The Microsoft knowledge-base article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823764 describes how to use SNDBUF to
overcome a performance shortcoming in winsock, but it doesn't apply to
Windows Vista and later versions. If the described SNDBUF magic is
applied when running on those more recent Windows versions, it seems to
instead have the reversed effect in many cases and thus make libcurl
perform less good on those systems.
This fix thus adds a run-time version-check that does the SNDBUF magic
conditionally depending if it is deemed necessary or not.

Remove timeout argument that's never used.
Make the actual connection get detected on a single spot to reduce code
duplication.
Store the IPv6 state already when the connection is attempted.
Remove internal separated behavior of the easy vs multi intercace.
curl_easy_perform() is now using the multi interface itself.
Several minor multi interface quirks and bugs have been fixed in the
process.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.

A bundle is a list of all persistent connections to the same host.
The connection cache consists of a hash of bundles, with the
hostname as the key.
The benefits may not be obvious, but they are two:
1) Faster search for connections to reuse, since the hash
lookup only finds connections to the host in question.
2) It lays out the groundworks for an upcoming patch,
which will introduce multiple HTTP pipelines.
This patch also removes the awkward list of "closure handles",
which were needed to send QUIT commands to the FTP server
when closing a connection.
Now we allocate a separate closure handle and use that
one to close all connections.
This has been tested in a live system for a few weeks, and of
course passes the test suite.
Fixed warning: dereferencing pointer does break strict-aliasing rules
by using a union instead of separate pointer variables.
Internal union sockaddr_u could probably be moved to generic header.
Thanks to Paul Howarth for the hint about using unions for this.
Important for winbuild: Separate declaration of sockaddr_u pointer.
The pointer variable *sock cannot be declared and initialized right
after the union declaration. Therefore it has to be a separate statement.
Commit 9109cdec11 brought this regression (shipped since 7.24.0).
The singleipconnect() function must not return an error if Curl_socket()
returns an error. It should then simply return OK and pass a SOCKET_BAD
back simply because that is how the user of this function expects it to
work and something else is not fine.
Reported by: Blaise Potard
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3516508
Curl_socket returns CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT when the opensocket callback
returns CURL_SOCKET_BAD. Previous return value CURLE_FAILED_INIT
conveys incorrect information to the user.
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.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-10/0066.html
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.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2011-08/0199.html
Reported by: Fabian Keil
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.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=3280739
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.

strange it hasn't hit us harder, but I won't persue into figuring out
exactly why.

This happened because the tftp code always uncondionally did a bind()
without caring if one already had been done and then it failed. I wrote a
test case (1009) to verify this, but it is a bit error-prone since it will
have to pick a fixed local port number and since the tests are run on so
many different hosts in different situations I add it in disabled state.
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETDATA to set a callback that allows an application to replace
the socket() call used by libcurl. It basically allows the app to change
address, protocol or whatever of the socket. (I also did some whitespace
indent/cleanups in lib/url.c which kind of hides some of these changes, sorry
for mixing those in.)
and allow reuse by multiple protocols. Several unused error codes were
removed. In all cases, macros were added to preserve source (and binary)
compatibility with the old names. These macros are subject to removal at
a future date, but probably not before 2009. An application can be
tested to see if it is using any obsolete code by compiling it with the
CURL_NO_OLDIES macro defined.

timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
