If a malicious server can trigger a NULL dereference in curl or
otherwise cause curl to crash (and nothing worse), chances are big that
we do not consider that a security problem.
Closes#13974
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
Fixes:
- in uds tests, abort also silently on os errors
- be conservative on the h3 goaway duration
- detect curl debug build and use in checks
- fix caddy version check for slight difference under linux
- set caddy default path fitting for linux
- fix deprecation warnings in valid time checks
FTP tests:
- add '--with-test-vsftpd=path' to configure
- use vsftpd default path suitable for linux
- add test_30 with plain FTP tests
- add test_31 with --ssl-reqd FTP tests
- add vsftpd to linux GHA for pytest workflows
Closes#13661
WolfSSL/WolfSSH use a different versioning scheme;
stable builds end with `-stable`. Renovate requires
some extra configuration to extract the version
from these types of tags.
Closes#13644
Use a lookup list to set the cipher suites, allowing the
ciphers to be set by either openssl or IANA names.
To keep the binary size of the lookup list down we compress
each entry in the cipher list down to 2 + 6 bytes using the
C preprocessor.
Closes#13442
- use `$()` instead of backticks, and re-arrange double-quotes inside.
- add missing `|| exit 1` to `cd` calls. (could be dropped by using `set -eu`.)
- add `-n` to a few `if`s.
- shorten redirections by using `{} >` (as shellcheck recommended).
- silence warnings where variables were detected as unused (SC2034).
- a couple misc updates to silence warnings.
- switch to bash shebang for `-ot` feature.
- split two lines to unbreak syntax highlighting in my editor. (`$(expr \`, `$(dirname \`)
Also enable CI checks for OS/400 shell scripts.

Lots of organizations distribute curl packages to end users. This is a
collection of pointers to where to learn more about curl on and with
each distro.

Closes#13178
- Turn docs/INSTALL.cmake into a proper markdown file,
docs/INSTALL-CMAKE.md
- Move things around to divide the description into configuration,
building and installing sections
- Mention the more modern cmake options to configure, build and install,
but also retain the older variants as fallbacks
Closes#12772
This means words, phrases or things we have decided not to use - words that
are spelled right according to the dictionary but we want to avoid. In the
name of consistency and better documentation.
Closes#12764
- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md,
as the documentation is now markdown-looking.
- made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes
- switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file,
which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the
previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md
ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make
them sort separately:
_NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md,
_VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md,
_OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md,
_EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md
- updated test cases accordingly
Closes#12751
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.
CI:
Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...
Closes#12730
- Check that all backslashes in EXAMPLE are properly escaped.
eg manpage must always use `\\n` never `\n`.
This is because the manpage requires we always double blackslash to show
a single backslash. Prior to this change an erroneous single backslash
would pass through and compile even though it would not show correctly
in the manpage.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/12589
- use the correct include file
- make sure they are declared as in the header file
- fix minor nroff syntax mistakes (missing .fi)
These are verified by verify-synopsis.pl, which extracts the SYNPOSIS
code and runs it through gcc.
Closes#12402
- Move documentation of libcurl environment variables used only in debug
builds from libcurl-env into a separate document libcurl-env-dbg.
- Document more debug environment variables.
Previously undocumented or missing a description:
CURL_ALTSVC_HTTP, CURL_DBG_SOCK_WBLOCK, CURL_DBG_SOCK_WPARTIAL,
CURL_DBG_QUIC_WBLOCK, CURL_DEBUG, CURL_DEBUG_SIZE, CURL_GETHOSTNAME,
CURL_HSTS_HTTP, CURL_FORCETIME, CURL_SMALLREQSEND, CURL_SMALLSENDS,
CURL_TIME.

These two functions were added in 7.44.0 when CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION was
introduced but always lived a life in the shadows, embedded in the
CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION man page. Until now.
It makes better sense and gives more visibility to document them in
their own stand-alone man pages.
Closes#11286
