2013-07-29curl_easy_pause: on unpause, trigger mulit-socket handlingDaniel Stenberg
When the multi-socket API is used, we need the handle to be checked again when it gets unpaused. Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2013-07/0239.html Reported-by: Justin Karneges
2013-07-18CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION: introducing a new progress callbackDaniel Stenberg
CURLOPT_XFERINFOFUNCTION is now the preferred progress callback function and CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION is considered deprecated. This new callback uses pure 'curl_off_t' arguments to pass on full resolution sizes. It otherwise retains the same characteristics: the same call rate, the same meanings for the arguments and the return code is used the same way. The progressfunc.c example is updated to show how to use the new callback for newer libcurls while supporting the older one if built with an older libcurl or even built with a newer libcurl while running with an older.

Also added a (correctly-escaped) backslash to the autoexec.bat example file and a new Windows character device name with a colon as examples of other characters that are special and potentially dangerous (this reverts and reworks commit 7d8d2a54).
2013-06-03curl_multi_wait: reduce timeout if the multi handle wants toDaniel Stenberg
If the multi handle's pending timeout is less than what is passed into this function, it will now opt to use the shorter time anyway since it is a very good hint that the handle wants to process something in a shorter time than what otherwise would happen. curl_multi_wait.3 was updated accordingly to clarify This is the reason for bug #1224 Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1224 Reported-by: Andrii Moiseiev

2013-04-27darwinssl: add TLS crypto authenticationNick Zitzmann
Users using the Secure Transport (darwinssl) back-end can now use a certificate and private key to authenticate with a site using TLS. Because Apple's security system is based around the keychain and does not have any non-public function to create a SecIdentityRef data structure from data loaded outside of the Keychain, the certificate and private key have to be loaded into the Keychain first (using the certtool command line tool or the Security framework's C API) before we can find it and use it.

2013-03-13Multiple pipelines and limiting the number of connections.Linus Nielsen Feltzing
Introducing a number of options to the multi interface that allows for multiple pipelines to the same host, in order to optimize the balance between the penalty for opening new connections and the potential pipelining latency. Two new options for limiting the number of connections: CURLMOPT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of running connections to the same host. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit, that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is finished, so we can reuse the connection. CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS - Limits the number of connections in total. When adding a handle that exceeds this limit, that handle will be put in a pending state until another handle is finished. The free connection will then be reused, if possible, or closed if the pending handle can't reuse it. Several new options for pipelining: CURLMOPT_MAX_PIPELINE_LENGTH - Limits the pipeling length. If a pipeline is "full" when a connection is to be reused, a new connection will be opened if the CURLMOPT_MAX_xxx_CONNECTIONS limits allow it. If not, the handle will be put in a pending state until a connection is ready (either free or a pipe got shorter). CURLMOPT_CONTENT_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not be reused if it is currently processing a transfer with a content length that is larger than this. CURLMOPT_CHUNK_LENGTH_PENALTY_SIZE - A pipelined connection will not be reused if it is currently processing a chunk larger than this. CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SITE_BL - A blacklist of hosts that don't allow pipelining. CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - A blacklist of server types that don't allow pipelining. See the curl_multi_setopt() man page for details.
2013-03-12curl_global_init: accept the CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR flagZdenek Pavlas
The flag can be used in pycurl-based applications where using the multi interface would not be acceptable because of the performance lost caused by implementing the select() loop in python. Bug: http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1168 Downstream Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/919127

2013-02-22libcurl documentation: clarifications and typosAlexander Klauer
* Elaborates on default values of some curl_easy_setopt() options. * Reminds the user to cast variadic arguments to curl_easy_setopt() to 'void *' where curl internally interprets them as such. * Clarifies the working of the CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION option for curl_easy_setopt(). * Fixes typo 'forth' → 'fourth'. * Elaborates on CURL_SOCKET_TIMEOUT. * Adds some missing periods. * Notes that the return value of curl_version() must not be passed to free().

2012-11-06CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST: stop supporting the 1 valueDaniel Stenberg
After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and will make libcurl return error for it. 1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly this way. 1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup makes the treatment of it unified. The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this particular option. I sympathize with that position. [1] = http://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2012/10/25/libcurl-claimed-to-be-dangerous/
2012-10-09curl_multi_wait: no wait if no descriptors to wait forDaniel Stenberg
This is a minor change in behavior after having been pointed out by Mark Tully and discussed on the list. Initially this case would internally call poll() with no sockets and a timeout which would equal a sleep for that specified time.
