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.

USE_NTLM would only be defined if: HTTP support was enabled, NTLM and
cryptography weren't disabled, and either a supporting cryptography
library or Windows SSPI was being compiled against.
This means it was not possible to build libcurl without HTTP support
and use NTLM for other protocols such as IMAP, POP3 and SMTP. Rather
than introduce a new SASL pre-processor definition, removed the HTTP
prerequisite just like USE_SPNEGO and USE_KRB5.
Note: Winbind support still needs to be dependent on CURL_DISABLE_HTTP
as it is only available to HTTP at present.
This bug dates back to August 2011 when I started to add support for
NTLM to SMTP.
When duplicating a handle, the data to post was duplicated using
strdup() when it could be binary and contain zeroes and it was not even
zero terminated! This caused read out of bounds crashes/segfaults.
Since the lib/strdup.c file no longer is easily shared with the curl
tool with this change, it now uses its own version instead.

Also, unify code for checking for CURLcode errors with:

Coverity CID 1202836. If the proxy environment variable returned an empty
string, it would be leaked. While an empty string is not really a proxy, other
logic in this function already allows a blank string to be returned so allow
that here to avoid the leak.
This was done to make sure NTLM state that is bound to a connection
doesn't survive and gets used for the subsequent request - but
disconnects can also be done to for example make room in the connection
cache and thus that connection is not strictly related to the easy
handle's current operation.
The http authentication state is still kept in the easy handle since all
http auth _except_ NTLM is connection independent and thus survive over
multiple connections.

Problem: if CURLOPT_FORBID_REUSE is set, requests using NTLM failed
since NTLM requires multiple requests that re-use the same connection
for the authentication to work
Solution: Ignore the forbid reuse flag in case the NTLM authentication
handshake is in progress, according to the NTLM state flag.
Fixed known bug #77.
The URL is not a property of the connection so it should not be freed in
the connection disconnect but in the Curl_close() that frees the easy
handle.

Bringing back the old functionality that was mistakenly removed when the
connection cache was remade. When creating a new connection, all the
existing ones are checked and those that are known to be dead get
disconnected for real and removed from the connection cache. It helps
the cache from holding on to very many stale connections and aids in
keeping down the number of system sockets in wait states.

When an error has been detected, skip the final forced call to the
progress callback by making sure to pass the current return code
variable in the Curl_done() call in the CURLM_STATE_DONE state.
This avoids the "extra" callback that could occur even if you returned
error from the progress callback.

The static connection counter caused a race condition. Moving the
connection id counter into conncache solves it, as well as simplifying
the related logic.
Make all code use connclose() and connkeep() when changing the "close
state" for a connection. These two macros take a string argument with an
explanation, and debug builds of curl will include that in the debug
output. Helps tracking connection re-use/close issues.
Depending on compiler line 3505 could generate the following warning or
error:
* warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code
* A declaration cannot appear after an executable statement in a block
* error C2275: 'size_t' : illegal use of this type as an expression
set.infilesize in this case was modified in several places, which could
lead to repeated requests using the same handle to get unintendent/wrong
consequences based on what the previous request did!
This makes the findprotocol() function work as intended so that libcurl
can properly be restricted to not support HTTP while still supporting
HTTPS - since the HTTPS handler previously set both the HTTP and HTTPS
bits in the protocol field.
This fixes --proto and --proto-redir for most SSL protocols.
This is done by adding a few new convenience defines that groups HTTP
and HTTPS, FTP and FTPS etc that should then be used when the code wants
to check for both protocols at once. PROTO_FAMILY_[protocol] style.

In addition to FTP, other connection based protocols such as IMAP, POP3,
SMTP, SCP, SFTP and LDAP require a new connection when different log-in
credentials are specified. Fixed the detection logic to include these
other protocols.

Port number zero is perfectly allowed to connect to. I moved to storing
the remote port number in an int so that -1 means undefined and 0-65535
can be used for legitimate port numbers.
When allowing NTLM, the re-use connection logic was too focused on
finding an existing NTLM connection to use and didn't properly allow
re-use of other ones. This made the logic not re-use perfectly re-usable
connections.
Added test case 1418 and 1419 to verify.

TODO: honor this option with GnuTLS and OpenSSL
Removed some of the infof() calls that were added with the recent
pipeline improvements but they're not useful to the vast majority of
readers and the pipelining seems to fundamentaly work - the debugging
outputs can easily be added there if debugging these functions is needed
again.
When the requested authentication bitmask includes NTLM, we cannot
re-use a connection for another username/password as we then risk
re-using NTLM (connection-based auth).
This has the unfortunate downside that if you include NTLM as a possible
auth, you cannot re-use connections for other usernames/passwords even
if NTLM doesn't end up the auth type used.

