Remove use of pthread_cancel in asnyc threaded resolving. While there
are system where this works, others might leak to resource leakage
(memory, files, etc.). The popular nsswitch is one example where resolve
code can be dragged in that is not prepared.
The overall promise and mechanism of pthread_cancel() is just too
brittle and the historcal design of getaddrinfo() continues to haunt us.

Closes#18540
Some applications may want to periodically recheck the remote server
certificate, which doesn't happen on a long-running connection.
Ref: #18527Closes#18533
To make the texts easier on the eye.
- Remove most free text references to curl versions before 7.60.0 (May
2018)
- Leave those present in a HISTORY section
Most of them are already documented in symbols-in-versions anyway.
Closes#18530
Set a default value to only reuse existing connections if less than 24
hours old. This makes the TLS certificate check get redone for the new
connection. An application can still set it to zero.
Closes#18527
Write out 9-length frames to client's WRITEFUNCTION

Changed strategy to start up and terminate resolver thread.
When starting up:
Start the thread with mutex acquired, wait for signal from thread that
it started and has incremented the ref counter. Thread set
pthread_cancel() to disabled before that and only enables cancelling
during resolving itself. This assure that the ref counter is correct and
the unlinking of the resolve context always happens.
When shutting down resolving:
If ref counting shows thread has finished, join it, free everything. If
thread has not finished, try pthread_cancel() (non Windows), but keep
the thread handle around.
When destroying resolving:
Shutdown first, then, if the thread is still there and 'quick_exit' is
not set, join it and free everything. This might occur a delay if
getaddrinfo() hangs and cannot be interrupted by pthread_cancel().
Destroying resolving happens when another resolve is started on an
easy handle or when the easy handle is closed.
Add test795 to check that connect timeout triggers correctly
when resolving is delayed. Add debug env var `CURL_DNS_DELAY_MS`
to simulate delays in resolving.
Fix test1557 to set `quick_exit` and use `xxx.invalid` as domain
instead of `nothing` that was leading to hangers in CI.
Closes#18263
When an application install its own OpenSSL verify callback and that
callback invokes `SSL_set_retry_verify()`, the transfer is automatically
paused and does not progress the connect attempt any further until
unpaused via `curl_easy_pause().
Added test758 to verify.

- these ones look more obvious fake and in need of replacement
- avoids the risk that they might decode to something of value

Add support for CURLOPT_READFUNCTION with WebSocket urls when *not* in
connect-only mode, e.g. when using curl_multi_perform.
Install the callback function and set CURLOPT_UPLOAD. Return
CURL_READFUNC_PAUSE when having nothing more to send and unpause the
transfer when more data is ready.
This will send the read bytes in a WebSocket BINARY frame.
Add support for this mode in the pytest "ws_data" client and have all
tests run in 'curl_ws_send/recv' and 'peform' mode as well.
Add `curl_ws_start_frame()`. Document, cover in libcurl-ws.md and
explain the READFUNCTION mode for websockets.
Add example `websocket-updown` for this.
Closes#17683
Hold them for half the normal lifetime. Helps when told to transfer N
URLs in quick succession that all use the same non-resolving hostname.
Done by storing a DNS entry with a NULL pointer for 'addr'.
Previously an attempt was made in #12406 by Björn Stenberg that was
ultimately never merged.
Closes#18157
Adds `curl_off_t curl_multi_get_offt(CURLM *multi_handle, CURLMinfo_offt
info)` to the multi interface with enums:
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_CURRENT: current number of transfers
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_RUNNING: number of running transfers
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_PENDING: number of pending transfers
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_DONE: number of finished transfers to read
* CURLMINFO_XFERS_ADDED: total number of transfers added, ever
Add documentation for functions and info enums.
Add use in the curl command line tool to replace two static
variables counting the same "from the outside".

Some CURLOPT constants defined in the curl public headers were initially
enums (= ints), or macros with bare numeric values. Recent curl releases
upgraded them to `long` constants, to make them pass correctly to
`curl_easy_setop()` by default, i.e. without requiring a `(long)` cast.
This patch drops such casts from the examples embedded in the docs. At
the same time it documents which curl release made them `long` types,
to keep them useful when working with previous libcurl versions.
Also:
- drop a `(long)` cast that was never necessary.
- CURLOPT_ALTSVC_CTRL.md: bump local copy of macros to long.
- test1119: make it ignore symbols ending with an underscore, to skip
wildcard, e.g. `**CURLAUTH_***`.
Closes#18130

Add tests of CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR and its returned value in test client
'hx-download'. Use obtained pointer to look up the negotiated TLS
version.
Update manpage of CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR to also describe the behaviour of

behave like that. Update the QUIC queries.
Fix rustls `get_internals()` to return the rustls_connection* and not

Closes#17613
This patch bumps the size of these constants from `int` to `long`, while
keeping their actual values the same. It may cause incompatibilities in
user code, requiring the bump of holder variables and/or adding casts:
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_NONE
- CURLFTP_CREATE_DIR_RETRY
- CURLFTPAUTH_DEFAULT
- CURLFTPAUTH_SSL
- CURLFTPAUTH_TLS
- CURLFTPMETHOD_DEFAULT
- CURLFTPMETHOD_MULTICWD
- CURLFTPMETHOD_NOCWD
- CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_NONE
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_PASSIVE
Also:
- keep existing casts within the documentation to make sure it applies
to older curl versions as well.
Closes#17797
Also:
- CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL.md: sync macro definitions with `curl/curl.h`.
Perhaps it'd be better to delete copies like this?
- keep existing casts within the documentation to make sure it applies
to older curl versions as well.
- CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE.md: re-add a long cast to man page, for consistency
with the above.
Closes#17791
- add 'use warnings' and 'use strict' where missing from Perl scripts.
- fix 'Use of uninitialized value'.
- fix missing declarations.
- test1140.pl: fix 'Possible precedence issue with control flow operator'.
- fix other misc issues.
Most actual errors found during this PR were fixed and merged via
separate PRs.
Likely there are remaining warnings not found and fixed in this PR.

This still allows users to explictily ask for 1.0 or 1.1 as the minimum
version. If the TLS library allows it.
Starting with this change, the CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT value is no
longer used as minimum version when the TLS backend are called.
This also makes curl set the minimum version to 1.2 independently of
libcurl for the rare case where a newer curl tool would use an older
libcurl.

- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
`winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.
Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

Fix test 1175 by passing the source root directory (was: tests).
Before this patch this caused silent Perl warnings and returning success
without executing the tests, due to:
```
readline() on closed filehandle $f at ../../tests/test1175.pl line 55.
readline() on closed filehandle $f at ../../tests/test1175.pl line 39.
```
Running the test revealed these issues:
```
CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND is not in libcurl-errors.md
CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR is not in libcurl-errors.md
CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX is not in libcurl-errors.md
CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET is not in libcurl-errors.md
```
Apply fixes:
- mark `CURLE_FUNCTION_NOT_FOUND` deprecated by 7.53.0
- mark `CURLE_HTTP_POST_ERROR` deprecated by 7.56.0
- mark `CURLE_TELNET_OPTION_SYNTAX` deprecated by 7.78.0
- document `CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET` as a synonym for
`CURLM_CALL_MULTI_PERFORM`
- test1477: exclude `CURLM_CALL_MULTI_SOCKET`.
But, these weren't officially deprecated. It may need more updates
to reflect that in other places, or fix the issues differently.
