This allows curl(1) to be used as a client-side tunnel for arbitrary stream
protocols by abusing chunked transfer encoding in both the HTTP request and
HTTP response. This requires server support for sending a response while a
request is still being read, of course.
If attempting to read from stdin returns EAGAIN, then we pause our sender.
This leaves curl to attempt to read from the socket while reading from stdin
(and thus sending) is paused.
to detect gnutls build options with pkg-config only and not libgnutls-config
anymore since GnuTLS has stopped distributing that tool. If an explicit path
is given to configure, we will instead guess on how to link and use that
lib. I did not use the patch from the bug report.
is almost always a VERY BAD IDEA. Yet there are still apps out there doing
this, and now recently it triggered a bug/side-effect in libcurl as when
libcurl sends a POST or PUT with NTLM, it sends an empty post first when it
knows it will just get a 401/407 back. If the app then replaced the
Content-Length header, it caused the server to wait for input that libcurl
wouldn't send. Aaron Oneal reported this problem in bug report #2799008http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2799008) and helped us verify the fix.
out that the cookie parser would leak memory when it parses cookies that are
received with domain, path etc set multiple times in the same header. While
such a cookie is questionable, they occur in the wild and libcurl no longer
leaks memory for them. I added such a header to test case 8.
of streams that had some parts (legitimately) missing. We now provide and use
a proper cleanup function for the content encoding submodule.

as reported by Ebenezer Ikonne (on curl-users) and Laurent Rabret (on
curl-library). The transfer was mistakenly marked to get more data to send
but since it didn't actually have that, it just hung there...
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2784055) identifying a problem to
connect to SOCKS proxies when using the multi interface. It turned out to
almost not work at all previously. We need to wait for the TCP connect to
be properly verified before doing the SOCKS magic.
There's still a flaw in the FTP code for this.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2786255) with a patch, identifying how
libcurl did not deal with SSL session ids properly if the server rejected a
re-use of one. Starting now, it will forget the rejected one and remember
the new. This change was for OpenSSL only, it is likely that other SSL lib
code needs similar fixes.
