Works better if we later introduce another way to do the asynch RR
resolves (together with the threaded resolver) that does not use c-ares.
Closes#16090
Rework the way `tool_hugehelp.c` is included in builds.
After this patch, with `./configure` and CMake `tool_hugehelp.c` is only
compiled when building with manuals enabled. With manuals disabled this
source file is not used anymore. The method is similar to how
8a3740bc8e implemented `tool_ca_embed.c`.
`./configure` always generates it as before, otherwise the build fails.
- winbuild: rework to not need `buildconf.bat`, but automatically use
`tool_hugehelp.c` if present (e.g. when building from an official
source tarball) and enable `USE_MANUAL` accordingly.
- `buildconf.bat`: after dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` generation, the only
logic left was `cp Makefile.dist Makefile`. This allowed to launch
winbuild builds via GNU Make in a Git repo. Drop this option together
with the batch file.
- build `libcurltool` without `USE_MANUAL` macro to exclude the manual
and the dependence on the generator commands. Drop relying on
`UNITTESTS` for this purpose.
Follow-up to 96843f4ef7#16068
- `src/mkhelp.pl`: include `tool_hugehelp.h` before using `USE_MANUAL`
to have it set in `config-*.h` builds with source tarballs created
with manual but without zlib.
Closes#16081
Allow building with c-ares and yet use threaded resolver for the main
host A/AAAA resolving:
`--with-ares` provides the c-ares install path and defaults to use
c-ares for name resolving
`--with-threaded-resolver` still uses c-ares in the build (for HTTPS)
but uses the threaded resolver for "normal" resolves.
It works similarly for cmake: ENABLE_ARES enables ares, and if
ENABLE_THREADED_RESOLVER also is set, c-ares is used for HTTPS RR and
the threaded resolver for "normal" resolves.
HTTPSRR and c-ares-rr are new features return by curl_version_info() and
thus shown by curl -V.
The c-ares-rr feature bit is there to make it possible to distinguish
between builds using c-ares for all name resolves and builds that use
the threaded resolves for the regular name resolves and c-ares for
HTTPSRR only. "c-ares-rr" means it does not use c-ares for "plain" name
resolves.
HTTPSRR support is EXPERIMENTAL only.

iOS:
- add jobs with autotools, CMake, CMake Xcode generator.
The Xcode generator is >10x slower than Unix Makefiles. Keep it
because it's the one recommended by CMake and for having its own
quirks we may want to know about.
- build, cache and use LibreSSL for these jobs.
With workaround for an iOS build issue fixed in master.
- make Xcode generator work by explicitly disabling code signing.
- make tests and examples build with the Xcode generator by setting
`-DMACOSX_BUNDLE_GUI_IDENTIFIER=se.curl`, to avoid
"Bundle identifier is missing" errors.
- cmake: disable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for Apple device.
- cmake: add `stdc++` library for BoringSSL and AWS-LC, with
`OPENSSL_USE_STATIC_LIBS=ON` set.
- cmake: add workaround for Xcode generator issue, where it cannot
handle two targets depending on one custom command. A better fix may
be dropping `tool_hugehelp.c` and `tool_ca_embed.c` from curltool
library. For a future PR.
Android:
- add vcpkg to Android jobs, enable dependencies.
Assisted-by: Tal Regev via #16045
- make vcpkg work with autotools.
- pass `--with-brotli` to autotools to detect the vcpkg-supplied brotli.
- enable BoringSSL for Android and add a job with it.
- silence 457 CMake configure warnings about the Android NDK CMake
scripts targeting freshly deprecated CMake versions.
These were much more involved than imagined. Basically nothing works out
of the box, and when combined, everything becomes a unique edge case.
autotools builds were a much easier to make work than CMake ones.
Also:
- GHA/non-native: re-sync names to be shorter and more aligned with
other workflows.
- GHA: add `persist-credentials: false` where missing.
Unresolved issues:
- `OPENSSL_ROOT_DIR` ignored/mis-used when pointing it to LibreSSL.
CMake seems to prepend the sysroot to the passed absolute directory.
Found no workaround.
- CMake when combined with Android, both the Google-recommended method
and the built-in CMake method fail to provide a way to avoid
`pkg-config` packages at system directories. Failed to find a knob
that can remove `/usr/include` from the search path. The workaround is
to disable zstd. (I enabled it by default in this release, maybe
premature?: f2adb3b6d7#15431)
Disabling `pkg-config` doesn't work because vcpkg dependencies do not
link without it.
- CMake's Xcode generator is slow because each `try_compile()` feature
check springs a new CMake + Xcode project taking a long time to run,
just to compile single-liner C files. A known issue, with no solution.
`-DCMAKE_MACOSX_BUNDLE=OFF` did not help, limiting build types to
a single one (e.g. `Debug`) also had no effect.

libcurl cannot fully protect against attacks where an attacker has write
access to the same directory where it is directed to save files. This is
particularly sensitive if you save files using elevated privileges.

