We introduce a way to send custom HTTP headers with all requests.
This allows us, for example, to send an extra token from build agents
for temporary access to private repositories. (This is the use case that
triggered this patch.)
This feature can be used like this:
git -c http.extraheader='Secret: sssh!' fetch $URL $REF
Note that `curl_easy_setopt(..., CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, ...)` takes only
a single list, overriding any previous call. This means we have to
collect _all_ of the headers we want to use into a single list, and
feed it to cURL in one shot. Since we already unconditionally set a
"pragma" header when initializing the curl handles, we can add our new
headers to that list.
For callers which override the default header list (like probe_rpc),
we provide `http_copy_default_headers()` so they can do the same
trick.
Big thanks to Jeff King and Junio Hamano for their outstanding help and
patient reviews.

Felix Ruess <felix.ruess@gmail.com> noticed that with configuration

The logic to detect various flavours of SOCKS proxy and ask the

Curl and its families honor several proxy related environment variables:
* http_proxy and https_proxy define proxy for http/https connections.
* no_proxy (a comma separated hosts) defines hosts bypass the proxy.
This command will bypass the bad-proxy and connect to the host directly:
no_proxy=* https_proxy=http://bad-proxy/ \
curl -sk https://google.com/
Before commit 372370f (http: use credential API to handle proxy auth...),
Environment variable "no_proxy" will take effect if the config variable
"http.proxy" is not set. So the following comamnd won't fail if not
behind a firewall.
no_proxy=* https_proxy=http://bad-proxy/ \
git ls-remote https://github.com/git/git
But commit 372370f not only read git config variable "http.proxy", but
also read "http_proxy" and "https_proxy" environment variables, and set
the curl option using:
curl_easy_setopt(result, CURLOPT_PROXY, proxy_auth.host);
This caused "no_proxy" environment variable not working any more.
Set extra curl option "CURLOPT_NOPROXY" will fix this issue.

Currently, the only way to pass proxy credentials to curl is by including them
in the proxy URL. Usually, this means they will end up on disk unencrypted, one
way or another (by inclusion in ~/.gitconfig, shell profile or history). Since
proxy authentication often uses a domain user, credentials can be security
sensitive; therefore, a safer way of passing credentials is desirable.
If the configured proxy contains a username but not a password, query the
credential API for one. Also, make sure we approve/reject proxy credentials
properly.
For consistency reasons, add parsing of http_proxy/https_proxy/all_proxy
environment variables, which would otherwise be evaluated as a fallback by curl.
Without this, we would have different semantics for git configuration and
environment variables.

Commit f8117f55 ("http: use off_t to store partial file size",
02-11-2015) changed the type of some variables from long to off_t.
Unfortunately, the off_t type is not portable and can be represented
by several different actual types (even multiple types on the same
platform). This makes it difficult to print an off_t variable in
a platform independent way. As a result, this commit causes gcc to
issue some printf format warnings on a couple of different platforms.
In order to suppress the warnings, change the format specifier to use
the PRIuMAX macro and cast the off_t argument to uintmax_t. (See also
the http_opt_request_remainder() function, which uses the same
solution).

When we try to resume transfer of a partially-downloaded

then use ftell() to get the current position. We use a
"long", which can hold only 2GB on a 32-bit system, even
though packfiles may be larger than that.
Let's switch to using off_t, which should hold any file size
our system is capable of storing. We need to use ftello() to
get the off_t. This is in POSIX and hopefully available
everywhere; if not, we should be able to wrap it by falling
back to ftell(), which would presumably return "-1" on such

A HTTP server is permitted to return a non-range response to a HTTP

While libcurl knows how to correctly handle this (by skipping bytes
before and after the requested range), it only turns on this handling
if it is aware that a range request is being made. By manually
setting the range header instead of using CURLOPT_RANGE, we were
hiding the fact that this was a range request from libcurl. This

