Connection filters can now carry the flag CF_TYPE_SETUP, indicating that
they are only needed during connection setup, e.g. connect.
Once the connection is fully established, those filter are removed
again. This frees resources and also makes the filter (call) chains
shorter.
Closes#21269
Make cf-https-connect work async correctly:
- only start first baller when at least one A/AAAA address
is available
- select first connect attempt after that with HTTPS-RR info
there or not.
- select second connect attempt only when HTTPS-RR is resolved
(may have resolved to "not known") and select possible ALPN
from things known by then. May not select any second attempt
when first already covers everything.
This means when the HTTPS-RR is known at/before the first address
is resolved, everything behaves as before. When the HTTPS-RR is
late, a first connection attempt will have been started. Any
ALPN preference from the HTTPS-RR that is not already ongoing will
then start the second attempt.
For HTTPS-RRs that recommend 2 or more ALPNs, the first will always
be attempted: either it is already ongong or it will be the ALPN
for the second attempt. The 2nd ALPN recommendation from HTTPS-RR
*may* be honored or not, depending on what is already selected.
The difference in behaviour between early/late HTTPS-RR resolve
cannot be helped - unless we do not perform any attempts before
it arrives. Trade offs.
Closes#21267
- allow to specify when they are wanted on starting a resolve
- match dns cache entries accordingly. An entry which never
tried to get HTTPS-RRs is no answer for a resolve that wants
it.
- fix late arrivals of resolve answers to match the "async"
records that started them - if it still exists.
- provide for multiple "async" resolves in a transfer at the
same time. We may need to resolve an IP interface while the
main connection resolve has not finished yet.
- allow lookup of HTTPS-RR information as soon as it is
available, even if A/AAAA queries are still ongoing.
For this, the "async" infrastructure is changed:
- Defined bits for DNS queries `CURL_DNSQ_A`, `CURL_DNSQ_AAAA`
and `CURL_DNSQ_HTTPS`. These replace `ip_version` which says
nothing about HTTPS.
Use them in dns cache entries for matching.
- enhance the `async->id` to be a unique `uint32_t` for
resolves inside one multi. This is weak, as the id may
wrap around. However it is combined with the `mid` of
the easy handle, making collisions highly unlikely.
`data->state.async` is only accessed in few places where
the mid/async-id match is performed.
- vtls: for ECH supporting TLS backends (openssl, rustls, wolfssl),
retrieve the HTTPS-RR information from the dns connection filter.
Delay the connect if the HTTPS-RR is needed, but has not
been resolved yet.
The implementation of all this is complete for the threaded
resolver. c-ares resolver and DoH do not take advantage of
all new async features yet. To be done in separate PRs.
Details:
c-ares: cleanup settings and initialisation. Any ares channel
is only being created on starting a resolve and propagating
operations in setopt.c to the channel are not helpful.
Changed threaded+ares pollset handling so that they do not
overwrite each others `ASYNC_NAME` timeouts.
Add trace name 'threads' for tracing thread queue and
pool used by threaded resolver.
Closes#21175
New connection filter `cf-dns` that manages DNS queries. If hands
out addresses and HTTPS-RR records to anyone interested. Used by
HTTPS and IP happy eyeballing.
Information may become available *before* the libcurl "dns entry"
is complete, e.g. all queries have been answered. The cf-ip-happy
filter uses this information to start connection attempts as soon
as the first address is available.
The multi MSTATE_RESOLVING was removed. A new connection always
goes to MSTATE_CONNECTING. The connectdata bit `dns_resolved`
indicates when DNS information is complete. This is used for
error reporting and starting the progress meter.
Removed dns entries `data->state.dns[i]`, as the `cf-dns` filter
now keeps the reference now.
Many minor tweaks for making this work and pass address information
around safely.

Use `data->progress.now` as the timestamp of proecssing a transfer.
Update it on significant events and refrain from calling `curlx_now()`
in many places.
The problem this addresses is
a) calling curlx_now() has costs, depending on platform. Calling it
every time results in 25% increase `./runtest` duration on macOS.
b) we used to pass a `struct curltime *` around to save on calls, but
when some method directly use `curx_now()` and some use the passed
pointer, the transfer experienes non-linear time. This results in
timeline checks to report events in the wrong order.
By keeping a timestamp in the easy handle and updating it there, no
longer invoking `curlx_now()` in the "lower" methods, the transfer
can observer a steady clock progression.

