Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.
See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
No more use exit(3) but instead tell libcurl that no byte has been
written to let it return a `CURLE_WRITE_ERROR`. In addition, check
curl easy handle return code.
Updated the POP3 sub-section to refer to message ID rather than mailbox.
Added an IMAP sub-section with example URLs depicting the specification
of mailbox, uid and section.
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options.
* Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to
'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such.
* Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for
curl_easy_setopt().
* Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'.
* Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT.
* Adds some missing periods.
* Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to
free().
* Adds several links to documentation of library functions which were
missing.
* Marks documentation of deprecated library functions "(deprecated)".
* Removes spurious .html suffixes.
Schannel and darwinssl use the certificates built into the
OS to do vert verification instead of bundles. darwinssl
is thread-safe. Corrected typos in the NSS docs.
VC6 is _very_ old and we provide working makefiles even for that
compiler. Users who build with the IDE never use that method and project
file anyway and it was just lingering in the root dir.
Added IDN and HTTP data compression as they were left out of the
document until now.
Added notes for qssl, schannel and Secure Transport supporting SSLv2,
Secure Transport supports NTLM, and axTLS does not support SSLv3.
There was also a typo; "AUTH TSL" should be "AUTH TLS".
- document the double-quote and backslash need be escaped if quoting.
- libcurl formdata escape double-quote in filename by backslash.
- curl formparse can parse filename both contains '"' and ',' or ';'.
- curl now can uploading file with ',' or ';' in filename.

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.
I ran the 2.59 version of autoupdate that updates obsoleted configure.ac
constructs to the 2.59 standard. With a little hands-on fiddling I
prevented it from ruining the quoting in AS_HELP_STRING() uses.
I subsequently also bumped the required autoconf version to 2.59
(released in December 2003) as I don't have an older autoconf version
around to test with and I can't be bothered to install one either...

BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
Blocking connect on the socket has been removed from opensocket
callback. opensocket just opens a new socket and gives it back to
libcurl and libcurl will take care of the connect. sockopt_callback has
also been removed, as it is no longer required.
After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source
codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and
will make libcurl return error for it.
1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced
back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly
this way.
1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup
makes the treatment of it unified.
The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and
while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has
decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so
they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this
particular option. I sympathize with that position.

Since automake 1.12.4, the warnings are issued on running automake:
warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Avoid INCLUDES and roll these flags into AM_CPPFLAGS.

This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark
Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally
call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for
that specified time.

The test would hang and get aborted with a "ABORTING TEST, since it
seems that it would have run forever." until I prevented that from
happening.
I also fixed the data file which got broken CRLF line endings when I
sucked down the path from Joe's repo == my fault.
Removed #37 from KNOWN_BUGS as this fix and test case verifies exactly
this.
"Currently you can only share DNS and/or COOKIE data" is incorrect since
also SSL sessions can be shared.

It's conceivable that after the first time curl_multi_perform returns,
the outvalue still_running will be 0, but work will have been done. This
is shown by a workload of small, purely file:// based URLs. Ensure that
we always read pending messages off the multi handle by forcing the
while loop to run at least once.
Removed APOP and SASL authentication from the POP3 section and metalink
support from the client section as these features were implemented in
this release.
Moved adding gssapi to SASL into it's own section rather than repeat it
for each protocol.
Documented that --include will be ignored if both --metalink
and --include are specified.
Also documented that a Metalink file in the local file system
cannot be used if FILE protocol is disabled.
Version number is removed in order to make this info consistent with
how we do it with other MS and Linux system libraries for which we don't
provide this info.
Identifier changed from 'WinSSPI' to 'schannel' given that this is the
actual provider of the SSL/TLS support. libcurl can still be built with
SSPI and without SCHANNEL support.
- For all *FUNCTION options, they now all show the complete prototype in
the description. Previously some of them would just refer to a
typedef'ed function pointer in the curl.h header.
- I made the phrasing of that "Pass a pointer to a function that matches
the following prototype" the same for all *FUNCTION option descriptions.
- I removed some uses of 'should'. I think I sometimes over-use this
word as in many places I actually mean MUST or otherwise more specific
and not-so-optional synonyms.
Added new sections 11. IMAP and 12. LDAP to document adding SASL based
authentication.
Renumbered current sections 11 to 17 as 13 to 19.
Additionally added 19.10 Add CURLOPT_MAIL_CLIENT option.
Setting bit 2 for this value was documented as having a constant value
defined as CURL_REDIR_POST_303 yet referenced a 302 request.
Additionally corrected the meaning of CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL for all three
bits and fixed problems with the bolding of keywords in this section.
Standardised how RFCs are referenced so that the website may autolink to
the correct documentation on ietf.org. Additionally removed the one link
to RFC3986 on curl.haxx.se.
The curl-config command must be used twice in the single command line to
work properly in some environments.

