2017-09-04examples/post-callback: stop returning one byte at a timeDaniel Stenberg
... since people copy and paste code from this example and thus they get an inefficient POST operation without a good reason and sometimes without understanding why. Instead this now returns as much data as possible.
2017-09-04docs: curl_mime_*.3 man page formatting editsDaniel Stenberg
2017-09-03mime: use size_t instead of ssize_t in public API interface.Patrick Monnerat
To support telling a string is nul-terminated, symbol CURL_ZERO_TERMINATED has been introduced. Documentation updated accordingly. symbols in versions updated. Added form API symbols deprecation info.
2017-09-03mime: remove support "-" stdin pseudo-file name in curl_mime_filedata().Patrick Monnerat
This feature is badly supported in Windows: as a replacement, a caller has to use curl_mime_data_cb() with fread, fseek and possibly fclose callbacks to process opened files. The cli tool and documentation are updated accordingly. The feature is however kept internally for form API compatibility, with the known caveats it always had. As a side effect, stdin size is not determined by the cli tool even if possible and this results in a chunked transfer encoding. Test 173 is updated accordingly.
2017-09-02mime: tests and examples.Patrick Monnerat
Additional mime-specific tests. Existing tests updated to reflect small differences (Expect: 100-continue, data size change due to empty lines, etc). Option -F headers= keyword added to tests. test1135 disabled until the entry point order change is resolved. New example smtp-mime. Examples postit2 and multi-post converted from form API to mime API.
2017-09-02mime: use in curl cli tool instead of form API.Patrick Monnerat
Extended -F option syntax to support multipart mail messages. -F keyword headers= added to include custom headers in parts. Documentation upgraded.
2017-09-02mime: new MIME API.Patrick Monnerat
Available in HTTP, SMTP and IMAP. Deprecates the FORM API. See CURLOPT_MIMEPOST. Lib code and associated documentation.

2017-08-28vtls: introduce curl_global_sslset()Johannes Schindelin
Let's add a compile time safe API to select an SSL backend. This function needs to be called *before* curl_global_init(), and can be called only once. Side note: we do not explicitly test that it is called before curl_global_init(), but we do verify that it is not called multiple times (even implicitly). If SSL is used before the function was called, it will use whatever the CURL_SSL_BACKEND environment variable says (or default to the first available SSL backend), and if a subsequent call to curl_global_sslset() disagrees with the previous choice, it will fail with CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE. The function also accepts an "avail" parameter to point to a (read-only) NULL-terminated list of available backends. This comes in real handy if an application wants to let the user choose between whatever SSL backends the currently available libcurl has to offer: simply call curl_global_sslset(-1, NULL, &avail); which will return CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and populate the avail variable to point to the relevant information to present to the user. Just like with the HTTP/2 push functions, we have to add the function declaration of curl_global_sslset() function to the header file *multi.h* because VMS and OS/400 require a stable order of functions declared in include/curl/*.h (where the header files are sorted alphabetically). This looks a bit funny, but it cannot be helped. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

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.

2017-08-16examples/ftpuploadresume: checksrc complianceJay Satiro
2017-08-15progress: Track total times following redirectsRyan Winograd
Update the progress timers `t_nslookup`, `t_connect`, `t_appconnect`, `t_pretransfer`, and `t_starttransfer` to track the total times for these activities when a redirect is followed. Previously, only the times for the most recent request would be tracked. Related changes: - Rename `Curl_pgrsResetTimesSizes` to `Curl_pgrsResetTransferSizes` now that the function only resets transfer sizes and no longer modifies any of the progress timers. - Add a bool to the `Progress` struct that is used to prevent double-counting `t_starttransfer` times. Added test case 1399. Fixes #522 and Known Bug 1.8 Closes #1602 Reported-by: joshhe on github
