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.

Added the initial version of curl_sasl_gssapi.c and updated the project
files in preparation for adding GSS-API based Kerberos V5 support.

This patch updates the documentation for the SMB/CIFS protocol.

Added the necessary protocol and port definitions in order to support
SMB/CIFS.

Makes the example much easier and straight-forward!

Prior to this change when no file descriptors were ready on platforms
other than Windows the multi examples would sleep whatever was in
timeout, which may or may not have been less than the minimum
recommended value [1] of 100ms.

Windows does not support using select() for sleeping without a dummy
socket. Instead use Windows' Sleep() and sleep for 100ms which is the
minimum suggested value in the curl_multi_fdset() doc.
Prior to this change the multi examples would exit prematurely since
select() would error instead of sleeping when called without an fd.

Reworked the two sections that discuss modifying the Visual Studio pre-
processor settings, and vc6libcurl.dsw/vc6libcurl.dsp, to remove the
project files references as they have been superseded by a more thorough
set of project files for VC6 through VC12, but to also give the correct
reference to this setting in later versions of Visual Studio.

docs/THANKS-filter is a new filter file for converting contributor names
we get or have recorded in alternative formats to the one we already use
in THANKS. To help us show individual contributors using a single
presentation of their names.
|
|
|
|
The removed names also appear as:
Andrés García, François Charlier, Gökhan Şengün, Michał Górny, Sébastien
Willemijns, Christopher Conroy, John E. Malmberg, Luca Altea, Peter Su,
S. Moonesamy, Samuel Listopad, Yasuharu Yamada, Karl Moerder

./contributors.sh found these extra ones that somehow had fallen
through the cracks and never gotten added here.

As implementations are refereed to GSS-API libraries as per the RFC and
GSSAPI typically refers to the SASL authentication mechanism.
...and minor rewording on the same paragraph.
|
|
|
|
... instead of duplicating info.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
...and removed duplication of what protocols are supported from the
description text.
|
|
|
|
...and revised the proxy wording a little as well.
|
|
...and corrected a related typo in curl_easy_setopt.3.
|
|
As this has been present for SOCKSv5 proxy since v7.19.4 and for IMAP,
POP3 and SMTP authentication since v7.38.0.
|
|
Support for Kerberos V4 was removed in v7.33.0.
|
|
|
|
As this is covered by the PROTOCOLS section and saves having to update
two parts of the document with the same information in future.
|

As implementations are refereed to GSS-API libraries as per the RFC and
GSSAPI typically refers to an authentication mechanism.
|
|
Added missing IMAP to the protocol list.
