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.

We used to ask libCURL to use the most secure authentication method
available when talking to an HTTP proxy only when we were told to
talk to one via configuration variables.  We now ask libCURL to

can tell libCURL to use an HTTP proxy via an environment variable
without using configuration variables.

We set CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH to use the most secure authentication
method available only when the user has set configuration variables
to specify a proxy.  However, libcurl also supports specifying a
proxy through environment variables.  In that case libcurl defaults
to only using the Basic proxy authentication method, because we do
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
from Basic.

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.

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.

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.

70900eda4a http.c: Spell the null pointer as NULL
Commit 1bbcc224 ("http: refactor options to http_get_*", 28-09-2013)
changed the type of final 'options' argument of the http_get_file()
function from an int to an 'struct http_get_options' pointer.
However, it neglected to update the (single) call site. Since this
call was passing '0' to that argument, it was (correctly) being
interpreted as a null pointer. Change to argument to NULL.

Noticed by sparse. ("Using plain integer as NULL pointer")

47ce115370 http: use curl's tcp keepalive if available
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.

c93c92f309 http: update base URLs when we see redirects
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.

78868962c0 http: provide effective url to callers
When we ask curl to access a URL, it may follow one or more
redirects to reach the final location. We have no idea
this has happened, as curl takes care of the details and
simply returns the final content to us.

The final URL that we ended up with can be accessed via
CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL. Let's make that optionally available
to callers of http_get_*, so that they can make further
decisions based on the redirection.

2501aff8b7 http: hoist credential request out of handle_curl_result
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.

a15d069a19 http: enable keepalive on TCP sockets
This is a follow up to commit e47a8583 (enable SO_KEEPALIVE for
connected TCP sockets, 2011-12-06).

Sockets may never receive notification of some link errors,
causing "git fetch" or similar processes to hang forever.
Enabling keepalive messages allows hung processes to error out
after a few minutes/hours depending on the keepalive settings of
the system.

I noticed this problem with some non-interactive cronjobs getting
hung when talking to HTTP servers.
