For compatibility with `fwrite`, the `CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION` callback
is passed two `size_t` parameters which, when multiplied, designate the
number of bytes of data passed in. In practice, CURL always sets the
first parameter (`size`) to 1.
This practice is also enshrined in documentation and cannot be changed
in future. The documentation states that the default callback is
`fwrite`, which means `fwrite` must be a suitable function for this
purpose. However, the documentation also states that the callback must
return the number of *bytes* it successfully handled, whereas ISO C
`fwrite` returns the number of items (each of size `size`) which it
wrote. The only way these numbers can be equal is if `size` is 1.
Since `size` is 1 and can never be changed in future anyway, document
that fact explicitly and let users rely on it.

Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2787
Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4758
This commit adds curl_multi_wakeup() which was previously in the TODO
list under the curl_multi_unblock name.
On some platforms and with some configurations this feature might not be
available or can fail, in these cases a new error code
(CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE) is returned from curl_multi_wakeup().
Fixes#4418Closes#4608
Prior to this change some users did not understand that the "request"
starts when the handle is added to the multi handle, or probably they
did not understand that some of those transfers may be queued and that
time is included in timeout.

... just say that limiting operations risk aborting otherwise fine
working transfers. If that means seconds, minutes or hours, we leave to
the user.

Closes#4469
CURLU_NO_AUTHORITY is intended for use with unknown schemes (i.e. not
"file:///") to override cURL's default demand that an authority exists.
Closes#4349
For a long time (since 7.28.1) we've returned error when setting the
value to 1 to make applications notice that we stopped supported the old
behavior for 1. Starting now, we treat 1 and 2 exactly the same.
Closes#4241
RFC 7838 section 5:
When using an alternative service, clients SHOULD include an Alt-Used
header field in all requests.
Removed CURLALTSVC_ALTUSED again (feature is still EXPERIMENTAL thus
this is deemed ok).
You can disable sending this header just like you disable any other HTTP
header in libcurl.
Closes#4199
Even though it cannot fall-back to a lower HTTP version automatically. The
safer way to upgrade remains via CURLOPT_ALTSVC.
CURLOPT_H3 no longer has any bits that do anything and might be removed
before we remove the experimental label.
Updated the curl tool accordingly to use "--http3".
Closes#4197
This is only the libcurl part that provides the information. There's no
user of the parsed value. This change includes three new tests for the
parser.
Ref: #3794
Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation
identity (authzid), the identity to act as, in addition to the
authentication identity (authcid) and password when using SASL PLAIN
authentication.
Fixes#3653Closes#3790
NOTE: This commit was cherry-picked and is part of a series of commits
that added the authzid feature for upcoming 7.66.0. The series was
temporarily reverted in db8ec1f so that it would not ship in a 7.65.x
patch release.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4186
Repeatedly we see problems where using curl_multi_wait() is difficult or
just awkward because if it has no file descriptor to wait for
internally, it returns immediately and leaves it to the caller to wait
for a small amount of time in order to avoid occasional busy-looping.
This is often missed or misunderstood, leading to underperforming
applications.
This change introduces curl_multi_poll() as a replacement drop-in
function that accepts the exact same set of arguments. This function
works identically to curl_multi_wait() - EXCEPT - for the case when
there's nothing to wait for internally, as then this function will by
itself wait for a "suitable" short time before it returns. This
effectiely avoids all risks of busy-looping and should also make it less
likely that apps "over-wait".
This also changes the curl tool to use this funtion internally when
doing parallel transfers and changes curl_easy_perform() to use it
internally.
Closes#4163
As the plan has been laid out in DEPRECATED. Update docs accordingly and
verify in test 1174. Now requires the option to be set to allow HTTP/0.9
responses.
Closes#4191
If using the read callback for HTTP_POST, and POSTFIELDSIZE is not set,
automatically add a Transfer-Encoding: chunked header, same as it is
already done for HTTP_PUT, HTTP_POST_FORM and HTTP_POST_MIME. Update
test 1514 according to the new behaviour.
Closes#4138
