The threee tags `<name>`, `</name>` and `<command>` were frequently used
with a leading space that this removes. The reason this habbit is so
widespread in testcases is probably that they have been copy and pasted.
Hence, fixing them all now might curb this practice from now on.
Closes#12028
Generate alphanumerical random strings.
Prior this change curl used to create random hex strings. This was
mostly okay, but having alphanumerical random strings is better: The
strings have more entropy in the same space.
The MIME multipart boundary used to be mere 64-bits of randomness due
to being 16 hex chars. With these changes the boundary is 22
alphanumerical chars, or little over 130 bits of randomness.
Closes#11838
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.
When doing multi-part formposts, libcurl used a pseudo-random value that
was seeded with time(). This turns out to be bad for users who formpost
data that is provided with users who then can guess how the boundary
string will look like and then they can forge a different formpost part
and trick the receiver.
My advice to such implementors is (still even after this change) to not
rely on the boundary strings being cryptographically strong. Fix your
code and logic to not depend on them that much!
I moved the Curl_rand() function into the sslgen.c source file now to be
able to take advantage of the SSL library's random function if it
provides one. If not, try to use the RANDOM_FILE for seeding and as a
last resort keep the old logic, just modified to also add microseconds
which makes it harder to properly guess the exact seed.
The formboundary() function in formdata.c is now using 64 bit entropy
for the boundary and therefore the string of dashes was reduced by 4
letters and there are 16 hex digits following it. The total length is
thus still the same.

are not, due mainly to the lack of support for XML character entities
(e.g. & => & ). This will make it easier to validate test files using
tools like xmllint, as well as edit and view them using XML tools.
A) Normal non-proxy HTTP:
- no more "Pragma: no-cache" (this only makes sense to proxies)
B) Non-CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Pragma: no-cache" is used (like before)
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive" (for older style 1.0-proxies)
C) CONNECT HTTP request over proxy:
- "Host: [name]:[port]"
- "Proxy-Connection: Keep-alive"
no fixed port numbers in use anymore. Starting now, the default ports the
servers use are 8990 - 8993. There's no option to modify these yet, but
changing the $base option in the top of the runtests.pl script.