Previously, libcurl would follow redirection to any protocol
it was compiled for support with. This is desirable to allow
redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. However, it would even
successfully allow redirection from HTTP to SFTP, a protocol
that git does not otherwise support at all. Furthermore
git's new protocol-whitelisting could be bypassed by
following a redirect within the remote helper, as it was
only enforced at transport selection time.
This patch limits redirects within libcurl to HTTP, HTTPS,
FTP and FTPS. If there is a protocol-whitelist present, this
list is limited to those also allowed by the whitelist. As
redirection happens from within libcurl, it is impossible
for an HTTP redirect to a protocol implemented within
another remote helper.
When the curl version git was compiled with is too old to
support restrictions on protocol redirection, we warn the
user if GIT_ALLOW_PROTOCOL restrictions were requested. This
is a little inaccurate, as even without that variable in the
environment, we would still restrict SFTP, etc, and we do
not warn in that case. But anything else means we would
literally warn every time git accesses an http remote.
This commit includes a test, but it is not as robust as we
would hope. It redirects an http request to ftp, and checks
that curl complained about the protocol, which means that we
are relying on curl's specific error message to know what
happened. Ideally we would redirect to a working ftp server
and confirm that we can clone without protocol restrictions,
and not with them. But we do not have a portable way of
providing an ftp server, nor any other protocol that curl
supports (https is the closest, but we would have to deal
with certificates).

When we want to convert "foo.pack" to "foo.idx", we do it by
duplicating the original string and then munging the bytes
in place. Let's use strip_suffix and xstrfmt instead, which
has several advantages:
1. It's more clear what the intent is.
2. It does not implicitly rely on the fact that
strlen(".idx") <= strlen(".pack") to avoid an overflow.
3. We communicate the assumption that the input file ends
with ".pack" (and get a run-time check that this is so).
4. We drop calls to strcpy, which makes auditing the code
base easier.
Likewise, we can do this to convert ".pack" to ".bitmap",
avoiding some manual memory computation.

We sometimes sprintf into fixed-size buffers when we know
that the buffer is large enough to fit the input (either
because it's a constant, or because it's numeric input that
is bounded in size). Likewise with strcpy of constant
strings.
However, these sites make it hard to audit sprintf and
strcpy calls for buffer overflows, as a reader has to
cross-reference the size of the array with the input. Let's
use xsnprintf instead, which communicates to a reader that
we don't expect this to overflow (and catches the mistake in
case we do).

Once upon a time, dumb http always fetched .idx files
directly into their final location, and then checked their
validity with parse_pack_index. This was refactored in
commit 750ef42 (http-fetch: Use temporary files for
pack-*.idx until verified, 2010-04-19), which uses the
following logic:
1. If we have the idx already in place, see if it's
valid (using parse_pack_index). If so, use it.
2. Otherwise, fetch the .idx to a tempfile, check
that, and if so move it into place.
3. Either way, fetch the pack itself if necessary.
However, it got step 1 wrong. We pass a NULL path parameter
to parse_pack_index, so an existing .idx file always looks
broken. Worse, we do not treat this broken .idx as an
opportunity to re-fetch, but instead return an error,
ignoring the pack entirely. This can lead to a dumb-http
fetch failing to retrieve the necessary objects.
This doesn't come up much in practice, because it must be a
packfile that we found out about (and whose .idx we stored)
during an earlier dumb-http fetch, but whose packfile we
_didn't_ fetch. I.e., we did a partial clone of a
repository, didn't need some packfiles, and now a followup
fetch needs them.

Apache servers using mod_auth_kerb can be configured to allow the user
to authenticate either using Negotiate (using the Kerberos ticket) or
Basic authentication (using the Kerberos password). Often, one will
want to use Negotiate authentication if it is available, but fall back
to Basic authentication if the ticket is missing or expired.
However, libcurl will try very hard to use something other than Basic
auth, even over HTTPS. If Basic and something else are offered, libcurl
will never attempt to use Basic, even if the other option fails.
Teach the HTTP client code to stop trying authentication mechanisms that
don't use a password (currently Negotiate) after the first failure,

shortened version of the content-type header to any callers
who ask for it.
This patch adds back a way for them to cleanly access
specific parameters to the type. We could easily extract all
parameters and make them available via a string_list, but:
1. That complicates the interface and memory management.
2. In practice, no planned callers care about anything
except the charset.
This patch therefore goes with the simplest thing, and we
can expand or change the interface later if it becomes
necessary.

When we get a content-type from curl, we get the whole
header line, including any parameters, and without any
normalization (like downcasing or whitespace) applied.
If we later try to match it with strcmp() or even
strcasecmp(), we may get false negatives.
This could cause two visible behaviors:
1. We might fail to recognize a smart-http server by its
content-type.
2. We might fail to relay text/plain error messages to
users (especially if they contain a charset parameter).
This patch teaches the http code to extract and normalize
just the type/subtype portion of the string. This is
technically passing out less information to the callers, who
can no longer see the parameters. But none of the current
callers cares, and a future patch will add back an
easier-to-use method for accessing those parameters.

