A simple function to test whether the PP is not sending and there are
still more data in its receiver cache. This will be later utilized to:
1) Change Curl_pp_multi_statemach() and Curl_pp_easy_statemach() to
not test socket state and just call user's statemach_act() function
when there are more data to process, because otherwise the task would
just hang, waiting for more data from the socket.
2) Allow PP users to read multiple responses by looping as long as there
are more data available and current phase is not finished.
(Currently needed for correct processing of IMAP SELECT responses.)
The attempt to use gai_strerror() or alternative function didn't work as
the 'sock_error' field didn't contain the proper error code. But since
this hasn't been reported and thus isn't really a big deal I decided to
just scrap the whole attempt to output the detailed resolver error and
instead remain with just stating that the resolving of the name failed.
It seems older gcc installations (at least) will cause warnings if we
name a variable 'wait'. Now changed to 'block' instead.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-02/0247.html
Apple made a number of changes to Xcode 4. The SDKs were moved, the entire
Developer folder was moved, and PowerPC support was removed. The script
will now adapt to those changes and should be future-proofed against
additional changes in case Apple moves the Developer folder ever again.
Also, the minimum OS X version compiler option was removed, so that the
framework can be built against the latest SDK but still run in older cats.
... since they're not used by the easy interface really, I wanted to
remove the association. Also, I unified the pingpong statemachine driver
into a single function with a 'wait' argument: Curl_pp_statemach.
A call to Curl_ssl_connect() was accidentally left in when the SSL/TLS
connection layer was reworked in 7.29. Not only would this cause the
connection to block but had the additional overhead of calling the
non-blocking connect a little bit later.
This function was only used twice, both in places where performance
isn't crucial (socks + if2ip). Removing the use of this function removes
the need to have our private version for systems without it == reduced
amount of code.
Also, in the SOCKS case it is clearly better to fail gracefully rather
than to truncate the results.
This work was triggered by a bug report on the strcal prototype in
strequal.h.
strlcat was added in commit db70cd28 in February 2001!

Reported by: Saran Neti
An ambiguity in the SSLWrite() documentation lead to a bad inference in the
code where we assumed SSLWrite() returned the amount of bytes written to
the socket, when that is not actually true; it returns the amount of data
that is buffered for writing to the socket if it returns errSSLWouldBlock.
Now darwinssl_send() returns CURLE_AGAIN if data is buffered but not written.
Reference URL: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-02/0145.html
Reworked the pp->endofresp() function so that the conndata, line and
line length are passed down to it just as with Curl_client_write()
rather than each implementation of the function having to query
these values.
Additionally changed the int return type to bool as this is more
representative of the function's usage.
Corrected the order of the upgrade_tls() functions and moved the handler
upgrade and getsock() functions out from the middle of the state related
functions.
Corrected the order of the pop3_state_capa() / imap_state_capability()
and the pop3_state_capa_resp() / imap_state_capability_resp() functions
to match the execution order.
Added honoring of the tls_supported flag when starting a TLS upgrade
rather than unconditionally attempting it. If the use_ssl flag is set
to CURLUSESSL_TRY and the server doesn't support TLS upgrades then the
connection will continue to authenticate. If this flag is set to
CURLUSESSL_ALL then the connection will complete with a failure as it
did previously.

Added sending of initial CAPABILITY command before STARTTLS is sent.
This allows for the detection of the capability before trying to

Follow up fix to commit 62bd217464 to cater for servers that don't
respond with a 250 in their EHLO responses. Additionally updated the
SMTP tests to respond with a 250 response code as per RFC5321.
Fixed the SASL capability detection to include the space character
before the authentication mechanism list. Otherwise a capability such
as SASLSOMETHING would be interpreted as enabling SASL and potentially
trying to identify SOMETHING as a mechanism.
Previously if a problem was found with one of the server's certificates,
we'd log an OSStatus for the end user to look up. Now we explain what
was wrong with the site's certificate chain. Also un-did part of the
previous commit where the code wouldn't catch errSSLServerAuthCompleted
if built under Leopard.
Fixed a small issue where smtp_endofresp() would look for capabilities
in the description part of a failure response. In theory a server
shouldn't respond with SIZE or AUTH in an EHLO command's failure
response but if it did then capabilities would be unnecessarily set
before eventually failing.
Renamed the authstate1 and authstate2 variables in imap_authenticate()
as the old name was a left over from when there was only one state
variable which was named due to a clash with the state() function.
Additionally this provides consistency with the smtp module.

