RFC 6265 section 4.1.1 spells out that the first name/value pair in the header is the actual cookie name and content, while the following are the parameters. libcurl previously had a more liberal approach which causes significant problems when introducing new cookie parameters, like the suggested new cookie priority draft. The previous logic read all n/v pairs from left-to-right and the first name used that wassn't a known parameter name would be used as the cookie name, thus accepting "Set-Cookie: Max-Age=2; person=daniel" to be a cookie named 'person' while an RFC 6265 compliant parser should consider that to be a cookie named 'Max-Age' with an (unknown) parameter 'person'. Fixes #709
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.
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.
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"
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.
