While waiting for a host resolve, check if the host cache may have
gotten the name already (by someone else), for when the same name is
resolved by several simultanoues requests.
The resolver thread occasionally gets stuck in getaddrinfo() when the
DNS or anything else is crappy or slow, so when a host is found in the
DNS cache, leave the thread alone and let itself cleanup the mess.
This reverts commit cb3e6dfa35 and instead fixes the problem
differently.
The reverted commit addressed a test failure in test 1021 by simplifying
and generalizing the code flow in a way that damaged the
performance. Now we modify the flow so that Curl_proxyCONNECT() again
does as much as possible in one go, yet still do test 1021 with and
without valgrind. It failed due to mistakes in the multi state machine.

When an error has been detected, skip the final forced call to the
progress callback by making sure to pass the current return code
variable in the Curl_done() call in the CURLM_STATE_DONE state.
This avoids the "extra" callback that could occur even if you returned
error from the progress callback.

Make all code use connclose() and connkeep() when changing the "close
state" for a connection. These two macros take a string argument with an
explanation, and debug builds of curl will include that in the debug
output. Helps tracking connection re-use/close issues.
In commit 0b3750b5c2 (released in 7.36.0) we fixed a timeout issue
but instead broke the timings.
To fix this, I introduce a new timestamp to use for the timeouts and
restored the previous timestamp and timestamp position so that the old
timer functionality is restored.
In addition to that, that change also broke connection timeouts for when
more than one connect was used (as it would then count the total time
from the first connect and not for the most recent one). Now
Curl_timeleft() has been modified so that it checks against different
start times depending on which timeout it checks.
Test 1303 is updated accordingly.

set.infilesize in this case was modified in several places, which could
lead to repeated requests using the same handle to get unintendent/wrong
consequences based on what the previous request did!
ufds might not be allocated in case nfds overflows to zero while
extra_nfds is still non-zero. udfs is then accessed within the
extra_nfds-based for loop.
Setting the TIMER_STARTSINGLE timestamp first in CONNECT has the
drawback that for actions that go back to the CONNECT state, the time
stamp is reset and for the multi_socket API there's no corresponding
Curl_expire() then so the timeout logic gets wrong!

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2014-02/0036.html
A transfer timeout could result in an error message such as "Operation
timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 19 bytes of -1 received". This
patch removes the non-sensical "of -1" when the size of the transfer
is unknown, mirroring the logic in lib/transfer.c
With the recently added timeout "reminder" functionality, there's no
reason left for us to execute timeout code before the time is
ripe. Simplifies the handling too.
This will make the *TIMEOUT and *CONNECTTIMEOUT options more accurate
again, which probably is most important when the *_MS versions are used.
In multi_socket, make sure to update 'now' after having handled activity
on a socket.
BACKGROUND:
We have learned that on some systems timeout timers are inaccurate and
might occasionally fire off too early. To make the multi_socket API work
with this, we made libcurl execute timeout actions a bit early too if
they are within our MULTI_TIMEOUT_INACCURACY. (added in commit
2c72732ebf, present since 7.21.0)
Switching everything to the multi API made this inaccuracy problem
slightly more notable as now everyone can be affected.
Recently (commit 21091549c0) we tweaked that inaccuracy value to make
timeouts more accurate and made it platform specific. We also figured
out that we have code at places that check for fixed timeout values so
they MUST NOT run too early as then they will not trigger at all (see
commit be28223f35 and a691e04470) - so there are definitately problems
with running timeouts before they're supposed to run. (We've handled
that so far by adding the inaccuracy margin to those specific timeouts.)
The libcurl multi_socket API tells the application with a callback that
a timeout expires in N milliseconds (and it explicitly will not tell it
again for the same timeout), and the application is then supposed to
call libcurl when that timeout expires. When libcurl subsequently gets
called with curl_multi_socket_action(...CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT...), it
knows that the application thinks the timeout expired - and alas, if it
is within the inaccuracy level libcurl will run code handling that
handle.
If the application says CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT to libcurl and _isn't_
within the inaccuracy level, libcurl will not consider the timeout
expired and it will not tell the application again since the timeout
value is still the same.
NOW:
This change introduces a modified behavior here. If the application says
CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT and libcurl finds no timeout code to run, it will
inform the application about the timeout value - *again* even if it is
the same timeout that it already told about before (although libcurl
will of course tell it the updated time so that it'll still get the
correct remaining time). This way, we will not risk that the application
believes it has done its job and libcurl thinks the time hasn't come yet
to run any code and both just sit waiting. This also allows us to
decrease the MULTI_TIMEOUT_INACCURACY margin, but that will be handled
in a separate commit.
A repeated timeout update to the application risk that the timeout will
then fire again immediately and we have what basically is a busy-loop
until the time is fine even for libcurl. If that becomes a problem, we
need to address it.
When the progress callback returned 1 at a very early state, the code
would not make CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK get returned but the process
would still be interrupted. In the HTTP case, this would then cause a
CURLE_GOT_NOTHING to erroneously get returned instead.