Closes#16051
- GHA/non-native: add Android builds, both cmake and autotools,
both NDK 21 (oldest available) and 35 (newest available)
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/main/images/ubuntu/Ubuntu2404-Readme.md
It comes with a maintenance burden to bump the oldest/latest values
with CI runner updates.
- cmake: disable `CURL_USE_PKGCONFIG` by default for Android.
To avoid picking up system package by default.
- build: add `ANDROID-<NDK-LEVEL>` flag to `buildinfo.txt`.
Also detect NDK level with the CMake built-in build method:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling-for-android
- INSTALL.md: add CMake build instructions for Android.
- INSTALL.md: make NDK levels consistent in `./configure` example.
Closes#16014
- Fix a bug in EAGAIN handling when sending frames that led to a
corrupted last byte of the frame sent.
- Restore sanity to curl_ws_send() behaviour:
- Partial writes are reported as OK with the actual number of
payload bytes sent.
- CURLE_AGAIN is only returned when none of the payload bytes
(or for 0-length frames, not all of the frame header bytes)
could be sent.
- curl_ws_send() now behaves like a common send() call.
- Change 'ws-data' test client to allow concurrent send/recv
operations and vary frame sizes and repeat count.
- Add DEBUG env var CURL_WS_CHUNK_EAGAIN to simulate blocking
after a chunk of an encoded websocket frame has been sent.
- Add tests.
Prior to this change data corruption may occur when sending websocket
messages due to two bugs:
1) 3e64569a (precedes 8.10.0) caused a data corruption bug in the last
byte of frame of large messages.
2) curl_ws_send had non-traditional send behavior and could return
CURLE_AGAIN with bytes sent and expect the caller to adjust buffer
and buflen in a subsequent call. That behavior was not documented.

Dedupe and migrate MSVC-specific warning suppressions to `curl_setup.h`.
Make cmake set `_CRT_SECURE_NO_DEPRECATE` for examples and standalone
tests, and stop setting `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE` for them.
Details:
- drop version guards. On ancient MSVC version these macro are a no-op.
- move to `curl_setup.h` from `config-win32*.h`.
- sync macro values with CMake.
- cmake: stop setting them globally in favour of `curl_setup.h`.
- cmake: re-add these macros to `docs/examples` and `tests/http/clients`,
which do not use `curl_setup.h`.
- cmake: drop `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE` for examples and tests.
They build fine without.
- update comments.

- deprecate winbuild method in favour of CMake by September 2025.
- add migration guide from winbuild to CMake.
- add migration guide from Visual Studio Project Files to CMake.
- add deprecation message to winbuild.

The msh3 backed for QUIC and HTTP/3 was introduced in April 2022 but has
never been made to work properly. It has seen no visible traction or
developer activity from the msh3 main author (or anyone else seemingly
interested) in two years. As a non-functional backend, it only adds
friction and "weight" to the development and maintenance.
Meanwhile, we have a fully working backend in the ngtcp2 one and we have
two fully working backends in OpenSSL-QUIC and quiche well on their way
of ending their experimental status in a future.
We remove msh3 support from the curl source tree in July 2025.

In OpenSSL < 3.0, the modularity was provided by mechanism called
"engines". This is supported in curl, but the engines got deprecated
with OpenSSL 3.0 in favor of more versatile providers.
This adds a support for OpenSSL Providers, to use PKCS#11 keys, namely
through the pkcs11 provider. This is done using similar approach as the
engines and this is automatically built in when the OpenSSL 3 and newer
is used.

- Treat negative Retry-After date-based times as 0.
- Treat Retry-After times greater than 6 hours as 6 hours.
Prior to this change Retry-After did not have a limited range and the
server could have set a time greater than 6 hours or a date in the past
that would result in a negative time, either of which may be unexpected
by the user.
The 6 hour limit is purposely not documented so that it can be changed
in the future if necessary.

Follow-up to 40c264db61 after discussions on IRC.
The new style is
name[0-99]=contents
and
name[0-99]@filename
A) This does not cause the same problems with old curl versions trying
the new syntax as this way will cause old curls just fail with syntax
error and not risk using the wrong file.
B) Adds the same byte range support for "normal" assigns, which the
previous syntax did not. Thus lets a user get a partial content of a
variable etc.
Added test 790 and 791 to verify non-file assigns with ranges.

mbedtls is picky when a mbedtls_ssl_write) was previously blocked. It

Use 'banfunc' and 'allowfunc' in .checksrc to specify which functions to
ban or allow to be used. This saves us from having to edit the script
going forward when we want to ban or allow specific functions.
This replaces a set of previous rules and all banned functions are now
checked with the BANNEDFUNC rule.
There is a set of default banned functions, shown by invoking
./checksrc.
Also, -a and -b options are added to specify allowed or banned functions
on the command line.
