Simplify making clean builds by silencing deprecation warnings inside
the example code where these may occur.
Drop related build tweaks/comments from GHA jobs.
Example warning:
```
curl/docs/examples/postit2-formadd.c:65:16: error: 'CURLFORM_COPYNAME' is deprecated: since 7.56.0. Use curl_mime_name() [-Werror=deprecated-declarations]

Option cleanups:
--get is not upload
--form* are post
- added several options into ldap, smtp, imap and pop3
- shortened the category descriptions in the list
category curl fixes:
--create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--ftp-create-dirs removed from 'curl'
--netrc moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-file moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--netrc-optional moved to 'auth' from 'curl'
--no-buffer moved to 'output' from 'curl'
--no-clobber removed from 'curl'
--output removed from 'curl'
--output-dir removed from 'curl'
--remove-on-error removed from 'curl'
Add a "global" category:
- Made all "global" options set this category
Add a "deprecated" category:
- Moved the deprecated options to it (maybe they should not be in any
category long term)
Add a 'timeout' category
- Put a number of appropriate options in it
Add an 'ldap' category
- Put the LDAP related option in there
Remove categories "ECH" and "ipfs"
- They should not be categories. Had only one single option each.
Remove category "misc"
- It should not be a category as it is impossible to know when to browse
it.
--use-ascii moved to ftp and output
--xattr moved to output
--service-name moved to auth
Managen fixes:
- errors if an option is given a category name that is not already setup
for in code
- verifies that options set `scope: global` also is put in category
`global´
Closes#14101
Also mention in HTTP3.md
OpenSSL has a bug that messes the config `--libdir=path` to become the
wrong path in its pkgconfig files. If we just pass `--libdir=lib` it
should avoid this.
Ref: #14099

- Add --output, --remove-on-error, --output-dir and --created-dirs to
the output help category
- Add --hostpubmd5, --hostpubsha256, --insecure (-k), and --pubkey to
the ssh help category
Closes#14076
GnuTLS todo item about using an equivalent of `SSL_peak()`, which
nicely escaped the word checks, is no longer relevant.
We do not use `SSL_peek()` anymore since connection filters were
introduced.
Closes#14091
Based on the standards and guidelines we use for our documentation.
- expand contractions (they're => they are etc)
- host name = > hostname
- file name => filename
- user name = username
- man page => manpage
- run-time => runtime
- set-up => setup
- back-end => backend
- a HTTP => an HTTP
- Two spaces after a period => one space after period
Closes#14073
Previously this was one single manpage for two functions but as they are
two separate ones since a while back, they should each clearly document
their single specific functions.
Follow-up to eefcc1bda4Closes#14068
- use imperative form
- use lowercase
- no period
- unify some phrases
- fix curl_multi_socket and curl_multi_socket_all to keep their own
descriptions
Closes#14062
These have lingered in the issue tracker for a long time without action.
We don't expect any fixes in the near term either. Move them to the
KNOWN_BUGS document.
Closes#12177Closes#12171Closes#13350Closes#14042
Fix issues detected.
Also:
- One of the `.vc` files used LF EOLs, while the other didn't.
Make that one also use LF EOLs, as this is apparently supported by
`nmake`.
- Drop `.dsw` and `.btn` types from `.gitattributes`.
The repository doesn't use them.
- Sync section order with the rest of files in
`tests/certs/EdelCurlRoot-ca.prm`.
- Indent/align `.prm` and `.pem` files.
- Delete dummy `[something]` section from `.prm` and `.pem` files.
Mental note:
MSVC `.sln` files seem to accept spaces for indentation and also support
LF line-endings. I cannot test this and I don't know what's more
convenient when updating them, so left them as-is, with specific
exclusions.
Closes#14031
When libcurl discards a connection there are two phases this may go
through: "shutdown" and "closing". If a connection is aborted, the
shutdown phase is skipped and it is closed right away.
The connection filters attached to the connection implement the phases
in their `do_shutdown()` and `do_close()` callbacks. Filters carry now a
`shutdown` flags next to `connected` to keep track of the shutdown
operation.
Filters are shut down from top to bottom. If a filter is not connected,
its shutdown is skipped. Notable filters that *do* something during
shutdown are HTTP/2 and TLS. HTTP/2 sends the GOAWAY frame. TLS sends
its close notify and expects to receive a close notify from the server.
As sends and receives may EAGAIN on the network, a shutdown is often not
successful right away and needs to poll the connection's socket(s). To
facilitate this, such connections are placed on a new shutdown list
inside the connection cache.
Since managing this list requires the cooperation of a multi handle,
only the connection cache belonging to a multi handle is used. If a
connection was in another cache when being discarded, it is removed
there and added to the multi's cache. If no multi handle is available at
that time, the connection is shutdown and closed in a one-time,
best-effort attempt.
When a multi handle is destroyed, all connection still on the shutdown
list are discarded with a final shutdown attempt and close. In curl
debug builds, the environment variable `CURL_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN` can be
set to make this graceful with a timeout in milliseconds given by the
variable.
The shutdown list is limited to the max number of connections configured
for a multi cache. Set via CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the
limit is reached, the oldest connection on the shutdown list is
discarded.
- In multi_wait() and multi_waitfds(), collect all connection caches
involved (each transfer might carry its own) into a temporary list.
Let each connection cache on the list contribute sockets and
POLLIN/OUT events it's connections are waiting for.
- in multi_perform() collect the connection caches the same way and let
them peform their maintenance. This will make another non-blocking
attempt to shutdown all connections on its shutdown list.
- for event based multis (multi->socket_cb set), add the sockets and
their poll events via the callback. When `multi_socket()` is invoked
for a socket not known by an active transfer, forward this to the
multi's cache for processing. On closing a connection, remove its
socket(s) via the callback.
TLS connection filters MUST NOT send close nofity messages in their
`do_close()` implementation. The reason is that a TLS close notify
signals a success. When a connection is aborted and skips its shutdown
phase, the server needs to see a missing close notify to detect
something has gone wrong.
A graceful shutdown of FTP's data connection is performed implicitly
before regarding the upload/download as complete and continuing on the
control connection. For FTP without TLS, there is just the socket close
happening. But with TLS, the sent/received close notify signals that the
transfer is complete and healthy. Servers like `vsftpd` verify that and
reject uploads without a TLS close notify.
- added test_19_* for shutdown related tests
- test_19_01 and test_19_02 test for TCP RST packets
which happen without a graceful shutdown and should
no longer appear otherwise.
- add test_19_03 for handling shutdowns by the server
- add test_19_04 for handling shutdowns by curl
- add test_19_05 for event based shutdowny by server
- add test_30_06/07 and test_31_06/07 for shutdown checks
on FTP up- and downloads.
Closes#13976
- up the limit: remove all mentions of 7.60 or earlier from manpage
7.60 is 6 years old now.
- warn on "broken" added in lines, as they avoid detection
- fixup added in markup in a few curldown files
Closes#14002
Support "curl -h --insecure" etc to output the manpage section for the
--insecure command line option in the terminal. Should be possible to
work with either long or short versions of command line options.
Closes#13990
If a malicious server can trigger a NULL dereference in curl or
otherwise cause curl to crash (and nothing worse), chances are big that
we do not consider that a security problem.
Closes#13974
There are a places where man pages reference deprecated CURLOPT options,
where it doesn't make sense, replace them with the reccomended
replacement option.
also remove reference to the removed mesalink TLS backend
Closes#13951
