As well as parsing the username and password from the URL, added support
for parsing the optional options part from the login details, to allow
the following supported URL format:
schema://username:password;options@example.com/path?q=foobar
This will only be used by IMAP, POP3 and SMTP at present but any
protocol that may be given login options in the URL will be able to
add support for them.
Previously it only compared credentials if the requested needle
connection wasn't using a proxy. This caused NTLM authentication
failures when using proxies as the authentication code wasn't send on
the connection where the challenge arrived.
Added test 1215 to verify: NTLM server authentication through a proxy
(This is a modified copy of test 67)
At some point recently we lost the default value for the easy handle's
connection cache, and this change puts it back to 5 - which is the
former default value and it is documented in the curl_easy_setopt.3 man
page.
curl has been accepting URLs using slightly wrong syntax for a long
time, such as when completely missing as slash "http://example.org" or
missing a slash when a query part is given
"http://example.org?q=foobar".
curl would translate these into a legitimate HTTP request to servers,
although as was shown in bug #1206 it was not adjusted properly in the
cases where a HTTP proxy was used.
Test 1213 and 1214 were added to the test suite to verify this fix.
The test HTTP server was adjusted to allow us to specify test number in
the host name only without using any slashes in a given URL.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1206
Reported by: ScottJi
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.
Always interprets the pointer passed with the CURLOPT_WRITEDATA or
CURLOPT_READDATA options of curl_easy_setopt() as a void pointer in
order to avoid problems in environments where FILE and void pointers
have non-trivial conversion.
This bug report properly identified that when doing SMTP and aborting
the transfer with a callback, it must be considered aborted prematurely
by the code to avoid QUIT etc to be attempted as that would cause a
hang.
The new test case 1507 verifies this behavior.

When a connection is no longer used, it is kept in the cache. If the
cache is full, the oldest idle connection is closed. If no connection is
idle, the current one is closed instead.
Remove internal separated behavior of the easy vs multi intercace.

Much help with debugging this has been provided by: Yang Tse
Fixes initial proxy response being processed by the tunneled protocol
handler instead of the HTTP wrapper handler. This issue would trigger
upon delayed CONNECT response from the proxy.
Additionally fixes a multi interface code-path in which connections

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
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.
The existing logic only cut off the fragment from the separate 'path'
buffer which is used when sending HTTP to hosts. The buffer that held
the full URL used for proxies were not dealt with. It is now.
Test case 5 was updated to use a fragment on a URL over a proxy.

After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source
codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and
will make libcurl return error for it.
1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced
back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly
this way.
1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup
makes the treatment of it unified.
The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and
while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has
decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so
they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this
particular option. I sympathize with that position.

I suspect this is a regression introduced in commit 207cf150, included
since 7.24.0.
Avoid showing '(nil)' as hostname in verbose output by making sure the
hostname fixup function is called early enough to set the pointers that
are used for this. The name data is set again for each request even for
re-used connections to handle multiple hostnames over the same
connection (like with proxy) or that the casing etc of the host name is
changed between requests (which has proven to be important at least once
in the past).
Test1011 was modified to use a redirect with a re-used a connection
since it then showed the bug and now lo longer does. There's currently
no easy way to have the test suite detect 'nil' texts in verbose ouputs
so no tests will detect if this problem gets reintroduced.

Since Curl_pgrsDone() itself calls Curl_pgrsUpdate() which may return an
abort instruction or similar we need to return that info back and
subsequently properly handle return codes from Curl_pgrsDone() where
used.
(Spotted by a Coverity scan)
Roman Mamedov spotted (in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670126) that curl would
not complain when given a URL with an IPv6 numerical address without
brackets. It would simply cut off the last ":[hex]" part and thus not
work correctly.
That's a URL using an illegal syntax and now libcurl will instead return
a clear error code and error message detailing the error.
The above mentioned bug report claims this to be a regression but
libcurl does not guarantee functionality when given URLs that aren't
following the URL spec (RFC3986 mostly). I consider the fact that it
used to handle this differently a mere coincidence.
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.

Curl_protocol_connect() now does the tunneling through the HTTP proxy if
requested instead of letting each protocol specific connection function
do it.
Added a new CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH option that allows the calling program to
set the optional AUTH parameter in the MAIL FROM command.
When this option is specified and an authentication mechanism is used
to communicate with the mail server then the AUTH parameter will be
included in the MAIL FROM command. This is particularly useful when the
calling program is acting as a relay in a trusted environment and
performing server to server communication, as it allows the relaying
server to specify the address of the mailbox that was used to
authenticate and send the original email.
... by making sure that the string is always freed after the invoke as
parse_proxy will always copy the data and this way there's a single
free() instead of multiple ones.
The proxy parser function strips off trailing slashes off the proxy name
which could lead to a mistaken zero length proxy name which would be
treated as no proxy at all by subsequent functions!
This is now detected and an error is returned. Verified by the new test
1329.

Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and
only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST.
It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL
library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0
protocol versions.
This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after
this security advisory:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html
... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old
servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease
the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.
This adds three new options to control the behavior of TCP keepalives:
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE: enable/disable probes
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE: idle time before sending first probe
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL: delay between successive probes
While not all operating systems support the TCP_KEEPIDLE and
TCP_KEEPINTVL knobs, the library will still allow these options to be
set by clients, silently ignoring the values.
When CURLOPT_REFERER has been used, curl_easy_reset() did not properly
clear it.

When a HTTP connection is re-used for a subsequent request without
proxy, it would always re-use the Host: header of the first request. As
host names are case insensitive it would make curl send another host

the desired casing.

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.
Regression introduced in 7.23.0 with commit 9dd85bce. The function in
which the PRETRANSFER time stamp was recorded was moved in time causing

shorter than 1 millisecond and thus it wouldn't even show with -w
"%{time_pretransfer}" using the command line tool.

Now called 'use_ssl' instead, which better matches the current CURLOPT
name and since the option is used for all pingpong protocols (at least)
it makes sense to not use 'ftp' in the name.
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.

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.
