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.

Commit 9109cdec11ee5a 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.

Include stdbool.h only when it is available and configure is capable of
detecting a proper 'bool' data type when the header is included.
Compilation fix for old or unpatched versions of XL C compiler.

NSS_InitContext() was introduced in NSS 3.12.5 and helps to prevent
collisions on NSS initialization/shutdown with other libraries.

configure script now provides conditional definitions for Makefile.am
that result in CURL_HIDDEN_SYMBOLS being defined by resulting makefiles
when appropriate.
Additionally, configure script option for symbol hiding control is now
named --enable-symbol-hiding --disable-symbol-hiding. While still valid,
old option name --enable-hidden-symbols --disable-hidden-symbols will
be deprecated in some future release.
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.
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.
Reworked the command sending from two specific LIST and RETR command
functions into a single command based function as well as the two
associated response handlers into a generic command handler.
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.
This change replaces RFC 2818 based hostname check in OpenSSL build with
RFC 6125 [1] based one.
The hostname check in RFC 2818 is ambiguous and each project implements
it in the their own way and they are slightly different. I check curl,
gnutls, Firefox and Chrome and they are all different.
I don't think there is a bug in current implementation of hostname
check. But it is not as strict as the modern browsers do. Currently,
curl allows multiple wildcard character '*' and it matches '.'. (as
described in the comment in ssluse.c).
Firefox implementation is also based on RFC 2818 but it only allows at
most one wildcard character and it must be in the left-most label in the
pattern and the wildcard must not be followed by any character in the
label.[2] Chromium implementation is based on RFC 6125 as my patch does.
Firefox and Chromium both require wildcard in the left-most label in the
presented identifier.
This patch is more strict than the current implementation, so there may
be some cases where old curl works but new one does not. But at the same
time I think it is good practice to follow the modern browsers do and
follow the newer RFC.
