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.
The option '--bearer' might be slightly ambiguous in name. It doesn't
create any conflict that I am aware of at the moment, however, OAUTH v2
is not the only authentication mechanism which uses "bearer" tokens.
Reported-by: Kyle L. Huff
URL: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-10/0064.html
Added missing information, from curl 7.31.0, regarding the use of the
optional login options that may be specified as part of --user.
For example:
--user 'user:password;auth=NTLM' in IMAP, POP3 and SMTP protocols.
Added the ability to use an XOAUTH2 bearer token [RFC6750] with POP3 for
authentication using RFC6749 "OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework".
The bearer token is expected to be valid for the user specified in
conn->user. If CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER is defined and the connection has
an advertised auth mechanism of "XOAUTH2", the user and access token are
formatted as a base64 encoded string and sent to the server as
"AUTH XOAUTH2 <bearer token>".
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.
Since the mk-ca-bundle tool itself isn't installed with make install,
there's no point in installing its documentation.

This is the first version of this new document, detailing the seven
perhaps most important internal structs in libcurl source code:
1.1 SessionHandle
1.2 connectdata
1.3 Curl_multi
1.4 Curl_handler
1.5 conncache
1.6 Curl_share
1.7 CookieInfo
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION is now the preferred progress callback function
and CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION is considered deprecated.
This new callback uses pure 'curl_off_t' arguments to pass on full
resolution sizes. It otherwise retains the same characteristics: the
same call rate, the same meanings for the arguments and the return code
is used the same way.
The progressfunc.c example is updated to show how to use the new
callback for newer libcurls while supporting the older one if built with
an older libcurl or even built with a newer libcurl while running with
an older.
Implement wrappers around strtod to convert the user argument to a
double with sane error checking. Use this to allow --max-time and
--connect-timeout to accept decimal values instead of strictly integers.
The manpage is updated to make mention of this feature and,
additionally, forewarn that the actual timeout of the operation can
vary in its precision (particularly as the value increases in its
decimal precision).
Also added a (correctly-escaped) backslash to the autoexec.bat
example file and a new Windows character device name with
a colon as examples of other characters that are special
and potentially dangerous (this reverts and reworks commit
7d8d2a54).
If the multi handle's pending timeout is less than what is passed into
this function, it will now opt to use the shorter time anyway since it
is a very good hint that the handle wants to process something in a
shorter time than what otherwise would happen.
curl_multi_wait.3 was updated accordingly to clarify
This is the reason for bug #1224

Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a
certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because
Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any
non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data
loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be
loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or
the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.
...when mentioning login options. Additional minor clarification of
"Windows builds" to be "Windows builds with SSPI"as a way of enabling
NTLM as Windows builds may be built with OpenSSL to enable NTLM or
without NTLM support altogether.
Moved SMTP, POP3, IMAP and New Protocol sections to be listed after the
other protocols (FTP, HTTP and TELNET) and SASL to be after SSL and
GnuTLS as these are all security related.
Additionally fixed numbering of the SSL and GnuTLS sections as they
weren't consecutive.
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.
No more use exit(3) but instead tell libcurl that no byte has been
written to let it return a `CURLE_WRITE_ERROR`. In addition, check
curl easy handle return code.
Updated the POP3 sub-section to refer to message ID rather than mailbox.
Added an IMAP sub-section with example URLs depicting the specification
of mailbox, uid and section.
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options.
* Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to
'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such.
* Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for
curl_easy_setopt().
* Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'.
* Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.
* Adds some missing periods.
* Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to
free().
* Adds several links to documentation of library functions which were
missing.
* Marks documentation of deprecated library functions "(deprecated)".
* Removes spurious .html suffixes.
Schannel and darwinssl use the certificates built into the
OS to do vert verification instead of bundles. darwinssl
is thread-safe. Corrected typos in the NSS docs.
VC6 is _very_ old and we provide working makefiles even for that
compiler. Users who build with the IDE never use that method and project
file anyway and it was just lingering in the root dir.
Added IDN and HTTP data compression as they were left out of the
document until now.
Added notes for qssl, schannel and Secure Transport supporting SSLv2,
Secure Transport supports NTLM, and axTLS does not support SSLv3.
There was also a typo; "AUTH TSL" should be "AUTH TLS".
- document the double-quote and backslash need be escaped if quoting.
- libcurl formdata escape double-quote in filename by backslash.
- curl formparse can parse filename both contains '"' and ',' or ';'.
- curl now can uploading file with ',' or ';' in filename.