BUILDING_LIBCURL and CURL_STATICLIB are no longer defined in curl_config.h,
configure will generate appropriate conditionals so that mentioned symbols
get defined and used in Makefiles at compilation time
Configuration files such as curl_config.h and all config-*.h no longer exist
nor are generated/copied into 'src' directory, now these only exist in 'lib'
directory from where curl tool sources uses them.
Additionally old src/setup.h has been refactored into src/tool_setup.h which
now pulls lib/setup.h
The possibility of a makefile needing an include path adjustment exists.
By modifying the parameter list for ourWriteOut() and passing the
OutStruct that collects data in tool_operate, we get access to the
remote name that we're writing to. Shell scripters should find this
useful when used in conjuntion with the --remote-header-name option.
If an empty string is passed to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE, libcurl will
pass no public key to libssh2 which then tries to compute it from the
private key. This is known to work when libssh2 1.4.0+ is linked against
OpenSSL.
Original wording could lead users in thinking it tries to
somehow parse the filename for a date expression (like
news_2012_03_05.html). It never mentions that it actually
reads the mtime of the file in filesystem.
Set the conn->data->info.httpcode variable in smtp_statemach_act() to
allow Curl_getinfo() to return the SMTP response code via the
CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE action.
Added information relating to the new CURLOPT_MAIL_AUTH parameter and
reworked CURLOPT_MAIL_FROM and CURLOPT_MAIL_RCPT to be a clearer.
Fixed inconsistencies of "vocalisation of the abbreviation" versus
"vocalisation of the first word" for all abbreviations.
Corrected a typo in CURLOPT_NOPROXY.
Modify configure.ac to test for new CyaSSL Init function and remove
default install path to system. Change to CyaSSL OpenSSL header and
proper Init in code as well.
Note that this no longer detects or works with CyaSSL before v2
This new option tells curl to not work around a security flaw in the
SSL3 and TLS1.0 protocols. It uses the new libcurl option
CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS with the CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST bit set.
Allow an appliction to set libcurl specific SSL options. The first and
only options supported right now is CURLSSLOPT_ALLOW_BEAST.
It will make libcurl to disable any work-arounds the underlying SSL
library may have to address a known security flaw in the SSL3 and TLS1.0
protocol versions.
This is a reaction to us unconditionally removing that behavior after
this security advisory:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20120124B.html
... it did however cause a lot of programs to fail because of old
servers not liking this work-around. Now programs can opt to decrease
the security in order to interoperate with old servers better.
Use the new library CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPALIVE rather than disabling this via
the sockopt callback. If --keepalive-time is used, apply the value to
CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPIDLE and CURLOPT_TCP_KEEPINTVL.
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.
As is pointed out in this bug report, there can indeed be situation
where --stderr has a point even when the "real" stderr can be
redirected. Remove the superfluous and wrong comment.

These examples show how to fetch a single message (RETR command) and how to
list all the messages in a given mailbox (LIST command), with authentication
via SSL.
They were both based on the https.c example.
The INTERNALS document suggested that compatibility should be
maintained with perl version 4, but this was untrue - scripts such as
chksource.pl and runtests.pl use perl5-isms.
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.
Parameters were underquoted, resulting in