(my domlen == 0).
'dup_domain.tbyte_ptr' looks to be freed in Curl_ntlm_sspi_cleanup() via
'ntlm->identity.Domain'. But I see no freeing of 'dup_domain.tchar_ptr'.
This bug report properly identified that when doing SMTP and aborting
the transfer with a callback, it must be considered aborted prematurely
by the code to avoid QUIT etc to be attempted as that would cause a
hang.
The new test case 1507 verifies this behavior.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1184
It turns out that Leopard (OS X 10.5) doesn't have constants for the ECDH
ciphers in its headers, so the cases for them have been taken out of the
build when building under Leopard. Also added a standard function for
getting a string description of a SecCertificateRef.
Changed the SMTP_AUTH_PASSWD state constant to SMTP_AUTH_LOGIN_PASSWD to
better describe the state as the second part of an AUTH LOGIN command,
as well as for consistency with the imap and pop3 modules.
Introduced detection of the SASL-IR capability, in order to add support
for sending the initial response with the AUTHENTICATE command, as per
RFC4959.
Updated the automatic response tag generation to follow the examples
given in RC3501, which list a 4 character string such as A001, A002,
etc.
As a unique identifier should be generated for each command the string
generation is based on the connection id and the incrementing command
id.
When negotiating SASL DIGEST-MD5 authentication, the function
Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message() uses the data provided from the
server without doing the proper length checks and that data is then
appended to a local fixed-size buffer on the stack.
This vulnerability can be exploited by someone who is in control of a
server that a libcurl based program is accessing with POP3, SMTP or
IMAP. For applications that accept user provided URLs, it is also
thinkable that a malicious user would feed an application with a URL to
a server hosting code targetting this flaw.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/adv_20130206.html
config_h.com is a new file that generates a config.h file based on the
curl_config.h.in file and a quick scan of the configure script. This is
actually a generic procedure that is shared with other VMS packages.
The existing pre-built config-vms.h had over 100 entries that were not
correct and in some cases conflicted with the build options available in
the build_vms.com.
generate_config_vms_h_curl.com is a helper procedure to the
config_h.com. It covers the cases that the generic config_h.com is not
able to figure out, and accepts input from the build_vms.com procedure.
build_curlbuild_h.com is a new file to generate the curlbuild.h file
that Curl is now using when it is using a curl_config.h file.
post-config-vms.h is a new file that is needed to provide VMS specific
definitions, and most of them need to be set before the system header
files are included.
The VMS build procedure is fixed:
1. Fixed to link in the correct HP ssl library.
2. Fixed to detect if HP Kerberos is installed.
3. Fixed to detect if HP LDAP is installed.
4. Fixed to detect if gnv$libzshr is installed.
5. Simplified the input parameter parsing to not use a loop.
6. Warn that 64 bit pointer option support is not complete
in comments.
7. Default to IEEE floating if platform supports it so
resulting libcurl will be compatible with other
open source projects on VMS.
8. Default to LARGEFILE if platform supports it.
9. Default to enable SSL, LDAP, Kerberos, libz
if the libraries are present.
10. Build with exact case global symbols for libcurl.
11. Generate linker option file needed.
12. Compiler list option only commonly needed items.
13. fulllist option for those who really want it.
14. Create debug symbol file on Alpha, IA64.
By doing this unconditionally, we infer a simpler and more defined
behavior. This also has the upside that test 1021 no longer fails for me
even if I run with valgrind.
Also fixed some wrong comments.
According KB975858 this flag may cause problems on Windows 7 and
Windows Server 2008 R2 systems. Extended error information is not
currently used by libcurl and therefore not a requirement.
The flag may improve the SSL-connection shutdown in case of an
error. This means it might be a good improvement in the future.

This commit fixes a regression introduced in 052a08ff.
NSS caches certs/keys returned by the SSL_GetClientAuthDataHook callback
and if we connect second time to the same server, the cached cert/key
pair is used. If we use multiple client certificates for different
paths on the same server, we need to clear the session cache to force
NSS to call the hook again. The commit 052a08ff prevented the session
cache from being cleared if a client certificate from file was used.
The condition is now fixed to cover both cases: consssl->client_nickname
is not NULL if a client certificate from the NSS database is used and
connssl->obj_clicert is not NULL if a client certificate from file is
used.

