If --trace-config is used to set a level before -v is used, don't reset
the state on first -v (to "-all") as it otherwise does. This way,
--trace-config can be used to set specific trace items before -v on the
command line and it still works.
Previously, the first -v use would otherwise reset and undo the earlier
--trace-config items.

Instead realloc to the largest buffer and keep that for reuse during the
entire lifetime.

Closes#18233
- move the state struct from config to global. It is used as a single
instance anyway so might as well be a single one to save memory.
- simplify and combine several conditions
- set default retry delay inititally
- use better struct field names to make it easier to understand their
purposes
- remove the state->outfiles field as it was not necessary
- remove superfluous glob cleanup call
- move conditions around to remove an indent level
- move the ->url NULL check
Takes single_transfer()'s complexity score down from 78 to 68.
Closes#18226
The GlobalConfig only exists in a single instance and it has worked like
this since the dawn of time. It is about time we stop passing around
pointers to what was already essentially a global object and instead
just use a... global.
It simplifies things.
Closes#18213
- assert instead of printing "internal error" for unlikely events
- avoid allocating the main struct
- convert globerror() from macro to function
- renames to shorter and clearer names
- malloc + copy => memdup0
- change buffer handling to dynbuf
- realloc to handle more globs, but use less memory for few
Closes#18198

Closes#16543
This patch bumps the size of these constants from `int` to `long`, while
keeping their actual values the same. It may cause incompatibilities in
user code, requiring the bump of holder variables and/or adding casts:
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY
- CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT
- CURLFTPAUTH_SSL
- CURLFTPAUTH_TLS
- CURLFTPMETHOD_DEFAULT
- CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
- CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD
- CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_PASSIVE
Also:
- keep existing casts within the documentation to make sure it applies
to older curl versions as well.
Closes#17797
This still allows users to explictily ask for 1.0 or 1.1 as the minimum
version. If the TLS library allows it.
Starting with this change, the CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT value is no
longer used as minimum version when the TLS backend are called.
This also makes curl set the minimum version to 1.2 independently of
libcurl for the rare case where a newer curl tool would use an older
libcurl.

The secure transport vTLS backend was the only Curl_ssl struct instance
that populated the false_start field. Since its removed, we can now
remove that field entirely. This was a protocol feature specific to TLS
1.2 that has been replaced by the more widely adopted TLS 1.3 early data
mechanisms.
--false-start is now deprecated
Closes#17595
- add dedicated option functions for bools/none/strings
- simplify clearing (some) arguments, use '*' instead of ' '
- scripts/top-complexity: remove getparameter from whitelist
- handle --help separately
- getstr and getstrn do not allow a NULL input
- improve the ;auto check, it needs to be trailing
- add toggle bit helper function
- unify an error message for bad --no- use
- introduce generic handling of deprecated options: ARG_DEPR
- handle --no- prefix on more booleans:
--cert-status
--doh-cert-status
--false-start
--mptcp
--ssl-no-revoke
--ssl-revoke-best-effort
--tcp-fastopen
Closes#17448
As the flags were use mostly as individual booleans anyway, the code
gets simpler when we use bitfields instead of manual bitwise operations.
Closes#17436
Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

Closes#17253
The curl tool and tests/server used 2 parallel implementations
of libcurl's `Curl_now()` and `Curl_timediff()` functions.
Make them use the libcurl one.
Closes#16653
To help applications do the right thing easier, change some enum values
into defines with L suffixes so that they get the corect type (long)
easier when used with curl_easy_setopt(). This also fixes a few of our
own libtests.
To reduce the risk that this change breaks the compile for any existing
users, the previously provided enums are still provided, but the values
to use are not defined by the enums.
This change "magically" fixes a few RTSP test failures we have had on
64-bit platforms because those options were not see using longs
properly.
Closes#16482
This now insists on using a server auth option unless --insecure is
provided. As an added bonus, it now also only checks for the knownhosts
file once (if found).

Using this option (only available in debug builds) makes curl always
call curl_easy_duphandle() on the handle before using it.