We currently don't reuse http connections when fetching via
the smart-http protocol. This is bad because the TCP
handshake introduces latency, and especially because SSL
connection setup may be non-trivial.
We can fix it by consistently using curl's "multi"
interface. The reason is rather complicated:
Our http code has two ways of being used: queuing many
"slots" to be fetched in parallel, or fetching a single
request in a blocking manner. The parallel code is built on
curl's "multi" interface. Most of the single-request code
uses http_request, which is built on top of the parallel
code (we just feed it one slot, and wait until it finishes).
However, one could also accomplish the single-request scheme
by avoiding curl's multi interface entirely and just using
curl_easy_perform. This is simpler, and is used by post_rpc
in the smart-http protocol.
It does work to use the same curl handle in both contexts,
as long as it is not at the same time. However, internally
curl may not share all of the cached resources between both
contexts. In particular, a connection formed using the
"multi" code will go into a reuse pool connected to the
"multi" object. Further requests using the "easy" interface
will not be able to reuse that connection.
The smart http protocol does ref discovery via http_request,
which uses the "multi" interface, and then follows up with
the "easy" interface for its rpc calls. As a result, we make
two HTTP connections rather than reusing a single one.
We could teach the ref discovery to use the "easy"
interface. But it is only once we have done this discovery
that we know whether the protocol will be smart or dumb. If
it is dumb, then our further requests, which want to fetch
objects in parallel, will not be able to reuse the same
connection.
Instead, this patch switches post_rpc to build on the
parallel interface, which means that we use it consistently
everywhere. It's a little more complicated to use, but since
we have the infrastructure already, it doesn't add any code;
we can just factor out the relevant bits from http_request.

Commit a15d069 taught git to use curl's SOCKOPTFUNCTION hook
to turn on TCP keepalives. However, modern versions of curl
have a TCP_KEEPALIVE option, which can do this for us. As an
added bonus, the curl code knows how to turn on keepalive
for a much wider variety of platforms. The only downside to
using this option is that not everybody has a new enough curl.
Let's split our keepalive options into three conditionals:
1. With curl 7.25.0 and newer, we rely on curl to do it
right.
2. With older curl that still knows SOCKOPTFUNCTION, we
use the code from a15d069.
3. Otherwise, we are out of luck, and the call is a no-op.

If a caller asks the http_get_* functions to go to a
particular URL and we end up elsewhere due to a redirect,
the effective_url field can tell us where we went.
It would be nice to remember this redirect and short-cut
further requests for two reasons:
1. It's more efficient. Otherwise we spend an extra http
round-trip to the server for each subsequent request,
just to get redirected.
2. If we end up with an http 401 and are going to ask for
credentials, it is to feed them to the redirect target.
If the redirect is an http->https upgrade, this means
our credentials may be provided on the http leg, just
to end up redirected to https. And if the redirect
crosses server boundaries, then curl will drop the
credentials entirely as it follows the redirect.
However, it, it is not enough to simply record the effective
URL we saw and use that for subsequent requests. We were
originally fed a "base" url like:
http://example.com/foo.git
and we want to figure out what the new base is, even though
the URLs we see may be:
original: http://example.com/foo.git/info/refs
effective: http://example.com/bar.git/info/refs
Subsequent requests will not be for "info/refs", but for
other paths relative to the base. We must ask the caller to
pass in the original base, and we must pass the redirected
base back to the caller (so that it can generate more URLs
from it). Furthermore, we need to feed the new base to the
credential code, so that requests to credential helpers (or
to the user) match the URL we will be requesting.
This patch teaches http_request_reauth to do this munging.
Since it is the caller who cares about making more URLs, it
seems at first glance that callers could simply check
effective_url themselves and handle it. However, since we
need to update the credential struct before the second
re-auth request, we have to do it inside http_request_reauth.

