the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.
The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
marked for closure.

- Shmulik Regev added CURLOPT_HTTP_CONTENT_DECODING and
CURLOPT_HTTP_TRANSFER_DECODING that if set to zero will disable libcurl's
internal decoding of content or transfer encoded content. This may be
preferable in cases where you use libcurl for proxy purposes or similar. The
command line tool got a --raw option to disable both at once.
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.

There's a compilation error in http_ntlm.c if USE_NTLM2SESSION is NOT
defined. I noticed this while testing various configurations. Line 867 of
the current http_ntlm.c is a closing bracket for an if/else pair that only
gets compiled in if USE_NTLM2SESSION is defined. But this closing bracket
wasn't in an #ifdef so the code fails to compile unless USE_NTLM2SESSION was
defined. Lines 198 and 140 of my patch wraps that closing bracket in an
#ifdef USE_NTLM2SESSION.

I noticed several picky compiler warnings when DEBUG_ME is defined. I've
fixed them with casting. By the way, DEBUG_ME was a huge help in
understanding this code.

Hopefully the last non-ASCII conversion patch for libcurl in a while. I
changed the "NTLMSSP" literal to hex since this signature must always be in
ASCII.
Conversion code was strategically added where necessary. And the
Curl_base64_encode calls were changed so the binary "blobs" http_ntlm.c
creates are NOT translated on non-ASCII platforms.
doing an FTP transfer is removed from a multi handle before completion. The
fix also fixed the "alive counter" to be correct on "premature removal" for
all protocols.
non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more
#ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can
add it without the extra stuff added.
curl that uses the new CURLOPT_FTP_SSL_CCC option in libcurl. If enabled, it
will make libcurl shutdown SSL/TLS after the authentication is done on a
FTP-SSL operation.
downloaded data in two buffers, just to be able to deal with a special HTTP
pipelining case. That is now only activated for pipelined transfers. In
Matt's case, it showed as a considerable performance difference,
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) (known bug #36) --limit-rate
(CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE) are broken
on Windows (since 7.16.0, but that's when they were introduced as previous
to that the limiting logic was made in the application only and not in the
library). It was actually also broken on select()-based systems (as apposed
to poll()) but we haven't had any such reports. We now use select(), Sleep()
or delay() properly to sleep a while without waiting for anything input or
output when the rate limiting is activated with the easy interface.
get confused and not acknowledge the 'no_proxy' variable properly once it
had used the proxy and you re-used the same easy handle. I made sure the
proxy name is properly stored in the connect struct rather than the
sessionhandle/easy struct.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1618359) and subsequently provided a
patch for it: when downloading 2 zero byte files in a row, curl 7.16.0
enters an infinite loop, while curl 7.16.1-20061218 does one additional
unnecessary request.
Fix: During the "Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and
shared connection cache within the multi handle." change, headerbytecount
was moved to live in the Curl_transfer_keeper structure. But that structure
is reset in the Transfer method, losing the information that we had about
the header size. This patch moves it back to the connectdata struct.
something went wrong like it got a bad response code back from the server,
libcurl would leak memory. Added test case 538 to verify the fix.
I also noted that the connection would get cached in that case, which
doesn't make sense since it cannot be re-use when the authentication has
failed. I fixed that issue too at the same time, and also that the path
would be "remembered" in vain for cases where the connection was about to
get closed.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1603712) which is about connections
getting cut off prematurely when --limit-rate is used. While I found no such
problems in my tests nor in my reading of the code, I found that the
--limit-rate code was severly flawed (since it was moved into the lib, since
7.15.5) when used with the easy interface and it didn't work as documented so
I reworked it somewhat and now it works for my tests.
passing a curl_off_t argument to the Curl_read_rewind() function which takes
an size_t argument. Curl_read_rewind() also had debug code left in it and it
was put in a different source file with no good reason when only used from
one single spot.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1604956) which identified setting
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS to zero caused libcurl to SIGSEGV. Starting now, libcurl
will always internally use no less than 1 entry in the connection cache.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1230118) curl_getdate() did not work
properly for all input dates on Windows. It was mostly seen on some TZ time
zones using DST. Luckily, Martin also provided a fix.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1600447) in which he noted that active
FTP connections don't work with the multi interface. The problem is here that
the multi interface state machine has a state during which it can wait for the
data connection to connect, but the active connection is not done in the same
step in the sequence as the passive one is so it doesn't quite work for
