Now that the curl rustls vtls backend is using rustls 0.14 we can
address the weak random situation by using
`rustls_default_crypto_provider_random()` to provide a `Curl_ssl`
`random` callback that fills the provided buffer with cryptographically
secure random data.
The mentions in `docs/` about weak RNG when using rustls are removed as
they are no longer applicable.
Closes#14889
* Documentation is updated to describe new required version, and to link
to the upstream README about cryptography providers.
* GitHub workflow is updated to fetch 0.14.0.
* Breaking changes in`lib/vtls/rustls.c` are addressed:
* The `rustls_client_config_builder_build()` function now uses an out
parameter for the built config instead of returning it directly.
This allows the building process to fail if the default crypto
provider state isn't appropriate, or another error condition occurs.
* Default ciphersuites are collected using renamed functions named to
make it clear the ciphersuites are associated with the default
crypto provider.
* Customization of ciphersuites is now done via
a `rustls_crypto_provider_builder` used to instantiate a
`rustls_crypto_provider`. The customized provider can then can be
used with `rustls_client_config_builder_new_custom` in place of
providing ciphersuites directly.
* `rustls_connection_get_negotiated_ciphersuite()` now returns the
ciphersuite ID directly.

Closes#14775
Change mingw-w64 printf format checks in public curl headers to use
`__MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT` instead of `gnu_printf`. This syncs the format
checker with format string macros published via `curl/system.h`. (Also
disable format checks for mingw-w64 older than 3.0.0 (2013-09-20) and
classic-mingw, which do not support this macro.)
This fixes bogus format checker `-Wformat` warnings in 3rd party code
using curl format strings with the curl printf functions, when using
mingw-w64 7.0.0 (2019-11-10) and older (with GCC, MSVCRT).
It also allows to delete two workaounds for this within curl itself:
- setting `-D__USE_MINGW_ANSI_STDIO=1` for mingw-w64 via cmake and
configure for `docs/examples` and `tests/http/clients`.
Ref: c730c8549b#14640
The format check macro is incompatible (depending on mingw-w64 version
and configuration) with the C99 `%z` (`size_t`) format string used
internally by curl.
To work around this problem, override the format check style in curl
public headers to use `gnu_printf`. This is compatible with `%z` in all
mingw-w64 versions and allows keeping the C99 format strings internally.

Add tweak for mingw-w64 when building tests/http/client programs to
avoid a bogus `-Wformat` warning when using mingw-w64 v7.0.0 or older.
The warning is bogus because these programs use curl's `printf()`
implementation that is guaranteed to support that format spec.
Add this for both CMake and autotools. (But only CMake is CI tested with
an old toolchain.)
Apply the workaround to `docs/examples`, and fix an example to use

CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2_PRIOR_KNOWLEDGE (tool: --http2-prior-knowledge) is
meant to send non-TLS HTTP requests HTTP/2 when it is known the server