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.

Issue: When building a 32bit target with large file support HP-UX
<sys/socket.h> header file may simultaneously provide two different
sets of declarations for sendfile and sendpath functions, one with
static and another with external linkage. Given that we do not use
mentioned functions we really don't care which linkage is the
appropriate one, but on the other hand, the double declaration emmits
warnings when using the HP-UX compiler and errors when using modern
gcc versions resulting in fatal compilation errors.
Mentioned issue is now fixed as long as we don't use sendfile nor
sendpath functions.
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.
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.
This handling already works with the easy-interface code. When a request
is sent on a re-used connection that gets closed by the server at the
same time as the request is sent, the situation may occur so that we can
send the request and we discover the broken connection as a RECV_ERROR
in the PERFORM state and then the request needs to be retried on a fresh
connection. Test 64 broke with 'multi-always-internally'.
Although it is not explicitly stated in the documentation, NSS uses
*pRetCert and *pRetKey even if the client authentication hook returns
a failure. Namely, if we destroy *pRetCert without clearing *pRetCert
afterwards, NSS destroys the certificate once again, which causes a
double free.

Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2012-11/0125.html
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.
axTLS:
This will make the axTLS backend perform the RFC2818 checks, honoring
the VERIFYHOST setting similar to the OpenSSL backend.
Generic for OpenSSL and axTLS:
Move the hostcheck and cert_hostcheck functions from the lib/ssluse.c
files to make them genericly available for both the OpenSSL, axTLS and
other SSL backends. They are now in the new lib/hostcheck.c file.
CyaSSL:
CyaSSL now also has the RFC2818 checks enabled by default. There is a
limitation that the verifyhost can not be enabled exclusively on the
Subject CN field comparison. This SSL backend will thus behave like the
NSS and the GnuTLS (meaning: RFC2818 ok, or bust). In other words:
setting verifyhost to 0 or 1 will disable the Subject Alt Names checks
too.
Schannel:
Updated the schannel information messages: Split the IP address usage
message from the verifyhost setting and changed the message about
disabling SNI (Server Name Indication, used in HTTP virtual hosting)
into a message stating that the Subject Alternative Names checks are
being disabled when verifyhost is set to 0 or 1. As a side effect of
switching off the RFC2818 related servername checks with
SCH_CRED_NO_SERVERNAME_CHECK
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa923430.aspx) the SNI feature
is being disabled. This effect is not documented in MSDN, but Wireshark
output clearly shows the effect (details on the libcurl maillist).
PolarSSL:
Fix the prototype change in PolarSSL of ssl_set_session() and the move
of the peer_cert from the ssl_context to the ssl_session. Found this
change in the PolarSSL SVN between r1316 and r1317 where the
POLARSSL_VERSION_NUMBER was at 0x01010100. But to accommodate the Ubuntu
PolarSSL version 1.1.4 the check is to discriminate between lower then
PolarSSL version 1.2.0 and 1.2.0 and higher. Note: The PolarSSL SVN
trunk jumped from version 1.1.1 to 1.2.0.
Generic:
All the SSL backends are fixed and checked to work with the
ssl.verifyhost as a boolean, which is an internal API change.
The text "additional stuff not fine" text was added for debug purposes a
while ago, but it isn't really helping anyone and for some reason some

As a handle can be re-used after having done HTTP auth in a previous
request, it must make sure to clear out the HTTP types that aren't
wanted in this new request.
This reverts commit ce8311c7e4.
The commit made test 2024 work but caused a regression with repeated
Digest authentication. We need to fix this differently.
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.

As pointed out in Bug report #3579064, curl_multi_perform() would
wrongly use a blocking mechanism internally for some commands which
could lead to for example a very long block if the LIST response never
showed.
The solution was to make sure to properly continue to use the multi
interface non-blocking state machine.
The new test 1501 verifies the fix.

