CURL library API has changed, the current curl driver is not working with current libcurl. It may or may not have worked with old libcurl, but currently, when testing with apache http URL, it just hangs before fetching any data. The problem is because the mismatch of our code and how libcurl wants to be used. (man 3 curl_multi_socket_action, section 'TYPICAL USAGE')
- Step 3. We need timer to support libcurl timeout. - Step 6. We'll call the right API function, replacing the deprecated. - Step 5, 8. Manage socket properly (take actions on socket fd that are passed into socket callback from libcurl) This patch rewrites the use of API as well as the structure of internal states: BDRVCURLState holds the pointer to curl multi interface (man 3 libcurl-multi), and 4 lists for internal states: - CURLState holds state for libcurl connection (man 3 libcurl-easy) - CURLSockInfo holds information for libcurl socket interface (man 3 curl_multi_socket_action). - CURLDataCache holds the user data read from libcurl, it is in a list ordered by access, the used cache is moved to list head on access, so the tail element is freed first. BDRVCURLState.cache_quota is the threshold to start freeing cache. - CURLAIOCB holds ongoing aio information. v7: 13: Added: curl: change timeout to 30 seconds v6: 05: Rename bs to s for BDRVCURLState. 06: Use int64_t for offsets. Fix printf format string. Move introducing of use_count to 07. 07: Drop explicit cast. Use int64_t for offsets. Use_count moved here. 08: Remove duplicated. Move s->url = NULL to separate patch. 09: Fix while(0); 12: Added: curl: set s->url to NULL after free. Fam Zheng (12): curl: introduce CURLSockInfo to BDRVCURLState. curl: change magic number to sizeof curl: change curl_multi_do to curl_fd_handler curl: fix curl_open curl: add timer to BDRVCURLState curl: introduce CURLDataCache curl: make use of CURLDataCache. curl: use list to store CURLState curl: add cache quota. curl: introduce ssl_no_cert runtime option. curl: set s->url to NULL after free. curl: change timeout to 30 seconds Richard W.M.
