testsuite: use binary output mode for custom curl test tools

2014-02-14T19:12:27+00:00

Do not try to convert line-endings to CRLF on Windows by setting stdout
to binary mode, just like the curl tool does if --ascii is not specified.

This should prevent corrupted stdout line-ending output like CRCRLF.

In order to make the previously naive text-aware tests work with
binary mode on Windows, text-mode is disabled for them if it is not
actually part of the test case and line-endings are corrected.

tests: add keywords for a couple of HTTP tests

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.

Andres Garcia's text mode fix for the 'data' part

2005-06-03T14:06:03+00:00

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"

Fix behaviour when passing NULL to CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS and CURLOPT_HTTPPOST.