When we are handling a curl response code in http_request or
in the remote-curl RPC code, we use the handle_curl_result
helper to translate curl's response into an easy-to-use
code. When we see an HTTP 401, we do one of two things:
1. If we already had a filled-in credential, we mark it as
rejected, and then return HTTP_NOAUTH to indicate to
the caller that we failed.
2. If we didn't, then we ask for a new credential and tell
the caller HTTP_REAUTH to indicate that they may want
to try again.
Rejecting in the first case makes sense; it is the natural
result of the request we just made. However, prompting for
more credentials in the second step does not always make
sense. We do not know for sure that the caller is going to
make a second request, and nor are we sure that it will be
to the same URL. Logically, the prompt belongs not to the
request we just finished, but to the request we are (maybe)
about to make.
In practice, it is very hard to trigger any bad behavior.
Currently, if we make a second request, it will always be to
the same URL (even in the face of redirects, because curl
handles the redirects internally). And we almost always
retry on HTTP_REAUTH these days. The one exception is if we
are streaming a large RPC request to the server (e.g., a
pushed packfile), in which case we cannot restart. It's
extremely unlikely to see a 401 response at this stage,
though, as we would typically have seen it when we sent a
probe request, before streaming the data.
This patch drops the automatic prompt out of case 2, and
instead requires the caller to do it. This is a few extra
lines of code, and the bug it fixes is unlikely to come up
in practice. But it is conceptually cleaner, and paves the
way for better handling of credentials across redirects.

Over time, the http_get_strbuf function has grown several
optional parameters. We now have a bitfield with multiple
boolean options, as well as an optional strbuf for returning
the content-type of the response. And a future patch in this
series is going to add another strbuf option.
Treating these as separate arguments has a few downsides:
1. Most call sites need to add extra NULLs and 0s for the
options they aren't interested in.
2. The http_get_* functions are actually wrappers around
2 layers of low-level implementation functions. We have
to pass these options through individually.
3. The http_get_strbuf wrapper learned these options, but
nobody bothered to do so for http_get_file, even though
it is backed by the same function that does understand
the options.
Let's consolidate the options into a single struct. For the
common case of the default options, we'll allow callers to
simply pass a NULL for the options struct.
The resulting code is often a few lines longer, but it ends
up being easier to read (and to change as we add new
options, since we do not need to update each call site).

http.c: don't rewrite the user:passwd string multiple times
Curl older than 7.17 (RHEL 4.X provides 7.12 and RHEL 5.X provides

have passed it to curl.
Our interaction with curl is currently safe (before or after this
patch) since the pointer that is passed to curl is never invalidated;
it is repeatedly rewritten with the same sequence of characters but
the strbuf functions never need to allocate a larger string, so the
same memory buffer is reused.
This "guarantee" of safety is somewhat subtle and could be overlooked
by someone who may want to add a more complex handling of the username
and password. So, let's stop modifying this strbuf after we have
passed it to curl, but also leave a note to describe the assumptions
that have been made about username/password lifetime and to draw

Because we reuse curl handles for multiple requests, the
setup of a handle happens in two stages: stable, global
setup and per-request setup. The lifecycle of a handle is
something like:
1. get_curl_handle; do basic global setup that will last
through the whole program (e.g., setting the user
agent, ssl options, etc)
2. get_active_slot; set up a per-request baseline (e.g.,
clearing the read/write functions, making it a GET
request, etc)
3. perform the request with curl_*_perform functions
4. goto step 2 to perform another request
Breaking it down this way means we can avoid doing global
setup from step (1) repeatedly, but we still finish step (2)
with a predictable baseline setup that callers can rely on.
Until commit 6d052d7 (http: add HTTP_KEEP_ERROR option,
2013-04-05), setting curl's FAILONERROR option was a global
setup; we never changed it. However, 6d052d7 introduced an
option where some requests might turn off FAILONERROR. Later
requests using the same handle would have the option
unexpectedly turned off, which meant they would not notice
http failures at all.
This could easily be seen in the test-suite for the
"half-auth" cases of t5541 and t5551. The initial requests
turned off FAILONERROR, which meant it was erroneously off
for the rpc POST. That worked fine for a successful request,
but meant that we failed to react properly to the HTTP 401
(instead, we treated whatever the server handed us as a
successful message body).
The solution is simple: now that FAILONERROR is a
per-request setting, we move it to get_active_slot to make
sure it is reset for each request.

- curl version (from curl/curlver.h):

- git-remote-https running on an ubuntu-lucid VM.
- Connecting through squid proxy running on another VM.
Interestingly, the problem doesn't manifest if a host connects
through squid proxy running on localhost; only if the proxy is on
a separate VM (not sure if the squid host needs to be on a separate
physical machine). That would seem to suggest that this issue
is timing-sensitive.

http: fix segfault in handle_curl_result
When we get an http 401, we prompt for credentials and put
them in our global credential struct. We also feed them to
the curl handle that produced the 401, with the intent that
they will be used on a retry.
When the code was originally introduced in commit 42653c0,
this was a necessary step. However, since dfa1725, we always
feed our global credential into every curl handle when we
initialize the slot with get_active_slot. So every further
request already feeds the credential to curl.
Moreover, accessing the slot here is somewhat dubious. After
the slot has produced a response, we don't actually control
it any more. If we are using curl_multi, it may even have
been re-initialized to handle a different request.
It just so happens that we will reuse the curl handle within
the slot in such a case, and that because we only keep one
global credential, it will be the one we want. So the
current code is not buggy, but it is misleading.
By cleaning it up, we can remove the slot argument entirely
from handle_curl_result, making it much more obvious that
slots should not be accessed after they are marked as
finished.