Closes#14031
When libcurl discards a connection there are two phases this may go
through: "shutdown" and "closing". If a connection is aborted, the
shutdown phase is skipped and it is closed right away.
The connection filters attached to the connection implement the phases
in their `do_shutdown()` and `do_close()` callbacks. Filters carry now a
`shutdown` flags next to `connected` to keep track of the shutdown
operation.
Filters are shut down from top to bottom. If a filter is not connected,
its shutdown is skipped. Notable filters that *do* something during
shutdown are HTTP/2 and TLS. HTTP/2 sends the GOAWAY frame. TLS sends
its close notify and expects to receive a close notify from the server.
As sends and receives may EAGAIN on the network, a shutdown is often not
successful right away and needs to poll the connection's socket(s). To
facilitate this, such connections are placed on a new shutdown list
inside the connection cache.
Since managing this list requires the cooperation of a multi handle,
only the connection cache belonging to a multi handle is used. If a
connection was in another cache when being discarded, it is removed
there and added to the multi's cache. If no multi handle is available at
that time, the connection is shutdown and closed in a one-time,
best-effort attempt.
When a multi handle is destroyed, all connection still on the shutdown
list are discarded with a final shutdown attempt and close. In curl
debug builds, the environment variable `CURL_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN` can be
set to make this graceful with a timeout in milliseconds given by the
variable.
The shutdown list is limited to the max number of connections configured
for a multi cache. Set via CURLMOPT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS. When the
limit is reached, the oldest connection on the shutdown list is
discarded.
- In multi_wait() and multi_waitfds(), collect all connection caches
involved (each transfer might carry its own) into a temporary list.
Let each connection cache on the list contribute sockets and
POLLIN/OUT events it's connections are waiting for.
- in multi_perform() collect the connection caches the same way and let
them peform their maintenance. This will make another non-blocking
attempt to shutdown all connections on its shutdown list.
- for event based multis (multi->socket_cb set), add the sockets and
their poll events via the callback. When `multi_socket()` is invoked
for a socket not known by an active transfer, forward this to the
multi's cache for processing. On closing a connection, remove its
socket(s) via the callback.
TLS connection filters MUST NOT send close nofity messages in their
`do_close()` implementation. The reason is that a TLS close notify
signals a success. When a connection is aborted and skips its shutdown
phase, the server needs to see a missing close notify to detect
something has gone wrong.
A graceful shutdown of FTP's data connection is performed implicitly
before regarding the upload/download as complete and continuing on the
control connection. For FTP without TLS, there is just the socket close
happening. But with TLS, the sent/received close notify signals that the
transfer is complete and healthy. Servers like `vsftpd` verify that and
reject uploads without a TLS close notify.
- added test_19_* for shutdown related tests
- test_19_01 and test_19_02 test for TCP RST packets
which happen without a graceful shutdown and should
no longer appear otherwise.

- add test_19_04 for handling shutdowns by curl
- add test_19_05 for event based shutdowny by server

This adds connection shutdown infrastructure and first use for FTP. FTP
data connections, when not encountering an error, are now shut down in a
blocking way with a 2sec timeout.
- add cfilter `Curl_cft_shutdown` callback
- keep a shutdown start timestamp and timeout at connectdata
- provide shutdown timeout default and member in
`data->set.shutdowntimeout`.
- provide methods for starting, interrogating and clearing
shutdown timers
- provide `Curl_conn_shutdown_blocking()` to shutdown the
`sockindex` filter chain in a blocking way. Use that in FTP.
- add `Curl_conn_cf_poll()` to wait for socket events during
shutdown of a connection filter chain.
This gets the monitoring sockets and events via the filters
"adjust_pollset()" methods. This gives correct behaviour when
shutting down a TLS connection through a HTTP/2 proxy.
- Implement shutdown for all socket filters
- for HTTP/2 and h2 proxying to send GOAWAY
- for TLS backends to the best of their capabilities
- for tcp socket filter to make a final, nonblocking
receive to avoid unwanted RST states
- add shutdown forwarding to happy eyeballers and
https connect ballers when applicable.
Closes#13904
Multipath TCP (MPTCP), standardized in RFC8684 [1], is a TCP extension
that enables a TCP connection to use different paths.
Multipath TCP has been used for several use cases. On smartphones, MPTCP
enables seamless handovers between cellular and Wi-Fi networks while
preserving established connections. This use-case is what pushed Apple
to use MPTCP since 2013 in multiple applications [2]. On dual-stack
hosts, Multipath TCP enables the TCP connection to automatically use the
best performing path, either IPv4 or IPv6. If one path fails, MPTCP
automatically uses the other path.
To benefit from MPTCP, both the client and the server have to support
it. Multipath TCP is a backward-compatible TCP extension that is enabled
by default on recent Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Redhat, ...).
Multipath TCP is included in the Linux kernel since version 5.6 [3]. To
use it on Linux, an application must explicitly enable it when creating
the socket. No need to change anything else in the application.
This attached patch adds an --mptcp option which allows the creation of
an MPTCP socket instead of TCP on Linux. If Multipath TCP is not
supported on the system, an error will be reported. It is important to
note that if the end server doesn't support MPTCP, the connection will
continue after a seamless fallback to TCP.

