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.
For consistency, as we seem to have a bit of a mixed bag, changed all
instances of ipv4 and ipv6 in comments and documentations to use the
correct case.
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.

Commit fe0f8967bf fixed a problem with krb5 not being defined as a
supported feature when HAVE_GSSAPI is defined, however, it should
only be included if CURL_DISABLE_CRYPTO_AUTH is not set, like when
SPNEGO is listed as a feature.
By default, configure script assumes that libcurl will use the
HP-supplied GSS-API implementation which does not have krb5-config.
If a dev needs a more recent version which has that config script,
the change will allow to pass an appropriate GSSAPI_ROOT.
This is just fundamentally broken. SPNEGO (RFC4178) is a protocol which
allows client and server to negotiate the underlying mechanism which will
actually be used to authenticate. This is *often* Kerberos, and can also
be NTLM and other things. And to complicate matters, there are various
different OIDs which can be used to specify the Kerberos mechanism too.
A SPNEGO exchange will identify *which* GSSAPI mechanism is being used,
and will exchange GSSAPI tokens which are appropriate for that mechanism.
But this SPNEGO implementation just strips the incoming SPNEGO packet
and extracts the token, if any. And completely discards the information
about *which* mechanism is being used. Then we *assume* it was Kerberos,
and feed the token into gss_init_sec_context() with the default
mechanism (GSS_S_NO_OID for the mech_type argument).
Furthermore... broken as this code is, it was never even *used* for input
tokens anyway, because higher layers of curl would just bail out if the
server actually said anything *back* to us in the negotiation. We assume
that we send a single token to the server, and it accepts it. If the server
wants to continue the exchange (as is required for NTLM and for SPNEGO
to do anything useful), then curl was broken anyway.
So the only bit which actually did anything was the bit in
Curl_output_negotiate(), which always generates an *initial* SPNEGO
token saying "Hey, I support only the Kerberos mechanism and this is its
token".
You could have done that by manually just prefixing the Kerberos token
with the appropriate bytes, if you weren't going to do any proper SPNEGO
handling. There's no need for the FBOpenSSL library at all.
The sane way to do SPNEGO is just to *ask* the GSSAPI library to do
SPNEGO. That's what the 'mech_type' argument to gss_init_sec_context()
is for. And then it should all Just Work™.
That 'sane way' will be added in a subsequent patch, as will bug fixes
for our failure to handle any exchange other than a single outbound
token to the server which results in immediate success.
The old way using getpwuid could cause problems in programs that enable
reading from netrc files simultaneously in multiple threads.

We've announced this pending removal for a long time and we've
repeatedly asked if anyone would care or if anyone objects. Nobody has
objected. It has probably not even been working for a good while since
nobody has tested/used this code recently.
The stuff in krb4.h that was generic enough to be used by other sources
is now present in security.h
For libc variants without a spearate pthread lib (like bionic), try
using pthreads without the pthreads lib first and only if that fails try
the -lpthread linker flag.

1 - We don't use the results from the test and we never did. recvfrom()
is only used by the TFTP code and it has not caused any problems.
2 - the CURL_CHECK_FUNC_RECVFROM function is extremely slow
This function was only used twice, both in places where performance
isn't crucial (socks + if2ip). Removing the use of this function removes
the need to have our private version for systems without it == reduced
amount of code.
Also, in the SOCKS case it is clearly better to fail gracefully rather
than to truncate the results.
This work was triggered by a bug report on the strcal prototype in
strequal.h.
strlcat was added in commit db70cd28 in February 2001!

Some basic checks we make were placed early enough in generated
configure script when using autoconf 2.5X versions. Newer autoconf
versions expand these checks much further into the configure script,
rendering them useless. Using XC_CONFIGURE_PREAMBLE fixes placement
of early intended checks across all our autoconf supported versions.
Tested with:
buildconf: autoconf version 2.69
buildconf: autom4te version 2.69
buildconf: autoheader version 2.69
buildconf: automake version 1.13.1
buildconf: aclocal version 1.13.1
buildconf: libtool version 2.4
buildconf: GNU m4 version 1.4.16
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...

automake 1.13 errors if AM_CONFIG_HEADER is used in configure script.
automake 1.13 no longer autoupdates AM_CONFIG_HEADER to
AC_CONFIG_HEADERS, thing which automake has been doing since automake
version 1.7
Given that our first automake supported version is automake 1.7,
simply replacing AM_CONFIG_HEADER usage with AC_CONFIG_HEADERS seems
enough to yet support same automake versions.

