In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to
use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection
reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested.
This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply
restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection
type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and
to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing
a new connection.
It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if
not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is
cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a
different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting.
Closes#6853
Extend the syntax of CURLOPT_RESOLVE strings: allow using a '+' prefix
(similar to the existing '-' prefix for removing entries) to add
DNS cache entries that will time out just like entries that are added
by libcurl itself.
Append " (non-permanent)" to info log message in case a non-permanent
entry is added.
Adjust relevant comments to reflect the new behavior.
Adjust documentation.
Extend unit1607 to test the new functionality.
Closes#6294
Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page
examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..."
Closes#5969
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
This enables users to preresolve but still take advantage of happy
eyeballs and trying multiple addresses if some are not connecting.
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2260
... so that IPv6 addresses can be passed like they can for connect-to
and how they're used in URLs.
Added test 1324 to verify
