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_03 for handling shutdowns by the server
- add test_19_04 for handling shutdowns by curl
- add test_19_05 for event based shutdowny by server
- add test_30_06/07 and test_31_06/07 for shutdown checks
on FTP up- and downloads.
Closes#13976
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
- pytest has changed the signature of the hook pytest_report_header()
for some obscure reason and that change landed in our CI now
- remove the changed param that we never used anyway
Closes#13037
- delete completed TODO from `./CMakeLists.txt`.
- convert a C++ comment to C89 in `./CMake/CurlTests.c`.
- delete duplicate EOLs from EOF.
- add missing EOL at EOF.
- delete whitespace at EOL (except from expected test results).
- convert tabs to spaces.
- convert CRLF EOLs to LF in GHA yaml.
- text casing fixes in `./CMakeLists.txt`.
- fix a codespell typo in `packages/OS400/initscript.sh`.
Closes#11772
- added to: ngtcp2-quictls, ngtcp2-gnutls and the linux varians
quiche, bearssl, libressl, mbedtls, openssl3, rustls
- added disabled in ngtcp2-wolfssl due to weird SSL_connect() errors
not reproducable locally
Improvements on pytest:
- handling of systems with nghttpx in $PATH
- configure will seach $PATH got nghttpx used in pytest
- pytest fixes for managing nghttpx without h3 support
- ngtcp2-wolfssl: use a fully enabled wolfssl build
- lower parallel count for http/1.1 tests, since we do not
want to test excessive connections.
- check built curl for HTTPS-proxy support in proxy tests
- bearssl does not like one of our critical cert extensions, making
it non-critical now
- bearssl is too slow for test_12, skipping
- making sure we do h3 tests only when curl and server support is there
Closes#10699
- necessary ports are bound at start of test suite and then
given to server fixtures for use.
- this make parallel use of pytest (in separate directories),
practically safe for use as OS tend to not reuse such port numbers
for a while
Closes#10692
- httpd is only one server we test with
- the suite coveres the HTTP protocol in general where
the default test cases need a more beefy environment
Closes#10654
