As a remedy to the problem when a socket gets closed and a new one is
opened with the same file descriptor number and as a result
multi.c:singlesocket() doesn't detect the difference, the new function
Curl_multi_closed() gets told when a socket is closed so that it can be
removed from the socket hash. When the old one has been removed, a new
socket should be detected fine by the singlesocket() on next invoke.
Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1248
Reported-by: Erik Johansson
By introducing an internal alternative to curl_multi_init() that accepts
parameters to set the hash sizes, easy handles will now use tiny socket
and connection hash tables since it will only ever add a single easy
handle to that multi handle.
This decreased the number mallocs in test 40 (which is a rather simple
and typical easy interface use case) from 1142 to 138. The maximum
amount of memory allocated used went down from 118969 to 78805.
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that
allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to
optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new
connections and the potential pipelining latency.
Two new options for limiting the number of connections:
CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections
to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished, so we can reuse the connection.
CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total.
When adding a handle that exceeds this limit,
that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is
finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or
closed if the pending handle can't reuse it.
Several new options for pipelining:
CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a
pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection
will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it.
If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is
ready (either free or a pipe got shorter).
CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content
length that is larger than this.
CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not
be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow
pipelining.
CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow
pipelining.
See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.

Curl_expire() is now expanded to hold a list of timeouts for each easy
handle. Only the closest in time will be the one used as the primary
timeout for the handle and will be used for the splay tree (which sorts
and lists all handles within the multi handle).
When the main timeout has triggered/expired, the next timeout in time
that is kept in the list will be moved to the main timeout position and
used as the key to splay with. This way, all timeouts that are set with
Curl_expire() internally will end up as a proper timeout. Previously any
Curl_expire() that set a _later_ timeout than what was already set was
just silently ignored and thus missed.
Setting Curl_expire() with timeout 0 (zero) will cancel all previously
added timeouts.
Corrects known bug #62.
With the curl memory tracking feature decoupled from the debug build feature,
CURLDEBUG and DEBUGBUILD preprocessor symbol definitions are used as follows:
CURLDEBUG used for curl debug memory tracking specific code (--enable-curldebug)
DEBUGBUILD used for debug enabled specific code (--enable-debug)
would crash if a bad function sequence was used when shutting down after
using the multi interface (i.e using easy_cleanup after multi_cleanup) so
precautions have been added to make sure it doesn't any more - test case 529
was added to verify.