Reported by: Jeff Connelly
Previously the Metalink code used Apple's CommonCrypto library only if
curl was built using the --with-darwinssl option. Now we use CommonCrypto
on all Apple operating systems including Tiger or later, or iOS 5 or
later, so you don't need to build --with-darwinssl anymore. Also rolled
out this change to libcurl's md5 code.
The iOS build was broken by a reference to a function that only existed
under OS X; fixed. Also fixed a hard-to-reproduce problem where, if the
server disconnected before libcurl got the chance to hang up first and
SecureTransport was in use, then we'd raise an error instead of failing
gracefully.
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.

Since there are servers that seem to return very big encrypted
data packages, we need to be able to handle those without having
an internal size limit. To avoid the buffer growing to fast to
early the initial size was decreased and the minimum free space
in the buffer was decreased as well.
During the periods of rate limitation, the speedcheck function wasn't
called and thus the values weren't updated accordingly and it would then
easily trigger wrongly once data got transferred again.
Also, the progress callback's return code was not acknowledged in this
state so it could make an "abort" return code to get ignored and not
have the documented effect of aborting an ongoing transfer.

Commit b91d29a28e170c16d65d956db79f2cd3a82372d2 introduces a bug and breaks Curl_closesocket function. sock_accepted flag for the second socket should be tagged as TRUE before the sockopt callback is called because in case the callback returns an error, Curl_closesocket function is going to call the - fclosesocket - callback for the accept()ed socket
For active FTP connections, applications may need setting the sockopt after accept() call returns successful. This fix gives a call to the callback registered with CURL_SOCKOPTFUNCTION option. Also a new sock type - CURLSOCKTYPE_ACCEPT - is added. This type is to be passed to application callbacks with - purpose - parameter. Applications may use this parameter to distinguish between socket types.
Commit e351972bc8 brought in the ssh agent support but some uses of
the libssh2 agent API was done unconditionally which wasn't good enough
since that API hasn't always been present.
By reading the ->head pointer and using that instead of the ->size
number to figure out if there's a list remaining we avoid the (false
positive) clang-analyzer warning that we might dereference of a null
pointer.
I suspect this is a regression introduced in commit 207cf150, included
since 7.24.0.
Avoid showing '(nil)' as hostname in verbose output by making sure the
hostname fixup function is called early enough to set the pointers that
are used for this. The name data is set again for each request even for
re-used connections to handle multiple hostnames over the same
connection (like with proxy) or that the casing etc of the host name is
changed between requests (which has proven to be important at least once
in the past).
Test1011 was modified to use a redirect with a re-used a connection
since it then showed the bug and now lo longer does. There's currently
no easy way to have the test suite detect 'nil' texts in verbose ouputs
so no tests will detect if this problem gets reintroduced.

We found a problem with ftp transfer using libcurl (7.23 and 7.25)
inside an application which is receiving unix signals (SIGUSR1,
SIGUSR2...) almost continuously. (Linux 2.4, PowerPC, HAVE_POLL_FINE
defined).
Curl_socket_check() uses poll() to wait for the socket, and retries it
when a signal is received (EINTR). However, if a signal is received and
it also happens that the timeout has been reached, Curl_socket_check()
returns -1 instead of 0 (indicating an error instead of a timeout).
In our case, the result is an aborted connection even before the ftp
banner is received from the server, and a return value of
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY from curl_easy_perform() (Curl_pp_multi_statemach(),
in pingpong.c, actually returns OOM if Curl_socket_check() fails :-)
Funny to debug on a system on which OOM is a possible cause).

The function https_getsock was only implemented properly when USE_SSLEAY
or USE_GNUTLS is defined, but it is also necessary for USE_SCHANNEL.
The problem occurs when Curl_read_plain or Curl_write_plain returns
CURLE_AGAIN. In that case CURL_OK is returned to the multi-interface an
the used socket is set to state CURL_POLL_REMOVE and the easy-state is
set to CURLM_STATE_PROTOCONNECT. This is fine, because later the socket
should be set to CURL_POLL_IN or CURL_POLL_OUT via multi_getsock. That's
where https_getsock is called and doesn't return any sockets.
The code was printing a warning when SNI was set up successfully. Oops.
Printing the cipher number in verbose mode was something only TLS/SSL
programmers might understand, so I had it print the name of the cipher,
just like in the OpenSSL code. That'll be at least a little bit easier
to understand. The SecureTransport API doesn't have a method of getting
a string from a cipher like OpenSSL does, so I had to generate the
strings manually.
When doing CONNECT requests, libcurl must make sure the connection is