Closes#13278
Introduce new notation for CURLOPT_INTERFACE / --interface:
ifhost!<interface>!<host>
Binding to an interface doesn't set the address, and an interface can
have multiple addresses.
When binding to an address (without interface), the kernel is free to
choose the route, and it can route through any device that can access
the target address, not necessarily the one with the chosen address.
Moreover, it is possible for different interfaces to have the same IP
address, on which case we need to provide a way to be more specific.
Factor out the parsing part of interface option, and add unit tests:
1663.

- Remove the locking callback code that demonstrates how to meet
requirements of threading libraries (mainly OpenSSL).
Locking callback code has not been needed for many years. According to
the documentation for OpenSSL and GnuTLS they are thread-safe by design,
assuming support for the underlying OS threading API is built-in.

Used for extracting:
- when used asking for a scheme, it will return CURLUE_NO_SCHEME if the
stored information was a guess
- when used asking for a URL, the URL is returned without a scheme, like
when previously given to the URL parser when it was asked to guess
- as soon as the scheme is set explicitly, it is no longer internally
marked as guessed
The idea being:
1. allow a user to figure out if a URL's scheme was set as a result of
guessing
2. extract the URL without a guessed scheme
3. this makes it work similar to how we already deal with port numbers
Extend test 1560 to verify.

Like when we list a series of options and then want to add "normal" text

- Revert to the legacy TLS 1.2 key logging code for LibreSSL.
- Document SSLKEYLOGFILE for LibreSSL is TLS 1.2 max.
Prior to this change if the user specified a filename in the
SSLKEYLOGFILE environment variable and was using LibreSSL 3.5.0+ then
an empty file would be created and no keys would be logged.
This is effectively a revert of e43474b4 which changed openssl.c to use
SSL_CTX_set_keylog_callback for LibreSSL 3.5.0+. Unfortunately LibreSSL
added that function only as a stub that doesn't actually do anything.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13682
curl drops support for TLS libraries without TLS 1.3 capability after
May 2025.
It requires that a curl build using the library should be able to
negotiate and use TLS 1.3, or else it is not good enough. We support a
vast amount of other TLS libraries that are likely to satisfy users
better.
Closes#13544
- Clear data->state.os_errno before transfer.
- Explain the change in behavior in the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc.
- Add to the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc the list of libcurl network-related
errors that may cause the errno to be saved.
data->state.os_errno is saved before libcurl returns a network-related
failure such as connection failure. It is accessible to the user via
CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO so they can get more information about the failure.
Prior to this change it wasn't cleared before transfer, so if a user
retrieved the saved errno it could be from a previous transfer. That is
because an errno is not always saved for network-related errors.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13574
CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET and CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE are both completely dead
so remove their example sections since the code there is useless.
There is still a way to inject a random file for OpenSSL older than

with this option) so we refrain from documenting it here.

Use a lookup list to set the cipher suites, allowing the

- Call OPENSSL_thread_stop on thread termination (DLL_THREAD_DETACH)
to prevent a memory leak in case OpenSSL is linked statically.
- Warn in libcurl-thread.3 that if OpenSSL is linked statically then it
may require thread cleanup.
OpenSSL may need per-thread cleanup to stop a memory leak. For Windows
and Cygwin if libcurl was built as a DLL then we can do that for the
user by calling OPENSSL_thread_stop on thread termination. However, if
libcurl was built statically then we do not have notification of thread
termination and cannot do that for the user.
Also, there are several other unusual cases where it may be necessary
for the user to call OPENSSL_thread_stop, so in the libcurl-thread
warning I added a link to the OpenSSL documentation.
