Add a new commandline option --out-null that discards all
response bytes into the void. Replaces non-portable use of
'-o /dev/null' with more efficiency.
Feature added in 8.16.0
Closes#17800
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
Also:
- CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL.md: sync macro definitions with `curl/curl.h`.
Perhaps it'd be better to delete copies like this?
- keep existing casts within the documentation to make sure it applies
to older curl versions as well.
- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE.md: re-add a long cast to man page, for consistency
with the above.
Closes#17791
Some GNU C version guards implicitly include the clang compiler, because
clang reports itself as GCC 4.2.1.
This implicit inclusion doesn't happen if the guard requires a GCC
version above 4.2.1.
Fix two such guards to explicitly include clang where it does support
the guarded feature:
- curl/curl.h: use `typecheck-gcc.h` with clang.
llvm clang v14+ supports this. The corresponding Apple clang version
is also v14.
Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xcode#Toolchain_versions
Apple clang v14 tested OK in CI:
https://github.com/curl/curl/actions/runs/16353901480/job/46207437204
- tool_urlglib: use `__builtin_mul_overflow()` with clang v8+.
llvm clang v3.8+ supports this, but to accommodate for Apple clang,
start with v8, the Apple version having the mainline v3.8 feature set.
Also fix compile warnings triggered by the above:
- lib1912: fix duplicate `;`:
```
tests/libtest/lib1912.c:44:57: error: empty expression statement has no effect; remove unnecessary ';' to silence this warning [-Werror,-Wextra-semi-stmt]
44 | print_err(o->name, "CURLOT_LONG or CURLOT_VALUES");

- lib2032: silence typcheck warning with a cast:
```
tests/libtest/lib2032.c:145:29: error: sizeof on pointer operation will return size of 'CURL **' (aka 'void **') instead of 'CURL *[3]' (aka 'void *[3]') [-Werror,-Wsizeof-array-decay]

- add 'use warnings' and 'use strict' where missing from Perl scripts.
- fix 'Use of uninitialized value'.
- fix missing declarations.
- test1140.pl: fix 'Possible precedence issue with control flow operator'.
- fix other misc issues.
Most actual errors found during this PR were fixed and merged via
separate PRs.
Likely there are remaining warnings not found and fixed in this PR.
Closes#17877
If the long option name ends with an equals sign (`=`), the argument is
the text following on its right side.
This makes the command line parser accept this common style in addition
to the existing way to accept option arguments more similar to how other
command line tools do.
Example: `curl --user-agent=curl-2000 https://example.com/`
Change a few existing tests to use this syntax: 206, 1333, 1335, 1442
Closes#17789
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.

- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
`winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.
Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

Sync how libcurltool is built in different modes and build systems.
cmake:
- build libcurltool with curlx when building shared libcurl.
To make it possible to use standard libcurl when linking tunits.
Also syncing this with autotools.
The remaining difference is that cmake allows to select shared or
static for curl tool and tests/examples independently.
- fix to link with libcurl instead of libcurlu.
To sync with autotools and to link with the standard libcurl for
tool unit tests.
- fix `source_group()` to always include curlx sources.
- add missing 'curlx header files' source group.
autotools:
- build libcurltool without curlx when building static libcurl in
non-unity builds.
To avoid double compilation, just to be thrown away at link time.
Also to sync with unity builds.
both:
- sync source order between autotools and cmake.
- make sure to pass all headers with both autotools and cmake.
This is a no-op with cmake. Maybe a future patch should make sure
to not pass those to remove that noise.
Ref: #17696Closes#17727
To make all src and test code refer to curlx headers the same way.
Also:
- src: move `curlx.h` include to `tool_setup.h`.
- src/tool_setup.h: drop stray `curlx/timeval.h`.
- servers: de-duplicate `curlx.h` and `curl_setup.h` includes.
- libtests, units: drop stray curlx sub-headers in favor of
`<curlx/curlx.h>`.
- tests: include `curlx.h` with `<>` instead of `""`. To match
other parts of the codebase.
Closes#17680
Replace existing `mk-unity.pl` `--embed` workaround with running

Implements a seperate read thread for STDIN on Windows when curl is run
with -T/--upload-file .
This uses a similar technique to the nmap/ncat project, spawning a
seperate thread which creates a loop-back bound socket, sending STDIN
into this socket, and reading from the other end of said TCP socket in a
non-blocking way in the rest of curl.
Fixes#17451Closes#17572
Use it from libtests' `first.c` and thus also from units, and tunits.
Also:
- cmake: drop stray `curltool` lib dependency for units.
- units: stop depending on `src` headers.
- tests/server: drop depending on `src` headers.
(the remaining one listed in the comments, `tool_xattr.h`, was not
actually used from servers.)
- tests/server: drop duplicate curlx headers.
(Except `warnless.h`, which is tricky on Windows.)
Closes#17672
To pass `-municode` to the linker. Before this patch we passed this via
`target_link_libraries()` which is designed to pass libraries. Keep
using it for old CMake versions, where no better alternative existed.
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_link_options.html
Also:
- also pass `-municode` as `PRIVATE` for old cmake versions.
(it should not make a difference because no target depends on the curl
tool, but this seem to be the modern, non-ambiguous syntax.)
- unfold a bunch of split lines for greppability of `add_library()` and
`add_executable()` commands.
- quote a string.
Closes#17670
- GHA/windows: make a mingw autotools build static only.
- GHA/windows: fix a CI script issue with the build above.
- src: fix to pass `LIBCURL_PC_LIBS_PRIVATE` instead of `LINKFLAGS`.
This makes the libs propagate to tunits, making the local hack there
unnecessary. `LINKFLAGS` had this single use in the repo, and it was
empty in local tests.
- tests: drop passing redundant `LIBCURL_PC_LDFLAGS_PRIVATE`.
- tests: drop redundant target name from config variables.
- examples, tests/client: drop `LIBDIR` temp variables with single uses.
- examples, tests: formatting to sync `Makefile.am` scripts with each
other.
Closes#17661
Make test bundles the default. Drop non-bundle build mode.
Also do all the optimizations and tidy-ups this allows, simpler builds,
less bundle exceptions, streamlined build mechanics.
Also rework the init/deinit macro magic for unit tests. The new method
allows using unique init/deinit function names, and calling them with
arguments. This is in turn makes it possible to reduce the use of global
variables.
Note this drop existing build options `-DCURL_TEST_BUNDLES=` from cmake
and `--enable-test-bundles` / `--disable-test-bundles` from autotools.
Also:
- rename test entry functions to have unique names: `test_<testname>`
This removes the last exception that was handled in the generator.
- fix `make dist` to not miss test sources with test bundles enabled.
- sync and merge `tests/mk-bundle.pl` into `scripts/mk-unity.pl`.
- mk-unity.pl: add `--embed` option and use it when `CURL_CLANG_TIDY=ON`
to ensure that `clang-tidy` does not miss external test C sources.
(because `clang-tidy` ignores code that's #included.)
- tests/unit: drop no-op setup/stop functions.
- tests: reduce symbol scopes, global macros, other fixes and tidy-ups.
- tool1621: fix to run, also fix it to pass.
- sockfilt: fix Windows compiler warning in certain unity include order,
by explicitly including `warnless.h`.

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