Based on #14135, implement TLSv1.3 earlydata support for the curl
command line, libcurl and its implementation in GnuTLS.
If a known TLS session announces early data support, and the feature is
enabled *and* it is not a "connect-only" transfer, delay the TLS
handshake until the first request is being sent.
- Add --tls-earldata as new boolean command line option for curl.
- Add CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA to libcurl to enable use of the feature.
- Add CURLINFO_EARLYDATA_SENT_T to libcurl, reporting the amount of
bytes sent and accepted/rejected by the server.
Implementation details:
- store the ALPN protocol selected at the SSL session.
- When reusing the session and enabling earlydata, use exactly
that ALPN protocol for negoptiation with the server. When the
sessions ALPN does not match the connections ALPN, earlydata
will not be enabled.
- Check that the server selected the correct ALPN protocol for
an earlydata connect. If the server does not confirm or reports
something different, the connect fails.
- HTTP/2: delay sending the initial SETTINGS frames during connect,
if not connect-only.
Verification:
- add test_02_32 to verify earlydata GET with nghttpx.
- add test_07_70 to verify earlydata PUT with nghttpx.
- add support in 'hx-download', 'hx-upload' clients for the feature

Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths.
Multipath TCP has been used for several use cases. On smartphones, MPTCP
enables seamless handovers between cellular and Wi-Fi networks while
preserving established connections. This use-case is what pushed Apple
to use MPTCP since 2013 in multiple applications [2]. On dual-stack
hosts, Multipath TCP enables the TCP connection to automatically use the
best performing path, either IPv4 or IPv6. If one path fails, MPTCP
automatically uses the other path.
To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [3]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket. No need to change anything else in the application.
This attached patch adds an --mptcp option which allows the creation of
an MPTCP socket instead of TCP on Linux. If Multipath TCP is not
supported on the system, an error will be reported. It is important to
note that if the end server doesn't support MPTCP, the connection will
continue after a seamless fallback to TCP.

`CURLDEBUG` is meant to enable memory tracking, but in a bunch of cases,
it was protecting debug features that were supposed to be guarded with
`DEBUGBUILD`.
Replace these uses with `DEBUGBUILD`.
This leaves `CURLDEBUG` uses solely for its intended purpose: to enable
the memory tracking debug feature.
Also:
- autotools: rely on `DEBUGBUILD` to enable `checksrc`.
Instead of `CURLDEBUG`, which worked in most cases because debug
builds enable `CURLDEBUG` by default, but it's not accurate.
- include `lib/easyif.h` instead of keeping a copy of a declaration.
- add CI test jobs for the build issues discovered.

Add support for command line variables. Set variables with --variable
name=content or --variable name@file (where "file" can be stdin if set
to a single dash (-)).
Variable content is expanded in option parameters using "{{name}}"
(without the quotes) if the option name is prefixed with
"--expand-". This gets the contents of the variable "name" inserted, or
a blank if the name does not exist as a variable. Insert "{{" verbatim
in the string by prefixing it with a backslash, like "\\{{".
Import an environment variable with --variable %name. It makes curl exit
with an error if the environment variable is not set. It can also rather
get a default value if the variable does not exist, using =content or
@file like shown above.
Example: get the USER environment variable into the URL:
--variable %USER
--expand-url = "https://example.com/api/{{USER}}/method"
When expanding variables, curl supports a set of functions that can make
the variable contents more convenient to use. It can trim leading and
trailing white space with "trim", output the contents as a JSON quoted
string with "json", URL encode it with "url" and base 64 encode it with
"b64". To apply functions to a variable expansion, add them colon
separated to the right side of the variable. They are then performed in
a left to right order.
Example: get the contents of a file called $HOME/.secret into a variable
called "fix". Make sure that the content is trimmed and percent-encoded
sent as POST data:
--variable %HOME=/home/default
--expand-variable fix@{{HOME}}/.secret
--expand-data "{{fix:trim:url}}"
