The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.

If sws is killed it might leave a stale socket file on the filesystem
which would cause an EADDRINUSE error. After this patch, it is checked
whether the socket is really stale and if so, the socket file gets
removed and another bind is executed.

This extends sws with a --unix-socket option which causes the port to
be ignored (as the server now listens on the path specified by
--unix-socket). This feature will be available in the following patch
that enables checking for UNIX domain socket support.
Proxy support (CONNECT) is not considered nor tested. It does not make
sense anyway, first connecting through a TCP proxy, then let that TCP
proxy connect to a UNIX socket.

Instead of depending the socket domain type on use_ipv6, specify the
domain type (AF_INET / AF_INET6) as variable. An enum is used here with
switch to avoid compiler warnings in connect_to, complaining that rc
is possibly undefined (which is not possible as socket_domain is
always set).
Besides abstracting the socket type, make the debugging messages be
independent on IP (introduce location_str which points to "port XXXXX").
Rename "ipv_inuse" to "socket_type" and tighten the scope (main).

Fix detection of the AsynchDNS feature which not just depends on
pthreads support, but also on whether USE_POSIX_THREADS is set or not.
Caught by test 1014.
This patch adds a new ENABLE_THREADED_RESOLVER option (corresponding to
--enable-threaded-resolver of autotools) which also needs a check for
HAVE_PTHREAD_H.
For symmetry with autotools, CURL_USE_ARES is renamed to ENABLE_ARES
(--enable-ares). Checks that test for the availability actually use
USE_ARES instead as that is the result of whether a-res is available or
not (in practice this does not matter as CARES is marked as required
package, but nevertheless it is better to write the intent).

There is no need for such function. Include_directories propagate by
themselves and having a function with one simple link statement makes
little sense.
gcc spit out warning: variable 'x' might be clobbered by 'longjmp' or
'vfork' messages for a few variables. These automatic variables were
expected to be changed between a setjmp/longjmp and hold their values,
so are now marked volatile.
Since the previous complex select function with initial support for
non-socket file descriptors, did not actually work correctly for
Console handles, this change simplifies the whole procedure by using
an internal waiting thread for the stdin console handle.
The previous implementation made it continuously trigger for the stdin
handle if it was being redirected to a parent process instead of
an actual Console input window.
This approach supports actual Console input handles as well as
anonymous Pipe handles which are used during input redirection.
It depends on the fact that ReadFile supports trying to read zero bytes
which makes it wait for the handle to become ready for reading.
This reverts commit 7ed25cc, reinstating commit 8ec2cb5.
As of 18-jul-2013 we still do have code in libcurl that makes use of these
memory functions. Commit 8ec2cb5 comment still applies and is yet valid.
These memory functions are solely used in Windows builds, so all related
code is protected with '#ifdef WIN32' preprocessor conditional compilation
directives.
Specifically, wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used when building a Windows target with
UNICODE and USE_WINDOWS_SSPI preprocessor symbols defined. This is the case
when building a Windows UNICODE target with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled.
Realizing that wcsdup() _wcsdup() are used is a bit tricky given that usage
of these is hidden behind _tcsdup() which is MS way of dealing with code
that must tolerate UNICODE and non-UNICODE compilation. Additionally, MS
header files and those compatible from other compilers use this preprocessor
conditional compilation directive in order to select at compilation time
whether 'wide' or 'ansi' MS API functions are used.
Without this code, Windows build targets with Windows native SSL/TLS support
enabled and MemoryTracking support enabled misbehave in tracking memory usage,
regardless of being a UNICODE enabled build or not.
Fixed issue with static build for MSVC2010.
After some investigation I've discovered known issue
http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=11240 When .rc file is linked
to static lib it fails with following linker error
LINK : warning LNK4068: /MACHINE not specified; defaulting to X86
file.obj : fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'x64' conflicts with
target machine type 'X86'
Fix add target property /MACHINE: for MSVC generation.
Also removed old workarounds - it caused errors during msvc build.

If an ipv6-address is provided to CONNECT, the last hexadecimal group in
the address will be used as the test number! For example the address
"[1234::ff]" would be treated as test case 255.
This reverts commit 8ec2cb5544.
We don't have any code anywhere in libcurl (or the curl tool) that use
wcsdup so there's no such memory use to track. It seems to cause mild
problems with the Borland compiler though that we may avoid by reverting
this change again.

WINSOCK only:
Since FD_CLOSE is only signaled once, it may trigger at the same
time as FD_READ. Data actually being available makes it impossible
to detect that the connection was closed by checking that recv returns
zero. Another recv attempt could block the connection if it was
not closed. This workaround abuses exceptfds in conjunction with
readfds to signal that the connection has actually closed.
This workaround fixes an issue on MinGW/Msys regarding the Perl
testsuite scripts not being able to signal or control the server
processes. The MinGW Perl runtime only sees the Msys processes and
their corresponding PIDs, but sockfilt (and other servers) wrote the
Windows PID into their PID-files. Since this PID is useless to the
testsuite, the write_pidfile function was changed to search for the
Msys PID and write that into the PID-file.
The new read and write wrapper functions support reading from stdin
and writing to stdout/stderr on Windows by using the appropriate
Windows API functions and data types.
Modified sws to support and use custom CONNECT responses instead of the
previously naive hard-coded version. Made the HTTP test server able to
extract test case number from the host name in a CONNECT request by
finding the number after the last dot. It makes 'machine.moo.123' use
test case 123.
Adapted a larger amount of tests to the new <connect> style.

