2018-02-21url: Add option CURLOPT_RESOLVER_START_FUNCTIONFrancisco Sedano
- Add new option CURLOPT_RESOLVER_START_FUNCTION to set a callback that will be called every time before a new resolve request is started (ie before a host is resolved) with a pointer to backend-specific resolver data. Currently this is only useful for ares. - Add new option CURLOPT_RESOLVER_START_DATA to set a user pointer to pass to the resolver start callback. Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2311
2018-02-21lib: CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT => CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT_MSJay Satiro
- In keeping with the naming of our other connect timeout options rename CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT to CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT_MS. This change adds the _MS suffix since the option expects milliseconds. This is more intuitive for our users since other connect timeout options that expect milliseconds use _MS such as CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT_MS, CURLOPT_ACCEPTTIMEOUT_MS. The tool option already uses an -ms suffix, --happy-eyeballs-timeout-ms. Follow-up to 2427d94 which added the lib and tool option yesterday. Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2260
2018-02-20url: Add option CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUTAnders Bakken
- Add new option CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT to set libcurl's happy eyeball timeout value. - Add new optval macro CURL_HET_DEFAULT to represent the default happy eyeballs timeout value (currently 200 ms). - Add new tool option --happy-eyeballs-timeout-ms to expose CURLOPT_HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT. The -ms suffix is used because the other -timeout options in the tool expect seconds not milliseconds. Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2260

2017-08-17ssh: add the ability to enable compression (for SCP/SFTP)Viktor Szakats
The required low-level logic was already available as part of `libssh2` (via `LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS` `libssh2_session_flag()`[1] option.) This patch adds the new `libcurl` option `CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION` (boolean) and the new `curl` command-line option `--compressed-ssh` to request this `libssh2` feature. To have compression enabled, it is required that the SSH server supports a (zlib) compatible compression method and that `libssh2` was built with `zlib` support enabled.

2017-06-28CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH: allowed methods for SOCKS5 proxy authKamil Dudka
If libcurl was built with GSS-API support, it unconditionally advertised GSS-API authentication while connecting to a SOCKS5 proxy. This caused problems in environments with improperly configured Kerberos: a stock libcurl failed to connect, despite libcurl built without GSS-API connected fine using username and password. This commit introduces the CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH option to control the allowed methods for SOCKS5 authentication at run time. Note that a new option was preferred over reusing CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH for compatibility reasons because the set of authentication methods allowed by default was different for HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies. Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2017-01/0005.html Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1454
2017-06-21--request-target: instead of --strip-path-slashDaniel Stenberg
... and CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET instead of CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASH. This option instead provides the full "alternative" target to use in the request, instead of extracting the path from the URL.

2017-03-12url: add option CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERSDesmond O. Chang
- Add new option CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS to allow suppressing proxy CONNECT response headers from the user callback functions CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION and CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION. - Add new tool option --suppress-connect-headers to expose CURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS and allow suppressing proxy CONNECT response headers from --dump-header and --include.

2017-01-19CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE: support enlarging receive bufferRichy Kim
Replace use of fixed macro BUFSIZE to define the size of the receive buffer. Reappropriate CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE to include enlarging receive buffer size. Upon setting, resize buffer if larger than the current default size up to a MAX_BUFSIZE (512KB). This can benefit protocols like SFTP. Closes #1222
2017-01-13unix_socket: add support for abstract unix domain socketIsaac Boukris
In addition to unix domain sockets, Linux also supports an abstract namespace which is independent of the filesystem. In order to support it, add new CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET option which uses the same storage as CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH internally, along with a flag to specify abstract socket. On non-supporting platforms, the abstract address will be interpreted as an empty string and fail gracefully. Also add new --abstract-unix-socket tool parameter.

2016-11-24proxy: Support HTTPS proxy and SOCKS+HTTP(s)Alex Rousskov
* HTTPS proxies: An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection. Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests (including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text. With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_ SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server (through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions as well. A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO): --proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against --proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against --proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password --proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG) --proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use --proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file --proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs --proxy-key KEY Private key file name --proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG) --proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key --proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop --proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2 --proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3 --proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1 --proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username --proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password --proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP) All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts, except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath which defaults to --capath. Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable, similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable. Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS. * A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination: If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options. Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.

2016-02-23TFTP: add option to suppress TFTP option requests (Part 1)Michael Koenig
Some TFTP server implementations ignore the "TFTP Option extension" (RFC 1782-1784, 2347-2349), or implement it in a flawed way, causing problems with libcurl. Another switch for curl_easy_setopt "CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS" is introduced which prevents libcurl from sending TFTP option requests to a server, avoiding many problems caused by faulty implementations.

- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default protocol for schemeless URLs. - Add new tool option --proto-default to expose CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL. In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way: When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default. When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.

2014-12-04libcurl: add UNIX domain sockets supportPeter Wu
The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX domain socket. One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket. Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library). This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro. A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies). A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option (ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a feature/component that should easily be available.
