      multi_socket: handles timer inaccuracy better for timeouts · 2c72732e
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      Igor Novoseltsev reported a problem with the multi socket API and
      using timeouts and timers. It boiled down to a problem with
      libcurl's use of GetTickCount() interally to figure out the
      current time, while Igor's own application code used another
      function call.
      
      It made his app call the socket API timeout function a bit
      _before_ libcurl would consider the timeout to trigger, and that
      could easily lead to timeouts or stalls in the app. It seems
      GetTickCount() in general often has no better resolution than
      16ms and switching to the alternative function
      QueryPerformanceCounter has its share of problems:
      http://www.virtualdub.org/blog/pivot/entry.php?id=106
      
      We address this problem by simply having libcurl treat timers
      that already has occured or will occur within 40ms subject for
      treatment. I'm confident that there are other implementations and
      operating systems with similarly in accurate timer functions so
      it makes sense to have applied generically and I don't believe we
      sacrifice much by adding a 40ms inaccuracy on these timeouts.

      LDAP: properly implemented as a curl_handler · 2e056353
      Howard Chu authored
      makes the LDAP code much cleaner, nicer and in general being a
      better libcurl citizen. If a new enough OpenLDAP version is
      detect, the new and shiny lib/openldap.c code is then used
      instead of the old cruft
      
      Code by Howard, minor cleanups by Daniel.

      TFTP: send legal timeout value · d17709da
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      Eric Mertens posted bug #3003705: when we made TFTP use the
      correct timeout option when sent to the server (fixed May 18th
      2010) it became obvious that libcurl used invalid timeout values
      (300 by default while the RFC allows nothing above 255). While of
      course it is obvious that as TFTP has worked thus far without
      being able to set timeout at all, just removing the setting
      wouldn't make any difference in behavior. I decided to still keep
      it (but fix the problem) as it now actually allows for easier
      (future) customization of the timeout.

      TFTP: block id wrap bug fix · 0a29e244
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      In a normal expression, doing [unsigned short] + 1 will not wrap
      at 16 bits so the comparisons and outputs were done wrong. I
      added a macro do make sure it gets done right.
      
      Douglas Kilpatrick filed bug report #3004787 about it:

      OpenSSL: multi interface handshake could hang · 77cfeadf
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      John-Mark Bell filed bug #3000052 that identified a problem (with
      an associated patch) with the OpenSSL handshake state machine
      when the multi interface is used:
      
      Performing an https request using a curl multi handle and using
      select or epoll to wait for events results in a hang. It appears
      that the cause is the fix for bug #2958179, which makes
      ossl_connect_common unconditionally return from the step 2 loop
      when fetching from a multi handle.
      
      When ossl_connect_step2 has completed, it updates
      connssl->connecting_state to ssl_connect_3. ossl_connect_common
      will then return to the caller, as a multi handle is in
      use. Eventually, the client code will call curl_multi_fdset to
      obtain an updated fdset to select or epoll on. For https
      requests, curl_multi_fdset will cause https_getsock to be called.
      https_getsock will only return a socket handle if the
      connecting_state is ssl_connect_2_reading or
      ssl_connect_2_writing.  Therefore, the client will never obtain a
      valid fdset, and thus not drive the multi handle, resulting in a
      hang.

      follow redirect: ignore response-body on redirect even if compressed · 7764795c
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      Sebastian V reported bug #3000056 identifying a problem with
      redirect following. It showed that when curl followed redirects
      it didn't properly ignore the response body of the 30X response
      if that response was using compressed Content-Encoding!

      multi interface: missed storing connection time · adaf8753
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      Dirk Manske reported a regression. When connecting with the multi
      interface, there were situations where libcurl wouldn't store
      connect time correctly as it used to (and is documented to) do.
      
      Using his fine sample program we could repeat it, and I wrote up
      test case 573 using that code. The problem does not easily show
      itself using the local test suite though.
      
      The fix, also as suggested by Dirk, is a bit on the ugly side as
      it adds yet another call to Curl_verboseconnect() and setting the
      TIMER_CONNECT time.  That situation is subject for some closer
      inspection in the future.

      fix SFTP download hang · 49f3160d
      Daniel Stenberg authored
      Matt Wixson found and fixed a bug in the SCP/SFTP area where the
      code treated a 0 return code from libssh2 to be the same as
      EAGAIN while in reality it isn't. The problem caused a hang in
      SFTP transfers from a MessageWay server.
