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.
axTLS:
This will make the axTLS backend perform the RFC2818 checks, honoring
the VERIFYHOST setting similar to the OpenSSL backend.
Generic for OpenSSL and axTLS:
Move the hostcheck and cert_hostcheck functions from the lib/ssluse.c
files to make them genericly available for both the OpenSSL, axTLS and
other SSL backends. They are now in the new lib/hostcheck.c file.
CyaSSL:
CyaSSL now also has the RFC2818 checks enabled by default. There is a
limitation that the verifyhost can not be enabled exclusively on the
Subject CN field comparison. This SSL backend will thus behave like the
NSS and the GnuTLS (meaning: RFC2818 ok, or bust). In other words:
setting verifyhost to 0 or 1 will disable the Subject Alt Names checks
too.
Schannel:
Updated the schannel information messages: Split the IP address usage
message from the verifyhost setting and changed the message about
disabling SNI (Server Name Indication, used in HTTP virtual hosting)
into a message stating that the Subject Alternative Names checks are
being disabled when verifyhost is set to 0 or 1. As a side effect of
switching off the RFC2818 related servername checks with
SCH_CRED_NO_SERVERNAME_CHECK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923430.aspx) the SNI feature
is being disabled. This effect is not documented in MSDN, but Wireshark
output clearly shows the effect (details on the libcurl maillist).
PolarSSL:
Fix the prototype change in PolarSSL of ssl_set_session() and the move
of the peer_cert from the ssl_context to the ssl_session. Found this
change in the PolarSSL SVN between r1316 and r1317 where the
POLARSSL_VERSION_NUMBER was at 0x01010100. But to accommodate the Ubuntu
PolarSSL version 1.1.4 the check is to discriminate between lower then
PolarSSL version 1.2.0 and 1.2.0 and higher. Note: The PolarSSL SVN
trunk jumped from version 1.1.1 to 1.2.0.
Generic:
All the SSL backends are fixed and checked to work with the
ssl.verifyhost as a boolean, which is an internal API change.
Move the SMTP_AUTH constants into a separate header file in
preparation for adding SASL based authentication to POP3 as the two
protocols will need to share them.
For modularity purposes, huge chunks of NTLM existing code is transformed into
functions to allow future internal code reuse.
Resulting three new libcurl private functions:
- Curl_ntlm_create_type1_message()
- Curl_ntlm_create_type3_message()
- Curl_ntlm_decode_type2_message()
Changing static ntlm_sspi_cleanup() into non-static Curl_ntlm_sspi_cleanup()
This 'refactoring' has been prepared by previous commits to allow that this
specific one does not introduce any change to existing code. All existing
goodness and badness previous to this commit should remain the same once it is
applied, the only difference should be that existing code is moved into
functions.
Given the quite big portions of code being moved around, and the importance of
change traceability, this commit has been done in such a way that it is
possible to perform a three-way diff from initial http_ntlm.[ch] to resulting
http_ntlm.[ch] and curl_ntlm.[ch] to actually verify that no functional change
is introduced here.
Notice that Steve Holme has provided several patches, but these included this
refactoring along with 'extra' fixes. I really wanted this 'clean' refactoring
done first, in order to allow discussion or committing of 'extra' fixes on a
case by case basis, so, I had to bite the bullet ;-)
Comments, line adjustments, compiler warning fixes, whatever, may follow
afterwards.
gssapi.h is used as a header name by Heimdal-style GSSAPI so it would
conflict with a private header using that name, and while renaming the
header I figured we should name the .c file accordingly as well.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-07/0071.html
Reported by: Ben Greear
asyn-ares.c and asyn-thread.c are two separate backends that implement
the same (internal) async resolver API for libcurl to use. Backend is
specified at build time.
The internal resolver API is defined in asyn.h for asynch resolvers.
The new http_proxy.* files now host HTTP proxy specific code (500+ lines
moved out from http.c), and as a consequence there is a macro introduced
for the Curl_proxyCONNECT() function so that code can use it without
actually supporting proxy (or HTTP) in builds.
Added axTLS to autotool files and glue code to misc other files.
axtls.h maps SSL API functions, but may change.
axtls.c is just a stub file and will definitely change.
A shared library tests/libtest/.libs/lihostname.so is preloaded in NTLM
test-cases to override the system implementation of gethostname(). It
makes it possible to test the NTLM authentication for exact match, and
this way test the implementation of MD4 and DES.
If LD_PRELOAD doesn't work, a debug build willl also workk as debug
builds are now made to prefer a specific environment variable and will
then return that content as host name instead of the actual one.
Kamil wrote the bulk of this, Daniel Stenberg polished it.
When configured with '--without-ssl --with-nss', NTLM authentication
now uses NSS crypto library for MD5 and DES. For MD4 we have a local
implementation in that case. More details are available at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/603783
In order to get it working, curl_global_init() must be called with
CURL_GLOBAL_SSL or CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. That's necessary because NSS needs
to be initialized globally and we do so only when the NSS library is
actually required by protocol. The mentioned call of curl_global_init()
is responsible for creating of the initialization mutex.
There was also slightly changed the NSS initialization scenario, in
particular, loading of the NSS PEM module. It used to be loaded always
right after the NSS library was initialized. Now the library is
initialized as soon as any SSL or NTLM is required, while the PEM module
is prevented from being loaded until the SSL is actually required.
makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and in general being a
better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version is
detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used
instead of the old cruft
Code by Howard, minor cleanups by Daniel.
This is Hoi-Ho Chan's patch with some minor fixes by me. There
are some potential issues in this, but none worse than we can
sort out on the list and over time.
curl_easy_duphandle did not necessarily duplicate the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE
option. It only enabled the cookie engine in the destination handle if
data->cookies is not NULL (where data is the source handle). In case of a
newly initialized handle which just had the cookie support enabled by a
curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURL_COOKIEFILE, "")-call, handle->cookies was
still NULL because the setopt-call only appends the value to
data->change.cookielist, hence duplicating this handle would not have the
cookie engine switched on.
We also concluded that the slist-functionality would be suitable for being
put in its own module rather than simply hanging out in lib/sendf.c so I
created lib/slist.[ch] for them.
Curl_sspi_global_init() and Curl_sspi_global_cleanup() which previously were
named Curl_ntlm_global_init() and Curl_ntlm_global_cleanup() in http_ntlm.c
Also adjusted socks_sspi.c to remove the link-time dependency on the Windows
SSPI library using it now in the same way as it was done in http_ntlm.c.
CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE and CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_NEC to allow libcurl
to do GSS-style authentication with SOCKS5 proxies. The curl tool got the
options called --socks5-gssapi-service and --socks5-gssapi-nec to enable
these.