Following commit 0aafd77fa4, replaced the internal usage of
FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU with the external versions that we
expect API programmers to use.
This negates the need for separate definitions which were subtly
different under different platforms/compilers.
The FILE:// code doesn't support this option - and it doesn't make sense
to support it as long as it works as it does since then it'd only block
even longer.
But: setting CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE would make the transfer first
get done and then libcurl would wait until the average speed would get
low enough. This happened because the transfer happens completely in the
DO state for FILE:// but then it would still unconditionally continue in
to the PERFORM state where the speed check is made.
Starting now, the code will skip from DO_DONE to DONE immediately if no
socket is set to be recv()ed or send()ed to.

This patch fixes and issue introduced in commit 7d7df83198, if the
tunnel state was TUNNEL_CONNECT, waitconnect_getsock() would return a
bitmask indicating a readable socket but never stored the socket in the
return array.
This patch adds a 200ms delay between the first and second address
family socket connection attempts.
It also iterates over IP addresses in the order returned by the
system, meaning most dual-stack systems will try IPv6 first.
Additionally, it refactors the connect code, removing most code that
handled synchronous connects. Since all sockets are now non-blocking,
the logic can be made simpler.
The code rejected 0 as a valid timeout while in fact the function could
indeed legitimately return that and it should be respected.
Reported-by: Bjorn Stenberg
This patch invokes two socket connect()s nearly simultaneously, and
the socket that is first connected "wins" and is subsequently used for
the connection. The other is terminated.
There is a very slight IPv4 preference, in that if both sockets connect
simultaneously IPv4 is checked first and thus will win.
When waiting for a 100-continue response from the server, the
Curl_readwrite() will refuse to run if called until the timeout has been
reached.
We timeout code in multi_socket() allows code to run slightly before the
actual timeout time, so for test 154 it could lead to the function being
executed but refused in Curl_readwrite() and then the application would
just sit idling forever.
This was detected with runtests.pl -e on test 154.
Make sure we always return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM when we reach
CURLM_STATE_DONE since the state is transient and it can very well
continue executing as there is nothing to wait for.

Doing curl_multi_add_handle() on an easy handle that is already added to
a multi handle now returns this error code. It previously returned
CURLM_BAD_EASY_HANDLE for this condition.
The closure_handle is "owned" by the multi handle and it is
unconditional so the setting up of it should be in the Curl_multi_handle
function rather than curl_multi_add_handle.
With everything being struct SessionHandle pointers now, this rename
makes multi.c use the library-wide practise of calling that pointer
'data' instead of the previously used 'easy'.
Moved Curl_easy_addmulti() from easy.c to multi.c, renamed it to
easy_addmulti and made it static.
Removed Curl_easy_initHandleData() and uses of it since it was emptied
in commit cdda92ab67b47d74a.
CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE broke in commit c43127414d (been
broken since the libcurl 7.29.0 release). While this option has been
documented as deprecated for almost a decade and nobody even reported
this bug, it should remain functional.
Added test case 1512 to verify
This is a regression as this logic used to work. It isn't clear when it
broke, but I'm assuming in 7.28.0 when we went all-multi internally.
This likely never worked with the multi interface. As the failed
connection is detected once the multi state has reached DO_MORE, the
Curl_do_more() function was now expanded somewhat so that the
ftp_do_more() function can request to go "back" to the previous state
when it makes another attempt - using PASV.
Added test case 1233 to verify this fix. It has the little issue that it
assumes no service is listening/accepting connections on port 1...

