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".

To reduce log noise in local test runs:
- move the `buildinfo.txt` dump and header info lines
`OS:`, `Perl:`, `diff:` behind a `--ci` `runtests.pl` option.
- enable this option for the CI test targets.
- hide `Env:` header info line if empty.
- merge `Env:` output into a single `logmsg()` call.
Closes#18147
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
Setting the path component to contain the letters:
! $ & ' ( ) { } [ ] * + , ; = : @

Fixes#17977Closes#18024
This patch bumps the size of these macros 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:
- CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_FLAG
- CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_NONE
- CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG
- CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE
- CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT
- CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY
- CURLSSH_AUTH_DEFAULT
- CURLSSH_AUTH_GSSAPI
- CURLSSH_AUTH_HOST
- CURLSSH_AUTH_KEYBOARD
- CURLSSH_AUTH_NONE
- CURLSSH_AUTH_PASSWORD
- CURLSSH_AUTH_PUBLICKEY
Also:
- keep existing cast within the documentation to make sure it applies
to older curl versions as well.
Closes#18134
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
wolfSSL similar to OpenSSL. Fix the wolfSSl implementation for TCP to
behave like that. Update the QUIC queries.
Fix rustls `get_internals()` to return the rustls_connection* and not
the address of the pointer.

Closes#17613
When doing HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, it is possible to achieve quite a massive
parallelism so limiting this to 300 seems restrictive.
With other protocols, going beyond 300-400 might not be recommended but
curl does not have to enforce the limit.
Closes#18068
Add a new commandline option --out-null that discards all
response bytes into the void. Replaces non-portable use of

Feature added in 8.16.0
Closes#17800
mingw-w64 3.0 was released on 2013-09-20. Offered by Debian jessie.
1.0 and 2.0 were released in 2011. It seems unlikely that many people
use them. The oldest downloadable toolchain (that I know of) comes with
3.0. Due to this, older versions weren't CI tested, and probably seldom
tested elsewhere. The last bugfix update for both 1.0 and 2.0 was
released in 2015.
curl can now assume availability of these 3.0 features/fixes:
- 64-bit file offsets.
- `ADDRESS_FAMILY` type.
- `__MINGW_PRINTF_FORMAT` macro. (in public curl headers)
Public curl headers keep supporting older mingw-w64 versions.
Fixes#17984Closes#18010
Before this patch we explicitly linked the full list of libcurl
dependency libs to tests and examples via `CURL_LIBS`. This was
redundant, because test and example code do not directly use these
dependency libs and for indirect use they are implicitly passed
via libcurl as needed. After this patch, tests and examples only link
explicitly to system libs (e.g. socket).
Also bringing it closer to how `./configure` does this.
Borrow the variable name `CURL_NETWORK_AND_TIME_LIBS` from
`./configure`. However, its content is not exactly the same. With cmake
it also holds `pthread`, but doesn't hold AmiSSL.
Closes#17696
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_NOCWD
- CURLFTPMETHOD_SINGLECWD
- CURLFTPSSL_CCC_ACTIVE

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'.

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.
Closes#17877
If the long option name ends with an equals sign (`=`), the argument is
the text following on its right side.
This makes the command line parser accept this common style in addition
to the existing way to accept option arguments more similar to how other
command line tools do.
Example: `curl --user-agent=curl-2000 https://example.com/`
Change a few existing tests to use this syntax: 206, 1333, 1335, 1442
Closes#17789
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.

- runtests: fix `codeset-utf8` feature detection. Before this patch it
detected if the calling environment had UTF-8 enabled. If not, UTF-8
tests were all skipped. After this patch, it detects if UTF-8 is
supported by the calling environment regardless of what's currently
enabled.

- GHA/macos: fix to actually enable `codeset-test`. Also set `LC_ALL`,
which seems necessary to trigger issues.
Follow-up to c221c0ee59#17938
- tests/data: replace `LC_CTYPE` env with `LC_ALL` in all tests
requiring a locale. Also to avoid potential issues with a blank or
unset `LC_ALL`, as seen earlier. And to ensure that the override works
on all platforms (as tested in CI.)
Slight downside is that this now resets the language/culture to `C`.

- replace `en_US.UTF-8` with `C.UTF-8` to be language/culture-agnostic.
- TEST-SUITE.md: drop `UTF-8` as a requirement for tests.

Tests requiring UTF-8 locale:
