==============================================================================
1. HTTP
1.2 hyper is slow
When curl is built to use hyper for HTTP, it is unnecessary slow.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11203
1.5 Expect-100 meets 417
If an upload using Expect: 100-continue receives an HTTP 417 response, it
ought to be automatically resent without the Expect:. A workaround is for
the client application to redo the transfer after disabling Expect:.
https://curl.se/mail/archive-2008-02/0043.html
2. TLS
2.3 Unable to use PKCS12 certificate with Secure Transport
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5403
2.4 Secure Transport will not import PKCS#12 client certificates without a password
libcurl calls SecPKCS12Import with the PKCS#12 client certificate, but that
function rejects certificates that do not have a password.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1308
2.5 Client cert handling with Issuer DN differs between backends
When the specified client certificate does not match any of the
server-specified DNs, the OpenSSL and GnuTLS backends behave differently.
The github discussion may contain a solution.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1411
2.7 Client cert (MTLS) issues with Schannel
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3145
2.11 Schannel TLS 1.2 handshake bug in old Windows versions
In old versions of Windows such as 7 and 8.1 the Schannel TLS 1.2 handshake
implementation likely has a bug that can rarely cause the key exchange to
fail, resulting in error SEC_E_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL or SEC_E_MESSAGE_ALTERED.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5488
2.12 FTPS with Schannel times out file list operation
"Instead of the command completing, it just sits there until the timeout
expires." - the same command line seems to work with other TLS backends and
other operating systems. See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5284.
2.13 CURLOPT_CERTINFO results in CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY with Schannel
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8741
3. Email protocols
3.1 IMAP SEARCH ALL truncated response
IMAP "SEARCH ALL" truncates output on large boxes. "A quick search of the
code reveals that pingpong.c contains some truncation code, at line 408, when
it deems the server response to be too large truncating it to 40 characters"
https://curl.se/bug/view.cgi?id=1366
3.2 No disconnect command
The disconnect commands (LOGOUT and QUIT) may not be sent by IMAP, POP3 and
SMTP if a failure occurs during the authentication phase of a connection.
3.3 POP3 expects "CRLF.CRLF" eob for some single-line responses
You have to tell libcurl not to expect a body, when dealing with one line
response commands. Please see the POP3 examples and test cases which show
this for the NOOP and DELE commands. https://curl.se/bug/?i=740
3.4 AUTH PLAIN for SMTP is not working on all servers
Specifying "--login-options AUTH=PLAIN" on the command line does not seem to
work correctly.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4080
3.5 APOP authentication fails on POP3
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/10073
4. Command line
5. Build and portability issues
5.1 OS400 port requires deprecated IBM library
curl for OS400 requires QADRT to build, which provides ASCII wrappers for
libc/POSIX functions in the ILE, but IBM no longer supports or even offers
this library to download.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5176
5.2 curl-config --libs contains private details
"curl-config --libs" will include details set in LDFLAGS when configure is
run that might be needed only for building libcurl. Further, curl-config
--cflags suffers from the same effects with CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS.
5.3 building for old macOS fails with gcc
Building curl for certain old macOS versions fails when gcc is used. We
command using clang in those cases.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11441
5.5 cannot handle Unicode arguments in non-Unicode builds on Windows
If a URL or filename cannot be encoded using the user's current codepage then
it can only be encoded properly in the Unicode character set. Windows uses
UTF-16 encoding for Unicode and stores it in wide characters, however curl
and libcurl are not equipped for that at the moment except when built with
_UNICODE and UNICODE defined. And, except for Cygwin, Windows cannot use UTF-8
as a locale.
https://curl.se/bug/?i=345
https://curl.se/bug/?i=731
https://curl.se/bug/?i=3747
5.6 cygwin: make install installs curl-config.1 twice
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8839
5.9 Utilize Requires.private directives in libcurl.pc
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/864
5.11 configure --with-gssapi with Heimdal is ignored on macOS
... unless you also pass --with-gssapi-libs
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3841
5.12 flaky CI builds
We run many CI builds for each commit and PR on github, and especially a
number of the Windows builds are flaky. This means that we rarely get all CI
builds go green and complete without errors. This is unfortunate as it makes
us sometimes miss actual build problems and it is surprising to newcomers to
the project who (rightfully) do not expect this.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6972
5.13 long paths are not fully supported on Windows
curl on Windows cannot access long paths (paths longer than 260 characters).
However, as a workaround, the Windows path prefix \\?\ which disables all path
interpretation may work to allow curl to access the path. For example:
\\?\c:\longpath.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8361
5.14 Windows Unicode builds use homedir in current locale
The Windows Unicode builds of curl use the current locale, but expect Unicode
UTF-8 encoded paths for internal use such as open, access and stat. The user's
home directory is retrieved via curl_getenv in the current locale and not as
UTF-8 encoded Unicode.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/7252 and
https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/7281
6. Authentication
6.1 NTLM authentication and unicode
NTLM authentication involving unicode user name or password only works
properly if built with UNICODE defined together with the Schannel
backend. The original problem was mentioned in:
https://curl.se/mail/lib-2009-10/0024.html
https://curl.se/bug/view.cgi?id=896
The Schannel version verified to work as mentioned in
https://curl.se/mail/lib-2012-07/0073.html
6.2 MIT Kerberos for Windows build
libcurl fails to build with MIT Kerberos for Windows (KfW) due to KfW's
library header files exporting symbols/macros that should be kept private to
the KfW library. See ticket #5601 at https://krbdev.mit.edu/rt/
6.3 NTLM in system context uses wrong name
NTLM authentication using SSPI (on Windows) when (lib)curl is running in
"system context" will make it use wrong(?) user name - at least when compared
to what winhttp does. See https://curl.se/bug/view.cgi?id=535
6.5 NTLM does not support password with § character
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/2120
6.6 libcurl can fail to try alternatives with --proxy-any
When connecting via a proxy using --proxy-any, a failure to establish an
authentication will cause libcurl to abort trying other options if the
failed method has a higher preference than the alternatives. As an example,
--proxy-any against a proxy which advertise Negotiate and NTLM, but which
fails to set up Kerberos authentication will not proceed to try authentication
using NTLM.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/876
6.7 Do not clear digest for single realm
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3267
6.9 SHA-256 digest not supported in Windows SSPI builds
Windows builds of curl that have SSPI enabled use the native Windows API calls
to create authentication strings. The call to InitializeSecurityContext fails
with SEC_E_QOP_NOT_SUPPORTED which causes curl to fail with CURLE_AUTH_ERROR.
Microsoft does not document supported digest algorithms and that SEC_E error
code is not a documented error for InitializeSecurityContext (digest).
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6302
6.10 curl never completes Negotiate over HTTP
Apparently it is not working correctly...?
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5235
6.11 Negotiate on Windows fails
When using --negotiate (or NTLM) with curl on Windows, SSL/TLS handshake
fails despite having a valid kerberos ticket cached. Works without any issue
in Unix/Linux.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5881
6.12 cannot use Secure Transport with Crypto Token Kit
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/7048
6.13 Negotiate authentication against Hadoop HDFS
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8264
7. FTP
7.3 FTP with NOBODY and FAILONERROR
It seems sensible to be able to use CURLOPT_NOBODY and CURLOPT_FAILONERROR
with FTP to detect if a file exists or not, but it is not working:
https://curl.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0295.html
7.4 FTP with ACCT
When doing an operation over FTP that requires the ACCT command (but not when
logging in), the operation will fail since libcurl does not detect this and
thus fails to issue the correct command:
https://curl.se/bug/view.cgi?id=635
7.11 FTPS upload data loss with TLS 1.3
During FTPS upload curl does not attempt to read TLS handshake messages sent
after the initial handshake. OpenSSL servers running TLS 1.3 may send such a
message. When curl closes the upload connection if unread data has been
received (such as a TLS handshake message) then the TCP protocol sends an
RST to the server, which may cause the server to discard or truncate the
upload if it has not read all sent data yet, and then return an error to curl
on the control channel connection.
Since 7.78.0 this is mostly fixed. curl will do a single read before closing
TLS connections (which causes the TLS library to read handshake messages),
however there is still possibility of an RST if more messages need to be read
or a message arrives after the read but before close (network race condition).
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6149
7.12 FTPS directory listing hangs on Windows with Schannel
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/9161
9. SFTP and SCP
9.1 SFTP does not do CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE correct
When libcurl sends CURLOPT_POSTQUOTE commands when connected to a SFTP server
using the multi interface, the commands are not being sent correctly and
instead the connection is "cancelled" (the operation is considered done)
prematurely. There is a half-baked (busy-looping) patch provided in the bug
report but it cannot be accepted as-is. See
https://curl.se/bug/view.cgi?id=748
9.2 wolfssh: publickey auth does not work
When building curl to use the wolfSSH backend for SFTP, the publickey
authentication does not work. This is simply functionality not written for curl
yet, the necessary API for make this work is provided by wolfSSH.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4820
9.3 Remote recursive folder creation with SFTP
On this servers, the curl fails to create directories on the remote server
even when the CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS option is set.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5204
9.4 libssh blocking and infinite loop problem
In the SSH_SFTP_INIT state for libssh, the ssh session working mode is set to
blocking mode. If the network is suddenly disconnected during sftp
transmission, curl will be stuck, even if curl is configured with a timeout.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8632
9.5 cygwin: "WARNING: UNPROTECTED PRIVATE KEY FILE!"
