This makes verifying easier and makes us more sure curl closes the
connection only at the correct point in time. Adjusted test 206 and 1008
accordingly and updated the docs for it.
Using this, the server will output in the protocol log when the
connection gets disconnected and thus we will verify correctly in the
test cases that the connection doesn't get closed prematurely. This is
important for example NTLM to work.
Documentation added to FILEFORMAT, test 503 updated to use this.
There's a new 'http-proxy' server for tests that runs on a separate port
and lets clients do HTTP CONNECT to other ports on the same host to
allow us to test HTTP "tunneling" properly.
Test cases now have a <proxy> section in <verify> to check that the
proxy protocol part matches correctly.
Test case 80, 83, 95, 275, 503 and 1078 have been converted. Test 1316
was added.
The test runner script now knows if unittests can run and the unit test
setup file says it is one. I also made runtests.pl deal with no
<command> tag set, so that the description file can get even simpler.
If a command is set type="perl", it can now specify a perl program that will
be run instead of an ordinary curl or built tool.
A perl test automatically disables memory and valgrind debugging.
This delays between write operations, hopefully making it easier
to spot problems where libcurl doesn't flush the socket properly
before waiting for the next response.
return code. This way, if the precheck command can't be run at all for
whatever reason, it's treated as a precheck failure which causes the
test to be skipped.
"Connection: close" and actually close the connection after the
response-body, libcurl could still have outstanding data to send and it
would not properly notice this and stop sending. This caused weirdness and
sad faces. http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2080222
Note that there are still reasons to consider libcurl's behavior when
getting a >= 400 response code while sending data, as Craig Perras' note
"http upload: how to stop on error" specifies:
http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2008-08/0138.html
are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
CURL_SWS_FORK_ENABLED defined it forks for each new connection and thus can
support any amount of connection clients (used for hiper tests and not for the
standard plain curl test suite)