The motivation for having a separate struct that keep track of an easy
handle when using the multi handle was removed when we switched to
always using the multi interface internally. Now they were just two
separate struct that was always allocated for each easy handle.
This first step just moves the Curl_one_easy struct members into the
SessionHandle struct and hides this somehow (== keeps the source code
changes to a minimum) by defining Curl_one_easy to SessionHandle
The biggest changes in this commit are:
1 - the linked list of easy handles had to be changed somewhat due
to the new struct layout. This made the main linked list pointer
get renamed to 'easyp' and there's also a new pointer to the last
node, called easylp. It is no longer circular but ends with ->next
pointing to NULL. New nodes are still added last.
2 - easy->state is now called easy->mstate to avoid name collision
Commit 6d30f8ebed didn't work properly. First, it used the wrong
array index, but this fix also:
1 - only does the copying if indeed there was any activity
2 - makes sure to properly translate between internal and external
bitfields, which are not guaranteed to match

As a remedy to the problem when a socket gets closed and a new one is
opened with the same file descriptor number and as a result
multi.c:singlesocket() doesn't detect the difference, the new function

By introducing an internal alternative to curl_multi_init() that accepts
parameters to set the hash sizes, easy handles will now use tiny socket
and connection hash tables since it will only ever add a single easy
handle to that multi handle.
This decreased the number mallocs in test 40 (which is a rather simple
and typical easy interface use case) from 1142 to 138. The maximum
amount of memory allocated used went down from 118969 to 78805.
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.
See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
When Curl_do() returns failure, the connection pointer could be NULL so
the code path following needs to that that into account.

Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried

----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-02/0195.html
The code in the toofast state needs to first recalculate the values
before it uses them again since it may have been a while since it last
did it when it reaches this point.
The info about pipe status and expire cleared are clearly debug-related
and not anything mere mortals will or should care about so they are now
ifdef'ed DEBUGBUILD
The generic timeout code must not check easy handles that are already
completed. Going to completed (again) within there risked decreasing the
number of alive handles again and thus it could go negative.
This regression bug was added in 7.21.2 in commit ca10e28f06
It helps to prevent a hangup with some FTP servers in case idle session
timeout has exceeded. But it may be useful also for other protocols
that send any quit message on disconnect. Currently used by FTP, POP3,
IMAP and SMTP.
The functions Curl_disconnect() and Curl_done() are both used within the
scope of a single request so they cannot be allowed to use
Curl_expire(... 0) to kill all timeouts as there are some timeouts that
are set before a request that are supposed to remain until the request
is done.
The timeouts are now instead cleared at curl_easy_cleanup() and when the
multi state machine changes a handle to the complete state.
Add a timeout check for handles in the state machine so that they will
timeout in all states disregarding what actions that may or may not
happen.
Fixed a bug in socket_action introduced recently when looping over timed
out handles: it wouldn't assign the 'data' variable and thus it wouldn't
properly take care of handles.
In the update_timer function, the code now checks if the timeout has
been removed and then it tells the application. Previously it would
always let the remaining timeout(s) just linger to expire later on.
Each easy handle has a list of timeouts, so as soon as the main timeout
for a handle expires, we must make sure to get the next entry from the
list and re-add the handle to the splay tree.
This was attempted previously but was done poorly in my commit
232ad6549a.
I fell over this bug report that mentioned that libcurl could wrongly
send more than one complete messages at the end of a transfer. Reading
the code confirmed this, so I've added a new multi state to make it not
happen. The mentioned bug report was made by Brad Jorsch but is (oddly
enough) filed in Debian's bug tracker for the "wmweather+" tool.
Bug: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=593390
When detecting that the send or recv speed, the multi interface changes
state to TOOFAST and previously there was no timeout set that would
force a recheck but it would rely on the application to somehow call
libcurl anyway. This now sets a timeout for a suitable future time to
check again if the average transfer speed is then below the threshold
again.
Curl_expire() is now expanded to hold a list of timeouts for each easy
handle. Only the closest in time will be the one used as the primary
timeout for the handle and will be used for the splay tree (which sorts
and lists all handles within the multi handle).
When the main timeout has triggered/expired, the next timeout in time
that is kept in the list will be moved to the main timeout position and
used as the key to splay with. This way, all timeouts that are set with
Curl_expire() internally will end up as a proper timeout. Previously any
Curl_expire() that set a _later_ timeout than what was already set was
just silently ignored and thus missed.
Setting Curl_expire() with timeout 0 (zero) will cancel all previously
added timeouts.
Corrects known bug #62.
Instead of looping over all attached easy handles, this now keeps a list
of messages in the multi handle. It allows curl_multi_info_read() to
perform O(1) no matter how many easy handles that are handled. This is
of importance since this function may be polled very frequently by apps
using the multi interface.
The struct used for storing the message for a completed transfer is now
no longer allocated separatly but is kept within the main struct kept
for each easy handle so that we avoid one malloc (and the subsequent
free).
curl_multi perform has two phases: run through every easy handle calling
multi_runsingle and remove expired timers (timer removal).
If a small timer (e.g. 1-10ms) is set during multi_runsingle, then it's
possible that the timer has passed by when the timer removal runs. The
timer which was just added is then removed. This will potentially cause
the timer list to be empty and cause the next call to curl_multi_timeout
to return -1. Ideally, curl_multi_timeout should return 0 in this case.
One way to fix this is to move the struct timeval now = Curl_tvnow(); to
the top of curl_multi_perform. The change does that.
When curl_multi_remove_handle() is called and an easy handle is returned
to the connection cache held in the multi handle, then we cannot allow
CURLINFO_LASTSOCKET to extract it since that will more or less encourage
that the user uses the socket while it can get used by libcurl again.
Without this fix, we'd get a segfault in Curl_getconnectinfo() trying to
dereference the NULL pointer in 'data->state.connc'.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3023840
My additional call to Curl_pgrsUpdate() would sometimes get
called even though there's no connection (left) so a NULL pointer
would get passed, causing a segfault.
1) no need to call the progress function twice when in the
CURLM_STATE_TOOFAST state.
2) Make sure that the progress callback's return code is
acknowledged when used
As long as no error is reported, the progress function can get
called. This may be a little TOO often so we should keep an eye
on this and possibly make this conditional somehow.
Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and
using timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with
libcurl's use of GetTickCount() interally to figure out the
current time, while Igor's own application code used another
function call.
It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit
_before_ libcurl would consider the timeout to trigger, and that
could easily lead to timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems
GetTickCount() in general often has no better resolution than
16ms and switching to the alternative function
QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:
http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106
We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers
that already has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for
treatment. I'm confident that there are other implementations and
operating systems with similarly in accurate timer functions so
it makes sense to have applied generically and I don't believe we
sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these timeouts.
Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi
interface crash. His example simply used the multi interface and
did first one FTP transfer and after completion it used a second
easy handle and did another FTP transfer on the same FTP server.
This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system
that curl uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep
an easy handle around internally - only for the purpose of having
an easy handle when it later disconnects it. The code assumed
that when the easy handle was removed and an internal reference
was made, that version could be killed later on when a new easy
handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as Hauke's
example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real
until later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.
The problem mentioned on Dec 10 2009
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2905220) was only partially fixed.
Partially because an easy handle can be associated with many connections in
the cache (e.g. if there is a redirect during the lifetime of the easy
handle). The previous patch only cleaned up the first one. The new fix now
removes the easy handle from all connections, not just the first one.
simply check for CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM internally. This has the added
benefit that this goes in line with my long-term wishes to get rid of the
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM all together from the public API.
state, we return CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM unconditionally then so that we
can act faster like in the case the protocol-specific connect doesn't block
on anything and we can just persue on the next action immediately. It also
then avoids a case where curl_multi_fdset() would return -1.