Following commit 0aafd77fa4, replaced the internal usage of
FORMAT_OFF_T and FORMAT_OFF_TU with the external versions that we
expect API programmers to use.
This negates the need for separate definitions which were subtly
different under different platforms/compilers.
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.
This patch adds a 200ms delay between the first and second address
family socket connection attempts.
It also iterates over IP addresses in the order returned by the
system, meaning most dual-stack systems will try IPv6 first.
Additionally, it refactors the connect code, removing most code that
handled synchronous connects. Since all sockets are now non-blocking,
the logic can be made simpler.
This patch invokes two socket connect()s nearly simultaneously, and
the socket that is first connected "wins" and is subsequently used for
the connection. The other is terminated.
There is a very slight IPv4 preference, in that if both sockets connect
simultaneously IPv4 is checked first and thus will win.
This is a regression since the switch to always-multi internally
c43127414d.
Test 1316 was modified since we now clearly call the Curl_client_write()
function when doing the LIST transfer part and then the
handler->protocol says FTP and ftpc.transfertype is 'A' which implies
text converting even though that the response is initially a HTTP
CONNECT response in this case.
Otherwise, the FTP protocol would unnecessarily hang 60 seconds if
aborted in the CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION callback.

Added the ability to specify an XOAUTH2 bearer token [RFC6750] via the
option CURLOPT_XOAUTH2_BEARER for authentication using RFC6749 "OAuth
2.0 Authorization Framework".
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
libcurl quietly truncates usernames, passwords, and options from
before an '@' sign in a URL to 255 (= MAX_CURL_PASSWORD_LENGTH - 1)
characters to fit in fixed-size buffers on the stack. Allocate a
buffer large enough to fit the parsed fields on the fly instead to
support longer passwords.
After this change, there are no more uses of MAX_CURL_OPTIONS_LENGTH
left, so stop defining that constant while at it. The hardcoded max
username and password length constants, on the other hand, are still
used in HTTP proxy credential handling (which this patch doesn't
touch).

Instead of nesting "if(success)" blocks and leaving the reader in
suspense about what happens in the !success case, deal with failure
cases early, usually with a simple goto to clean up and return from
the function.
No functional change intended. The main effect is to decrease the
indentation of this function slightly.
libcurl truncates usernames, passwords, and options set with
curl_easy_setopt to 255 (= MAX_CURL_PASSWORD_LENGTH - 1) characters.
This doesn't affect the return value from curl_easy_setopt(), so from
the caller's point of view, there is no sign anything strange has
happened, except that authentication fails.
For example:
# Prepare a long (300-char) password.
s=0123456789; s=$s$s$s$s$s$s$s$s$s$s; s=$s$s$s;
# Start a server.
nc -l -p 8888 | tee out & pid=$!
# Tell curl to pass the password to the server.
curl --user me:$s http://localhost:8888 & sleep 1; kill $pid
# Extract the password.
userpass=$(
awk '/Authorization: Basic/ {print $3}' <out |
tr -d '\r' |
base64 -d
)
password=${userpass#me:}
echo ${#password}
Expected result: 300
Actual result: 255
The fix is simple: allocate appropriately sized buffers on the heap
instead of trying to squeeze the provided values into fixed-size
on-stack buffers.

libcurl truncates usernames and passwords it reads from .netrc to
LOGINSIZE and PASSWORDSIZE (64) characters without any indication to
the user, to ensure the values returned from Curl_parsenetrc fit in a
caller-provided buffer.
Fix the interface by passing back dynamically allocated buffers
allocated to fit the user's input. The parser still relies on a
256-character buffer to read each line, though.
So now you can include an ~246-character password in your .netrc,
instead of the previous limit of 63 characters.

Instead of remembering before each "return" statement which temporary
allocations, if any, need to be freed, take care to set pointers to
NULL when no longer needed and use a goto to a common block to exit
the function and free all temporaries.
No functional change intended. Currently the only temporary buffer in
this function is "proxy" which is already correctly freed when
appropriate, but there will be more soon.
Moved Curl_easy_addmulti() from easy.c to multi.c, renamed it to
easy_addmulti and made it static.
Removed Curl_easy_initHandleData() and uses of it since it was emptied
in commit cdda92ab67b47d74a.
All protocol handler structs are now opaque (void *) in the
SessionHandle struct and moved in the request-specific sub-struct
'SingleRequest'. The intension is to keep the protocol specific
knowledge in their own dedicated source files [protocol].c etc.
There's some "leakage" where this policy is violated, to be addressed at
a later point in time.
1 - always allocate the struct in protocol->setup_connection. Some
protocol handlers had to get this function added.
2 - always free at the end of a request. This is also an attempt to keep
less memory in the handle after it is completed.
This is a regression as this logic used to work. It isn't clear when it
broke, but I'm assuming in 7.28.0 when we went all-multi internally.
This likely never worked with the multi interface. As the failed
connection is detected once the multi state has reached DO_MORE, the
Curl_do_more() function was now expanded somewhat so that the
ftp_do_more() function can request to go "back" to the previous state
when it makes another attempt - using PASV.
Added test case 1233 to verify this fix. It has the little issue that it
assumes no service is listening/accepting connections on port 1...

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.
