A bundle is a list of all persistent connections to the same host.
The connection cache consists of a hash of bundles, with the
hostname as the key.
The benefits may not be obvious, but they are two:
1) Faster search for connections to reuse, since the hash
lookup only finds connections to the host in question.
2) It lays out the groundworks for an upcoming patch,
which will introduce multiple HTTP pipelines.
This patch also removes the awkward list of "closure handles",
which were needed to send QUIT commands to the FTP server
when closing a connection.
Now we allocate a separate closure handle and use that
one to close all connections.
This has been tested in a live system for a few weeks, and of
course passes the test suite.
This handling already works with the easy-interface code. When a request
is sent on a re-used connection that gets closed by the server at the
same time as the request is sent, the situation may occur so that we can
send the request and we discover the broken connection as a RECV_ERROR
in the PERFORM state and then the request needs to be retried on a fresh
connection. Test 64 broke with 'multi-always-internally'.
DNS cache entries populated with CURLOPT_RESOLVE were not properly freed
again when done using the multi interface.
Test case 1502 added to verify.

This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark
Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally
call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for
that specified time.

Reported by: Mark Tully
During the periods of rate limitation, the speedcheck function wasn't
called and thus the values weren't updated accordingly and it would then
easily trigger wrongly once data got transferred again.
Also, the progress callback's return code was not acknowledged in this
state so it could make an "abort" return code to get ignored and not
have the documented effect of aborting an ongoing transfer.

By reading the ->head pointer and using that instead of the ->size
number to figure out if there's a list remaining we avoid the (false
positive) clang-analyzer warning that we might dereference of a null
pointer.
In many states the easy_conn pointer is referenced and just assumed to
be working. This is an added extra check since analyzing indicates
there's a risk we can end up in these states with a NULL pointer there.
The refactoring of HTTP CONNECT handling in commit 41b0237834 that
made it protocol independent broke it for the multi interface. This fix
now introduce a better state handling and moved some logic to the
http_proxy.c source file.

Backpedaled out the funny double-change of state in the multi state
machine by adding a new argument to the do_more() function to signal
completion. This way it can remain in the DO_MORE state properly until
done. Long term, the entire DO_MORE logic should be moved into the FTP
code and be hidden from the multi code as the logic is only used for
FTP.
1- Two new error codes are introduced.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED to be set whenever ACCEPTing fails because of
FTP server connected.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT to be set whenever ACCEPTing timeouts.
Neither of these errors are considered fatal and control connection
remains OK because it could just be a firewall blocking server to
connect to the client.
2- One new setopt option was introduced.
CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS
It sets the maximum amount of time FTP client is going to wait for a
server to connect. Internal default accept timeout is 60 seconds.
If the first name server is not available, the multi interface does
not invoke the socket_cb when the DNS request to the first name server
timesout. Ensure that the list of sockets are always updated after
calling Curl_resolver_is_resolved.
This bug can be reproduced if Curl is complied with --enable_ares and
your code uses the multi socket interfaces and the
CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION option. To test try:
iptables -I INPUT \
-s $(sed -n -e '/name/{s/.* //p;q}' /etc/resolv.conf)/32 \
-j REJECT
and then run a program which uses the multi-interface.
This extends the fix from commit d7934b8bd4
When the multi state is changed within the multi_runsingle from DOING to
DO_MORE, we didn't immediately start the FTP state machine again. That
then left the FTP state in FTP_STOP. When curl_multi_fdset() was
subsequently called, the ftp_domore_getsock() function would return the
wrong fd info.
Reported by: Gokhan Sengun
After a PORT has been issued, and the multi handle would switch to the
CURLM_STATE_DO_MORE state (which is unique for FTP), libcurl would
return the wrong fdset to wait for when curl_multi_fdset() is
called. The code would blindly assume that it was waiting for a connect
of the second connection, while that isn't true immediately after the
PORT command.
Also, the function multi.c:domore_getsock() was highly FTP-centric and
therefore ugly to keep in protocol-agnostic code. I solved this problem
by introducing a new function pointer in the Curl_handler struct called
domore_getsock() which is only called during the DOMORE state for
protocols that set that pointer.
The new ftp.c:ftp_domore_getsock() function now returns fdset info about
the control connection's command/response handling while such a state is
in use, and goes over to waiting for a writable second connection first
once the commands are done.
The original problem could be seen by running test 525 and checking the
time stamps in the FTP server log. I can verify that this fix at least
fixes this problem.