active. The active FTP code still use a blocking function to allow the remote
server to connect.
The fix (work-around is a better word) for this problem is to set the
boolean prematurely that the data connection is completed, so that the "wait
for connect" phase ends at once.
HTTP upload was disconnected:
"What appears to be happening is that my system (Linux 2.6.17 and 2.6.13) is
setting *only* POLLHUP on poll() when the conditions in my previous mail
occur. As you can see, select.c:Curl_select() does not check for POLLHUP. So
basically what was happening, is poll() was returning immediately (with
POLLHUP set), but when Curl_select() looked at the bits, neither POLLERR or
POLLOUT was set. This still caused Curl_readwrite() to be called, which
quickly returned. Then the transfer() loop kept continuing at full speed
forever."
header in a third, not suppported by libcurl, format and we agreed that we
could make the parser more forgiving to accept all the three found
variations.
responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.
To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.
defining HAVE_SIGNAL_H if the header is available.
Added a check in configure that tests if the sig_atomic_t type is
available, defining HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T if it is available. Providing
a suitable default in setup_once.h if not available.
Added a check in configure that tests if the sig_atomic_t type is
already defined as volatile, defining HAVE_SIG_ATOMIC_T_VOLATILE
if it is available and already defined as volatile.
This was possible on debug c-ares enabled builds when both CURL_MEMDEBUG
and CARES_MEMDEBUG environment variables were set. Leading to a file handle
leak even when both variables had the same value, and wierd test suite
results when different.
KNOWN_BUGS #25, which happens when a proxy closes the connection when
libcurl has sent CONNECT, as part of an authentication negotiation. Starting
now, libcurl will re-connect accordingly and continue the authentication as
it should.
Assigning the const value zero to a pointer to function
results in a null pointer value assignment to the function
pointer.
Assignment of any nonzero value is what should result in a
implementation compiler dependent result.
Since what we want to do here is the first case, this should
not trigger compiler warnings related with conversions from
'pointer to data' to 'pointer to function'.
Our autobuild test suite will judge.
case when 401 or 407 are returned, *IF* no auth credentials have been given.
The CURLOPT_FAILONERROR option is not possible to make fool-proof for 401
and 407 cases when auth credentials is given, but we've now covered this
somewhat more.
You might get some amounts of headers transferred before this situation is
detected, like for when a "100-continue" is received as a response to a
POST/PUT and a 401 or 407 is received immediately afterwards.
Added test 281 to verify this change.
could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.
We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.
to the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback has been fixed (it was erroneously
included as part of the header). A message was also added to the
command line tool to show when data is being sent, enabled when
--verbose is used.
and while doing so it became apparent that the current timeout system for
the socket API really was a bit awkward since it become quite some work to
be sure we have the correct timeout set.
Jeff then provided the new CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION that is yet another
callback the app can set to get to know when the general timeout time
changes and thus for an application like hiperfifo.c it makes everything a
lot easier and nicer. There's a CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA option too of course in
good old libcurl tradition.
would crash if a bad function sequence was used when shutting down after
using the multi interface (i.e using easy_cleanup after multi_cleanup) so
precautions have been added to make sure it doesn't any more - test case 529
was added to verify.
it basically was that we didn't remove the current connection from the pipe
list when following a redirect. Also in this commit: several cases of
additional debug code for debug builds helping to check and track down some
signs of run-time trouble.
is still trying to resolve the host name, it seems that the ftp struct is not
yet initialized, but the removal action calls Curl_done() which calls
Curl_ftp_done. So we simply return success from there if no ftp pointer is
set.
handle that is part of a multi handle first removes the handle from the
stack.
- Added CURLOPT_SSL_SESSIONID_CACHE and --no-sessionid to disable SSL
session-ID re-use on demand since there obviously are broken servers out
there that misbehave with session-IDs used.
problem with it (SIGSEGV-style). It clearly showed that the existing
socket-state and state-difference function wasn't good enough so I rewrote
it and could then re-run Jeff's program without any crash. The previous
version clearly could miss to tell the application when a handle changed
from using one socket to using another.
While I was at it (as I could use this as a means to track this problem
down), I've now added a 'magic' number to the easy handle struct that is
inited at curl_easy_init() time and cleared at curl_easy_cleanup() time that
we can use internally to detect that an easy handle seems to be fine, or at
least not closed or freed (freeing in debug builds fill the area with 0x13
bytes but in normal builds we can of course not assume any particular data
in the freed areas).
