curl/tests/data/test158, branch master

mime: tests and examples.

2017-09-02T18:08:45+00:00

Additional mime-specific tests.
Existing tests updated to reflect small differences (Expect: 100-continue,
data size change due to empty lines, etc).
Option -F headers= keyword added to tests.
test1135 disabled until the entry point order change is resolved.
New example smtp-mime.
Examples postit2 and multi-post converted from form API to mime API.

formpost: better random boundaries

2013-06-25T07:55:49+00:00

When doing multi-part formposts, libcurl used a pseudo-random value that
was seeded with time(). This turns out to be bad for users who formpost
data that is provided with users who then can guess how the boundary
string will look like and then they can forge a different formpost part
and trick the receiver.

My advice to such implementors is (still even after this change) to not
rely on the boundary strings being cryptographically strong. Fix your
code and logic to not depend on them that much!

I moved the Curl_rand() function into the sslgen.c source file now to be
able to take advantage of the SSL library's random function if it
provides one. If not, try to use the RANDOM_FILE for seeding and as a
last resort keep the old logic, just modified to also add microseconds
which makes it harder to properly guess the exact seed.

The formboundary() function in formdata.c is now using 64 bit entropy
for the boundary and therefore the string of dashes was reduced by 4
letters and there are 16 hex digits following it. The total length is
thus still the same.

Add keywords for a couple of currently keyword-less HTTP tests

Replaced 127.0.0.1 with %HOSTIP where possible

Convert (most of) the test data files into genuine XML. A handful still

2007-01-23T02:25:56+00:00

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.

Modified the default HTTP headers used by libcurl:

2005-05-11T09:52:59+00:00

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"

Now the test servers and test cases can run on a custom port number. There's

2004-09-08T08:08:38+00:00

no fixed port numbers in use anymore. Starting now, the default ports the
servers use are 8990 - 8993. There's no option to modify these yet, but
changing the $base option in the top of the runtests.pl script.
