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.

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

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,
since if they failed the first time, they will never succeed.

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

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.

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.

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

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 servers may send Set-Cookie headers in a response and expect them
to be set on subsequent requests. By default, libcurl behavior is to
store such cookies in memory and reuse them across requests within a

an option to enable this behavior, writing cookies out to the same

Older cURL wanted piece of memory we call it with to be stable, but
we updated the auth material after handing it to a call.
* bc/http-keep-memory-given-to-curl:
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
7.15) requires that we manage any strings that we pass to it as
pointers. So, we really shouldn't be modifying this strbuf after we
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
attention to the code.

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.

This helper function should really be a one-liner that

complicated:
1. We call error() directly when we fail to start the curl
request, so we must later avoid printing a duplicate
error in http_error().
It would be much simpler in this case to just stuff the
error message into our usual curl_errorstr buffer

http_error does not even have to care about curl's exit

* jk/maint-http-init-not-in-result-handler:

It has been observed that curl_multi_timeout may return a very long
timeout value (e.g., 294 seconds and some usec) just before
curl_multi_fdset returns no file descriptors for reading. The
upshot is that select() will hang for a long time -- long enough for
an https handshake to be dropped. The observed behavior is that
the git command will hang at the terminal and never transfer any
data.
This patch is a workaround for a probable bug in libcurl. The bug
only seems to manifest around a very specific set of circumstances:
- curl version (from curl/curlver.h):
#define LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM 0x071307
- 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.
This patch is more or less in line with a recommendation in the

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).

Some HTTP servers try to use gzip compression on the /info/refs
request to save transfer bandwidth. Repositories with many tags
may find the /info/refs request can be gzipped to be 50% of the
original size due to the few but often repeated bytes used (hex
SHA-1 and commonly digits in tag names).
For most HTTP requests enable "Accept-Encoding: gzip" ensuring
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.

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.

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

strategy only for http-push, leaving the dumb http fetch and

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".

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.

* jk/http-auth:
http_init: accept separate URL parameter
http: use hostname in credential description
http: retry authentication failures for all http requests
remote-curl: don't retry auth failures with dumb protocol
improve httpd auth tests
url: decode buffers that are not NUL-terminated
The http_init function takes a "struct remote". Part of its
initialization procedure is to look at the remote's url and
grab some auth-related parameters. However, using the url
included in the remote is:
- wrong; the remote-curl helper may have a separate,
unrelated URL (e.g., from remote.*.pushurl). Looking at
the remote's configured url is incorrect.
- incomplete; http-fetch doesn't have a remote, so passes
NULL. So http_init never gets to see the URL we are
actually going to use.
- cumbersome; http-push has a similar problem to
http-fetch, but actually builds a fake remote just to
pass in the URL.
Instead, let's just add a separate URL parameter to
http_init, and all three callsites can pass in the
appropriate information.

If the config option http.cookiefile is set, pass this file to libCURL using
the CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE option. This is similar to calling curl with the -b
option. This allows git http authorization with authentication mechanisms
that use cookies, such as SAML Enhanced Client or Proxy (ECP) used by
Shibboleth.
To use SAML/ECP, the user needs to request a session cookie with their own ECP
code. See for example:
<https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/ECP>
Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.
git config --global http.cookiefile "/home/dbrown/.curlcookies"
libCURL will then pass the appropriate session cookies to the git http server.

For a long time (29508e1 "Isolate shared HTTP request functionality", Fri
Nov 18 11:02:58 2005), we've followed HTTP redirects with
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION.
However, when the remote HTTP server returns a redirect the default
libcurl action is to change a POST request into a GET request while
following the redirect, but the remote http backend does not expect
that.
Fix this by telling libcurl to always keep the request as type POST with
CURLOPT_POSTREDIR.
For users of libcurl older than 7.19.1, use CURLOPT_POST301 instead,
which only follows 301s instead of both 301s and 302s.

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.

The easiest way to verify a pack index is to open it through the
standard parse_pack_index function, permitting the header check
to happen when the file is mapped. However, the dumb HTTP client
needs to verify a pack index before its moved into its proper file
name within the objects/pack directory, to prevent a corrupt index
from being made available. So permit the caller to specify the
exact path of the index file.
For now we're still using the final destination name within the
sole call site in http.c, but eventually we will start to parse
the temporary path instead.

Most of the time the dumb HTTP transport is run without the verbose
flag set, so we only need the result of sha1_to_hex(sha1) once, to
construct the pack URL. Don't bother with an unnecessary malloc,
copy, free chain of this buffer.
If verbose is set, we'll format the SHA-1 twice now. But this
tiny extra CPU time spent is nothing compared to the slowdown that
is usually imposed by the verbose messages being sent to the tty,
and is entirely trivial compared to the latency involved with the
remote HTTP server sending something as big as a pack file.

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
intelligent error message that is less confusing.

Back when the feature to use different HTTP authentication methods was

However, b8ac923 (Add an option for using any HTTP authentication scheme,

reuse curl sessions; there is no need to manually avoid the extra overhead

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.

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.
