When using only 1 second precision, curl doesn't create new cnonce
values quickly enough for all uses.
For example, issuing the following command multiple times to a recent
Tomcat causes authentication failures:
curl --digest -utest:test http://tomcat.test.com:8080/manager/list
This is because curl uses the same cnonce for several seconds, but
doesn't increment the nonce counter. Tomcat correctly interprets
this as a replay attack and rejects the request.
When microsecond-precision is available, this commit causes curl to
change cnonce values much more frequently.
With microsecond resolution, increasing the nounce length used in the
headers to 32 was made to further reduce the risk of duplication.
Previous interfaces for these libcurl internal functions did not allow to tell
apart a legitimate zero size result from an error condition. These functions
now return a CURLcode indicating function success or otherwise specific error.
Output size is returned using a pointer argument.
All usage of these two functions, and others closely related, has been adapted
to the new interfaces. Relative error and OOM handling adapted or added where
missing. Unit test 1302 also adapted.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2535504) pointing out that realms with
quoted quotation marks in HTTP Digest headers didn't work. I've now added
test case 1095 that verifies my fix.
there are servers "out there" that relies on the client doing this broken
Digest authentication. Apache even comes with an option to work with such
broken clients.
The difference is only for URLs that contain a query-part (a '?'-letter and
text to the right of it).
libcurl now supports this quirk, and you enable it by setting the
CURLAUTH_DIGEST_IE bit in the bitmask you pass to the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH or
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH options. They are thus individually controlled to server
and proxy.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2154627) which pointed out that libcurl
uses strcasecmp() in multiple places where it causes failures when the
Turkish locale is used. This is because 'i' and 'I' isn't the same letter so
strcasecmp() on those letters are different in Turkish than in English (or
just about all other languages). I thus introduced a totally new internal
function in libcurl (called Curl_ascii_equal) for doing case insentive
comparisons for english-(ascii?) style strings that thus will make "file"
and "FILE" match even if the Turkish locale is selected.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1868255) with a patch. It identifies
and fixes a problem with parsing WWW-Authenticate: headers with additional
spaces in the line that the parser wasn't written to deal with.
non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more
#ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can
add it without the extra stuff added.
could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.
We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.
