verify.

that the size needs to be provided with CURLFORM_CONTENTSLENGTH when the

the SingleRequest one to make pipelining better. It is a bit tricky to keep
them in the right place, to keep things related to the actual request or to
the actual connection in the right place.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1879375) which describes how libcurl
got lost in this scenario: proxy tunnel (or HTTPS over proxy), ask to do any
proxy authentication and the proxy replies with an auth (like NTLM) and then
closes the connection after that initial informational response.
libcurl would not properly re-initialize the connection to the proxy and
continue the auth negotiation like supposed. It does now however, as it will
now detect if one or more authentication methods were available and asked
for, and will thus retry the connection and continue from there.
- I made the progress callback get called properly during proxy CONNECT.

problem that occurred when doing a large HTTP POST request with the
response-body read from a callback.
libcurl to seek in a given input stream. This is particularly important when
doing upload resumes when there's already a huge part of the file present
remotely. Before, and still if this callback isn't used, libcurl will read
and through away the entire file up to the point to where the resuming
begins (which of course can be a slow opereration depending on file size,
I/O bandwidth and more). This new function will also be preferred to get
used instead of the CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION for seeking back in a stream when
doing multi-stage HTTP auth with POST/PUT.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1849764) with an included fix. He
identified a problem for re-used connections that previously had sent
Expect: 100-continue and in some situations the subsequent POST (that didn't
use Expect:) still had the internal flag set for its use. David's fix (that
makes the setting of the flag in every single request unconditionally) is
fine and is now used!
callback) over a proxy when NTLM is used as auth with the proxy. The bug
also concerned Digest and was limited to using callback only. Spacen worked
with us to provide a useful patch. I added the test case 547 and 548 to
verify two variations of POST over proxy with NTLM.
the appending of the "type=" thing on FTP URLs when they are passed to a
HTTP proxy. Some proxies just don't like that appending (which is done
unconditionally in 7.17.1), and some proxies treat binary/ascii transfers
better with the appending done!
is inited at the start of the DO action. I removed the Curl_transfer_keeper
struct completely, and I had to move out a few struct members (that had to
be set before DO or used after DONE) to the UrlState struct. The SingleRequest
struct is accessed with SessionHandle->req.
One of the biggest reasons for doing this was the bunch of duplicate struct
members in HandleData and Curl_transfer_keeper since it was really messy to
keep track of two variables with the same name and basically the same purpose!
callback was used, as it could wrongly pass on a bad size for the outgoing
HTTP header. The bad size would be a very large value as it was a wrapped
size_t content. This happened when the whole HTTP request failed to get sent
in one single send. http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2007-11/0165.html
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332917 about a HTTP redirect to
FTP that caused memory havoc. His work together with my efforts created two
fixes:
#1 - FTP::file was moved to struct ftp_conn, because is has to be dealt with
at connection cleanup, at which time the struct HandleData could be
used by another connection.
Also, the unused char *urlpath member is removed from struct FTP.
#2 - provide a Curl_reset_reqproto() function that frees
data->reqdata.proto.* on connection setup if needed (that is if the
SessionHandle was used by a different connection).
a response that was larger than 16KB is now improved slightly so that now
the restriction at 16KB is for the headers only and it should be a rare
situation where the response-headers exceed 16KB. Thus, I consider #47 fixed
and the header limitation is now known as known bug #48.
passed to it with curl_easy_setopt()! Previously it has always just refered
to the data, forcing the user to keep the data around until libcurl is done
with it. That is now history and libcurl will instead clone the given
strings and keep private copies.
NTLM, and he provided test code and a test server and we worked out a bug
fix. We failed to count sent body data at times, which then caused internal
confusions when libcurl tried to send the rest of the data in order to
maintain the same connection alive.
(and then I did some minor reformatting of code in lib/http.c)
the multi interface and connection re-use that could make a
curl_multi_remove_handle() ruin a pointer in another handle.