When the Alt-Svc points to the same host and port, add the destination
ALPN to the `wanted` versions and set it also as the `preferred` version
in negotiations.
This allows Alt-Svc for h3 to point to h2 and have it tried first. Also,
this allows Alt-Svc to say http/1.1 is preferred and changes the ALPN
protocol ordering for the TLS handshake.

Before this patch curl used the C preprocessor to override standard
memory allocation symbols: malloc, calloc, strdup, realloc, free.
The goal of these is to replace them with curl's debug wrappers in
`CURLDEBUG` builds, another was to replace them with the wrappers
calling user-defined allocators in libcurl. This solution needed a bunch
of workarounds to avoid breaking external headers: it relied on include
order to do the overriding last. For "unity" builds it needed to reset
overrides before external includes. Also in test apps, which are always
built as single source files. It also needed the `(symbol)` trick
to avoid overrides in some places. This would still not fix cases where
the standard symbols were macros. It was also fragile and difficult
to figure out which was the actual function behind an alloc or free call
in a specific piece of code. This in turn caused bugs where the wrong
allocator was accidentally called.
To avoid these problems, this patch replaces this solution with
`curlx_`-prefixed allocator macros, and mapping them _once_ to either
the libcurl wrappers, the debug wrappers or the standard ones, matching
the rest of the code in libtests.
This concludes the long journey to avoid redefining standard functions
in the curl codebase.
Note: I did not update `packages/OS400/*.c` sources. They did not
`#include` `curl_setup.h`, `curl_memory.h` or `memdebug.h`, meaning
the overrides were never applied to them. This may or may not have been
correct. For now I suppressed the direct use of standard allocators
via a local `.checksrc`. Probably they (except for `curlcl.c`) should be
updated to include `curl_setup.h` and use the `curlx_` macros.
This patch changes mappings in two places:
- `lib/curl_threads.c` in libtests: Before this patch it mapped to
libcurl allocators. After, it maps to standard allocators, like
the rest of libtests code.
- `units`: before this patch it mapped to standard allocators. After, it
maps to libcurl allocators.
Also:
- drop all position-dependent `curl_memory.h` and `memdebug.h` includes,
and delete the now unnecessary headers.
- rename `Curl_tcsdup` macro to `curlx_tcsdup` and define like the other
allocators.
- map `curlx_strdup()` to `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
To fix warnings silenced via `_CRT_NONSTDC_NO_DEPRECATE`.
- multibyte: map `curlx_convert_*()` to `_strdup()` on Windows
(was: `strdup()`).
- src: do not reuse the `strdup` name for the local replacement.
- lib509: call `_strdup()` on Windows (was: `strdup()`).
- test1132: delete test obsoleted by this patch.
- CHECKSRC.md: update text for `SNPRINTF`.
- checksrc: ban standard allocator symbols.

allow it to grow on demand.
- replace all protocol handler getsock() calls with pollsets
and a CURLcode to return failures

The `transport` to use for a transfer, e.g. TCP/QUIC/UNIX/UDP, is
initially selected by options and protocol used. This is set at the
`struct connectdata` as `transport` member.
During connection establishment, this transport may change due to
Alt-Svc or Happy-Eyeballing. Most common is the switch from TCP to QUIC.
Rename the connection member to `transport_wanted` and add a way to
query the connection for the transport in use via a new connection
filter query.
The filter query can also be used in the happy eyeballing attempts when
code needs to know which transport is used by the "filter below". This
happens in wolfssl initialization, as one example.
Closes#17923
Connection filters had a method `get_host()` which had not really been
documented. Since then, the cf had the `query()` method added. Replace
the separate get_host with query.
Add `CF_QUERY_HOST_PORT` as query to connection filters to retrieve
which remote hostname and port the filter (or its sub-filter) is talking
to. The query is implemented by HTTP and SOCKS filters, all others pass
it through.
Add `Curl_conn_get_current_host()` to retrieve the remote host and port
for a connection. During connect, this will return the host the
connection is talking to right now. Before/After connect, this will
return `conn->host.name`.
This is used by SASL authentication.
Closes#17419