It updates the two remaining reallocations that have already been there
and fixes the other one to use the same "do we need to increase the
buffer"-condition as the other two. CURL_SCHANNEL_BUFFER_STEP_SIZE was
renamed to CURL_SCHANNEL_BUFFER_FREE_SIZE since that is actually what it
is now. Since we don't know how much more data we are going to read
during the handshake, CURL_SCHANNEL_BUFFER_FREE_SIZE is used as the
minimum free space required in the buffer for the next operation.
CURL_SCHANNEL_BUFFER_STEP_SIZE was used for that before, too, but since
we don't have a step size now, the define was renamed.
Process extra data buffer before returning from schannel_connect_step2.
Without this change I've seen WinCE hang when schannel_connect_step2

If the encrypted handshake does not fit in the intial buffer (seen with
large certificate chain), increasing the encrypted data buffer is necessary.
Fixed warning in curl_schannel.c line 1215.
Implemented timeout loop in schannel_send while sending data. This
is as close as I think we can get to write buffering; I put a big
comment in to explain my thinking.
With some committer adjustments
Make the Schannel implementation use libcurl's default buffer size
for the initial received encrypted and decrypted data cache buffers.
The implementation still needs to handle more data since more data
might have already been received or decrypted during the handshake
or a read operation which needs to be cached for the next read.
curl_schannel.c - implemented graceful SSL shutdown. If we fail to
shutdown the connection gracefully, I've seen schannel try to use a
session ID for future connects and the server aborts the connection
during the handshake.
curl_schannel.c - auto certificate validation doesn't seem to work
right on CE. I added a method to perform the certificate validation
which uses CertGetCertificateChain and manually handles the result.
Coverity actually pointed out flawed logic in the previous call to
Curl_strntoupper() where the code used sizeof() of a pointer to pass in
a size argument. That code still worked since it only needed to
uppercase 4 letters. Still, the entire malloc/uppercase/free sequence
was pointless since the code has already matched the string once in the
condition that starts the block of code.
As spotted by Coverity, va_end() was not used previously. To make it
used I took away a bunch of return statements and made them into
assignments instead.
SSPI related code now compiles with ANSI and WCHAR versions of security

curl_schannel.c: Use structs directly instead of typedef'ed structs
curl_schannel.c: Removed space before opening brace
curl_schannel.c: Fixed lines being longer than 80 chars
Moved the error constant switch to curl_sspi.c and added two new helper
functions to curl_sspi.[ch] which either return the constant or a fully
translated message representing the SSPI security status.
Updated socks_sspi.c and curl_schannel.c to use the new functions.
Windows 2000 Professional: Schannel returns SEC_E_OK instead
of SEC_I_CONTEXT_EXPIRED. If the length of the output buffer
is zero and the first byte of the encrypted packet is 0x15,
the application can safely assume that the message was a
close_notify message and change the return value to
SEC_I_CONTEXT_EXPIRED.
Connection shutdown does not mean that there is no data to read
Correctly handle incomplete message and ask curl to re-read
Fixed buffer for decrypted being to small
Re-structured read condition to be more effective

Changed memory reduction method to keep a minimum buffer of size 4096
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.
Since Curl_pgrsDone() itself calls Curl_pgrsUpdate() which may return an
abort instruction or similar we need to return that info back and
subsequently properly handle return codes from Curl_pgrsDone() where
used.