(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.
FTP with the multi interface: when a transfer fails, like when aborted by a
write callback, the control connection was wrongly closed and thus not
re-used properly.
This change is also an attempt to cleanup the code somewhat in this area, as
now the FTP code attempts to keep (better) track on pending responses
necessary to get read in ftp_done().
When using the multi interface over HTTP and the server returns a Location
header, the running easy handle will get stuck in the CURLM_STATE_PERFORM
state, leaving the external event loop stuck waiting for data from the
ingoing socket (when using the curl_multi_socket_action stuff). While this
bug was pretty hard to find, it seems to require only a one-line fix. The
break statement on line 1374 in multi.c caused the function to skip the call
to multistate().
How to reproduce this bug? Well, that's another question. evhiperfifo.c in
the examples directory chokes on this bug only _sometimes_, probably
depending on how fast the URLs are added. One way of testing the bug out is
writing to hiper.fifo from more than one source at the same time.
pipelining, as libcurl could then easily get confused and A) work on the
handle that was not "first in queue" on a pipeline, or even B) tell the app
to REMOVE a socket while it was in use by a second handle in a pipeline. Both
errors caused hanging or stalling applications.
was actually ready to get done, as the internal time resolution is higher
than the returned millisecond timer. Therefore it could cause applications
running on fast processors to do short bursts of busy-loops.
curl_multi_timeout() will now only return 0 if the timeout is actually
alreay triggered.
now has an improved ability to do right when the multi interface (both
"regular" and multi_socket) is used for SCP and SFTP transfers. This should
result in (much) less busy-loop situations and thus less CPU usage with no
speed loss.
removing easy handles from multi handles when the easy handle is/was within
a HTTP pipeline. His bug report #2351653
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351653) was also related and was
eventually fixed by a patch by Igor himself.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2351645) that identified a problem with
the multi interface that occured if you removed an easy handle while in
progress and the handle was used in a HTTP pipeline.
eventually identified a flaw in how the multi_socket interface in some cases
missed to call the timeout callback when easy interfaces are removed and
added within the same millisecond.
libcurl to not tell the app properly when a socket was closed (when the name
resolve done by c-ares is done) and then immediately re-created and put to
use again (for the actual connection). Since the closure will make the
"watch status" get lost in several event-based systems libcurl will need to
tell the app about this close/re-create case.
the curl_multi_socket() API with HTTP pipelining enabled and could lead to
the pipeline basically stalling for a very long period of time until it took
off again.
go straight to DO
we had multiple states for which the internal function returned no socket at
all to wait for, with the effect that libcurl calls the socket callback (when
curl_multi_socket() is used) with REMOVE prematurely (as it would be added
again within very shortly)
redirections and thus cannot use CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION easily, we now
introduce the new CURLINFO_REDIRECT_URL option that lets applications
extract the URL libcurl would've redirected to if it had been told to. This
then enables the application to continue to that URL as it thinks is
suitable, without having to re-implement the magic of creating the new URL
from the Location: header etc. Test 1029 verifies it.

