This patch overhauls `Makefile.m32` scripts, fixing a list of quirks,
making its behaviour and customization envvars align better with other
build systems, aiming for less code, that is easier to read, use and
maintain.
Details:
- Rename customization envvars:
`CURL_CC` -> `CC`
`CURL_RC` -> `RC`
`CURL_AR` -> `AR`
`CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS_DLL` -> `CURL_LDFLAGS_LIB`
`CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS_EXE` -> `CURL_LDFLAGS_BIN`
- Drop `CURL_STRIP` and `CURL_RANLIB`. These tools are no longer used.
- Accept `CFLAGS`, `CPPFLAGS`, `RCFLAGS`, `LDFLAGS` and `LIBS` envvars.
- Drop `CURL_CFLAG_EXTRAS`, `CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS`, `CURL_RCFLAG_EXTRAS` in
favor of the above.
- Do not automatically enable `zlib` with `libssh2`. `zlib` is optional
with `libssh2`.
- Omit unnecessary `CPPFLAGS` options when building `curl.exe` and
examples.
- Drop support for deprecated `-winssl` `CFG` option. Use `-schannel`
instead.
- Avoid late evaluation where not necessary (`=` -> `:=`).
- Drop support for `CURL_DLL_A_SUFFIX` to override the implib suffix.
Instead, use the standard naming scheme by default: `libcurl.dll.a`.
The toolchain recognizes the name, and selects it automatically when
asking for a `-shared` vs. `-static` build.
- Stop applying `strip` to `libcurl.a`. Follow-up from
16a58e9f93. There was no debug info to
strip since then.
- Stop setting `-O3`, `-W`, `-Wall` options. You can add these to
`CFLAGS` as desired.
- Always enable `-DCURL_DISABLE_OPENSSL_AUTO_LOAD_CONFIG` with OpenSSL,
to avoid that vulnerability on Windows.
- Add `-lbrotlicommon` to `LIBS` when using `brotli`.
- Do not enable `-nghttp3` without `-ngtcp2`.
- `-ssh2` and `-rtmp` options no longer try to auto-select a TLS-backend.
You need to set the backend explicitly. This scales better and avoids
issues with certain combinations (e.g. `libssh2` + `wolfssl` with no
`schannel`).
- Default to OpenSSL TLS-backend with `ngtcp2`. Possible to override via
`NGTCP2_LIBS`.
- Old, alternate method of enabling components (e.g. `SSH2=1`) no longer
supported.
- Delete `SPNEGO` references. They were no-ops.
- Drop support for Win9x environments.
- Allow setting `OPENSSL_LIBS` independently from `OPENSSL_LIBPATH`.
- Support autotools/CMake `libssh2` builds by default.
- Respect `CURL_DLL_SUFFIX` in `-dyn` mode when building `curl.exe` and
examples.
- Assume standard directory layout with `LIBCARES_PATH`. (Instead of the
long gone embedded one.)
- Stop static linking with c-ares by default. Add
`CPPFLAGS=-DCARES_STATICLIB` to enable it.
- Reorganize internal layout to avoid redundancy and emit clean diffs
between src/lib and example make files.
- Delete unused variables.
- Code cleanups/rework.
- Comment and indentation fixes.
Closes#9632
- Drop auto-detection of OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier. Now always defaulting
to OpenSSL 1.1.0 and later, LibreSSL and BoringSSL.
- Drop `Invalid path to OpenSSL package` detection. OpenSSL has been
using a standard file layout since 1.1.0, so this seems unnecessary
now.
- Drop special logic to enable Novell LDAP SDK support.
- Drop special logic to enable OpenLDAP LDAP SDK support. This seems
to be distinct from native OpenLDAP, with support implemented inside
`lib/ldap.c` (vs. `lib/openldap.c`) back when the latter did not exist
yet in curl.
- Add `-lwldap32` only if there is no other LDAP library (either native
OpenLDAP, or SDKs above) present.
- Update `doc/INSTALL.md` accordingly.
After this patch, it's necessary to make configration changes when using
OpenSSL 1.0.2 or earlier, or the two LDAP SDKs.
OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier:
```
export OPENSSL_INCLUDE = <path-to-openssl>/outinc
export OPENSSL_LIBPATH = <path-to-openssl>/out
export OPENSSL_LIBS = -lssl32 -leay32 -lgdi32
```
Novell LDAP SDK, previously enabled via `USE_LDAP_NOVELL=1`:
```
export CURL_CFLAG_EXTRAS = -I<path-to-sdk>/inc -DCURL_HAS_NOVELL_LDAPSDK
export CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS = -L<path-to-sdk>/lib/mscvc -lldapsdk -lldapssl -lldapx
```
OpenLDAP LDAP SDK, previously enabled via `USE_LDAP_OPENLDAP=1`:
```
export CURL_CFLAG_EXTRAS = -I<path-to-sdk>/include -DCURL_HAS_OPENLDAP_LDAPSDK
export CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS = -L<path-to-sdk>/lib -lldap -llber
```
I haven't tested these scenarios, and in general we recommend using
a recent OpenSSL release. Also, WinLDAP (the Windows default) and
OpenLDAP (via `-DUSE_OPENLDAP`) are the LDAP options actively worked on
in curl.
