Bugfixes

These are the perhaps most important ones fixed this time:

  • fix configure –with-ca-embed. It could otherwise sometimes lead to an empty bundled CA store.
  • cmake: ensure CURL_USE_OPENSSL/USE_OPENSSL_QUIC are set in sync
  • cmake: fix MSH3 to appear on the feature list
  • runtests: accecpt ‘quictls’ as OpenSSL compatible. It would previously skip a few tests that are marked OpenSSL specific.
  • connect: store connection info when really done
  • fix FTP CRLF line endings for ASCII transfer regression. Perhaps most notably this problem was seen on directory listings, which are done using ASCII mode.
  • fix HTTP/2 end-of-stream handling when uploading data from stdin
  • http: make max-filesize check not count ignored bodies. Like in the case where a URL is redirected to a second place, the first URL might still provide a body that curl ignores.
  • fix AF_INET6 use outside of USE_IPV6. Made the build fail on systems without IPv6 support.
  • check that the multi handle is valid in curl_multi_assign. Perhaps not exactly libcurl’s responsibility, but we found at least one application that did this after the 8.10.0 upgrade.
  • on QUIC connects, keep on trying on draining server
  • request: correctly reset the eos_sent flag. When doing multiple HTTP/2 uploads using the same handle – this caused problems for git.
  • transfer: fix sendrecv() without interim poll. An optimization that optimized a little too much… Most commonly this problem was seen with PHP programs that often (but unwisely) skip the polling.
  • rustls: fixed minor logic bug in default cipher selection
  • rustls: support strong CSRNG data. Now every curl build using TLS ensures use of strong random numbers.