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.
I ran the 2.59 version of autoupdate that updates obsoleted configure.ac
constructs to the 2.59 standard. With a little hands-on fiddling I
prevented it from ruining the quoting in AS_HELP_STRING() uses.
I subsequently also bumped the required autoconf version to 2.59
(released in December 2003) as I don't have an older autoconf version
around to test with and I can't be bothered to install one either...

BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
Blocking connect on the socket has been removed from opensocket
callback. opensocket just opens a new socket and gives it back to
libcurl and libcurl will take care of the connect. sockopt_callback has
also been removed, as it is no longer required.
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.

The test would hang and get aborted with a "ABORTING TEST, since it
seems that it would have run forever." until I prevented that from
happening.
I also fixed the data file which got broken CRLF line endings when I
sucked down the path from Joe's repo == my fault.
Removed #37 from KNOWN_BUGS as this fix and test case verifies exactly
this.
"Currently you can only share DNS and/or COOKIE data" is incorrect since

It's conceivable that after the first time curl_multi_perform returns,
the outvalue still_running will be 0, but work will have been done. This
is shown by a workload of small, purely file:// based URLs. Ensure that
we always read pending messages off the multi handle by forcing the
while loop to run at least once.
Removed APOP and SASL authentication from the POP3 section and metalink
support from the client section as these features were implemented in
this release.
Moved adding gssapi to SASL into it's own section rather than repeat it
for each protocol.
Documented that --include will be ignored if both --metalink
and --include are specified.
Also documented that a Metalink file in the local file system
cannot be used if FILE protocol is disabled.
Version number is removed in order to make this info consistent with
how we do it with other MS and Linux system libraries for which we don't
provide this info.
Identifier changed from 'WinSSPI' to 'schannel' given that this is the
actual provider of the SSL/TLS support. libcurl can still be built with
SSPI and without SCHANNEL support.
- For all *FUNCTION options, they now all show the complete prototype in
the description. Previously some of them would just refer to a
typedef'ed function pointer in the curl.h header.
- I made the phrasing of that "Pass a pointer to a function that matches
the following prototype" the same for all *FUNCTION option descriptions.
- I removed some uses of 'should'. I think I sometimes over-use this
word as in many places I actually mean MUST or otherwise more specific
and not-so-optional synonyms.
Added new sections 11. IMAP and 12. LDAP to document adding SASL based
authentication.
Renumbered current sections 11 to 17 as 13 to 19.
Additionally added 19.10 Add CURLOPT_MAIL_CLIENT option.
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value
defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request.
Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three
bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.
Standardised how RFCs are referenced so that the website may autolink to
the correct documentation on ietf.org. Additionally removed the one link
to RFC3986 on curl.haxx.se.
The curl-config command must be used twice in the single command line to
work properly in some environments.

BUILDING_LIBCURL and CURL_STATICLIB are no longer defined in curl_config.h,
configure will generate appropriate conditionals so that mentioned symbols
get defined and used in Makefiles at compilation time
Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
By modifying the parameter list for ourWriteOut() and passing the
OutStruct that collects data in tool_operate, we get access to the
remote name that we're writing to. Shell scripters should find this
useful when used in conjuntion with the --remote-header-name option.
If an empty string is passed to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE, libcurl will
pass no public key to libssh2 which then tries to compute it from the
private key. This is known to work when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against
OpenSSL.
Original wording could lead users in thinking it tries to
somehow parse the filename for a date expression (like
news_2012_03_05.html). It never mentions that it actually
reads the mtime of the file in filesystem.
Set the conn->data->info.httpcode variable in smtp_statemach_act() to
allow Curl_getinfo() to return the SMTP response code via the
CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE action.
Added information relating to the new CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH parameter and
reworked CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT to be a clearer.
Fixed inconsistencies of "vocalisation of the abbreviation" versus
"vocalisation of the first word" for all abbreviations.
Corrected a typo in CURLOPT_NOPROXY.
Modify configure.ac to test for new CyaSSL Init function and remove
default install path to system. Change to CyaSSL OpenSSL header and
proper Init in code as well.
Note that this no longer detects or works with CyaSSL before v2
This new option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the
SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. It uses the new libcurl option
CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS with the CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST bit set.
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.
Use the new library CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than disabling this via
the sockopt callback. If --keepalive-time is used, apply the value to
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL.
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.
As is pointed out in this bug report, there can indeed be situation
where --stderr has a point even when the "real" stderr can be
redirected. Remove the superfluous and wrong comment.