Closes#9631
SourceForge projects can now choose between two hostnames, with .io and
.net ending. Both support HTTPS by default now. Opening the other variant
will perm-redirected to the one chosen by the project.
The .io -> .net redirection is done insecurely.
Let's update the URLs to point to the current canonical endpoints to
avoid any redirects.
Closes#9630
- Add `-lcrypt32` once, and add it always for simplicity.
- Delete broken link and reference to the pre-Vista WinIDN add-on.
MS no longer distribute it.
- Delete related `WINIDN_PATH` option. IDN is a system lib since Vista.
- Sync `LIBCARES_PATH` default with the rest of dependencies.
- Delete version numbers from dependency path defaults.
- `libgsasl` package is now called `gsasl`.
- Delete `libexpat` and `libxml2` references. No longer used by curl.
- Delete `Edit the path below...` comments. We recommend to predefine
those envvars instead.
- `libcares.a` is not an internal dependency anymore. Stop using it as
such.
- `windres` `--include-dir` -> `-I`, `-F` -> `--target=` for readability.
- Delete `STRIP`, `CURL_STRIP`, `AR` references from `src/Makefile.m32`.
They were never used.
- Stop to `clean` some objects twice in `src/Makefile.m32`.
- Delete cvs-specific leftovers.
- Finish resource support in examples make file.
- Delete `-I<root>/lib` from examples make file.
- Fix copyright start year in examples make file.
- Delete duplicate `ftpuploadresume` input in examples make file.
- Sync OpenSSL lib order, `SYNC` support, `PROOT` use, dependency path
defaults, variables names and other internal bits between the three
make files.
- `lib/Makefile.m32` accepted custom options via `DLL_LIBS` envvar. This
was lib-specific and possibly accidental. Use `CURL_LDFLAG_EXTRAS_DLL`
envvar for the same effect.
- Fix linking `curl.exe` and examples to wrong static libs with
auto-detected OpenSSL 1.0.2 or earlier.
- Add `-lgdi32` for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier only.
- Add link to Novell LDAP SDK and use a relative default path. Latest
version is from 2016, linked to an outdated OpenSSL 1.0.1.
- Whitespace and comment cleanups.
TODO in a next commit:
Delete built-in detection/logic for OpenSSL 1.0.2 and earlier, the Novell
LDAP SDK and the other LDAP SDK (which is _not_ OpenLDAP). Write up the
necessary custom envvars to configure them.
Closes#9616
The introduction of CURL_DISABLE_MIME came with some additional bugs:
- Disabled MIME is compiled-in anyway if SMTP and/or IMAP is enabled.
- CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are
conditioned on HTTP, although also needed for SMTP and IMAP MIME mail
uploads.
In addition, the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and --header documentation does not
mention their use for MIME mail.
This commit fixes the problems above.
Closes#9610
If curl_off_t turns out to be smaller than 8 bytes,
--with-n64-deprecated needs to be used to allow the build to
continue. This is to highlight the fact that support for such builds is
going away next year.
Also mentioned in DEPRECATED.md
Closes#9605
The example program chkspeed uses strncasecmp() which is not portable
across systems. Replace calls to this function by tests on characters.
Closes#9562
httpput-postfields.c:41:3: error: string length ‘522’ is greater than the length ‘509’ ISO C90 compilers are required to support [-Woverlength-strings]

This is how the RFC calls the protocol. Also rename the file in docs/ to
WEBSOCKET.md in uppercase to match how we have done it for many other
protocol docs in similar fashion.
Add the WebSocket docs to the tarball.
Closes#9496
Slightly faster with more robust code. Uses fewer and smaller mallocs.
- remove two fields from the URL handle struct
- reduce copies and allocs
- use dynbuf buffers more instead of custom malloc + copies
- uses dynbuf to build the host name in reduces serial alloc+free within
the same function.
- move dedotdotify into urlapi.c and make it static, not strdup the input
and optimize it by checking for . and / before using strncmp
- remove a few strlen() calls
- add Curl_dyn_setlen() that can "trim" an existing dynbuf
Closes#9408
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.
Closes#9307
Lintian (on Debian) has been complaining about this for a while but
I didn't bother initially as the groff parser that we use is not
affected by this.
But I have now noticed that the online manpage is affected by it:
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH.html
(I'm using double quotes for quoting-only down below)
The section that should be parsed as "'\'" ends up being parsed as
"'´".
This is due to roffit not parsing "'\\'" correctly, which is fine
as the "correct" way of writing "'\'" is "'\e'" instead.
Note that this fix is not enough to fix the online manpage at
curl's website, as roffit seems to parse it wrongly either way.
My intent is to at least fix the manpage so that roffit can
be changed to parse "'\e'" correctly (although I suggest making
roffit parse both ways correctly, since that's what groff does).
