ad9bb6dfe6 http: add support for authtype and credential
Now that we have the credential helper code set up to handle arbitrary
authentications schemes, let's add support for this in the HTTP code,
where we really want to use it.  If we're using this new functionality,
don't set a username and password, and instead set a header wherever
we'd normally do so, including for proxy authentication.

Since we can now handle this case, ask the credential helper to enable
the appropriate capabilities.

Finally, if we're using the authtype value, set "Expect: 100-continue".
Any type of authentication that requires multiple rounds (such as NTLM
or Kerberos) requires a 100 Continue (if we're larger than
http.postBuffer) because otherwise we send the pack data before we're
authenticated, the push gets a 401 response, and we can't rewind the
stream.  We don't know for certain what other custom schemes might
require this, the HTTP/1.1 standard has required handling this since
1999, the broken HTTP server for which we disabled this (Google's) is
now fixed and has been for some time, and libcurl has a 1-second
fallback in case the HTTP server is still broken.  In addition, it is
not unreasonable to require compliance with a 25-year old standard to
use new Git features.  For all of these reasons, do so here.

d01c76f1cf http: use new headers for each object request
Currently we create one set of headers for all object requests and reuse
it.  However, we'll need to adjust the headers for authentication
purposes in the future, so let's create a new set for each request so
that we can adjust them if the authentication changes.

Note that the cost of allocation here is tiny compared to the fact that
we're making a network call, not to mention probably a full TLS
connection, so this shouldn't have a significant impact on performance.
Moreover, nobody who cares about performance is using the dumb HTTP
protocol anyway, since it often makes huge numbers of requests compared
to the smart protocol.

fe7e44e1ab http: prefer CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION to CURLOPT_IOCTLFUNCTION
The IOCTLFUNCTION option has been deprecated, and generates a compiler
warning in recent versions of curl. We can switch to using SEEKFUNCTION
instead. It was added in 2008 via curl 7.18.0; our INSTALL file already
indicates we require at least curl 7.19.4.

But there's one catch: curl says we should use CURL_SEEKFUNC_{OK,FAIL},
and those didn't arrive until 7.19.5. One workaround would be to use a
bare 0/1 here (or define our own macros).  But let's just bump the
minimum required version to 7.19.5. That version is only a minor version
bump from our existing requirement, and is only a 2 month time bump for
versions that are almost 13 years old. So it's not likely that anybody
cares about the distinction.

Switching means we have to rewrite the ioctl functions into seek
functions. In some ways they are simpler (seeking is the only
operation), but in some ways more complex (the ioctl allowed only a full
rewind, but now we can seek to arbitrary offsets).

Curl will only ever use SEEK_SET (per their documentation), so I didn't
bother implementing anything else, since it would naturally be
completely untested. This seems unlikely to change, but I added an
assertion just in case.

Likewise, I doubt curl will ever try to seek outside of the buffer sizes
we've told it, but I erred on the defensive side here, rather than do an
out-of-bounds read.

b0c4adcdd7 remote-curl: send Accept-Language header to server
Git server end's ability to accept Accept-Language header was introduced
in f18604bbf2 (http: add Accept-Language header if possible, 2015-01-28),
but this is only used by very early phase of the transfer, which is HTTP
GET request to discover references. For other phases, like POST request
in the smart HTTP, the server does not know what language the client
speaks.

Teach git client to learn end-user's preferred language and throw
accept-language header to the server side. Once the server gets this header,
it has the ability to talk to end-user with language they understand.
This would be very helpful for many non-English speakers.

3e8084f188 http: check CURLE_SSL_PINNEDPUBKEYNOTMATCH when emitting errors
Change the error shown when a http.pinnedPubKey doesn't match to point
the http.pinnedPubKey variable added in aeff8a6121 (http: implement
public key pinning, 2016-02-15), e.g.:

    git -c http.pinnedPubKey=sha256/someNonMatchingKey ls-remote https://github.com/git/git.git
    fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/git/git.git/' with http.pinnedPubkey configuration: SSL: public key does not match pinned public key!

Before this we'd emit the exact same thing without the " with
http.pinnedPubkey configuration". The advantage of doing this is that
we're going to get a translated message (everything after the ":" is
hardcoded in English in libcurl), and we've got a reference to the
git-specific configuration variable that's causing the error.

Unfortunately we can't test this easily, as there are no tests that
require https:// in the test suite, and t/lib-httpd.sh doesn't know
how to set up such tests. See [1] for the start of a discussion about
what it would take to have divergent "t/lib-httpd/apache.conf" test
setups. #leftoverbits

644de29e22 http: drop support for curl < 7.19.4
In the last commit we dropped support for curl < 7.16.0, let's
continue that and drop support for versions older than 7.19.3. This
allows us to simplify the code by getting rid of some "#ifdef"'s.

