Jason McDonald posted bug report #3006786 when he found that the
SFTP code didn't timeout properly in several places in the code
even if a timeout was set properly.
Based on his suggested patch, I wrote a different implementation
that I think addressed the issue better and also uses the connect
timeout for the initial part of the SSH/SFTP done during the
"protocol connect" phase.

Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and
using timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with
libcurl's use of GetTickCount() interally to figure out the
current time, while Igor's own application code used another
function call.
It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit
_before_ libcurl would consider the timeout to trigger, and that
could easily lead to timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems
GetTickCount() in general often has no better resolution than
16ms and switching to the alternative function
QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:

We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers
that already has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for
treatment. I'm confident that there are other implementations and
operating systems with similarly in accurate timer functions so
it makes sense to have applied generically and I don't believe we
sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these timeouts.

bool in curl internals is unsigned char and should not be used
to receive return value from functions returning int - this fails
when using IBM VisualAge and Tru64 compilers.
Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the
correct timeout option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th
2010) it became obvious that libcurl used invalid timeout values
(300 by default while the RFC allows nothing above 255). While of
course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked thus far without
being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep
it (but fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier
(future) customization of the timeout.

In a normal expression, doing [unsigned short] + 1 will not wrap
at 16 bits so the comparisons and outputs were done wrong. I
added a macro do make sure it gets done right.

Eric Mertens posted bug report #3003005 pointing out that the
libcurl TFTP code was not sending the timeout option properly to
the server, and suggested a fix.

John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with
an associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine
when the multi interface is used:
Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using
select or epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears
that the cause is the fix for bug #2958179, which makes
ossl_connect_common unconditionally return from the step 2 loop
when fetching from a multi handle.
When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates
connssl->connecting_state to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common
will then return to the caller, as a multi handle is in
use. Eventually, the client code will call curl_multi_fdset to
obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the
connecting_state is ssl_connect_2_reading or
ssl_connect_2_writing. Therefore, the client will never obtain a
valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting in a
hang.

Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with
redirect following. It showed that when curl followed redirects
it didn't properly ignore the response body of the 30X response
if that response was using compressed Content-Encoding!

FTP(S) use two connections that can be set to different recv and
send functions independently, so by introducing recv+send pairs
in the same manner we already have sockets/connections we can
work with FTPS fine.
This commit fixes the FTPS regression introduced in change d64bd82.
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.
Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly
moves out the sending and recving of data to the parts of the
code that are properly responsible for the various ways of doing
so.
Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some
minor flaws in the original patch.
Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less
with the "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more
consistently.
This is Hoi-Ho Chan's patch with some minor fixes by me. There
are some potential issues in this, but none worse than we can
sort out on the list and over time.
The main change is to allow input from user-specified methods,
when they are specified with CURLOPT_READFUNCTION.
All calls to fflush(stdout) in telnet.c were removed, which makes
using 'curl telnet://foo.com' painful since prompts and other data
are not always returned to the user promptly. Use
'curl --no-buffer telnet://foo.com' instead. In general,
the user should have their CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION do a fflush
for interactive use.
Also fix assumption that reading from stdin never returns < 0.
Old code could crash in that case.
Call progress functions in telnet main loop.

Make sure we don't call memcpy() if the argument is NULL even
though we also passed a zero length then, as the clang analyzer
whined and we want to limit warnings (even false positives) when
they're this easy to fix.
The change of (char) to (unsigned char) will fix long user names
and passwords on systems that have the char type signed by
default.
The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made this treat a
zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this
caused our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer
code to detect if an EOF is a problem or not.
This code would previously use dns_entry->addr->ai_canonname
instead of the given host name, which caused us grief and
problems since not all our resolver options do the reverse lookup
and I would also guess that it caused problems with KRB5/GSS with
virtual name-based hosts. Now the host name from the URL is used.
As reported in bug report #2987196, the code for ipv6 already did
the setting of this bit correctly so we copied that logic into
the Curl_ipv4_resolve_r() function as well. KRB code is the only
code we know that might need the cannonical name so only resolve
it for such requests!
Prefixing the FTP quote commands with an asterisk really only
worked for the postquote actions. This is now fixed and test case
227 has been extended to verify.
Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the
code treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as
EAGAIN while in reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in
SFTP transfers from a MessageWay server.
strlen() returns size_t, but ssh libraries are wanting 'unsigned int'. Add
explicit casts and use _ex versions of the ssh library calls.

If you pass a URL to pop3 that does not contain a message ID as
part of the URL, it will currently ask for 'INBOX' which just
causes the pop3 server to return an error.
The change makes libcurl treat en empty message ID as a request
for LIST (list of pop3 message IDs). User's code could then
parse this and download individual messages as desired.
Ben Greear brought a patch that from now on allows all protocols
to specify name and user within the URL, in the same manner HTTP
and FTP have been allowed to in the past - although far from all
of the libcurl supported protocols actually have that feature in
their URL definition spec.
Bob Richmond: There's an annoying situation where libcurl will
read new HTTP response data from a socket, then check if it's a
timeout if one is set. If the last packet received constitutes
the end of the response body, libcurl still treats it as a
timeout condition and reports a message like:
"Operation timed out after 3000 milliseconds with 876 out of 876
bytes received"
It should only a timeout if the timer lapsed and we DIDN'T
receive the end of the response body yet.
This commit fixes the cmake build of curl, and cleans up the
cmake code a little. It removes some commented out code and
some trailing whitespace. To get curl to build the binary
tree include/curl directory needed to be added to the include
path. Also, SIZEOF_SHORT needed to be added. A check for the
lack of defines of SIZEOF_* for warnless.c was added.
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.

Akos Pasztory filed debian bug report #572276http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=572276
mentioning a problem with a resource that returns chunked-encoded
_and_ with a Content-Length and libcurl failed to properly ignore
the latter information.
Hauke Duden provided an example program that made the multi
interface crash. His example simply used the multi interface and
did first one FTP transfer and after completion it used a second
easy handle and did another FTP transfer on the same FTP server.
This triggered a bug in the "delayed easy handle kill" system
that curl uses: when an FTP connection is left alive it must keep
an easy handle around internally - only for the purpose of having
an easy handle when it later disconnects it. The code assumed
that when the easy handle was removed and an internal reference
was made, that version could be killed later on when a new easy
handle came using the same connection. This was wrong as Hauke's
example showed that the removed handle wasn't killed for real
until later. This caused a double close attempt => segfault.
Looking at the code of Curl_resolv_timeout() in hostip.c, I think
that in case of a timeout, the signal handler for SIGALRM never
gets removed. I think that in my case it gets executed at some
point later on when execution has long left Curl_resolv_timeout()
or even the cURL library.
The code that is jumped to with siglongjmp() simply sets the
error message to "name lookup timed out" and then returns with
CURLRESOLV_ERROR. I guess that instead of simply returning
without cleaning up, the code should have a goto that jumps to
the spot right after the call to Curl_resolv().
Error codes were not properly returned to the main curl code (and on to apps
using libcurl).
tftp was crapping out when tsize == 0 on upload, but I see no reason to fail
to upload just because the remote file is zero-length. Ignore tsize option on
upload.
