* HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection.
Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent
uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct
the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin
server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy
communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests
(including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_
SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy
and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server
(through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions
as well.
A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL
options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts,
except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath
which defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS.
* A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS
proxy.
TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options.
Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big
cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the
project could still formally be considered called cURL.
As they are after all part of the public API. Saves space and reduces
complexity. Remove the strcase defines from the curlx_ family.
Suggested-by: Dan Fandrich
Idea: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-10/0136.html
These two public functions have been mentioned as deprecated since a
very long time but since they are still part of the API and ABI we need
to keep them around.
... to make it less likely that we forget that the function actually
does case insentive compares. Also replaced several invokes of the
function with a plain strcmp when case sensitivity is not an issue (like
comparing with "-").
RFC7512 provides a standard method to reference certificates in PKCS#11
tokens, by means of a URI starting 'pkcs11:'.
We're working on fixing various applications so that whenever they would
have been able to use certificates from a file, users can simply insert
a PKCS#11 URI instead and expect it to work. This expectation is now a
part of the Fedora packaging guidelines, for example.
This doesn't work with cURL because of the way that the colon is used
to separate the certificate argument from the passphrase. So instead of
curl -E 'pkcs11:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
I instead need to invoke cURL with the colon escaped, like this:
curl -E 'pkcs11\:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
This is suboptimal because we want *consistency* — the URI should be
usable in place of a filename anywhere, without having strange
differences for different applications.
This patch therefore disables the processing in parse_cert_parameter()
when the string starts with 'pkcs11:'. It means you can't pass a
passphrase with an unescaped PKCS#11 URI, but there's no need to do so
because RFC7512 allows a PIN to be given as a 'pin-value' attribute in
the URI itself.
Also, if users are already using RFC7512 URIs with the colon escaped as
in the above example — even providing a passphrase for cURL to handling
instead of using a pin-value attribute, that will continue to work
because their string will start 'pkcs11\:' and won't match the check.
What *does* break with this patch is the extremely unlikely case that a
user has a file which is in the local directory and literally named
just "pkcs11", and they have a passphrase on it. If that ever happened,
the user would need to refer to it as './pkcs11:<passphrase>' instead.
After a few wasted hours hunting down the reason for slowness during a
TLS handshake that turned out to be because of TCP_NODELAY not being
set, I think we have enough motivation to toggle the default for this
option. We now enable TCP_NODELAY by default and allow applications to
switch it off.
This also makes --tcp-nodelay unnecessary, but --no-tcp-nodelay can be
used to disable it.

- Move the existing scheme check from tool_operate.
In the case of --remote-header-name we want to parse Content-disposition
for a filename, but only if the scheme is http or https. A recent
adjustment 0dc4d8e was made to account for schemeless URLs however it's
not 100% accurate. To remedy that I've moved the scheme check to the
header callback, since at that point the library has already determined
the scheme.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/760
Reported-by: Kai Noda
It does open up a miniscule risk that one of the other protocols that
libcurl could use would send back a Content-Disposition header and then
curl would act on it even if not HTTP.
A future mitigation for this risk would be to allow the callback to ask
libcurl which protocol is being used.

Closes#760
In commit 2e42b0a252 (Jan 2008) we made the option "--socks" deprecated
and it has not been documented since. The more explicit socks options
(like --socks4 or --socks5) should be used.
The underlying libcurl option used for this feature is
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS which has the ability to retry the dir
creation, but it was never set to do that by the command line tool.
Now it does.

As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options
together.
As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of
7.49.0.
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP
- Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup
before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls
init.
- Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP
- Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl
command line tool.
In makefile.m32, option -ssh2 (libssh2) automatically implied -ssl
(OpenSSL) option, with no way to override it with -winssl. Since both
libssh2 and curl support using Windows's built-in SSL backend, modify
the logic to allow that combination.
- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.

- Add unit test 1604 to test the sanitize_file_name function.
- Use -DCURL_STATICLIB when building libcurltool for unit testing.
- Better detection of reserved DOS device names.
- New flags to modify sanitize behavior:
SANITIZE_ALLOW_COLONS: Allow colons
SANITIZE_ALLOW_PATH: Allow path separators and colons
SANITIZE_ALLOW_RESERVED: Allow reserved device names
SANITIZE_ALLOW_TRUNCATE: Allow truncating a long filename
- Restore sanitization of banned characters from user-specified outfile.
Prior to this commit sanitization of a user-specified outfile was
temporarily disabled in 2b6dadc because there was no way to allow path
separators and colons through while replacing other banned characters.
Now in such a case we call the sanitize function with
SANITIZE_ALLOW_PATH which allows path separators and colons to pass
through.