When we create an http active_request_slot, we can set its
"results" pointer back to local storage. The http code will
fill in the details of how the request went, and we can
access those details even after the slot has been cleaned
up.
Commit 8809703 (http: factor out http error code handling)
switched us from accessing our local results struct directly
to accessing it via the "results" pointer of the slot. That
means we're accessing the slot after it has been marked as
finished, defeating the whole purpose of keeping the results
storage separate.
Most of the time this doesn't matter, as finishing the slot
does not actually clean up the pointer. However, when using
curl's multi interface with the dumb-http revision walker,
we might actually start a new request before handing control
back to the original caller. In that case, we may reuse the
slot, zeroing its results pointer, and leading the original
caller to segfault while looking for its results inside the
slot.
Instead, we need to pass a pointer to our local results
storage to the handle_curl_result function, rather than
relying on the pointer in the slot struct. This matches what
the original code did before the refactoring (which did not
use a separate function, and therefore just accessed the
results struct directly).

the /info/refs payload can use this encoding format.
Only request gzip encoding from servers. Although deflate is
supported by libcurl, most servers have standardized on gzip
encoding for compression as that is what most browsers support.
Asking for deflate increases request sizes by a few bytes, but is
unlikely to ever be used by a server.
Disable the Accept-Encoding header on probe RPCs as response bodies
are supposed to be exactly 4 bytes long, "0000". The HTTP headers
requesting and indicating compression use more space than the data
transferred in the body.

We give the username and password to curl by sticking them
in a buffer of the form "user:pass" and handing the result
to CURLOPT_USERPWD. Since curl 7.19.1, there is a split
mechanism, where you can specify each element individually.
This has the advantage that a username can contain a ":"
character. It also is less code for us, since we can hand
our strings over to curl directly. And since curl 7.17.0 and
higher promise to copy the strings for us, we we don't even
have to worry about memory ownership issues.
Unfortunately, we have to keep the ugly code for old curl
around, but as it is now nicely #if'd out, we can easily get
rid of it when we decide that 7.19.1 is "old enough".

When we have a credential to give to curl, we must copy it
into a "user:pass" buffer and then hand the buffer to curl.
Old versions of curl did not copy the buffer, and we were
expected to keep it valid. Newer versions of curl will copy
the buffer.
Our solution was to use a strbuf and detach it, giving
ownership of the resulting buffer to curl. However, this
meant that we were leaking the buffer on newer versions of
curl, since curl was just copying it and throwing away the
string we passed. Furthermore, when we replaced a
credential (e.g., because our original one was rejected), we
were also leaking on both old and new versions of curl.
This got even worse in the last patch, which started
replacing the credential (and thus leaking) on every http
request.
Instead, let's use a static buffer to make the ownership
more clear and less leaky. We already keep a static "struct
credential", so we are only handling a single credential at
a time, anyway.

HTTP authentication is currently handled by get_refs and fetch_ref, but
not by fetch_object, fetch_pack or fetch_alternates. In the
single-threaded case, this is not an issue, since get_refs is always
called first. It recognigzes the 401 and prompts the user for
credentials, which will then be used subsequently.
If the curl multi interface is used, however, only the multi handle used
by get_refs will have credentials configured. Requests made by other
handles fail with an authentication error.
Fix this by setting CURLOPT_USERPWD whenever a slot is requested.

When the proxy server specified by the http.proxy configuration or the

connect to the proxy, because we did not configure the cURL handle with
CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH.
When a proxy is in use, and you tell git that the proxy requires
authentication by having username in the http.proxy configuration, an
extra request needs to be made to the proxy to find out what
authentication method it supports, as this patch uses CURLAUTH_ANY to let
the library pick the most secure method supported by the proxy server.
The extra round-trip adds extra latency, but relieves the user from the
burden to configure a specific authentication method. If it becomes
problem, a later patch could add a configuration option to specify what
method to use, but let's start simple for the time being.

