2020-01-05docs: mention CURL_MAX_INPUT_LENGTH restrictionsDaniel Stenberg
... for curl_easy_setopt() and curl_url_set(). [skip ci] Closes #4783
2019-08-09CURLOPT_H3: removedDaniel Stenberg
There's no use for this anymore and it was never in a release. Closes #4206
2019-08-06sasl: Implement SASL authorisation identity via CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZIDSteve Holme
Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation identity (authzid), the identity to act as, in addition to the authentication identity (authcid) and password when using SASL PLAIN authentication. Fixes #3653 Closes #3790 NOTE: This commit was cherry-picked and is part of a series of commits that added the authzid feature for upcoming 7.66.0. The series was temporarily reverted in db8ec1f so that it would not ship in a 7.65.x patch release. Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4186
2019-07-21HTTP3: initial (experimental) supportDaniel Stenberg
USe configure --with-ngtcp2 or --with-quiche Using either option will enable a HTTP3 build. Co-authored-by: Alessandro Ghedini <alessandro@ghedini.me> Closes #3500
2019-05-25Revert all SASL authzid (new feature) commitsJay Satiro
- Revert all commits related to the SASL authzid feature since the next release will be a patch release, 7.65.1. Prior to this change CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID / --sasl-authzid was destined for the next release, assuming it would be a feature release 7.66.0. However instead the next release will be a patch release, 7.65.1 and will not contain any new features. After the patch release after the reverted commits can be restored by using cherry-pick: git cherry-pick a14d72c a9499ff 8c1cc36 c2a8d52 0edf690 Details for all reverted commits: Revert "os400: take care of CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID in curl_easy_setopt_ccsid()." This reverts commit 0edf6907ae37e2020722e6f61229d8ec64095b0a. Revert "tests: Fix the line endings for the SASL alt-auth tests" This reverts commit c2a8d52a1356a722ff9f4aeb983cd4eaf80ef221.

2019-04-21CURLOPT_MAXAGE_CONN: set the maximum allowed age for conn reuseDaniel Stenberg
... and disconnect too old ones instead of trying to reuse. Default max age is set to 118 seconds. Ref: #3722 Closes #3782
2019-03-03alt-svc: the libcurl bitsDaniel Stenberg
2018-12-21http: added options for allowing HTTP/0.9 responsesDaniel Stenberg
Added CURLOPT_HTTP09_ALLOWED and --http0.9 for this purpose. For now, both the tool and library allow HTTP/0.9 by default. docs/DEPRECATE.md lays out the plan for when to reverse that default: 6 months after the 7.64.0 release. The options are added already now so that applications/scripts can start using them already now. Fixes #2873 Closes #3383
2018-12-14http: Implement trailing headers for chunked transfersAyoub Boudhar
This adds the CURLOPT_TRAILERDATA and CURLOPT_TRAILERFUNCTION options that allow a callback based approach to sending trailing headers with chunked transfers. The test server (sws) was updated to take into account the detection of the end of transfer in the case of trailing headers presence. Test 1591 checks that trailing headers can be sent using libcurl. Closes #3350
2018-11-09setopt: add CURLOPT_CURLUJim Fuller
Allows an application to pass in a pre-parsed URL via a URL handle. Closes #3227
2018-09-07curl_easy_upkeep: removed 'conn' from the nameDaniel Stenberg
... including the associated option. Fixes #2951 Closes #2952
2018-09-07upkeep: add a connection upkeep API: curl_easy_conn_upkeep()Max Dymond
Add functionality so that protocols can do custom keepalive on their connections, when an external API function is called. Add docs for the new options in 7.62.0 Closes #1641
2018-09-06CURLOPT_UPLOAD_BUFFERSIZE: set upload buffer sizeDaniel Stenberg

2018-05-31option: disallow username in URLBjörn Stenberg
Adds CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL and --disallow-username-in-url. Makes libcurl reject URLs with a username in them. Closes #2340
2018-05-29setopt: add TLS 1.3 ciphersuitesDaniel Stenberg
Adds CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS and CURLOPT_PROXY_TLS13_CIPHERS. curl: added --tls13-ciphers and --proxy-tls13-ciphers Fixes #2435 Reported-by: zzq1015 on github Closes #2607

2018-04-17docs: fix typosJakub Wilk
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2503
2018-03-17resolve: add CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSESRick Deist
This patch adds CURLOPT_DNS_SHUFFLE_ADDRESSES to explicitly request shuffling of IP addresses returned for a hostname when there is more than one. This is useful when the application knows that a round robin approach is appropriate and is willing to accept the consequences of potentially discarding some preference order returned by the system's implementation. Closes #1694
2018-03-17CURLOPT_HAPROXYPROTOCOL: support the HAProxy PROXY protocolLawrence Matthews
Add --haproxy-protocol for the command line tool Closes #2162
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
2018-01-30time: support > year 2038 time stamps for system with 32bit longDaniel Stenberg
... with the introduction of CURLOPT_TIMEVALUE_LARGE and CURLINFO_FILETIME_T. Fixes #2238 Closes #2264

Available in HTTP, SMTP and IMAP. Deprecates the FORM API. See CURLOPT_MIMEPOST. Lib code and associated documentation.
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. Test 1298 and 1299 updated accordingly. Idea-by: Evert Pot Suggestion: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2017/06/19/options-with-curl/comment-page-1/#comment-18373 Closes #1593
2017-06-19http: add --strip-path-slash and CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASHDaniel Stenberg
... to enable sending "OPTIONS *" which wasn't possible previously. This option currently only works for HTTP. Added test cases 1298 + 1299 to verify Fixes #1280 Closes #1462
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. Assisted-by: Jay Satiro Assisted-by: CarloCannas@users.noreply.github.com Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/783
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.
2016-09-22New libcurl option to keep sending on errorMichael Kaufmann

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.

2015-08-22CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL: addedNathaniel Waisbrot
- 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'.