Due to path separators being incorrectly sanitized in --output
pathnames, eg -o c:\foo => c__foo
This is a partial revert of 3017d8a until I write a proper fix. The
remote-name will continue to be sanitized, but if the user specified an
--output with string replacement (#1, #2, etc) that data is unsanitized
until I finish a fix.

curl does not sanitize colons in a remote file name that is used as the
local file name. This may lead to a vulnerability on systems where the
colon is a special path character. Currently Windows/DOS is the only OS
where this vulnerability applies.
CVE-2016-0754
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20160127B.html
This allows the root Makefile.am to include the Makefile.inc without
causing automake to warn on it (variables named *_SOURCES are
magic). curl_SOURCES is then instead assigned properly in
src/Makefile.am only.
Closes#577
Make this the default for the curl tool (if built with HTTP/2 powers
enabled) unless a specific HTTP version is requested on the command
line.
This should allow more users to get HTTP/2 powers without having to
change anything.
They didn't match the ifdef logic used within libcurl anyway so they
could indeed warn for the wrong case - plus the tool cannot know how the
lib actually performs at that level.
Commit f3bae6ed73 added the URL index to the password prompt when using
--next. Unfortunately, because the size_t specifier (%zu) is not
supported by all sprintf() implementations we use the curl_off_t format
specifier instead. The display of an incorrect value arises on platforms
where size_t and curl_off_t are of a different size.
They tend to never get updated anyway so they're frequently inaccurate
and we never go back to revisit them anyway. We document issues to work
on properly in KNOWN_BUGS and TODO instead.
Fixes a name space pollution at the cost of programs using one of these
defines will no longer compile. However, the vast majority of libcurl
programs that do multipart formposts use curl_formadd() to build this
list.
Closes#506
It uses 'Note:' as a prefix as opposed to the common 'Warning:' to take
down the tone a bit.
It adds a warning for using -XHEAD on other methods becasue that may
lead to a hanging connection.
It isn't always clear to the user which options that cause the HTTP
methods to conflict so by spelling them out it should hopefully be
easier to understand why curl complains.
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default
protocol for schemeless URLs.
- Add new tool option --proto-default to expose
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.
In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way:
When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default.
When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of
guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke.
New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.
Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic
certificate revocation checking by default. According to the
ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking
(NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at
some later point.

This check scans for fopen() with a mode string without 'b' present, as
it may indicate that an FOPEN_* define should rather be used.
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_READTEXT instead of "r" or "rt"
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_WRITETEXT instead of "w" or "wt"
This change is to explicitly specify when we need to read/write text.
Unfortunately 't' is not part of POSIX fopen so we can't specify it
directly. Instead we now have FOPEN_READTEXT, FOPEN_WRITETEXT.
Prior to this change we had an issue on Windows if an application that
uses libcurl overrides the default file mode to binary. The default file
mode in Windows is normally text mode (translation mode) and that's what
libcurl expects.

This fixes a build failure where openssl and libmetalink are used
together and the system linker does not do implicit linking (e.g.
Fedora 13 and later releases). The MD5 functions required for
metalink support must be pulled in from the openssl crypto library.
This is similar to commit c6e7cbb94e,
which fixes the same sort of problem for NSS builds.
The glob_range function used wrong offset (3 instead of 4) for parsing
integer step inside character range specification, which led to 'bad
range' error when using character ranges with explicitly specified step
(such as '[a-z:2]')
- Get rid of this flood of warnings in Windows mingw build:
warning: missing terminating " character
The warning is due to the carriage return. When msysgit checks out files
from the repo by default it converts the line endings to CRLF. Prior to
this change when mkhelp.pl processed the MANUAL and curl.1 in CRLF
format the trailing carriage returns caused unnecessary CR in the
output.
SSLeay was the name of the library that was subsequently turned into
OpenSSL many moons ago (1999). curl does not work with the old SSLeay
library since years. This is now reflected by only using USE_OPENSSL in
code that depends on OpenSSL.
As the 'error' and 'mute' options are now part of the GlobalConfig,
rather than per Operation, updated the warnf() function to use this
structure rather than the OperationConfig.
