Tweaks around handling of --limit-rate:
* tracing: trace outstanding timeouts by name
* multi: do not mark transfer as dirty that have
an EXPIRE_TOOFAST set
* multi: have one static function to asses speed limits
* multi: when setting EXPIRE_TOOFAST remove the transfers
from the dirty set
* progress: rename vars and comment on how speed limit
timeouts are calculated, for clarity
* transfer: when speed limiting, exit the receive loop
after a quarter of the limit has been received, not
on the first chunk received.
* cf-ip-happy.c: clear EXPIRE_HAPPY_EYEBALLS on connect
* scorecard: add --limit-rate parameter to test with
speed limits in effect
Closes#18454
test_10_08, uploading larger files for a h2 proxy, sporadically fails
with a decrpytion error on received data in AWS-LC. The frequency can
be increased by simulated network receive blocks.
Not setting a 4 * TLS record sized buffer, leaving AWS-LC at its
default buffer size seems to mitigate this problem.

Write out 9-length frames to client's WRITEFUNCTION
Read 0-length frames from READFUNCTION *if* the function

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.

libtests and clients were built the same way after recent overhauls.
libtests are used by runtests, clients by pytests.
Merge clients into libtests, aligning their entry function signature,
dropping common utility functions, and simplifying the build.
Note: After this patch `CURLDEBUG` applies to cli tests, when enabled.
Also:
- lib552: drop local copy-paste debug callback in favor of testtrace.
- lib552: drop local copy-paste dump function in favor of testtrace.
- clients: use `long` for HTTP version, drop casts.
- clients: replace local dump function in favor of testrace clone.
- sync cli test entry function prototype with libtests'.
- h2_serverpush: replace local trace callback with testtrace.
- de-duplicate 3 websocket close, ping, ping, functions. Kept the pong
iteration from `ws_pingpong`. Note: the pong clone in `lib2304` was
returning an error when `curl_ws_recv()` returned non-zero and
the payload matched the expected one anyway. After this patch, this
case returns success, as it does in `ws_pingpong`.
`lib2304` keeps passing, but I'm not sure if the previous behavior
was intentional.
- display full value in websocket close, ping, pong, drop casts.
Closes#18079

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.

Eliminating the socket readability check in the socket connection
filters for the 'data_pending' callback. Improves performance of
handling of transfers, up to ~30%, depending on parallelism and response
size.
Whatever `data_pending()` once was, its semantics are now:
"Is there anything buffered in the connection filters that needs
receive?"
Any checks of the socket's readability are done via `multi_wait()`
and friends.
Fix the one place in HTTP/1 proxy code that checked `data_pending()` and
did an early return if false. Remove that check and actually try to
receive data every time.

Sync build properties with libtests.
This allows accessing macros from `curl_config.h`, for feature flags.
Smoothens out platform bumps, allowing to drop local replicas from
client sources. It enables using Windows wrappers, e.g. for `fopen()`.
Also fix client sources to use `curl_mfprintf()` where curl format
strings are used. (To avoid build failure with older mingw-w64, e.g.
6.4.0 in CI.)
Follow-up to 739c09c8a4#17627Closes#17642
To make building the http client tests faster, with no duplication, by
using the build method that other test binaries already use.
The difference compared to other tests is that these don't use internal
libcurl headers or code. With the exception of `curl_config.h`, for
a feature macro.
Before this patch, these tests were built like examples.
Also:
- de-duplicate code and give unique names to colliding symbols.
- add local getopt implementation and enable all code for MSVC.

Make test bundles the default. Drop non-bundle build mode.
Also do all the optimizations and tidy-ups this allows, simpler builds,
less bundle exceptions, streamlined build mechanics.
Also rework the init/deinit macro magic for unit tests. The new method
allows using unique init/deinit function names, and calling them with
arguments. This is in turn makes it possible to reduce the use of global
variables.
Note this drop existing build options `-DCURL_TEST_BUNDLES=` from cmake
and `--enable-test-bundles` / `--disable-test-bundles` from autotools.
Also:
- rename test entry functions to have unique names: `test_<testname>`
This removes the last exception that was handled in the generator.
- fix `make dist` to not miss test sources with test bundles enabled.
- sync and merge `tests/mk-bundle.pl` into `scripts/mk-unity.pl`.
- mk-unity.pl: add `--embed` option and use it when `CURL_CLANG_TIDY=ON`
to ensure that `clang-tidy` does not miss external test C sources.
(because `clang-tidy` ignores code that's #included.)
- tests/unit: drop no-op setup/stop functions.
- tests: reduce symbol scopes, global macros, other fixes and tidy-ups.
- tool1621: fix to run, also fix it to pass.
- sockfilt: fix Windows compiler warning in certain unity include order,
by explicitly including `warnless.h`.

