Letting CMake figure out where libraries are located gives you full
paths. When generating libcurl.pc and curl-config, getting libraries as
full paths is unusual when one expects to get a list of -l<libname>.
To meet expectations, an effort is made to convert the full paths into
-l<libname>, possibly with -L<libdir> before it.

All CR and LF bytes should be stripped, as documented, and all other

Create ASCII version of manpage without nroff
- build src/tool_hugegelp.c from the ascii manpage
- move the the manpage and the ascii version build to docs/cmdline-opts
- remove all use of nroff from the build process
- should make the build entirely reproducible (by avoiding nroff)
- partly reverts 2620aa9 to build libcurl option man pages one by one
in cmake because the appveyor builds got all crazy until I did
The ASCII version of the manpage
- is built with gen.pl, just like the manpage is
- has a right-justified column making the appearance similar to the previous
version
- uses a 4-space indent per level (instead of the old version's 7)
- does not do hyphenation of words (which nroff does)
History
We first made the curl build use nroff for building the hugehelp file in
December 1998, for curl 5.2.
Closes#13047
- update client reader documentation
- client reader, add rewind capabilities
- tell creader to rewind on next start
- Curl_client_reset() will keep reader for future rewind if requested
- add Curl_client_cleanup() for freeing all resources independent of
rewinds
- add Curl_client_start() to trigger rewinds
- move rewind code from multi.c to sendf.c and make part of
"cr-in"'s implementation
- http, move the "resume_from" handling into the client readers
- the setup of a HTTP request is reshuffled to follow:
* determine method, target, auth negotiation
* install the client reader(s) for the request, including crlf
conversions and "chunked" encoding
* apply ranges to client reader
* concat request headers, upgrades, cookies, etc.
* complete request by determining Content-Length of installed
readers in combination with method
* send
- add methods for client readers to
* return the overall length they will generate (or -1 when unknown)
* return the amount of data on the CLIENT level, so that
expect-100 can decide if it want to apply itself
* set a "resume_from" offset or fail if unsupported
- struct HTTP has become largely empty now
- rename `Client_reader_*` to `Curl_creader_*`

- replace `Curl_read()`, `Curl_write()` and `Curl_nwrite()` to
clarify when and at what level they operate
- send/recv of transfer related data is now done via
`Curl_xfer_send()/Curl_xfer_recv()` which no longer has
socket/socketindex as parameter. It decides on the transfer
setup of `conn->sockfd` and `conn->writesockfd` on which
connection filter chain to operate.
- send/recv on a specific connection filter chain is done via
`Curl_conn_send()/Curl_conn_recv()` which get the socket index
as parameter.
- rename `Curl_setup_transfer()` to `Curl_xfer_setup()` for
naming consistency
- clarify that the special CURLE_AGAIN hangling to return
`CURLE_OK` with length 0 only applies to `Curl_xfer_send()`
and CURLE_AGAIN is returned by all other send() variants.
- fix a bug in websocket `curl_ws_recv()` that mixed up data
when it arrived in more than a single chunk (to be made
into a sperate PR, also)
Added as documented [in
CLIENT-READER.md](5b1f31dfba/docs/CLIENT-READERS.md).
- old `Curl_buffer_send()` completely replaced by new `Curl_req_send()`
- old `Curl_fillreadbuffer()` replaced with `Curl_client_read()`
- HTTP chunked uploads are now formatted in a client reader added when
needed.
- FTP line-end conversions are done in a client reader added when
needed.
- when sending requests headers, remaining buffer space is filled with
body data for sending in "one go". This is independent of the request
body size. Resolves#12938 as now small and large requests have the
same code path.
Changes done to test cases:
- test513: now fails before sending request headers as this initial
"client read" triggers the setup fault. Behaves now the same as in
hyper build
- test547, test555, test1620: fix the length check in the lib code to
only fail for reads *smaller* than expected. This was a bug in the
test code that never triggered in the old implementation.

curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.

things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the

* GET requests will send the indicator that they have

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

The current design of the Hyper integration requires rebuilding the
Hyper clientconn for each request. However, building the clientconn
requires resending the HTTP/2 connection preface, which is incorrect
from a protocol perspective. That in turn causes servers to send GOAWAY
frames, effectively degrading performance to "no connection reuse" in
the best case. It may also be triggering some bugs where requests get
dropped entirely and reconnects take too long.
This doesn't rule out HTTP/2 support with Hyper, but it may take a
redesign of the Hyper integration in order to make things work.