Running SCP and SFTP tests on cygwin makes this warning message appear.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11244
10. SOCKS
10.3 FTPS over SOCKS
libcurl does not support FTPS over a SOCKS proxy.
11. Internals
11.2 error buffer not set if connection to multiple addresses fails
If you ask libcurl to resolve a hostname like example.com to IPv6 addresses
only. But you only have IPv4 connectivity. libcurl will correctly fail with
CURLE_COULDNT_CONNECT. But the error buffer set by CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER
remains empty. Issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/544
11.4 HTTP test server 'connection-monitor' problems
The 'connection-monitor' feature of the sws HTTP test server does not work
properly if some tests are run in unexpected order. Like 1509 and then 1525.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/868
11.5 Connection information when using TCP Fast Open
CURLINFO_LOCAL_PORT (and possibly a few other) fails when TCP Fast Open is
enabled.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/1332 and
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4296
12. LDAP
12.1 OpenLDAP hangs after returning results
By configuration defaults, OpenLDAP automatically chase referrals on
secondary socket descriptors. The OpenLDAP backend is asynchronous and thus
should monitor all socket descriptors involved. Currently, these secondary
descriptors are not monitored, causing OpenLDAP library to never receive
data from them.
As a temporary workaround, disable referrals chasing by configuration.
The fix is not easy: proper automatic referrals chasing requires a
synchronous bind callback and monitoring an arbitrary number of socket
descriptors for a single easy handle (currently limited to 5).
Generic LDAP is synchronous: OK.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/622 and
https://curl.se/mail/lib-2016-01/0101.html
12.2 LDAP on Windows does authentication wrong?
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3116
12.3 LDAP on Windows does not work
A simple curl command line getting "ldap://ldap.forumsys.com" returns an
error that says "no memory" !
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4261
12.4 LDAPS requests to ActiveDirectory server hang
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/9580
13. TCP/IP
13.2 Trying local ports fails on Windows
This makes '--local-port [range]' to not work since curl cannot properly
detect if a port is already in use, so it will try the first port, use that and
then subsequently fail anyway if that was actually in use.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/8112
15. CMake
15.1 cmake outputs: no version information available
Something in the SONAME generation seems to be wrong in the cmake build.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11158
15.2 support build with GnuTLS
15.3 unusable tool_hugehelp.c with MinGW
see https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3125
15.4 build docs/curl.1
The cmake build does not create the docs/curl.1 file and therefore must rely on
it being there already. This makes the --manual option not work and test
cases like 1139 cannot function.
15.6 uses -lpthread instead of Threads::Threads
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6166
15.7 generated .pc file contains strange entries
The Libs.private field of the generated .pc file contains -lgcc -lgcc_s -lc
-lgcc -lgcc_s
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6167
15.8 libcurl.pc uses absolute library paths
The libcurl.pc file generated by cmake contains things like Libs.private:
/usr/lib64/libssl.so /usr/lib64/libcrypto.so /usr/lib64/libz.so. The
autotools equivalent would say Libs.private: -lssl -lcrypto -lz
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6169
15.11 ExternalProject_Add does not set CURL_CA_PATH
CURL_CA_BUNDLE and CURL_CA_PATH are not set properly when cmake's
ExternalProject_Add is used to build curl as a dependency.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6313
15.13 CMake build with MIT Kerberos does not work
Minimum CMake version was bumped in curl 7.71.0 (#5358) Since CMake 3.2
try_compile started respecting the CMAKE_EXE_FLAGS. The code dealing with
MIT Kerberos detection sets few variables to potentially weird mix of space,
and ;-separated flags. It had to blow up at some point. All the CMake checks
that involve compilation are doomed from that point, the configured tree
cannot be built.
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/6904
16. aws-sigv4
16.1 aws-sigv4 does not sign requests with * correctly
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/7559
16.6 aws-sigv4 does not behave well with AWS VPC Lattice
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/11007
17. HTTP/2
17.2 HTTP/2 frames while in the connection pool kill reuse
If the server sends HTTP/2 frames (like for example an HTTP/2 PING frame) to
curl while the connection is held in curl's connection pool, the socket will
be found readable when considered for reuse and that makes curl think it is
dead and then it will be closed and a new connection gets created instead.
This is *best* fixed by adding monitoring to connections while they are kept
in the pool so that pings can be responded to appropriately.
17.3 ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM causes infinite retries
Infinite retries with 2 parallel requests on one connection receiving GOAWAY
with ENHANCE_YOUR_CALM error code.
See https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/5119
18. HTTP/3
18.1 connection migration does not work
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/7695