this code and functionality has been broken since about 7.15.4 (March 2006)

It was a hack to begin with and since it doesn't work and hasn't worked
correctly for a long time and nobody has even noticed, I consider it a very
suitable subject for plain removal. And so it was done.
CONNECT over a proxy. curl_multi_fdset() didn't report back the socket
properly during that state, due to a missing case in the switch in the
multi_getsock() function.

fired up N transfers at once as then they wouldn't pipeline at all that
nicely as anyone would think... Test case 530 was also updated to take the
improved functionality into account.
is inited at the start of the DO action. I removed the Curl_transfer_keeper
struct completely, and I had to move out a few struct members (that had to
be set before DO or used after DONE) to the UrlState struct. The SingleRequest
struct is accessed with SessionHandle->req.
One of the biggest reasons for doing this was the bunch of duplicate struct
members in HandleData and Curl_transfer_keeper since it was really messy to
keep track of two variables with the same name and basically the same purpose!
do_init() and do_complete() which now are called first and last in the DO
function. It simplified the flow in multi.c and the functions got more
sensible names!
hash function for different hashes, and also expanded the default size for

function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the

allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
curl_multi_socket*().

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.
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

(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.
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.

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).
we did wrong and patched it: When nodes were removed from the splay tree,
and we didn't properly remove it from the splay tree when an easy handle was
removed from a multi stack and thus we could wrongly leave a node in the
splay tree pointing to (bad) memory.
the crash was that libcurl internally was a bit confused about who owned the
DNS cache at all times so if you created an easy handle that uses a shared
DNS cache and added that to a multi handle it would crash. Now we keep more
careful internal track of exactly what kind of DNS cache each easy handle
uses: None, Private (allocated for and used only by this single handle),
Shared (points to a cache held by a shared object), Global (points to the
global cache) or Multi (points to the cache within the multi handle that is
automatically shared between all easy handles that are added with private
caches).
CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE that limit tha maximum rate libcurl is allowed
to send or receive data. This kind of adds the the command line tool's
option --limit-rate to the library.
The rate limiting logic in the curl app is now removed and is instead
provided by libcurl itself. Transfer rate limiting will now also work for -d
and -F, which it didn't before.
multi stack and that easy handle had already been used to do one or more
easy interface transfers, as then the code threw away the previously used
DNS cache without properly freeing it.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1431750) helped me identify and fix two
different but related bugs:
1) Removing an easy handle from a multi handle before the transfer is done
could leave a connection in the connection cache for that handle that is
in a state that isn't suitable for re-use. A subsequent re-use could then
read from a NULL pointer and segfault.
2) When an easy handle was removed from the multi handle, there could be an
outstanding c-ares DNS name resolve request. When the response arrived,
it caused havoc since the connection struct it "belonged" to could've
been freed already.
Now Curl_done() is called when an easy handle is removed from a multi handle
pre-maturely (that is, before the transfer was complteted). Curl_done() also
makes sure to cancel all (if any) outstanding c-ares requests.
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract
the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at
all after the connect is done.
