2018-08-24docs: clarify NO_PROXY env variable functionalityDaniel Stenberg
Reported-by: Kirill Marchuk Fixes #2773 Closes #2911
2018-08-23libcurl-thread.3: expand somewhat on the NO_SIGNAL motivationDaniel Stenberg
Multi-threaded applictions basically MUST set CURLOPT_NO_SIGNAL to 1L to avoid the risk of getting a SIGPIPE. Either way, a multi-threaded application that uses libcurl/openssl needs to have a signhandler for or ignore SIGPIPE on its own. Based on discussions in #2800 Closes #2904
2018-08-11docs: Improve the manual pages of some callbacksMichael Kaufmann
- CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION: add newlines - CURLOPT_INTERLEAVEFUNCTION: fix the description of 'userdata' - CURLOPT_READDATA: mention crashes, same as in CURLOPT_WRITEDATA - CURLOPT_READFUNCTION: rename 'instream' to 'userdata' and explain how to set it Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2868
2018-08-10Documentation: fix CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION copy/paste bugDaniel Jelinski
Closes #2867
2018-08-10docs: mention NULL is fine input to several functionsDaniel Stenberg
Fixes #2837 Closes #2858 Reported-by: Markus Elfring
2018-07-26docs/CURLOPT_URL: fix indentationChristopher Head
The statement, “The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option,” appears to be indented under the RTMP paragraph. It actually applies to all protocols, not just RTMP. Eliminate the extra indentation. Closes #2788
2018-07-26docs/CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION: size is always 1Christopher Head
For compatibility with `fwrite`, the `CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION` callback is passed two `size_t` parameters which, when multiplied, designate the number of bytes of data passed in. In practice, CURL always sets the first parameter (`size`) to 1. This practice is also enshrined in documentation and cannot be changed in future. The documentation states that the default callback is `fwrite`, which means `fwrite` must be a suitable function for this purpose. However, the documentation also states that the callback must return the number of *bytes* it successfully handled, whereas ISO C `fwrite` returns the number of items (each of size `size`) which it wrote. The only way these numbers can be equal is if `size` is 1. Since `size` is 1 and can never be changed in future anyway, document that fact explicitly and let users rely on it. Closes #2787
2018-06-30docs: fix missed option name markupsDaniel Stenberg
2018-06-29openssl: make the requested TLS version the *minimum* wantedDaniel Stenberg
The code treated the set version as the *exact* version to require in the TLS handshake, which is not what other TLS backends do and probably not what most people expect either. Reported-by: Andreas Olsson Assisted-by: Gaurav Malhotra Fixes #2691 Closes #2694
2018-06-28CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR.3: improve the exampleAdrian Peniak
The previous example was a little bit confusing, because SSL* structure (or other "in use" SSL connection pointer) is not accessible after the transfer is completed, therefore working with the raw TLS library specific pointer needs to be done during transfer. Closes #2690
2018-06-24CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.3: fix syntax mistakeDaniel Stenberg
Follow-up to b6a16afa0aa5
2018-06-23CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.3: Add performance notePatrick Schlangen
Closes #2673
2018-06-18CURLOPT_INTERFACE.3: interface names not supported on WindowsDaniel Stenberg
2018-06-15CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH.3: CURLAUTH_BEARER was added in 7.61.0Daniel Stenberg
2018-06-01CURLOPT_RESOLVE: always purge old entry firstAlibek.Jorajev
If there's an existing entry using the selected name. Closes #2622
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
2018-05-31libcurl-security.3: improved layout for two rememdy listsDaniel Stenberg
2018-05-31libcurl-security.3: refer to URL instead of in-source markdown fileDaniel Stenberg
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
2018-05-28psl: use latest psl and refresh it periodicallyPatrick Monnerat
The latest psl is cached in the multi or share handle. It is refreshed before use after 72 hours. New share lock CURL_LOCK_DATA_PSL controls the psl cache sharing. If the latest psl is not available, the builtin psl is used. Reported-by: Yaakov Selkowitz Fixes #2553 Closes #2601
2018-05-24httpauth: add support for Bearer tokensLinus Lewandowski
Closes #2102
2018-05-22CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING.3: add brotli and clarify a bitDaniel Stenberg
2018-05-21docs: clarify CURLOPT_HTTPGET somewhatDaniel Stenberg
Reported-by: bsammon on github Fixes #2590
2018-05-18curl_fnmatch: only allow two asterisks for matchingDaniel Stenberg
The previous limit of 5 can still end up in situation that takes a very long time and consumes a lot of CPU. If there is still a rare use case for this, a user can provide their own fnmatch callback for a version that allows a larger set of wildcards. This commit was triggered by yet another OSS-Fuzz timeout due to this. Bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=8369 Closes #2587
2018-05-18docs: mention HAproxy protocol "version 1"Aleks
...as there's also a version 2. Closes #2579
2018-05-17getinfo: add microsecond precise timers for various intervalsPhilip Prindeville
Provide a set of new timers that return the time intervals using integer number of microseconds instead of floats. The new info names are as following: CURLINFO_APPCONNECT_TIME_T CURLINFO_CONNECT_TIME_T CURLINFO_NAMELOOKUP_TIME_T CURLINFO_PRETRANSFER_TIME_T CURLINFO_REDIRECT_TIME_T CURLINFO_STARTTRANSFER_TIME_T CURLINFO_TOTAL_TIME_T Closes #2495
2018-05-15docs/libcurl/index.html: removedDaniel Stenberg
The HTML files are long gone from the dist, now remove the last HTML file pointing to those missing files. d
2018-05-05URLs: fix one more http urlDaniel Gustafsson
This file wasn't included in commit 4af40b3646d3b09 which updated all haxx.se http urls to https. The file was committed prior to that update, but may have been merged after it and hence didn't get updated. Closes #2550
2018-05-03docs: remove extraneous commas in man pagesDenis Ollier
Closes #2544

