When NSS-powered libcurl connected to a SSL server with
CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to zero, NSS remembered that the peer
certificate was accepted by libcurl and did not ask the second time when
connecting to the same server with CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER equal to one.
This patch turns off the SSL session cache for the particular SSL socket
if peer verification is disabled. In order to avoid any performance
impact, the peer verification is completely skipped in that case, which
makes it even faster than before.
Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/678580
The PROT_* set of internal defines for the protocols is no longer
used. We now use the same bits internally as we have defined in the
public header using the CURLPROTO_ prefix. This is for simplicity and
because the PROT_* prefix was already used duplicated internally for a
set of KRB4 values.
The PROTOPT_* defines were moved up to just below the struct definition
within which they are used.
The protocol handler struct got a 'flags' field for special information
and characteristics of the given protocol.
This now enables us to move away central protocol information such as
CLOSEACTION and DUALCHANNEL from single defines in a central place, out
to each protocol's definition. It also made us stop abusing the protocol
field for other info than the protocol, and we could start cleaning up
other protocol-specific things by adding flags bits to set in the
handler struct.
The "protocol" field connectdata struct was removed as well and the code
now refers directly to the conn->handler->protocol field instead. To
make things work properly, the code now always store a conn->given
pointer that points out the original handler struct so that the code can
learn details from the original protocol even if conn->handler is
modified along the way - for example when switching to go over a HTTP
proxy.
The non-blocking connect improvement for IMAP showed that we didn't
properly define the Curl_ssl_connect_nonblocking function for non-SSL

Some protocols have to call the underlying functions without regard to
what exact state the socket signals. For example even if the socket says
"readable", the send function might need to be called while uploading,
or vice versa. This is the case for libssh2 based protocols: SCP and
SFTP and we now introduce a define to set those protocols and we make
the multi interface code aware of this concept.
This is another fix to make test 582 run properly.
As a new state recently was added to the IMAP state machine it has to be
in the array of names as well as otherwise libcurl crashes when a debug
version runs...
For uploads we want to use the _sending_ function even when the socket
turns out readable as the underlying libssh2 sftp send function will
deal with both accordingly. This is what the cselect_bits magic is for.
Fixes test 582.

Both SFTP and SCP are protocols that need to shut down stuff properly
when the connection is about to get torned down. The primary effect of
not doing this shows up as memory leaks (when using SCP or SFTP with the
multi interface).
This is one of the problems detected by test 582.
As we know how much to send, we can and should stop once we've sent that
much data as it avoids having to rely on other mechanisms to detect the
end.
This is one of the problems detected by test 582.

When using the multi_socket API to do SFTP upload, it is important that

the ball rolling.

After a request times out, the connection wasn't properly closed and
prevented to get re-used, so subsequent transfers could still mistakenly
get to use the previously aborted connection.
When failing to connect the protocol during the CURLM_STATE_PROTOCONNECT
state, Curl_done() has to be called with the premature flag set TRUE as
for the pingpong protocols this can be important.
When Curl_done() is called with premature == TRUE, it needs to call
Curl_disconnect() with its 'dead_connection' argument set to TRUE as
well so that any protocol handler's disconnect function won't attempt to
use the (control) connection for anything.
This problem caused the pingpong protocols to fail to disconnect when
STARTTLS failed.

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.
It turns out some systems rely on the gmtime or gmtime_r to be defined
already in the system headers and thus my "precaution" redefining of
them only caused trouble. They are now removed.
On second thought, I think CURLE_TLSAUTH_FAILED should be eliminated. It
was only being raised when an internal error occurred while allocating
or setting the GnuTLS SRP client credentials struct. For TLS
authentication failures, the general CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR seems
appropriate; its error string already includes "passwords" as a possible
cause. Having a separate TLS auth error code might also cause people to
think that a TLS auth failure means the wrong username or password was
entered, when it could also be a sign of a man-in-the-middle attack.
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 main has not been updated from some time and is out of sync with
the code. The code is now tested by several test cases so no need for
a seperate code path.
Instead of polluting many places with #ifdefs, we create a single place
for this function, and also check return code properly so that a NULL
pointer returned won't cause problems.

When built IPv6-enabled, we could do Curl_done() with one of the two

resolve callback ends up doing funny things (sometimes resulting in a

though we're shutting down the resolve.