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.
AIX sys/poll.h header file defines 'events' and 'revents' as C
preprocessor macros. Usage of these literals in libcurl's external
API was introduced in commit de24d7bd4c causing AIX build failures.
Appropriate inclusion of sys/poll.h by libcurl's external interface
fixes AIX build and usage issues while avoiding a SONAME bump.
Removing this option as it currently only functions to lure people into
wrongly using it and falsely believing that libcurl will work fine
without using nonblocking sockets internally - which leads to hard to
track or understand errors.
This needs another look from the configure experts. I tested that
it works so far with MinGW64 cross-compiler; libcurl builds and
links fine, but curl not yet ...
Allow NTLM authentication when building using SecureTransport (Darwin) for SSL.
This uses CommonCrypto, a cryptography library that ships with all versions of
iOS and Mac OS X. It's like OpenSSL's libcrypto, except that it's missing a few
less-common cyphers and doesn't have a big number data structure.
This option may be used to build curl/libcurl using SSL/TLS support provided
by MS windows system libraries. Option is mutually exclusive with any other
SSL library. Default value is --without-winssl.
--with-winssl option implies --with-sspi option.
Option meaningful only for Windows builds.
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.
This change adds experimental Metalink support to curl.
To enable Metalink support, run configure with --with-libmetalink.
To feed Metalink file to curl, use --metalink option like this:
$ curl -O --metalink foo.metalink
We use libmetalink to parse Metalink files.
It checks whether versioned symbols should be enabled before checking
whether it is possible (i.e. the linker supports --version-script) or
not. This avoids a useless warning when building cURL on a platform that
does not use GNU ld.
Moreover, it fixes broken indentation of this chunk of code.
NSS_InitContext() was introduced in NSS 3.12.5 and helps to prevent
collisions on NSS initialization/shutdown with other libraries.

configure script now provides conditional definitions for Makefile.am
that result in CURL_HIDDEN_SYMBOLS being defined by resulting makefiles
when appropriate.
Additionally, configure script option for symbol hiding control is now
named --enable-symbol-hiding --disable-symbol-hiding. While still valid,
old option name --enable-hidden-symbols --disable-hidden-symbols will
be deprecated in some future release.
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.
This allows building of libcurl on DOS using DJGPP 2.04 and Watt-32
sockets. I know there's already Makefile.djgpp, but I find this more
convenient since I'm used to using the ./configure script from other
platforms
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
When support for nettle was added in 64f328c787, I overlooked
the fact that AC_CHECK_LIB doesn't add the tested lib to LIBS
if the check succeeded, if a custom success code block was present.
(The previous version of the check had an empty block for
successful checks, adding the lib to LIBS implicitly.)
Therefore, explicitly add either nettle or gcrypt to LIBS, after
deciding which one to use. Even if they can be linked in
transitively, it is safer to actually link explicitly to them.
This fixes building with gnutls with linkers that don't allow
linking transitively, such as for windows.
Allow, at configure time, the production of versioned symbols. The
symbols will look like "CURL_<FLAVOUR>_<VERSION> <SYMBOL>", where
<FLAVOUR> represents the SSL flavour (e.g. OPENSSL, GNUTLS, NSS, ...),
<VERSION> is the major SONAME version and <SYMBOL> is the actual symbol
name. If no SSL library is enabled the symbols will be just
"CURL_<VERSION> <SYMBOL>".
If no SSLv2 was detected in OpenSSL by configure, then we enforce the
OPENSSL_NO_SSL2 define as it seems some people report it not being
defined properly in the OpenSSL headers.
configure.ac:1349: error: possibly undefined macro: PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR
Obviously this is not a problem with pkg-config 0.26 but older versions
seem to show this.
