effect of handling it, but they do not free it if it isn't a packet
they recognise as part of their upload/download. Invent a return value
that specifically signals this, and consistently free pktin at every
call site if that return value comes back. Also, ensure that that
return value also always comes with something meaningful in fxp_error.

places we simply enforce by assertion that it will match the request
we sent out a moment ago: in fact it can also return NULL, so it makes
more sense to report a proper error message if it doesn't return the
expected value, and while we're at it, have that error message
whatever message was helpfully left in fxp_error() by
sftp_find_request when it failed.
To do this, I've written a centralised function in psftp.c called
sftp_wait_for_reply, which is handed a request that's just been sent
out and deals with the mechanics of waiting for its reply, returning
the reply when it arrives, and aborting with a sensible error if
anything else arrives instead. The numerous sites in psftp.c which
called sftp_find_request have all been rewritten to do this instead,
and as a side effect they now look more sensible. The only other uses
of sftp_find_request were in xfer_*load_gotpkt, which had to be
tweaked in its own way.
While I'm here, also fix memory management in sftp_find_request, which
was freeing its input packet on some but not all error return paths.

Well, at least across all command-line tools on both Windows and Unix,
and the GTK apps on Unix too. The Windows GUI apps fundamentally can't
write to standard output and it doesn't seem sensible to use message
boxes for these purposes :-)

data channels. Should comprehensively fix 'half-closed', in principle,
though it's a big and complicated change and so there's a good chance
I've made at least one mistake somewhere.
All connections should now be rigorous about propagating end-of-file
(or end-of-data-stream, or socket shutdown, or whatever) independently
in both directions, except in frontends with no mechanism for sending
explicit EOF (e.g. interactive terminal windows) or backends which are
basically always used for interactive sessions so it's unlikely that
an application would be depending on independent EOF (telnet, rlogin).
EOF should now never accidentally be sent while there's still buffered
data to go out before it. (May help fix 'portfwd-corrupt', and also I
noticed recently that the ssh main session channel can accidentally
have MSG_EOF sent before the output bufchain is clear, leading to
embarrassment when it subsequently does send the output).

I think I have to consider this to be a separate but related change to
the wishlist item 'pscp-filemodes'; that was written before the Unix
port existed, and referred to the ability to configure the permissions
used for files copied from Windows to Unix - which is still not done.
[originally from svn r9260]
'Config' in putty.h, which stores all PuTTY's settings and includes an
arbitrary length limit on every single one of those settings which is
stored in string form. In place of it is 'Conf', an opaque data type
everywhere outside the new file conf.c, which stores a list of (key,
value) pairs in which every key contains an integer identifying a
configuration setting, and for some of those integers the key also
contains extra parts (so that, for instance, CONF_environmt is a
string-to-string mapping). Everywhere that a Config was previously
used, a Conf is now; everywhere there was a Config structure copy,
conf_copy() is called; every lookup, adjustment, load and save
operation on a Config has been rewritten; and there's a mechanism for
serialising a Conf into a binary blob and back for use with Duplicate
Session.
User-visible effects of this change _should_ be minimal, though I
don't doubt I've introduced one or two bugs here and there which will
eventually be found. The _intended_ visible effects of this change are
that all arbitrary limits on configuration strings and lists (e.g.
limit on number of port forwardings) should now disappear; that list
boxes in the configuration will now be displayed in a sorted order
rather than the arbitrary order in which they were added to the list
(since the underlying data structure is now a sorted tree234 rather
than an ad-hoc comma-separated string); and one more specific change,
which is that local and dynamic port forwardings on the same port
number are now mutually exclusive in the configuration (putting 'D' in
the key rather than the value was a mistake in the first place).
One other reorganisation as a result of this is that I've moved all
the dialog.c standard handlers (dlg_stdeditbox_handler and friends)
out into config.c, because I can't really justify calling them generic
any more. When they took a pointer to an arbitrary structure type and
the offset of a field within that structure, they were independent of
whether that structure was a Config or something completely different,
but now they really do expect to talk to a Conf, which can _only_ be
used for PuTTY configuration, so I've renamed them all things like
conf_editbox_handler and moved them out of the nominally independent
dialog-box management module into the PuTTY-specific config.c.

name the proxy using the global 'appname' variable, instead of
statically calling it PuTTY.
(Knock-on effect is that PSCP and PSFTP have to declare that
variable, though of course they shouldn't ever actually _use_ the X
forwarding code. Probably I ought to replace it with a stub
nox11fwd.c for those applications.)

ssh_sftp_loop_iteration(), not just one. Fixes exiting on a negative
response to the host key confirmation prompt on Windows (because
winsftp.c doesn't have the equivalent of uxsftp.c's no_fds_ok); on
Unix it worked already but gave a suboptimal error message, which is
fixed too by this patch.

it's NULL. Since we already have one back end (uxpty) which doesn't
in fact talk to a network socket, and may well have more soon, I'm
replacing this TCP/IP-centric function with a nice neutral
`connected' function returning a boolean. Nothing else about its
semantics has currently changed.

(A lot of these say just "canonify:". This isn't a nice thing to show to a
user, but I don't believe canonify() will ever return failure due to a server
error, so users shouldn't actually see it, and it means we have a chance of
tracing it if reported.)

ssh.c will prompt for a login name as required, and doing so in psftp.c
before we've even made a connection is incorrect wrt `bypass-ssh2-userauth'.

abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction
per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash',
`ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and
`proxy-password-prompt' easier).
The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in
the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for
`gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may
want to be fixed.
In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should
make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I
haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be
tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't
promise anything other than not having made it any worse.
I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is
untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there
are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the
PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be
fixed.)

* All the PuTTY tools for Windows and Unix now contain the fingerprints of
the Master Keys. The method for accessing them is crude but universal:
a new "-pgpfp" command-line option. (Except Unix PuTTYgen, which takes
"--pgpfp" just to be awkward.)
* Move the key policy discussion from putty-website/keys.html to
putty/doc/pgpkeys.but, and autogenerate the former from the latter.
Also tweak the text somewhat and include the fingerprints of the
Master Keys themselves.
(I've merged the existing autogeneration scripts into a single new
one; I've left the old scripts and keys.html around until such time
as the webmonster reviews the changes and plumbs in the new script;
he should remove the old files then.)

of polishing to bring them to what I think should in principle be
release quality. Unlike the unfix.org patches themselves, this
checkin enables IPv6 by default; if you want to leave it out, you
have to build with COMPAT=-DNO_IPV6.
I have tested that this compiles on Visual C 7 (so the nightlies
_should_ acquire IPv6 support without missing a beat), but since I
don't have IPv6 set up myself I haven't actually tested that it
_works_. It still seems to make correct IPv4 connections, but that's
all I've been able to verify for myself. Further testing is needed.

of directory recursion was a strategic error: it obfuscates
sftp_{get,put}_file(), and also it makes it very hard to handle
subdirectory wildcards such as `foo/*'. Accordingly, here's a
completely different approach, in which sftp_{get,put}_file() are
still responsible for directory recursion, but wildcards are
expanded in sftp_general_{get,put}() before being passed thereto.
Subdirectory wildcards are now handled consistently across Unix,
Windows and the remote server.