Before commit 986bbc08, git was proactive about asking for
http passwords. It assumed that if you had a username in
your URL, you would also want a password, and asked for it
before making any http requests.
However, this could interfere with the use of .netrc (see
986bbc08 for details). And it was also unnecessary, since
the http fetching code had learned to recognize an HTTP 401
and prompt the user then. Furthermore, the proactive prompt
could interfere with the usage of .netrc (see 986bbc08 for
details).
Unfortunately, the http push-over-DAV code never learned to
recognize HTTP 401, and so was broken by this change. This
patch does a quick fix of re-enabling the "proactive auth"
strategy only for http-push, leaving the dumb http fetch and
smart-http as-is.

This patch converts the http code to use the new credential
API, both for http authentication as well as for getting
certificate passwords.
Most of the code change is simply variable naming (the
passwords are now contained inside the credential struct)
or deletion of obsolete code (the credential code handles
URL parsing and prompting for us).
The behavior should be the same, with one exception: the
credential code will prompt with a description based on the
credential components. Therefore, the old prompt of:
Username for 'example.com':
Password for 'example.com':
now looks like:
Username for 'https://example.com/repo.git':
Password for 'https://user@example.com/repo.git':
Note that we include more information in each line,
specifically:
1. We now include the protocol. While more noisy, this is
an important part of knowing what you are accessing
(especially if you care about http vs https).
2. We include the username in the password prompt. This is
not a big deal when you have just been prompted for it,
but the username may also come from the remote's URL
(and after future patches, from configuration or
credential helpers). In that case, it's a nice
reminder of the user for which you're giving the
password.
3. We include the path component of the URL. In many
cases, the user won't care about this and it's simply
noise (i.e., they'll use the same credential for a
whole site). However, that is part of a larger
question, which is whether path components should be
part of credential context, both for prompting and for
lookup by storage helpers. That issue will be addressed
as a whole in a future patch.
Similarly, for unlocking certificates, we used to say:
Certificate Password for 'example.com':
and we now say:
Password for 'cert:///path/to/certificate':
Showing the path to the client certificate makes more sense,
as that is what you are unlocking, not "example.com".

When a username is already specified at the beginning of any HTTP
transaction (e.g. "git push https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"
or "git ls-remote https://user@hosting.example.com/project.git"), the code
interactively asks for a password before calling into the libcurl library.
It is very likely that the reason why user included the username in the
URL is because the user knows that it would require authentication to
access the resource. Asking for the password upfront would save one
roundtrip to get a 401 response, getting the password and then retrying
the request. This is a reasonable optimization.
HOWEVER.
This is done even when $HOME/.netrc might have a corresponding entry to
access the site, or the site does not require authentication to access the
resource after all. But neither condition can be determined until we call
into libcurl library (we do not read and parse $HOME/.netrc ourselves). In
these cases, the user is forced to respond to the password prompt, only to
give a password that is not used in the HTTP transaction. If the password
is in $HOME/.netrc, an empty input would later let the libcurl layer to
pick up the password from there, and if the resource does not require
authentication, any input would be taken and then discarded without
getting used. It is wasteful to ask this unused information to the end
user.
Reduce the confusion by not trying to optimize for this case and always
incur roundtrip penalty. An alternative might be to document this and keep
this round-trip optimization as-is.

- wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate,

- incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes
NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are

However, when the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default

To ensure we don't leave a corrupt pack file positioned as though
it were a valid pack file, run index-pack on the temporary pack
before we rename it to its final name. If index-pack crashes out
when it discovers file corruption (e.g. GitHub's error HTML at the
end of the file), simply delete the temporary files to cleanup.
By waiting until the pack has been validated before we move it
to its final name, we eliminate a race condition where another
concurrent reader might try to access the pack at the same time
that we are still trying to verify its not corrupt.
Switching from verify-pack to index-pack is a change in behavior,
but it should turn out better for users. The index-pack algorithm
tries to minimize disk seeks, as well as the number of times any
given object is inflated, by organizing its work along delta chains.
The verify-pack logic does not attempt to do this, thrashing the
delta base cache and the filesystem cache.
By recreating the index file locally, we also can automatically
upgrade from a v1 pack table of contents to v2. This makes the
CRC32 data available for use during later repacks, even if the
server didn't have them on hand.