As of 25-mar-2013 wcsdup() _wcsdup() and _tcsdup() are only used in
WIN32 specific code, so tracking of these has not been extended for
other build targets. Without this fix, memory tracking system on
WIN32 builds, when using these functions, would provide misleading
results.
In order to properly extend this support for all targets curl.h
would have to define curl_wcsdup_callback prototype and consequently
wchar_t should be visible before that in curl.h. IOW curl_wchar_t
defined in curlbuild.h and this pulling whatever system header is
required to get wchar_t definition.
Additionally a new curl_global_init_mem() function that also receives
user defined wcsdup() callback would be required.
curl has been accepting URLs using slightly wrong syntax for a long
time, such as when completely missing as slash "http://example.org" or
missing a slash when a query part is given
"http://example.org?q=foobar".
curl would translate these into a legitimate HTTP request to servers,
although as was shown in bug #1206 it was not adjusted properly in the
cases where a HTTP proxy was used.
Test 1213 and 1214 were added to the test suite to verify this fix.
The test HTTP server was adjusted to allow us to specify test number in
the host name only without using any slashes in a given URL.

This commit renames lib/setup.h to lib/curl_setup.h and
renames lib/setup_once.h to lib/curl_setup_once.h.
Removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard foreign
to libcurl. [1]
Removes the need and presence of an alarming notice we carried
in old setup_once.h [2]
----------------------------------------
1 - lib/setup_once.h used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro as header inclusion guard
up to commit ec691ca3 which changed this to HEADER_CURL_SETUP_ONCE_H,
this single inclusion guard is enough to ensure that inclusion of
lib/setup_once.h done from lib/setup.h is only done once.
Additionally lib/setup.h has always used __SETUP_ONCE_H macro to
protect inclusion of setup_once.h even after commit ec691ca3, this
was to avoid a circular header inclusion triggered when building a
c-ares enabled version with c-ares sources available which also has
a setup_once.h header. Commit ec691ca3 exposes the real nature of
__SETUP_ONCE_H usage in lib/setup.h, it is a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl belonging to c-ares's setup_once.h
The renaming this commit does, fixes the circular header inclusion,
and as such removes the need and usage of a header inclusion guard
foreign to libcurl. Macro __SETUP_ONCE_H no longer used in libcurl.
2 - Due to the circular interdependency of old lib/setup_once.h and the
c-ares setup_once.h header, old file lib/setup_once.h has carried
back from 2006 up to now days an alarming and prominent notice about
the need of keeping libcurl's and c-ares's setup_once.h in sync.
Given that this commit fixes the circular interdependency, the need
and presence of mentioned notice is removed.
All mentioned interdependencies come back from now old days when
the c-ares project lived inside a curl subdirectory. This commit
removes last traces of such fact.
This commit fixes support for sockets that are ready to accept
a new connection and have previously been put into listening mode.
It also includes changes which are the result of investigation
regarding Windows STDIN. These changes are the preparation for further
improvements regarding support for reading data from STDIN on Windows.
Open issue: WaitForMultipleObjectsEx does not support PIPE handles
which are returned by GetStdHandle while running without a GUI.

WinSock select() does not support standard file descriptors,
it can only check SOCKETs. The following function is an attempt
to create a select() function with support for other handles.
BLANK_AT_MAKETIME may be used in our Makefile.am files to blank
LIBS variable used in generated makefile at makefile processing
time. Doing this functionally prevents LIBS from being used for
all link targets in given makefile.
Since automake 1.12.4, the warnings are issued on running automake:
warning: 'INCLUDES' is the old name for 'AM_CPPFLAGS' (or '*_CPPFLAGS')
Avoid INCLUDES and roll these flags into AM_CPPFLAGS.

Fix a bug where closed sockets (fd -1) were left in the all_sockets
list, because of missing parens in a pointer arithmetic expression
Reenable the tests that were locking up due to this bug.
SO_KEEPALIVE flag to all sockets. Note that several loops which used to continue on a return value
of 0 (theoretical since 0 would never be returned without O_NONBLOCK) now break on 0 so that they
won't continue reading until after poll is called again.
for non-blocking sockets: now -1 means error or connection finished, 1 means data was read, and 0
means there is no data available now so need to wait for poll (new return value)
half-finished.
Note the the req struct used to be re-initialized AFTER reading pipeline data, so now that we
initialize it from the caller we must be careful not to overwrite the pipeline data.
Also we now need to handle the case where the buffer is already full when get_request is called -
previously this never happened as it was always called with an empty buffer and looped until done.
Now get_request is called in a loop, so the next step is to run the loop on a socket only when poll
signals it is readable.
I made "connmon" not get initialized properly before use, and I use the
big hammer and make sure we always clear the entire struct to avoid any
problem like this in the future.
This makes verifying easier and makes us more sure curl closes the
connection only at the correct point in time. Adjusted test 206 and 1008
accordingly and updated the docs for it.
I moved out the servercmd parsing into a its own function called
parse_servercmd() and made sure it gets used also when the test number
is extracted from CONNECT requests. It turned out sws didn't do that
previously!
Using this, the server will output in the protocol log when the
connection gets disconnected and thus we will verify correctly in the
test cases that the connection doesn't get closed prematurely. This is
important for example NTLM to work.
Documentation added to FILEFORMAT, test 503 updated to use this.
