f8117f550b http: use off_t to store partial file size
When we try to resume transfer of a partially-downloaded
object or pack, we fopen() the existing file for append,
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 large file (and we would simply skip resuming in that case).

835c4d3689 http.c: use CURLOPT_RANGE for range requests
A HTTP server is permitted to return a non-range response to a HTTP
range request (and Apache httpd in fact does this in some cases).
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
could cause corruption.

b258116462 http: limit redirection depth
By default, libcurl will follow circular http redirects
forever. Let's put a cap on this so that somebody who can
trigger an automated fetch of an arbitrary repository (e.g.,
for CI) cannot convince git to loop infinitely.

The value chosen is 20, which is the same default that
Firefox uses.

f4113cac0c http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelist
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).

[jk: added test and version warning]

9ae97018fb use strip_suffix and xstrfmt to replace suffix
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.

5096d4909f convert trivial sprintf / strcpy calls to xsnprintf
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).

cb5add5868 sha1_file.c: rename move_temp_to_file() to finalize_object_file()
Since 5a688fe4 ("core.sharedrepository = 0mode" should set, not
loosen, 2009-03-25), we kept reminding ourselves:

    NEEDSWORK: this should be renamed to finalize_temp_file() as
    "moving" is only a part of what it does, when no patch between
    master to pu changes the call sites of this function.

without doing anything about it.  Let's do so.

The purpose of this function was not to move but to finalize.  The
detail of the primarily implementation of finalizing was to link the
temporary file to its final name and then to unlink, which wasn't
even "moving".  The alternative implementation did "move" by calling
rename(2), which is a fun tangent.

not use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH.

Set CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH to always use the most secure authentication
method available, even when there is no git configuration telling us
to use a proxy. This allows the user to use environment variables to
configure a proxy that requires an authentication method different

f18604bbf2 http: add Accept-Language header if possible
Add an Accept-Language header which indicates the user's preferred
languages defined by $LANGUAGE, $LC_ALL, $LC_MESSAGES and $LANG.

Examples:
  LANGUAGE= -> ""
  LANGUAGE=ko:en -> "Accept-Language: ko, en;q=0.9, *;q=0.1"
  LANGUAGE=ko LANG=en_US.UTF-8 -> "Accept-Language: ko, *;q=0.1"
  LANGUAGE= LANG=en_US.UTF-8 -> "Accept-Language: en-US, *;q=0.1"

This gives git servers a chance to display remote error messages in
the user's preferred language.

Limit the number of languages to 1,000 because q-value must not be
smaller than 0.001, and limit the length of Accept-Language header to
4,000 bytes for some HTTP servers which cannot accept such long header.

8b9c2dd4de dumb-http: do not pass NULL path to parse_pack_index
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.

4dbe66464b remote-curl: fall back to Basic auth if Negotiate fails
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,
since if they failed the first time, they will never succeed.

e31316263a http: optionally extract charset parameter from content-type
Since the previous commit, we now give a sanitized,
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.

bf197fd7ee http: extract type/subtype portion of content-type
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.

Change the return value of sha1_file_name() to (const char *).
(Callers have no business mucking about here.)  Change callers
accordingly, deleting a few superfluous temporary variables along the
way.

beed336c3e http: never use curl_easy_perform
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.

  replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
  strbuf: introduce starts_with() and ends_with()
  builtin/remote: remove postfixcmp() and use suffixcmp() instead

5955654823 replace {pre,suf}fixcmp() with {starts,ends}_with()
Leaving only the function definitions and declarations so that any
new topic in flight can still make use of the old functions, replace
existing uses of the prefixcmp() and suffixcmp() with new API
functions.

The change can be recreated by mechanically applying this:

    $ git grep -l -e prefixcmp -e suffixcmp -- \*.c |
      grep -v strbuf\\.c |
      xargs perl -pi -e '
        s|!prefixcmp\(|starts_with\(|g;
        s|prefixcmp\(|!starts_with\(|g;
        s|!suffixcmp\(|ends_with\(|g;
        s|suffixcmp\(|!ends_with\(|g;
      '

on the result of preparatory changes in this series.

0972ccd97c http: return curl's AUTHAVAIL via slot_results
Callers of the http code may want to know which auth types
were available for the previous request. But after finishing
with the curl slot, they are not supposed to look at the
curl handle again. We already handle returning other
information via the slot_results struct; let's add a flag to
check the available auth.

Note that older versions of curl did not support this, so we
simply return 0 (something like "-1" would be worse, as the
value is a bitflag and we might accidentally set a flag).
This is sufficient for the callers planned in this series,
who only trigger some optional behavior if particular bits
are set, and can live with a fake "no bits" answer.
