Enable new recommended warnings (except `-Wsign-conversion`):
- enable `-Wformat=2` for clang (in both cmake and autotools).
- add `CURL_PRINTF()` internal attribute and mark functions accepting
printf arguments with it. This is a copy of existing
`CURL_TEMP_PRINTF()` but using `__printf__` to make it compatible
with redefinting the `printf` symbol:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.0.4/gcc_5.html#SEC94
- fix `CURL_PRINTF()` and existing `CURL_TEMP_PRINTF()` for
mingw-w64 and enable it on this platform.
- enable `-Wimplicit-fallthrough`.
- enable `-Wtrampolines`.
- add `-Wsign-conversion` commented with a FIXME.
- cmake: enable `-pedantic-errors` the way we do it with autotools.
Follow-up to d5c0351055#2747
- lib/curl_trc.h: use `CURL_FORMAT()`, this also fixes it to enable format
checks. Previously it was always disabled due to the internal `printf`
macro.
Fix them:
- fix bug where an `set_ipv6_v6only()` call was missed in builds with
`--disable-verbose` / `CURL_DISABLE_VERBOSE_STRINGS=ON`.
- add internal `FALLTHROUGH()` macro.
- replace obsolete fall-through comments with `FALLTHROUGH()`.
- fix fallthrough markups: Delete redundant ones (showing up as
warnings in most cases). Add missing ones. Fix indentation.
- silence `-Wformat-nonliteral` warnings with llvm/clang.
- fix one `-Wformat-nonliteral` warning.
- fix new `-Wformat` and `-Wformat-security` warnings.
- fix `CURL_FORMAT_SOCKET_T` value for mingw-w64. Also move its
definition to `lib/curl_setup.h` allowing use in `tests/server`.
- lib: fix two wrongly passed string arguments in log outputs.

Delete checks and guards for standard C89 headers and assume these are
available: `stdio.h`, `string.h`, `time.h`, `setjmp.h`, `stdlib.h`,
`stddef.h`, `signal.h`.
Some of these we already used unconditionally, some others we only used
for feature checks.

SourceForge projects can now choose between two hostnames, with .io and
.net ending. Both support HTTPS by default now. Opening the other variant
will perm-redirected to the one chosen by the project.
The .io -> .net redirection is done insecurely.
Let's update the URLs to point to the current canonical endpoints to
avoid any redirects.
Closes#9630
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
- replace broken URL with the one it was most probably pointing to
when added (lib/tftp.c)
- replace broken URL with archive.org link (lib/curl_ntlm_wb.c)
- delete unnecessary protocol designator from archive.org URL
(docs/BINDINGS.md)
Closes#7562
- the data needs to be "line-based" anyway since it's also passed to the
debug callback/application
- it makes infof() work like failf() and consistency is good
- there's an assert that triggers on newlines in the format string
- Also removes a few instances of "..."
- Removes the code that would append "..." to the end of the data *iff*
it was truncated in infof()
Closes#7357
Since the connection can be used by many independent requests (using
HTTP/2 or HTTP/3), things like user-agent and other transfer-specific
data MUST NOT be kept connection oriented as it could lead to requests
getting the wrong string for their requests. This struct data was
lingering like this due to old HTTP1 legacy thinking where it didn't
mattered..
Fixes#5566Closes#5567
A common set of functions instead of many separate implementations for
creating buffers that can grow when appending data to them. Existing
functionality has been ported over.
In my early basic testing, the total number of allocations seem at
roughly the same amount as before, possibly a few less.
See docs/DYNBUF.md for a description of the API.
Closes#5300
Currently when the server responds with 401 on NTLM authenticated
connection (re-used) we consider it to have failed. However this is
legitimate and may happen when for example IIS is set configured to
'authPersistSingleRequest' or when the request goes thru a proxy (with
'via' header).
Implemented by imploying an additional state once a connection is
re-used to indicate that if we receive 401 we need to restart
authentication.
Missed in fe6049f0.
Instead of using a fixed 256 byte buffer in the connectdata struct.
In my build, this reduces the size of the connectdata struct by 11.8%,
from 2160 to 1904 bytes with no functionality or performance loss.
This also fixes a bug in schannel's Curl_verify_certificate where it
called Curl_sspi_strerror when it should have called Curl_strerror for
string from GetLastError. the only effect would have been no text or the
wrong text being shown for the error.

When erroring out on a request being too large, the existing buffer was
leaked. Fix by explicitly freeing on the way out.

.. and include the core NTLM header in all NTLM-related source files.
Follow up to 6f86022. Since then http_ntlm checks NTLM_NEEDS_NSS_INIT
but did not include vtls.h where it was defined.

Prior to this change (SET_)ERRNO mapped to GetLastError/SetLastError
for Win32 and regular errno otherwise.
I reviewed the code and found no justifiable reason for conflating errno
on WIN32 with GetLastError/SetLastError. All Win32 CRTs support errno,
and any Win32 multithreaded CRT supports thread-local errno.

* HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection.
Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent
uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct
the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin
server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy
communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests
(including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_
SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy
and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server
(through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions
as well.
A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL
options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts,
except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath
which defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS.
* A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS
proxy.
TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options.
Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

Fixes#743
Static analysis indicated that my commit 9008f3d564 ("ntlm_wb: Fix
hard-coded limit on NTLM auth packet size") introduced a potential
memory leak on an error path, because we forget to free the buffer
before returning an error.
Fix this.
Although actually, it never happens in practice because we never *get*
here with state == NTLMSTATE_TYPE1. The state is always zero. That
might want cleaning up in a separate patch.
Reported-by: Terri Oda
This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
this change takes it a step further and:
- converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
- makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc24.