When an HTTP request returns a 401, Git will currently fail with a
confusing message saying that it got a 401, which is not very
descriptive.
Currently if a user wants to use Git over HTTP, they have to use one
URL with the username in the URL (e.g. "http://user@host.com/repo.git")
for write access and another without the username for unauthenticated
read access (unless they want to be prompted for the password each
time). However, since the HTTP servers will return a 401 if an action
requires authentication, we can prompt for username and password if we
see this, allowing us to use a single URL for both purposes.
This patch changes http_request to prompt for the username and password,
then return HTTP_REAUTH so http_get_strbuf can try again. If it gets
a 401 even when a user/pass is supplied, http_request will now return
HTTP_NOAUTH which remote_curl can then use to display a more

Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic
http: maintain curl sessions
Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was
originally written, it needed an extra HTTP request for everything when
the feature was in effect, because we didn't reuse curl sessions.
However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme,
not only basic, 2009-11-27) builds on top of an updated codebase that does
reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead
by making this configurable anymore.

This adds the configuration option http.authAny (overridable with
the environment variable GIT_HTTP_AUTH_ANY), for instructing curl
to allow any HTTP authentication scheme, not only basic (which
sends the password in plaintext).
When this is enabled, curl has to do double requests most of the time,
in order to discover which HTTP authentication method to use, which
lowers the performance slightly. Therefore this isn't enabled by default.
One example of another authentication scheme to use is digest, which
doesn't send the password in plaintext, but uses a challenge-response
mechanism instead. Using digest authentication in practice requires
at least curl 7.18.1, due to bugs in the digest handling in earlier
versions of curl.

Allow curl sessions to be kept alive (ie. not ended with
curl_easy_cleanup()) even after the request is completed, the number of
which is determined by the configuration setting http.minSessions.
Add a count for curl sessions, and update it, across slots, when
starting and ending curl sessions.

The git-remote-curl backend detects if the remote server supports
the git-receive-pack service, and if so, runs git-send-pack in a
pipe to dump the command and pack data as a single POST request.
The advertisements from the server that were obtained during the
discovery are passed into git-send-pack before the POST request
starts. This permits git-send-pack to operate largely unmodified.
For smaller packs (those under 1 MiB) a HTTP/1.0 POST with a
Content-Length is used, permitting interaction with any server.
The 1 MiB limit is arbitrary, but is sufficent to fit most deltas
created by human authors against text sources with the occasional
small binary file (e.g. few KiB icon image). The configuration
option http.postBuffer can be used to increase (or shink) this
buffer if the default is not sufficient.
For larger packs which cannot be spooled entirely into the helper's
memory space (due to http.postBuffer being too small), the POST
request requires HTTP/1.1 and sets "Transfer-Encoding: chunked".
This permits the client to upload an unknown amount of data in one
HTTP transaction without needing to pregenerate the entire pack
file locally.

Make http.c::fetch_pack_index() no longer check for the remote pack
with a HEAD request before fetching the corresponding pack index file.
Not only does sending a HEAD request before we do a GET incur a
performance penalty, it does not offer any significant error-
prevention advantages (pack fetching in the *_http_pack_request()
methods is capable of handling any errors on its own).
This addresses an issue raised elsewhere:

Set the members callback_func and callback_data of freq->slot to NULL
when releasing a http_object_request. release_active_slot() is also
invoked on the slot to remove the curl handle associated with the slot
from the multi stack (CURLM *curlm in http.c).
These prevent the callback function and data from being used in http
methods (like http.c::finish_active_slot()) after a
http_object_request has been free'd.
Noticed by Ali Polatel, who later tested this patch to verify that it
fixes the problem he saw; Dscho helped to identify the problem spot.

Make append_remote_object_url() (and by implication,
get_remote_object_url) use end_url_with_slash() to ensure that the url
ends with a slash.
Previously, they assumed that the url did not end with a slash and
as a result appended a slash, sometimes errorneously.
This fixes an issue introduced in 5424bc5 ("http*: add helper methods
for fetching objects (loose)"), where the append_remote_object_url()
implementation in http-push.c, which assumed that urls end with a
slash, was replaced by another one in http.c, which assumed urls did
not end with a slash.
The above issue was raised by Thomas Schlichter:

Add a configuration option, http.sslCertPasswordProtected, and associated
environment variable, GIT_SSL_CERT_PASSWORD_PROTECTED, to enable SSL client
certificate password prompt from within git. If this option is false and
if the environment variable does not exist, git falls back to OpenSSL's
prompts (as in earlier versions of git).
The environment variable may only be used to enable, not to disable
git's password prompt. This behavior mimics GIT_NO_VERIFY; the mere
existence of the variable is all that is checked.