These libraries do not support TLS 1.3 and have been marked for removal
for over a year. We want to help users select a TLS dependency that is
future-proof and reliable, and not supporting TLS 1.3 in 2025 does not

and get something more future-proof with a TLS library that supports
1.3.

This started out as regression tests for the `curl_ws_recv()` and
`curl_ws_send()` implementation and ended up with a bugfix, additional
protocol validation and minor logging improvements.
- Fix reset of fragmented message decoder state when a PING/PONG is
received in between message fragments.
- Fix undefined behavior (applying zero offset to null pointer) in
curl_ws_send() when the given buffer is NULL.
- Detect invalid overlong PING/PONG/CLOSE frames.
- Detect invalid fragmented PING/PONG/CLOSE frames.
- Detect invalid sequences of fragmented frames.
- a) A continuation frame (0x80...) is received without any ongoing
fragmented message.
- b) A new fragmented message is started (0x81/0x01/0x82/0x02...)
before the ongoing fragmented message has terminated.
- Made logs for invalid opcodes easier to understand.
- Moved noisy logs to the `CURL_TRC_WS` log level.
- Unified the prefixes for WebSocket log messages: `[WS] ...`
- Add env var `CURL_WS_FORCE_ZERO_MASK` in debug builds.
- If set, it forces the bit mask applied to outgoing payloads to
0x00000000, which effectively means the payload is not masked at
all. This drastically simplifies defining the expected `<protocol>`
data in test cases.

- This test involuntarily sent an invalid sequence of opcodes (0x01...,0x01...,0x81...) , but neither libcurl nor the test caught this! The correct sequence was tested in 2311 (0x01...,0x00...,0x80...). See below for 2311.
- Validation of the opcode sequence was added to libcurl and is now tested in 2723.
- Superseded by 2719 (fragmented message) and 2707 (large frames).
- 2307: overlong PING payload
- The tested PING payload length check was actually missing, but the test didn't catch this since it involuntarily sent an invalid opcode (0x19... instead of 0x89...) so that the expected error occurred, but for the wrong reason.
- Superseded by 2713.

- Superseded by 2703 and extended by 2704 and 2705.

When inspecting a possible follow HTTP request, the result of a rewind
of the upload data was ignored as it was not clear at that point in time

done or not.
Fix: fail the early rewind when the request is not converted to GET.

To avoid redundant work in CI and to avoid a single checksrc issue make
all autotools jobs fail. After this patch checksrc issues make fail
the checksrc job, the `dist / verify-out-of-tree-autotools-debug`,
`dist / maketgz-and-verify-in-tree` jobs and the fuzzer job (if run).
Of these, the `dist` jobs replicate local builds, also testing the build
logic.
Also add a script to check the complete local repository, optionally
with the build tree to verify generated C files.
Also:
- automatically run checksrc in subdirectories having a `checksrc`
target. (examples, OS400, tests http/client, unit and tunit)
- tests/libtest: make sure to run `checksrc` on generated `lib1521.c`.
(requires in-tree autotools build.)
- tests: run `checksrc` on targets also for non-`DEBUGBUILD`
builds. It ensures to check `lib1521.c` in CI via job
`dist / maketgz-and-verify-in-tree`.
- src: drop redundant `$(builddir)` in autotools builds.
- scripts: add `checksrc-all.sh` script to check all C sources and
the build directory as an option.
- use the above from CI, also make it verify all generated sources.
- silence `checksrc` issues in generated C sources.
- checksrc: add `-v` option to enable verbose mode.
- checksrc: make verbose mode show checked filename and fix to only
return error on failure.
- make sure that generated C files pass `checksrc`.
