cli tool: reimplement stdin buffering in -F option.

2017-10-12T13:25:59+00:00

If stdin is not a regular file, its content is memory-buffered to enable
a possible data "rewind".
In all cases, stdin data size is determined before real use to avoid
having an unknown part's size.

--libcurl generated code is left as an unbuffered stdin fread/fseek callback
part with unknown data size.

Buffering is not supported in deprecated curl_formadd() API.

mime: remove support "-" stdin pseudo-file name in curl_mime_filedata().

2017-09-03T13:45:43+00:00

This feature is badly supported in Windows: as a replacement, a caller has
to use curl_mime_data_cb() with fread, fseek and possibly fclose
callbacks to process opened files.

The cli tool and documentation are updated accordingly.

The feature is however kept internally for form API compatibility, with
the known caveats it always had.

As a side effect, stdin size is not determined by the cli tool even if
possible and this results in a chunked transfer encoding. Test 173 is
updated accordingly.

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.

Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in form posting

2010-08-24T23:45:31+00:00

It was introduced in commit eeb2cb05 along with the -F type=
change. Also fixed a typo in the name of the magic filename=
parameter. Tweaked tests 39 and 173 to better test this path.

Replaced 127.0.0.1 with %HOSTIP where possible

2007-09-14T19:32:31+00:00

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.

Venkat Akella found out that libcurl did not like HTTP responses that simply

2006-11-25T13:32:04+00:00

responded with a single status line and no headers nor body. Starting now, a
HTTP response on a persistent connection (i.e not set to be closed after the
response has been taken care of) must have Content-Length or chunked
encoding set, or libcurl will simply assume that there is no body.

To my horror I learned that we had no less than 57(!) test cases that did bad
HTTP responses like this, and even the test http server (sws) responded badly
when queried by the test system if it is the test system. So although the
actual fix for the problem was tiny, going through all the newly failing test
cases got really painful and boring.

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.

test 173 added: HTTP RFC1867-formpost a file from stdin with "faked" filename
