There has been a push to remove extern from function declarations. Remove some instances of "extern" for function declarations which are caught by Coccinelle. Note that Coccinelle has some difficulty with processing functions with `__attribute__` or varargs so some `extern` declarations are left behind to be dealt with in a future patch.

2019-03-24http: factor out curl result code normalizationJeff King
We make some requests with CURLOPT_FAILONERROR and some without, and then handle_curl_result() normalizes any failures to a uniform CURLcode. There are some other code paths in the dumb-http walker which don't use handle_curl_result(); let's pull the normalization into its own function so it can be reused. Arguably those code paths would benefit from the rest of handle_curl_result(), notably the auth handling. But retro-fitting it now would be a lot of work, and in practice it doesn't matter too much (whatever authentication we needed to make the initial contact with the server is generally sufficient for the rest of the dumb-http requests).

Transport with dumb http can be fooled into following foreign URLs that the end user does not intend to, especially with the server side redirects and http-alternates mechanism, which can lead to security issues.

2016-12-06http: make redirects more obviousJeff King
We instruct curl to always follow HTTP redirects. This is convenient, but it creates opportunities for malicious servers to create confusing situations. For instance, imagine Alice is a git user with access to a private repository on Bob's server. Mallory runs her own server and wants to access objects from Bob's repository. Mallory may try a few tricks that involve asking Alice to clone from her, build on top, and then push the result: 1. Mallory may simply redirect all fetch requests to Bob's server. Git will transparently follow those redirects and fetch Bob's history, which Alice may believe she got from Mallory. The subsequent push seems like it is just feeding Mallory back her own objects, but is actually leaking Bob's objects. There is nothing in git's output to indicate that Bob's repository was involved at all. The downside (for Mallory) of this attack is that Alice will have received Bob's entire repository, and is likely to notice that when building on top of it. 2. If Mallory happens to know the sha1 of some object X in Bob's repository, she can instead build her own history that references that object. She then runs a dumb http server, and Alice's client will fetch each object individually. When it asks for X, Mallory redirects her to Bob's server. The end result is that Alice obtains objects from Bob, but they may be buried deep in history. Alice is less likely to notice. Both of these attacks are fairly hard to pull off. There's a social component in getting Mallory to convince Alice to work with her. Alice may be prompted for credentials in accessing Bob's repository (but not always, if she is using a credential helper that caches). Attack (1) requires a certain amount of obliviousness on Alice's part while making a new commit. Attack (2) requires that Mallory knows a sha1 in Bob's repository, that Bob's server supports dumb http, and that the object in question is loose on Bob's server. But we can probably make things a bit more obvious without any loss of functionality. This patch does two things to that end. First, when we encounter a whole-repo redirect during the initial ref discovery, we now inform the user on stderr, making attack (1) much more obvious. Second, the decision to follow redirects is now configurable. The truly paranoid can set the new http.followRedirects to false to avoid any redirection entirely. But for a more practical default, we will disallow redirects only after the initial ref discovery. This is enough to thwart attacks similar to (2), while still allowing the common use of redirects at the repository level. Since c93c92f30 (http: update base URLs when we see redirects, 2013-09-28) we re-root all further requests from the redirect destination, which should generally mean that no further redirection is necessary. As an escape hatch, in case there really is a server that needs to redirect individual requests, the user can set http.followRedirects to "true" (and this can be done on a per-server basis via http.*.followRedirects config).

2016-04-27http: support sending custom HTTP headersJohannes Schindelin
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.

2016-01-26http: use credential API to handle proxy authenticationKnut Franke
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.

2014-02-18http: never use curl_easy_performJeff King
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.

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.

2013-10-14http: update base URLs when we see redirectsJeff King
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.

2013-10-14http: provide effective url to callersJeff King

2013-10-14http: hoist credential request out of handle_curl_resultJeff King
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. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>
2013-10-01http: refactor options to http_get_*Jeff King
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).

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.

2012-10-12http: fix segfault in handle_curl_resultJeff King
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).

2012-08-27http: factor out http error code handlingJeff King
Most of our http requests go through the http_request() interface, which does some nice post-processing on the results. In particular, it handles prompting for missing credentials as well as approving and rejecting valid or invalid credentials. Unfortunately, it only handles GET requests. Making it handle POSTs would be quite complex, so let's pull result handling code into its own function so that it can be reused from the POST code paths.

2011-12-14http-push: enable "proactive auth"Jeff King
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.

2011-11-04http: drop "local" member from request structJeff King
This is a FILE pointer in the case that we are sending our output to a file. We originally used it to run ftell() to determine whether data had been written to our file during our last call to curl. However, as of the last patch, we no longer care about that flag anymore. All uses of this struct member are now just book-keeping that can go away.

Since now select is used with the file descriptors of the http connections, tracking whether data was received recently (and trying to read more in that case) is no longer necessary. Instead, always call select and rely on it to return as soon as new data can be read.

2011-10-16http_init: accept separate URL parameterJeff King
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.
