- make sure that a match that returns a username also returns a
password, that should be blank if no password is found
- fix handling of multiple logins for same host where the password/login
order might be reversed.
- reject credentials provided in the .netrc if they contain ASCII control
codes - if the used protocol does not support such (like HTTP and WS do)

Create the line in a dynbuf. Aborts the reading of the file on

Windows compilers define `_WIN32` automatically. Windows SDK headers
or build env defines `WIN32`, or we have to take care of it. The
agreement seems to be that `_WIN32` is the preferred practice here.
Make the source code rely on that to detect we're building for Windows.
Public `curl.h` was using `WIN32`, `__WIN32__` and `CURL_WIN32` for
Windows detection, next to the official `_WIN32`. After this patch it
only uses `_WIN32` for this. Also, make it stop defining `CURL_WIN32`.
There is a slight chance these break compatibility with Windows
compilers that fail to define `_WIN32`. I'm not aware of any obsolete
or modern compiler affected, but in case there is one, one possible
solution is to define this macro manually.
grepping for `WIN32` remains useful to discover Windows-specific code.
Also:
- extend `checksrc` to ensure we're not using `WIN32` anymore.
- apply minor formatting here and there.
- delete unnecessary checks for `!MSDOS` when `_WIN32` is present.

Out of 415 labels throughout the code base, 86 of those labels were
not at the start of the line. Which means labels always at the start of
the line is the favoured style overall with 329 instances.
Out of the 86 labels not at the start of the line:
* 75 were indented with the same indentation level of the following line
* 8 were indented with exactly one space
* 2 were indented with one fewer indentation level then the following
line
* 1 was indented with the indentation level of the following line minus
three space (probably unintentional)

This is a strcmp() alternative function for comparing "secrets",
designed to take the same time no matter the content to not leak
match/non-match info to observers based on how fast it is.
The time this function takes is only a function of the shortest input
string.

Instances of ISSPACE() use that should rather use ISBLANK(). I think
somewhat carelessly used because it sounds as if it checks for space or
whitespace, but also includes %0a to %0d.
For parsing purposes, we should only accept what we must and not be
overly liberal. It leads to surprises and surprises lead to bad things.

If netrc entry has password with empty login, use it for any username.
Example:
.netrc:
machine example.com password 123456
curl -vn http://user@example.com/
Fix it by initializing state_our_login to TRUE, and reset it only when
finding an entry with the same host and different login.
Closes#9248
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
The .netrc parser now accepts strings within double-quotes in order to
deal with for example passwords containing white space - which
previously was not possible.
A password that starts with a double-quote also ends with one, and
double-quotes themselves are escaped with backslashes, like \". It also
supports \n, \r and \t for newline, carriage return and tabs
respectively.
If the password does not start with a double quote, it will end at first
white space and no escaping is performed.
WARNING: this change is not entirely backwards compatible. If anyone
previously used a double-quote as the first letter of their password,
the parser will now get it differently compared to before. This is
highly unfortunate but hard to avoid.

Accessing local variables outside of the scope is forbidden and
depending on the compiler can result in the value being
overwritten. Fixed by moving the pwbuf to be in scope.
Closes#8850
- for "--netrc", don't ignore the login/password specified with "--user",
only ignore the login/password in the URL.
This restores the netrc behaviour of curl 7.61.1 and earlier.
- fix the documentation of CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED
- improve the detection of login/password changes when reading .netrc
- don't read .netrc if both login and password are already set
Fixes#3213Closes#3224
- Change the inout parameters after all needed memory has been
allocated. Do not change them if something goes wrong.

... to make it less likely that we forget that the function actually
does case insentive compares. Also replaced several invokes of the
function with a plain strcmp when case sensitivity is not an issue (like
comparing with "-").
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
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_READTEXT instead of "r" or "rt"
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_WRITETEXT instead of "w" or "wt"
This change is to explicitly specify when we need to read/write text.
Unfortunately 't' is not part of POSIX fopen so we can't specify it
directly. Instead we now have FOPEN_READTEXT, FOPEN_WRITETEXT.
Prior to this change we had an issue on Windows if an application that
uses libcurl overrides the default file mode to binary. The default file
mode in Windows is normally text mode (translation mode) and that's what
libcurl expects.

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 old way using getpwuid could cause problems in programs that enable
reading from netrc files simultaneously in multiple threads.

libcurl truncates usernames and passwords it reads from .netrc to
LOGINSIZE and PASSWORDSIZE (64) characters without any indication to
the user, to ensure the values returned from Curl_parsenetrc fit in a
caller-provided buffer.
Fix the interface by passing back dynamically allocated buffers
allocated to fit the user's input. The parser still relies on a
256-character buffer to read each line, though.
So now you can include an ~246-character password in your .netrc,
instead of the previous limit of 63 characters.