Git was broken with vanilla curl < 7.19.4 from v2.12.0 until
v2.15.0. Compiling with it was broken by using CURLPROTO_* outside any
"#ifdef" in aeae4db174 (http: create function to get curl allowed
protocols, 2016-12-14), and fixed in v2.15.0 in f18777ba6e (http: fix
handling of missing CURLPROTO_*, 2017-08-11).

It's unclear how much anyone was impacted by that in practice, since
as noted in [1] RHEL versions using curl older than that still
compiled, because RedHat backported some features. Perhaps other
vendors did the same.

Still, it's one datapoint indicating that it wasn't in active use at
the time. That (the v2.12.0 release) was in Feb 24, 2017, with v2.15.0
on Oct 30, 2017, it's now mid-2021.

013c7e2b07 http: drop support for curl < 7.16.0
In the last commit we dropped support for curl < 7.11.1, let's
continue that and drop support for versions older than 7.16.0. This
allows us to get rid of some now-obsolete #ifdefs.

Choosing 7.16.0 is a somewhat arbitrary cutoff:

  1. It came out in October of 2006, almost 15 years ago.
     Besides being a nice round number, around 10 years is
     a common end-of-life support period, even for conservative
     distributions.

  2. That version introduced the curl_multi interface, which
     gives us a lot of bang for the buck in removing #ifdefs

RHEL 5 came with curl 7.15.5[1] (released in August 2006). RHEL 5's
extended life cycle program ended on 2020-11-30[1]. RHEL 6 comes with
curl 7.19.7 (released in November 2009), and RHEL 7 comes with
7.29.0 (released in February 2013).

1119a15b5c http: drop support for curl < 7.11.1
Drop support for this ancient version of curl and simplify the code by
allowing us get rid of some "#ifdef"'s.

Git will not build with vanilla curl older than 7.11.1 due our use of
CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE in 37ee680d9b
(http.postbuffer: allow full range of ssize_t values,
2017-04-11). This field was introduced in curl 7.11.1.

We could solve these compilation problems with more #ifdefs,
but it's not worth the trouble. Version 7.11.1 came out in
March of 2004, over 17 years ago. Let's declare that too old
and drop any existing ifdefs that go further back. One
obvious benefit is that we'll have fewer conditional bits
cluttering the code.

This patch drops all #ifdefs that reference older versions
(note that curl's preprocessor macros are in hex, so we're
looking for 070b01, not 071101).

726b25a91b http: allow custom index-pack args
Currently, when fetching, packfiles referenced by URIs are run through
index-pack without any arguments other than --stdin and --keep, no
matter what arguments are used for the packfile that is inline in the
fetch response. As a preparation for ensuring that all packs (whether
inline or not) use the same index-pack arguments, teach the http
subsystem to allow custom index-pack arguments.

http-fetch has been updated to use the new API. For now, it passes
--keep alone instead of --keep with a process ID, but this is only
temporary because http-fetch itself will be taught to accept index-pack
parameters (instead of using a hardcoded constant) in a subsequent
commit.

eb05349247 http: refactor finish_http_pack_request()
finish_http_pack_request() does multiple tasks, including some
housekeeping on a struct packed_git - (1) closing its index, (2)
removing it from a list, and (3) installing it. These concerns are
independent of fetching a pack through HTTP: they are there only because
(1) the calling code opens the pack's index before deciding to fetch it,
(2) the calling code maintains a list of packfiles that can be fetched,
and (3) the calling code fetches it in order to make use of its objects
in the same process.

In preparation for a subsequent commit, which adds a feature that does
not need any of this housekeeping, remove (1), (2), and (3) from
finish_http_pack_request(). (2) and (3) are now done by a helper
function, and (1) is the responsibility of the caller (in this patch,
done closer to the point where the pack index is opened).

Whenever GIT_CURL_VERBOSE is set, teach Git to behave as if
GIT_TRACE_CURL=1 and GIT_TRACE_CURL_NO_DATA=1 is set, instead of setting

This is to prevent inadvertent revelation of sensitive data. In
particular, GIT_CURL_VERBOSE redacts neither the "Authorization" header
nor any cookies specified by GIT_REDACT_COOKIES.

Unifying the tracing mechanism also has the future benefit that any
improvements to the tracing mechanism will benefit both users of
GIT_CURL_VERBOSE and GIT_TRACE_CURL, and we do not need to remember to
implement any improvement twice.

a3722bcbbd http: factor out curl result code normalization
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).

50d3413740 http: make redirects more obvious
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).

8cb01e2fd3 http: support sending custom HTTP headers
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.

Big thanks to Jeff King and Junio Hamano for their outstanding help and
patient reviews.

The ssh(1) command has an equivalent switches which we may pass when

372370f167 http: use credential API to handle proxy authentication
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

this has happened, as curl takes care of the details and

CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_URL. Let's make that optionally available