The second problem was less of an actual problem but more of minor quirk:
the re-using of connections wasn't properly checking if the connection was
marked for closure.
and CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS that, as their names should hint, do the
timeouts with millisecond resolution instead. The only restriction to that
is the alarm() (sometimes) used to abort name resolves as that uses full
seconds. I fixed the FTP response timeout part of the patch.
Internally we now count and keep the timeouts in milliseconds but it also
means we multiply set timeouts with 1000. The effect of this is that no
timeout can be set to more than 2^31 milliseconds (on 32 bit systems), which
equals 24.86 days. We probably couldn't before either since the code did
*1000 on the timeout values on several places already.
doing an FTP transfer is removed from a multi handle before completion. The
fix also fixed the "alive counter" to be correct on "premature removal" for
all protocols.
non-ASCII platforms. It does add some complexity, most notably with more
#ifdefs, but I want to see this supported added and I can't see how we can
add it without the extra stuff added.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1618359) and subsequently provided a
patch for it: when downloading 2 zero byte files in a row, curl 7.16.0
enters an infinite loop, while curl 7.16.1-20061218 does one additional
unnecessary request.
Fix: During the "Major overhaul introducing http pipelining support and
shared connection cache within the multi handle." change, headerbytecount
was moved to live in the Curl_transfer_keeper structure. But that structure
is reset in the Transfer method, losing the information that we had about
the header size. This patch moves it back to the connectdata struct.
KNOWN_BUGS #25, which happens when a proxy closes the connection when
libcurl has sent CONNECT, as part of an authentication negotiation. Starting
now, libcurl will re-connect accordingly and continue the authentication as
it should.
could very well cause a negate number get passed in and thus cause reading
outside of the array usually used for this purpose.
We avoid this by using the uppercase macro versions introduced just now that
does some extra crazy typecasts to avoid byte codes > 127 to cause negative
int values.
to the CURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION callback has been fixed (it was erroneously
included as part of the header). A message was also added to the
command line tool to show when data is being sent, enabled when
--verbose is used.
send the whole request at once, even though the Expect: header was disabled
by the application. An effect of this change is also that small (< 1024
bytes) POSTs are now always sent without Expect: header since we deem it
more costly to bother about that than the risk that we send the data in
vain.
like this in this source file. The quickfix for now is to provide a simple
version for GnuTLS builds. The GnuTLS version of libcurl doesn't yet allow
fully non-blocking connects anyway so this function doesn't get used.
(http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1481217), with follow-ups by Michele Bini
and David Byron. libcurl previously wrongly used GetLastError() on windows to
get error details after socket-related function calls, when it really should
use WSAGetLastError() instead.
When changing to this, the former function Curl_ourerrno() is now instead
called Curl_sockerrno() as it is necessary to only use it to get errno from
socket-related functions as otherwise it won't work as intended on Windows.
an app can use to let libcurl only connect to a remote host and then extract
the socket from libcurl. libcurl will then not attempt to do any transfer at
all after the connect is done.
(wrongly) sends *two* WWW-Authenticate headers for Digest. While this should
never happen in a sane world, libcurl previously got into an infinite loop
when this occurred. Dave added test 273 to verify this.
fix the CONNECT authentication code with multi-pass auth methods (such as
NTLM) as it didn't previously properly ignore response-bodies - in fact it
stopped reading after all response headers had been received. This could
lead to libcurl sending the next request and reading the body from the first
request as response to the second request. (I also renamed the function,
which wasn't strictly necessary but...)
The best fix would to once and for all make the CONNECT code use the
ordinary request sending/receiving code, treating it as any ordinary request
instead of the special-purpose function we have now. It should make it
better for multi-interface too. And possibly lead to less code...
Added test case 265 for this. It doesn't work as a _really_ good test case
since the test proxy is too stupid, but the test case helps when running the
debugger to verify.
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
.netrc, and when following a Location: the subsequent requests didn't properly
use the auth as found in the netrc file. Added test case 257 to verify my fix.
internally, with code provided by sslgen.c. All SSL-layer-specific code is
then written in ssluse.c (for OpenSSL) and gtls.c (for GnuTLS).
