when the user specifies
CURLOPT_CAINFO and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.
- In verify_certificate, create a custom certificate chain engine that
exclusively trusts the certificate store backed by the CURLOPT_CAINFO
file.
- doc updates of --cacert/CAINFO support for schannel
- Use CERT_NAME_SEARCH_ALL_NAMES_FLAG when invoking CertGetNameString
when available. This implements a TODO in schannel.c to improve
handling of multiple SANs in a certificate. In particular, all SANs
will now be searched instead of just the first name.
- Update tool_operate.c to not search for the curl-ca-bundle.crt file
when using Schannel to maintain backward compatibility. Previously,
any curl-ca-bundle.crt file found in that search would have been
ignored by Schannel. But, with CAINFO support, the file found by
that search would have been used as the certificate store and
could cause issues for any users that have curl-ca-bundle.crt in
the search path.
- Update url.c to not set the build time CURL_CA_BUNDLE if the selected
SSL backend is Schannel. We allow setting CA location for schannel
only when explicitly specified by the user via CURLOPT_CAINFO /
--cacert.
- Add new test cases 3000 and 3001. These test cases check that the first
and last SAN, respectively, matches the connection hostname. New test
certificates have been added for these cases. For 3000, the certificate
prefix is Server-localhost-firstSAN and for 3001, the certificate
prefix is Server-localhost-secondSAN.
- Remove TODO 15.2 (Add support for custom server certificate
validation), this commit addresses it.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1325
- Support custom devel paths for c-ares, mbedTLS, nghttp2, libSSH2,
OpenSSL and zlib. Respectively: CARES_PATH, MBEDTLS_PATH,
NGHTTP2_PATH, SSH2_PATH, SSL_PATH and ZLIB_PATH.
- Use lib.exe for making the static library instead of link.exe /lib.
The latter is undocumented and could cause problems as noted in the
comments.
- Remove a dangling URL that no longer worked. (I was not able to find
the IDN download at MSDN/microsoft.com, so it seems to be removed.)
- Remove custom override for release-ssh2-ssl-dll-zlib configuration.
Nobody knows why it was there and as far as we can see is unnecessary.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2474
Due to the check in Makefile.vc and MakefileBuild.vc, no make call can
be invoked unless a build-type was specified. However, a clean target
only existed when a build type was specified. As a result, the clean
target was unreachable. Made clean target unconditional.
Closes#2455
Check for existence of import and static libraries with documented names
and use them if they do. Fallback to previous names.
According to
https://github.com/madler/zlib/blob/master/win32/README-WIN32.txt on
Windows, the names of the import library is "zdll.lib" and static
library is "zlib.lib".

- Fix winbuild and the VS project generator to treat curl_ctype.{c,h} as
curlx files since they are required by both src and lib.
Follow-up to 4272a0b which added curl_ctype.
This is consistent with 7bc64561a2, which
changed the warning level from 3 to 4 for the Visual Studio project
files. But disable the level 4 warning C4127 "conditional expression is
constant", as that one is issued by older versions of the Windows SDK
as well as curl itself under some circumstances.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1667
Compile with `WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN` which prevents `windows.h` from
including too much clutter including `wincrypt.h` which in turn contains
some preprocessor macros that clash with boringssl symbols.
Detect boringssl by checking the existance of `is_boringssl.h` and set
the corresponding `HAVE_BORINGSSL` for compilation which is used in
`ldap.c` to undefine the evil macros.
Closes#1610
This makes it possible to use specific compilers or a cache.
Sample use for clcache:
set CC=clcache.bat
nmake /f Makefile.vc DEBUG=no MODE=static VC=14 GEN_PDB=no
In the old line number 290, CC and CURL_CC had the same value. After
that, /DCURL_STATICLIB was added to CC but not CURL_CC (intended?).
This gets rid of the CC variable entirely. It is a first step to make it
possible to manualyl set a CC variable in order to be able to change the
compiler.
Updated the makefiles and Visual Studio project files to support moving
the authentication code to the new lib/vauth directory that was started
in commit 0d04e859e1.
Advise that WinSSL in versions <= XP will not be able to connect to
servers that no longer support the legacy handshakes and algorithms used
by those versions, and to use an alternate backend like OpenSSL instead.
Bug: https://github.com/bagder/curl/issues/253
Reported-by: zenden2k <zenden2k@gmail.com>
SSLeay was the name of the library that was subsequently turned into
OpenSSL many moons ago (1999). curl does not work with the old SSLeay
library since years. This is now reflected by only using USE_OPENSSL in
code that depends on OpenSSL.
