This adds three new options to control the behavior of TCP keepalives:
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE: enable/disable probes
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE: idle time before sending first probe
- CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL: delay between successive probes
While not all operating systems support the TCP_KEEPIDLE and
TCP_KEEPINTVL knobs, the library will still allow these options to be
set by clients, silently ignoring the values.
When connecting to a domain with multiple IP addresses, allow different,
decreasing connection timeout values. This should guarantee some
connections attempts with sufficiently long timeouts, while still
providing fallback.
First off the timeout for accepting a server connect back must of course
respect a global timeout. Then the timeleft function is only used by ftp
code so it was moved to ftp.c and made static.
1- Two new error codes are introduced.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_FAILED to be set whenever ACCEPTing fails because of
FTP server connected.
CURLE_FTP_ACCEPT_TIMEOUT to be set whenever ACCEPTing timeouts.
Neither of these errors are considered fatal and control connection
remains OK because it could just be a firewall blocking server to
connect to the client.
2- One new setopt option was introduced.
CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS
It sets the maximum amount of time FTP client is going to wait for a
server to connect. Internal default accept timeout is 60 seconds.
Do not try to resolve interfaces names via DNS by recognizing interface
names in a few ways. If the interface option argument has a prefix of
"if!" then treat the argument as only an interface. Similarly, if the
interface argument is the name of an interface (even if it does not have
an IP address assigned), treat it as an interface name. Finally, if the
interface argument is prefixed by "host!" treat it as a hostname that
must be resolved by /etc/hosts or DNS.
These changes allow a client using the multi interfaces to avoid
blocking on name resolution if the interface loses its IP address or
disappears.
Keep track of which sockets that are the result of accept() calls and
refuse to call the closesocket callback for those sockets. Test case 596
now verifies that the open socket callback is called the same number of
times as the closed socket callback for active FTP connections.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-12/0018.html
Reported by: Gokhan Sengun
When the new socket is created for an active connection, it is now done
using the open socket callback.
Test case 596 was modified to run fine, although it hides the fact that
the close callback is still called too many times, as it also gets
called for closing sockets that were created with accept().
Previously the bit was set before the connection was found working so if
it would first fail to an ipv6 address and then connect fine to a IPv4
address the variable would still be TRUE.

Save the errno value immediately after a connect() failure so that it
won't get reset to something else before we read it.

Reported by: Frank Van Uffelen and Fabian Hiernaux
Renamed the variable from 'proto' to 'level' simply because it is not
protocol you set but level and that is the name of the argument used in
man pages and the POSIX documentation of the setsockopt function.
When using the multi interface, a SOCKS proxy, and a connection that
wouldn't immediately consider itself connected (which my Linux tests do
by default), libcurl would be tricked into doing _two_ connects to the
SOCKS proxy when it setup the data connection and then of course the
second attempt would fail miserably and cause error.
This problem is a regression that was introduced by commit
4a42e5cdaa that was introduced in the 7.21.7 release.

Introduced the initial setup to allow closesocket callbacks by making
sure sclose() is only ever called from one place in the libcurl source
and still run all test cases fine.
When connecting to a socks or similar proxy we do the proxy handshake at
once when we know the TCP connect is completed and we only consider the
"connection" complete after the proxy handshake. This fixes test 564
which is now no longer considered disabled.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-04/0127.html
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.
When checking if an existing RTSP connection is alive or not, the
checkconnection function might be called with a SessionHandle pointer
being NULL and then referenced causing a crash. This happened only using
the multi interface.

Introducing a few CURL_SOCKOPT* defines for conveniance. The new
CURL_SOCKOPT_ALREADY_CONNECTED signals to libcurl that the socket is to
be treated as already connected and thus it will skip the connect()
call.
When the callback returns an error, this function must make sure to return
CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK properly and not CURLE_OK as before to allow the
callback to properly abort the operation.
The idea that the protocol and socktype is part of name resolving in the
libc functions is nuts. We keep the name resolver functions assume
TCP/STREAM and we make sure that when we want to connect to a UDP
service we use the correct UDP/DGRAM set instead. This bug was because
the ->protocol field was not always set correctly.
This bug was only affecting ipv6-disabled non-cares non-threaded builds.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3154436
Reported by: "dperham"
When using the multi interface and connecting to a host name that
resolves to multiple IP addresses, there was no logic that made it
continue to the next IP if connecting to the first address times
out. This is now corrected.
The IP version choice was previously only in the UserDefined struct
within the SessionHandle, but since we sometimes alter that option
during a request we need to have it on a per-connection basis.
I also moved more "init conn" code into the allocate_conn() function
which is designed for that purpose more or less.
As this function uses return code 0 to mean that there is no timeout, it
needs to check that it doesn't return a time left value that is exactly
zero. It could lead to libcurl doing an extra 1000 ms select() call and
thus not timing out as accurately as it should.
I fell over this bug when working on the bug 3061535 but this fix does
not correct that problem alone, although this is a problem that needs to
be fixed.
Reported by: Rodric Glaser
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3061535
The timeout is set for the connect phase already at the start of the
request so we should not add a new one, and we MUST not set expire to 0
as that will remove any other potentially existing timeouts.
Curl_getconnectinfo() is changed to return a proper curl_socket_t for
the last socket so that it'll work more portably (and cause less
compiler warnings).
When the progress callback is called during the TCP connection, an error
return would accidentally not abort the operation as intended but would
instead be counted as a failure to connect to that particular IP and
libcurl would just continue to try the next. I made singleipconnect()
and trynextip() return CURLcode properly.
Added bonus: it corrected the error code for bad --interface usages,
like tested in test 1084 and test 1085.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2010-08/0105.html
When a hostname resolves to multiple IP addresses and the first one
tried doesn't work, the socket for the second attempt may get dropped on
the floor, causing the request to eventually time out. The issue is that
when using kqueue (as on mac and bsd platforms) instead of select, the
kernel removes the first fd from kqueue when it is closed (in trynextip,
connect.c:503). Trynextip() then goes on to open a new socket, which
gets assigned the same number as the one it just closed. Later in
multi.c, socket_cb is not called because the fd is already in
multi->sockhash, so the new socket is never added to kqueue.
The correct fix is to ensure that socket_cb is called to remove the fd
when trynextip() closes the socket, and again to re-add it after
singleipsocket(). I'm not sure how to cleanly do that, but the attached
patch works around the problem in an admittedly kludgy way by delaying
the close to ensure that the newly-opened socket gets a different fd.
Daniel's added comment: I didn't spot a way to easily do a nicer fix so
I've proceeded with Ben's patch.

Patch by: Ben Darnell
Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.
Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
itself using the local test suite though.
The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
TIMER_CONNECT time. That situation is subject for some closer
inspection in the future.
Kenny To filed the bug report #2963679 with patch to fix a
problem he experienced with doing multi interface HTTP POST over
a proxy using PROXYTUNNEL. He found a case where it would connect
fine but bits.tcpconnect was not set correct so libcurl didn't
work properly.

(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2870221) that libcurl returned an
incorrect return code from the internal trynextip() function which caused
him grief. This is a regression that was introduced in 7.19.1 and I find it
strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
exactly why.

CURL_WRITE_SIZE. This should help folks who have set up their computer with