As far as possible, internals should not need to know what SSL layer that is
in use. Building with GnuTLS currently makes two test cases fail.
TODO.gnutls contains a few known outstanding issues for the GnuTLS support.
GnuTLS support is enabled with configure --with-gnutls
also affecting NTLM and Negotiate.) It turned out that if the server responded
with 100 Continue before the initial 401 response, libcurl didn't take care of
the response properly. Test case 245 and 246 added to verify this.
function was fixed to use the proper proxy authentication when multiple ones
were added as accepted. test 239 and test 243 were added to repeat the
problems and verify the fixes.
USE_WINDOWS_SSPI on Windows, and then libcurl will be built to use the native
way to do NTLM. SSPI also allows libcurl to pass on the current user and its
password in the request.
requested data from a host and then followed a redirect to another
host. libcurl then didn't use the proxy-auth properly in the second request,
due to the host-only check for original host name wrongly being extended to
the proxy auth as well. Added test case 233 to verify the flaw and that the
fix removed the problem.
that picks NTLM. Thanks to David Byron letting me test NTLM against his
servers, I could quickly repeat and fix the problem. It turned out to be:
When libcurl POSTs without knowing/using an authentication and it gets back a
list of types from which it picks NTLM, it needs to either continue sending
its data if it keeps the connection alive, or not send the data but close the
connection. Then do the first step in the NTLM auth. libcurl didn't send the
data nor close the connection but simply read the response-body and then sent
the first negotiation step. Which then failed miserably of course. The fixed
version forces a connection if there is more than 2000 bytes left to send.
libcurl without cookie support. This is mainly useful if you want to build a
minimalistic libcurl with no cookies support at all. Like for embedded
systems or similar.
file that was already completely downloaded caused an error, while it
doesn't if you don't use --fail! I added test case 194 to verify the fix.
Grrr. CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is now added to the list stuff to remove in
libcurl v8 due to all the kludges needed to support it.
replacement, curl only replaced the Host: header on the initial request
and didn't replace it on the following ones. This resulted in requests with
two Host: headers.
Now, curl checks if the location is on the same host as the initial request
and then continues to replace the Host: header. And when it moves to another
host, it doesn't replace the Host: header but it also doesn't make the
second Host: header get used in the request.
This change is verified by the two new test cases 184 and 185.
server doesn't require any auth at all and then we just continue nicely. We
now have an extra bit in the connection struct named 'authprobe' that is TRUE
when doing pure "HTTP authentication probing".
all things up to work with encoded host names internally, as well as keeping
'display names' to show in debug messages. IDN resolves work for me now using
ipv6, ipv4 and ares resolving. Even cookies on IDN sites seem to do right.
stuff added a few weeks ago. Turns out that if you specify --proxy-ntlm and
communicate with a proxy that requires basic authentication, the proxy
properly returns a 407, but the failure detection code doesn't realize it
should give up, so curl returns with exit code 0. Test case 162 verifies
this.
connects and otherwise enforced tunnel-thru-proxy requests), the same
authentication header is also wrongly sent to the remote host.
The name and password can then be captured by an evil host and possibly get
used for malicious purposes.
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION to set a callback that gets called with the
OpenSSL's ssl_ctx pointer passed in and allow a callback to act on it. If
anything but CURLE_OK is returned, that will also be returned by libcurl
all the way back. If this function changes the CURLOPT_URL, libcurl will
detect this and instead go use the new URL.
CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_DATA is a pointer you set to get passed to the callback set
with CURLOPT_SSL_CTX_FUNCTION.
two separate send() calls, first the headers and then the data. I've now made
a fix that for static and known content that isn't to be chunked-encoded,
everything is now sent in one single system call again. This is also better
for network performance reasons.
same as using a httpproxy so we must make sure to better check for http
proxies before we do HTTP proxy stuff. This included authorization and
URI usage in the request etc.
