The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.

Renamed the CURLX_ONES file list definition in order to a) try and be
consistent with other file lists and b) to allow for the addition of
the curlx header files, which will assist with Visual Studio project
files generation rather than hard coding those files.
To avoid the regression when users pass in passwords containing semi-
colons, we now drop the ability to set the login options with the same
options. Support for login options in CURLOPT_USERPWD was added in
7.31.0.
Test case 83 was modified to verify that colons and semi-colons can be
used as part of the password when using -u (CURLOPT_USERPWD).

Rather than set the authentication options as part of the login details
specified in the URL, or via the older CURLOPT_USERPWD option, added a
new libcurl option to allow the login options to be set separately.
CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_0, CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_1,
CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 enum values are added to force exact TLS version
(CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 means TLS 1.x).
axTLS:
axTLS only supports TLS 1.0 and 1.1 but it cannot be set that only one
of these should be used, so we don't allow the new enum values.
darwinssl:
Added support for the new enum values.
SChannel:
Added support for the new enum values.
CyaSSL:
Added support for the new enum values.
Bug: The original CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 value enables only TLS 1.0 (it
did the same before this commit), because CyaSSL cannot be configured to
use TLS 1.0-1.2.
GSKit:
GSKit doesn't seem to support TLS 1.1 and TLS 1.2, so we do not allow
those values.
Bugfix: There was a typo that caused wrong SSL versions to be passed to
GSKit.
NSS:
TLS minor version cannot be set, so we don't allow the new enum values.
QsoSSL:
TLS minor version cannot be set, so we don't allow the new enum values.
OpenSSL:
Added support for the new enum values.
Bugfix: The original CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1 value enabled only TLS 1.0,
now it enables 1.0-1.2.
Command-line tool:
Added command line options for the new values.
Add the curl release notes to the release note document generated for
VMS packages.
Add the different filenames generated by a daily build to the
cleanup procedures.
These are the files needed to build VMS distribution packages known as
PCSI kits.
Also minor update to the existing files, mainly to the documentation and
file clean up code.
Update the packages/vms/readme file to be current.
Also some files for the GNV based build were either missing or needed an
update.
curl_crtl_init.c is a special file that is run before main() to
set up the proper C runtime behavior.
generate_vax_transfer.com generates the VAX transfer vector modules from
the gnv_libcurl_symbols.opt file.
gnv_conftest.c_first is a helper file needed for configure scripts to
come up with the expected answers on VMS.
gnv_libcurl_symbols.opt is the public symbols for the libcurl shared
image.
gnv_link_curl.com builds the shared libcurl image and rebuilds other
programs to use it.
macro32_exactcase.patch is a hack to make a local copy of the VMS Macro32
assembler case sensitive, which is needed to build the VAX transfer modules.
report_openssl_version.c is a tool for help verify that the libcurl
shared image is being built for a minium version of openssl.
Update the build_vms.com to detect and use zlib shared image installed
by the ZLIB kit produced by Jean-Francois Pieronne, and the also the
future ZLIB 1.2.8 kit in addition to the older ZLIB kits.
Also fix the indentation to match one of the common standards used for
VMS DCL command files and removed the hard tab characters.
Tested on OpenVMS 8.4 Alpha and IA64, and OpenVMS 7.3 VAX.
This patch removes building curlbuild.h from the build_vms.com procedure
and uses the one in the daily or release tarball instead.
packages/vms/build_curlbuild_h.com is obsolete with this change.
Accessing the library module name "tool_main" needs different handling
when the optional extended parsing is enabled.
Tested on IA64/VMS 8.4 and VAX/VMS 7.3
Added missing slash in cc_full_list.
Removed unwanted extra quotes inside symbol tool_main
for non-VAX architectures that triggered link failure.
Replaced curl_sys_inc with sys_inc.
This is untested, but ought to be enough to still allow it
to work automatically when the entire curl source tree is
dropped into a full Android source tree.
config_h.com is a new file that generates a config.h file based on the
curl_config.h.in file and a quick scan of the configure script. This is
actually a generic procedure that is shared with other VMS packages.
The existing pre-built config-vms.h had over 100 entries that were not
correct and in some cases conflicted with the build options available in
the build_vms.com.
generate_config_vms_h_curl.com is a helper procedure to the
config_h.com. It covers the cases that the generic config_h.com is not
able to figure out, and accepts input from the build_vms.com procedure.
build_curlbuild_h.com is a new file to generate the curlbuild.h file
that Curl is now using when it is using a curl_config.h file.
post-config-vms.h is a new file that is needed to provide VMS specific
definitions, and most of them need to be set before the system header
files are included.
The VMS build procedure is fixed:
1. Fixed to link in the correct HP ssl library.
2. Fixed to detect if HP Kerberos is installed.
3. Fixed to detect if HP LDAP is installed.
4. Fixed to detect if gnv$libzshr is installed.
5. Simplified the input parameter parsing to not use a loop.
6. Warn that 64 bit pointer option support is not complete
in comments.
7. Default to IEEE floating if platform supports it so
resulting libcurl will be compatible with other
open source projects on VMS.
8. Default to LARGEFILE if platform supports it.
9. Default to enable SSL, LDAP, Kerberos, libz
if the libraries are present.
10. Build with exact case global symbols for libcurl.
11. Generate linker option file needed.
12. Compiler list option only commonly needed items.
13. fulllist option for those who really want it.
14. Create debug symbol file on Alpha, IA64.
gcc on DOS hasn't really supported COFF-debug (-gcoff) on djgpp for a
long time.
"Sounds like the COFF debug info generation has bit-rotted in GCC.
Nothing new here, no other platform uses COFF AFAIK."
So lets drop it too.