If an SSL client certificate is enabled (via http.sslcert or
GIT_SSL_CERT), prompt for the certificate password rather than
defaulting to OpenSSL's password prompt. This causes the prompt to only
appear once each run. Previously, OpenSSL prompted the user *many*
times, causing git to be unusable over HTTPS with client-side
certificates.
Note that the password is stored in memory in the clear while the
program is running. This may be a security problem if git crashes and
core dumps.
The user is always prompted, even if the certificate is not encrypted.
This should be fine; unencrypted certificates are rare and a security
risk anyway.

The code handling the fetching of loose objects in http-push.c and
http-walker.c have been refactored into new methods and a new struct
(object_http_request) in http.c. They are not meant to be invoked
elsewhere.
The new methods in http.c are
- new_http_object_request
- process_http_object_request
- finish_http_object_request
- abort_http_object_request
- release_http_object_request
and the new struct is http_object_request.
RANGER_HEADER_SIZE and no_pragma_header is no longer made available
outside of http.c, since after the above changes, there are no other
instances of usage outside of http.c.
Remove members of the transfer_request struct in http-push.c and
http-walker.c, including filename, real_sha1 and zret, as they are used
no longer used.
Move the methods append_remote_object_url() and get_remote_object_url()
from http-push.c to http.c. Additionally, get_remote_object_url() is no
longer defined only when USE_CURL_MULTI is defined, since
non-USE_CURL_MULTI code in http.c uses it (namely, in
new_http_object_request()).
Refactor code from http-push.c::start_fetch_loose() and
http-walker.c::start_object_fetch_request() that deals with the details
of coming up with the filename to store the retrieved object, resuming
a previously aborted request, and making a new curl request, into a new
function, new_http_object_request().
Refactor code from http-walker.c::process_object_request() into the
function, process_http_object_request().
Refactor code from http-push.c::finish_request() and
http-walker.c::finish_object_request() into a new function,
finish_http_object_request(). It returns the result of the
move_temp_to_file() invocation.
Add a function, release_http_object_request(), which cleans up object
request data. http-push.c and http-walker.c invoke this function
separately; http-push.c::release_request() and
http-walker.c::release_object_request() do not invoke this function.
Add a function, abort_http_object_request(), which unlink()s the object
file and invokes release_http_object_request(). Update
http-walker.c::abort_object_request() to use this.

http-push.c::finish_request() and http-walker.c::fetch_pack to use
this.
Update release_request() in http-push.c and http-walker.c to invoke

http-push.c and http-walker.c no longer have to use fetch_index or
setup_index; they simply need to use http_get_info_packs, a new http
method, in their fetch_indices implementations.
Move fetch_index() and rename to fetch_pack_index() in http.c; this
method is not meant to be used outside of http.c. It invokes
end_url_with_slash with base_url; apart from that change, the code is
identical.
Move setup_index() and rename to fetch_and_setup_pack_index() in
http.c; this method is not meant to be used outside of http.c.
Do not immediately set ret to 0 in http-walker.c::fetch_indices();
instead do it in the HTTP_MISSING_TARGET case, to make it clear that
the HTTP_OK and HTTP_MISSING_TARGET cases both return 0.

The logic to append a slash to the url if necessary in quote_ref_url
(added in 113106e "http.c: use strbuf API in quote_ref_url") has been
moved to a new function, end_url_with_slash.
The method takes a strbuf, the URL, and the path to be appended to the
URL. It first adds the URL to the strbuf. It then appends a slash
if the URL does not end with a slash.
The check on ref in quote_ref_url for a slash at the beginning has been
removed as a result of using end_url_with_slash. This check is not
needed, because slashes will be quoted anyway.

"Pragma:" in http.[ch]. It is allocated in http_init, and freed in

Create http_is_verbose. It is to be used by methods in http.c, and is

When using multi-pass authentication methods, the curl library may
need to rewind the read buffers (depending on how much already has
been fed to the server) used for providing data to HTTP PUT, POST or
PROPFIND, and in order to allow the library to do so, we need to tell
it how by providing either an ioctl callback or a seek callback.
This patch adds an ioctl callback, which should be usable on older
curl versions (since 7.12.3) than the seek callback (introduced in
curl 7.18.0).
Some HTTP servers (such as Apache) give an 401 error reply immediately
after receiving the headers (so no data has been read from the read
buffers, and thus no rewinding is needed), but other servers (such
as Lighttpd) only replies after the whole request has been sent and
all data has been read from the read buffers, making rewinding necessary.