Providing multiple dots in a series in the domain field (domain=..com) could
trick the cookie engine to wrongly accept the cookie believing it to be

The code now requires at least one letter between each dot for them to be
counted. Edited test case 61 to verify this.
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

It helps to prevent a hangup with some FTP servers in case idle session
timeout has exceeded. But it may be useful also for other protocols
that send any quit message on disconnect. Currently used by FTP, POP3,
IMAP and SMTP.
When looping in this function and checking for the timeout being
expired, it was not updating the reference time when calculating the

to have taken longer than it actually did.

While changing Curl_sec_read_msg to accept an enum protection_level
instead of an int, I went ahead and fixed the usage of the associated
fields.
Some code was assuming that prot_clear == 0. Fixed those to use the
proper value. Added assertions prior to any code that would set the
protection level.
This is the advised way of checking for errors in the GSS-API RFC.
Also added some '\n' to the error message so that they are not mixed
with other outputs.
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.
CURLOPT_RESOLVE is a new option that sends along a curl_slist with
name:port:address sets that will populate the DNS cache with entries so
that request can be "fooled" to use another host than what otherwise
would've been used. Previously we've encouraged the use of Host: for
that when dealing with HTTP, but this new feature has the added bonus
that it allows the name from the URL to be used for TLS SNI and server
certificate name checks as well.
This is a first change. Surely more will follow to make it decent.
If the query result has a binary attribute, the binary attribute is
base64 encoded. But all following non binary attributes are also base64
encoded which is wrong.

If you use a custom Host: name in a request to a SSL server, libcurl
will now use that given name when it verifies the server certificate to
be correct rather than using the host name used in the actual URL.
When given a custom host name in a Host: header, we can use it for
several different purposes other than just cookies, so we rename it and
use it for SSL SNI etc.

In libssh2 1.2.8, libssh2_session_handshake() replaces

It is a bad idea to use the public prefix used by another library and
now we realize that libssh2 introduces a symbol in the upcoming version
1.2.8 that conflicts with our static function named libssh2_free.
When failing to build form post due to an error, the code now does a
proper failf(). Previously libcurl would report an error like "failed
creating formpost data" when a file wasn't possible to open which was
not easy for users to figure out.
I also lower cased a function name to be named more curl-style and
removed some unnecessary code.
The URL parser got a little stricter as it now considers a ? to be a
host name divider so that the slightly sloppier URLs work too. The
problem that made me do this change was the reported problem with an URL
like: www.example.com?email=name@example.com This form of URL is not
really a legal URL (due to the missing slash after the host name) but is
widely accepted by all major browsers and libcurl also already accepted
it, it was just the '@' letter that triggered the problem now.
The side-effect of this change is that now libcurl no longer accepts the
? letter as part of user-name or password when given in the URL, which
it used to accept (and is tested in test 191). That letter is however
mentioned in RFC3986 to be required to be percent encoded since it is
used as a divider.

As the change in 5f0ae7a062 added a precaution against negative

introduces the same check at the second place in the code where the file

This check might not be suitable for a 32 bit curl_off_t, but libssh2.h
assumes long long to work and to be 64 bit so I believe such a small
curl_off_t will be very unlikely to occur in the wild.
Renamed SDK_* to NDK_*; made NDK_* defines overwriteable from

moved some curl_config.h defines to IPv6 section since they

The timeouts are now instead cleared at curl_easy_cleanup() and when the

As of curl-7.21.1 tunnelling ldap queries through HTTP Proxies is not
supported. Actually if --proxytunnel command-line option (or equivalent
CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL) is used for ldap queries like
ldap://ldap.my.server.com/... You are unable to successfully execute the
query. In facts ldap_*_bind is executed directly against the ldap server
and proxy is totally ignored. This is true for both openLDAP and
Microsoft LDAP API.
Step to reproduce the error:
Just launch "curl --proxytunnel --proxy 192.168.1.1:8080
ldap://ldap.my.server.com/dc=... "
This fix adds an invocation to Curl_proxyCONNECT against the provided
proxy address and on successful "CONNECT" it tunnels ldap query to the
final ldap server through the HTTP proxy. As far as I know Microsoft
LDAP APIs don't permit tunnelling in any way so the patch provided is
for OpenLDAP only. The patch has been developed against OpenLDAP 2.4.23
and has been tested with Microsoft ISA Server 2006 and works properly
with basic, digest and NTLM authentication.

and it will then cause an error. This change now makes the rewinding
only happen if pipelining is in use - as that's the only time it really
needs to be done.