2018-04-23CURLOPT_SSLCERT.3: improve WinSSL-specific usage infoArchangel_SDY
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2376#issuecomment-381858780 Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2504
2018-04-18schannel: add support for CURLOPT_CAINFODan McNulty
- Move verify_certificate functionality in schannel.c into a new file called schannel_verify.c. Additionally, some structure defintions from schannel.c have been moved to schannel.h to allow them to be used in schannel_verify.c. - Make verify_certificate functionality for Schannel available on all versions of Windows instead of just Windows CE. verify_certificate will be invoked on Windows CE or when the user specifies CURLOPT_CAINFO and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER. - In verify_certificate, create a custom certificate chain engine that exclusively trusts the certificate store backed by the CURLOPT_CAINFO file. - doc updates of --cacert/CAINFO support for schannel - Use CERT_NAME_SEARCH_ALL_NAMES_FLAG when invoking CertGetNameString when available. This implements a TODO in schannel.c to improve handling of multiple SANs in a certificate. In particular, all SANs will now be searched instead of just the first name. - Update tool_operate.c to not search for the curl-ca-bundle.crt file when using Schannel to maintain backward compatibility. Previously, any curl-ca-bundle.crt file found in that search would have been ignored by Schannel. But, with CAINFO support, the file found by that search would have been used as the certificate store and could cause issues for any users that have curl-ca-bundle.crt in the search path. - Update url.c to not set the build time CURL_CA_BUNDLE if the selected SSL backend is Schannel. We allow setting CA location for schannel only when explicitly specified by the user via CURLOPT_CAINFO / --cacert. - Add new test cases 3000 and 3001. These test cases check that the first and last SAN, respectively, matches the connection hostname. New test certificates have been added for these cases. For 3000, the certificate prefix is Server-localhost-firstSAN and for 3001, the certificate prefix is Server-localhost-secondSAN. - Remove TODO 15.2 (Add support for custom server certificate validation), this commit addresses it. Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1325

2018-04-17schannel: add client certificate authenticationArchangel_SDY
Users can now specify a client certificate in system certificates store explicitly using expression like `--cert "CurrentUser\MY\<thumbprint>"` Closes #2376
2018-03-31docs: fix CURLINFO_*_T examples use of CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_TJay Satiro
- Put a percent sign before each CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T in printf. For example "%" CURL_FORMAT_CURL_OFF_T becomes %lld or similar. Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2018-03/0140.html Reported-by: David L.

Reported-by: Muz Dima
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
2018-03-17add_handle/easy_perform: clear errorbuffer on start if setDaniel Stenberg
To offer applications a more defined behavior, we clear the buffer as early as possible. Assisted-by: Jay Satiro Fixes #2190 Closes #2377

2018-02-23curl_share_setopt.3: connection cache is shared within multi handlesDaniel Stenberg
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
