2016-09-08remote-curl: handle URLs without protocolLibravatar Jeff King1-1/+1
Generally remote-curl would never see a URL that did not have "proto:" at the beginning, as that is what tells git to run the "git-remote-proto" helper (and git-remote-http, etc, are aliases for git-remote-curl). However, the special syntax "proto::something" will run git-remote-proto with only "something" as the URL. So a malformed URL like: http::/example.com/repo.git will feed the URL "/example.com/repo.git" to git-remote-http. The resulting URL has no protocol, but the code added by 372370f (http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication, 2016-01-26) does not handle this case and segfaults. For the purposes of this code, we don't really care what the exact protocol; only whether or not it is https. So let's just assume that a missing protocol is not, and curl will handle the real error (which is that the URL is nonsense).

2016-04-27http: support sending custom HTTP headersLibravatar Johannes Schindelin1-3/+32
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.

Felix Ruess <felix.ruess@gmail.com> noticed that with configuration $ git config --global 'http.proxy=socks5h://127.0.0.1:1080' connections to remote sites time out, waiting for DNS resolution. The logic to detect various flavours of SOCKS proxy and ask the libcurl layer to use appropriate one understands the proxy string that begin with socks5, socks4a, etc., but does not know socks5h, and we end up using CURLPROXY_SOCKS5. The correct one to use is CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME. https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html says ..., socks5h:// (the last one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving, also known as CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME type). which is consistent with the way the breakage was reported.

2016-02-29http: honor no_http env variable to bypass proxyLibravatar Jiang Xin1-0/+6
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.

2016-01-26http: use credential API to handle proxy authenticationLibravatar Knut Franke1-0/+77
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.

2015-11-02http: use off_t to store partial file sizeLibravatar Jeff King1-4/+4
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).

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.

2015-09-25http: limit redirection to protocol-whitelistLibravatar Blake Burkhart1-0/+17
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).

2015-09-25use strip_suffix and xstrfmt to replace suffixLibravatar Jeff King1-3/+4
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