Prevent modification of easy handle being added with curl_multi_add_handle()
unless this function actually suceeds.
Run Curl_posttransfer() to allow restoring of SIGPIPE handler when
Curl_connect() fails early in multi_runsingle().
When the progress function returns to cancel the request, we must mark
the connection to get closed and it must do to the DONE state.
do_init() must be called as early as possible so that state variables
for new connections are reset early. We could otherwise see that the old
values were still there when a connection was to be disconnected very
early and it would make it behave wrongly.

Just internal stuff...
Curl_safefree is now a macro defined in memdebug.h instead of a function
prototyped in url.h and implemented in url.c, so inclusion of url.h is no
longer required in order to simply use Curl_safefree.
Provide definition of macro WHILE_FALSE in setup_once.h in order to allow
other macros such as DEBUGF and DEBUGASSERT, and code using it, to compile
without 'conditional expression is constant' warnings.
The WHILE_FALSE stuff fixes 150+ MSVC compiler warnings.
When connecting to a socks or similar proxy we do the proxy handshake at
once when we know the TCP connect is completed and we only consider the
"connection" complete after the proxy handshake. This fixes test 564
which is now no longer considered disabled.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-04/0127.html
asyn-ares.c and asyn-thread.c are two separate backends that implement
the same (internal) async resolver API for libcurl to use. Backend is
specified at build time.
The internal resolver API is defined in asyn.h for asynch resolvers.
Within multi_socket when conn is used as a shorthand, data could be
changed and multi_runsingle could modify the connectdata struct to deal
with. This bug has not been included in a public release.
Using 'conn' like that turned out to be ugly. This change is a partial
revert of commit f1c6cd42f4.

The protocol handler struct got a 'flags' field for special information
and characteristics of the given protocol.
This now enables us to move away central protocol information such as
CLOSEACTION and DUALCHANNEL from single defines in a central place, out
to each protocol's definition. It also made us stop abusing the protocol
field for other info than the protocol, and we could start cleaning up
other protocol-specific things by adding flags bits to set in the
handler struct.
The "protocol" field connectdata struct was removed as well and the code
now refers directly to the conn->handler->protocol field instead. To
make things work properly, the code now always store a conn->given
pointer that points out the original handler struct so that the code can
learn details from the original protocol even if conn->handler is
modified along the way - for example when switching to go over a HTTP
proxy.
Some protocols have to call the underlying functions without regard to
what exact state the socket signals. For example even if the socket says
"readable", the send function might need to be called while uploading,
or vice versa. This is the case for libssh2 based protocols: SCP and
SFTP and we now introduce a define to set those protocols and we make
the multi interface code aware of this concept.
This is another fix to make test 582 run properly.
After a request times out, the connection wasn't properly closed and
prevented to get re-used, so subsequent transfers could still mistakenly
get to use the previously aborted connection.
When failing to connect the protocol during the CURLM_STATE_PROTOCONNECT
state, Curl_done() has to be called with the premature flag set TRUE as
for the pingpong protocols this can be important.
When Curl_done() is called with premature == TRUE, it needs to call
Curl_disconnect() with its 'dead_connection' argument set to TRUE as
well so that any protocol handler's disconnect function won't attempt to
use the (control) connection for anything.
This problem caused the pingpong protocols to fail to disconnect when
STARTTLS failed.