The `struct Curl_dns_entry *` used to established a connection
do not have the connection's lifetime, but the transfer's lifetime
(of the transfer that initiates the connect).
`Curl_dns_entry *` is reference counted with the "dns cache". That
cache might be owned by the multi or the transfer's share. In the
share, the reference count needs updating under lock.
Therefore, the dns entry can only be kept *and* released using the
same transfer it was initially looked up from. But a connection is
often discarded using another transfer.
So far, the problem of this has been avoided in clearing the connection's
dns entries in the "multi_don()" handling. So, connections had NULL
dns entries after the initial transfers and its connect had been handled.
Keeping the dns entries in data->state seems therefore a better choice.
Also: remove the `struct Curl_dns_entry *` from the connect filters
contexts. Use `data->state.dns` every time instead and fail correctly
when not present and needed.
Closes#17383
Move curlx_ functions into its own subdir.
The idea is to use the curlx_ prefix proper on these functions, and use
these same function names both in tool, lib and test suite source code.
Stop the previous special #define setup for curlx_ names.
The printf defines are now done for the library alone. Tests no longer
use the printf defines. The tool code sets its own defines. The printf
functions are not curlx, they are publicly available.
The strcase defines are not curlx_ functions and should not be used by
tool or server code.
dynbuf, warnless, base64, strparse, timeval, timediff are now proper
curlx functions.
When libcurl is built statically, the functions from the library can be
used as-is. The key is then that the functions must work as-is, without
having to be recompiled for use in tool/tests. This avoids symbol
collisions - when libcurl is built statically, we use those functions
directly when building the tool/tests. When libcurl is shared, we
build/link them separately for the tool/tests.

Translate the `data->set.httpwant` which is one of the consts from the
public API (CURL_HTTP_VERSION_*) into a major version mask plus
additional flags for internal handling.
`Curl_http_neg_init()` does the translation and flags setting in http.c,
using new internal consts CURL_HTTP_V1x, CURL_HTTP_V2x and CURL_HTTP_V3x
for the major versions. The flags are
- only_10: when the application explicity asked fro HTTP/1.0
- h2_upgrade: when the application asks for upgrading 1.1 to 2.
- h2_prior_knowledge: when directly talking h2 without ALPN
- accept_09: when a HTTP/0.9 response is acceptable.
The Alt-Svc and HTTPS RR redirections from one ALPN to another obey the
allowed major versions. If a transfer has only h3 enabled, Alt-Svc
redirection to h2 is ignored.
This is the current implementation. It can be debated if Alt-Svc should
be able to override the allowed major versions. Added test_12_06 to
verify the current restriction.

Based on #14135, implement TLSv1.3 earlydata support for the curl
command line, libcurl and its implementation in GnuTLS.
If a known TLS session announces early data support, and the feature is
enabled *and* it is not a "connect-only" transfer, delay the TLS
handshake until the first request is being sent.
- Add --tls-earldata as new boolean command line option for curl.
- Add CURLSSLOPT_EARLYDATA to libcurl to enable use of the feature.
- Add CURLINFO_EARLYDATA_SENT_T to libcurl, reporting the amount of
bytes sent and accepted/rejected by the server.
Implementation details:
- store the ALPN protocol selected at the SSL session.
- When reusing the session and enabling earlydata, use exactly
that ALPN protocol for negoptiation with the server. When the
sessions ALPN does not match the connections ALPN, earlydata
will not be enabled.
- Check that the server selected the correct ALPN protocol for
an earlydata connect. If the server does not confirm or reports
something different, the connect fails.
- HTTP/2: delay sending the initial SETTINGS frames during connect,
if not connect-only.
Verification:
- add test_02_32 to verify earlydata GET with nghttpx.
- add test_07_70 to verify earlydata PUT with nghttpx.
- add support in 'hx-download', 'hx-upload' clients for the feature