Previously it would use a 256 byte buffer and thus cut off very long

Re-factored the smtp_state_*_resp() functions to 1) Match the constants

Corrected lines longer than 78 characters.
Removed unnecessary braces in smtp_state_helo_resp().
Introduced some comments in data sending functions.
Tidied up comments to match changes made in pop3.c.
Corrected lines longer than 78 characters.
Changed POP3_AUTH_FINAL to POP3_AUTH to match SMTP code now that the
AUTH command is no longer sent on its own.
Introduced some comments in data sending functions.
Another attempt at trying to rational code and comment style.
Added a service type parameter to Curl_sasl_create_digest_md5_message()
to allow the function to be used by different services rather than being
hard coded to "smtp".
Not all SASL enabled POP3 servers support the AUTH command on its own
when trying to detect the supported mechanisms. As such changed the
mechanism detection to use the CAPA command instead.
Because pop3_endofresp() is called for each line of data yet is not
passed the line and line length, so we have to use the data pointed to
by pp->linestart_resp which contains the whole packet, the mechanisms
were being detected in one call yet the function would be called for
each line of data.
Using curl with verbose mode enabled would show that one line of data
would be received in response to the AUTH command, before the AUTH
<mechanism> command was sent to the server and then the next few lines
of the original AUTH command would be displayed before the response from
the AUTH <mechanism> command. This would then cause problems when
parsing the CRAM-MD5 challenge data as extra data was contained in the
buffer.
Changed the parsing so that each line is checked for the mechanisms
and the function returns FALSE until the whole of the AUTH response has
been processed.
Previously it wasn't possible to connect to POP3 and not specify the
user name as a CURLE_ACCESS_DENIED error would be returned. This error
occurred because USER would be sent to the server with a blank user name
if no mailbox user was specified as the server would reply with -ERR.
This wasn't a problem prior to the 7.26.0 release but with the
introduction of custom commands the user and/or application developer
might want to issue a CAPA command without having to log in as a
specific mailbox user.
Additionally this fix won't send the newly introduced AUTH command if no
user name is specified.
Rather than encoding the password message itself the
smtp_state_authpasswd_resp() function now delegates the work to the same
function that smtp_state_authlogin_resp() and smtp_authenticate() use
when constructing the encoded user name.
In preparation for moving to the SASL module re-factored the
smtp_auth_login_user() function to smtp_auth_login() so that it can be
used for both user names and passwords as sending both of these under
the login authentication mechanism is the same.
The POP3 protocol doesn't really have the concept of error codes and
uses +, +OK and -ERR in response to commands to indicate continue,
success and error.
The AUTH command is one of those commands that requires multiple pieces
of data to be sent to the server where the server will respond with + as
part of the handshaking. This meant changing the values before
continuing with the next stage of adding authentication support.
Changed the order of the state machine to match the order of actual
events.
Reworked some comments and function parameter positioning that I missed
the other day.
Added support for detecting the supported SASL authentication mechanisms
via the AUTH command. There are two ways of detecting them, either by
using the AUTH command, that will return -ERR if not supported or by
using the CAPA command which will return SASL and the list of mechanisms
if supported, not include SASL if SASL authentication is not supported
or -ERR if the CAPA command is not supported. As such it seems simpler
to use the AUTH command and fallback to normal clear text authentication
if the the command is not supported.
Additionally updated the test cases to return -ERR when the AUTH command
is encountered. Additional test cases will be added when support for the
individual authentication mechanisms is added.
Moved EOB definition into header file.
Switched the logic around in pop3_endofresp() to allow for the
introduction of auth-mechanism detection.
Repositioned second and third function variables where they will fit
within the 78 character line limit.
Tidied up some comments.
Move the SMTP_AUTH constants into a separate header file in
preparation for adding SASL based authentication to POP3 as the two
protocols will need to share them.
Due to the result code being reset to CURLE_OK when smtp_dophase_done()
was called, postdata would incorrectly be sent to the server when the
MAIL FROM or RCPT command was rejected.
As such, libcurl would return the wrong result code from performing the
operation and additionally set CURLINFO_RESPONSE_CODE to be that
returned by the postdata command.

In nettle/md5.h, md5_init and md5_update are defined as macros to

A dot character at the beginning of a line would not be escaped to a

Note: This fix also simplifies the detection of repeated CRLF.CRLF
combinations, such as CRLF.CRLF.CRLF, a little rather than having to
advance the eob counter to 2.
Roman Mamedov spotted (in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=670126) that curl would
not complain when given a URL with an IPv6 numerical address without
brackets. It would simply cut off the last ":[hex]" part and thus not
work correctly.
That's a URL using an illegal syntax and now libcurl will instead return
a clear error code and error message detailing the error.
The above mentioned bug report claims this to be a regression but
libcurl does not guarantee functionality when given URLs that aren't
following the URL spec (RFC3986 mostly). I consider the fact that it
used to handle this differently a mere coincidence.
When doing a chunked-encoded POST with -d (CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS) and the
size of the POST was zero length, it made libcurl first send a zero
chunk and then the terminating one. This could confuse a receiver and it
should rather just send the terminating chunk as it does with this fix.
Test case 1333 is added to verify.
