RE: Patches to winbuild for support of c-ares and OpenSSL debug
On Tue, 30 Dec 2014, Sam wrote: I'm submitting the attached patches for consideration, which I have used for my own build. I am building on Windows 8, using nmake from the developer console supplied with Visual Studio 2013 Express. Thank you for your submission and work on this. One patch adds support for linking against the debug versions of OpenSSL libraries when building a debug version of libcurl. What version of OpenSSL are you using and what commands did you use to build OpenSSL? The other adds support for linking against c-ares, and enabling its use through the USE_ARES symbol definition. This patch looks pretty good to me. Kind Regards Steve --- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
Re: Patches to winbuild for support of c-ares and OpenSSL debug
What version of OpenSSL are you using and what commands did you use to build OpenSSL? I am using OpenSSL 1.01j. I actually did not build it, but rather took the lazy shortcut and downloaded binaries from http://www.npcglib.org/~stathis/blog/precompiled-openssl/ I've just noticed, reading through the notes there, that the fellow doing the building states: The main difference from the official release is that I patch the sources to allow compiling libraries with filenames that reflect the compile configuration, which makes it easier to use later. I would read that to mean that his library names might be non-standard, so perhaps this patch is not suitable for general use. Though there still exists the issue on Windows that you must build a project with consistent linkage against the same versions of the CRT, or you will get errors/warnings. That is what led me to set up linking against the debug versions of OpenSSL in the first place.

Unfortunately the OpenSSL build system isn't great for side-by-side builds under Windows either debug and release or different versions of Visual Studio etc... Though there still exists the issue on Windows that you must build a project with consistent linkage against the same versions of the CRT, or you will get errors/warnings. That is what led me to set up linking against the debug versions of OpenSSL in the first place. Kind of... If you are building a debug version of libcurl, you can link against the release version of OpenSSL. The only thing you won't be able to do is debug the OpenSSL functions. I don't think you can mix /MD and /MT builds - but I only use the out of the box version of OpenSSL and assume it uses /MD (dynamic CRT) even for the static builds as I don't run into any issues with our Visual Studio project file based builds where we only support the dynamic CRT at present (/MD and /MDd). Note: In these project files we support the following configurations which may be of interest to you rather than using the makefiles: * A static version of libcurl that links against the static version of OpenSSL * A static version of libcurl that links against the DLL version of OpenSSL * A DLL version of libcurl that links against the DLL version of OpenSSL If memory serves me correctly, you couldn't mix the threading models, but I've not used the single threaded libraries for years - are they still available?

Need Help Please
I have packaged cURL for my enterprise developers to use when needed but am having some issues. The installation part is easy, but I need to modify my package due to a configuration issue. Please let me explain. We are in a very locked down environment; users and devs do not have access rights to their machines; so everything must be packaged for them and installed via SCCM. The problem is our proxy, we are using WPAD to get to an external proxy which lets people out. What settings do I need to modify in order to use cURL? I have tried setting http_proxy and https_proxy but I'm still unable to connect. This would be for 64-bit Windows 7 Enterprise machines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If more information is needed, please let me know.

I have tried setting http_proxy and https_proxy but I’m still unable to connect. WPAD generally provides a small Javascript program that's executed by the browser to determine which sites to send to a proxy and which proxy to use. curl doesn't contain a Javascript interpreter, so it can't use such a proxy configuration directly. It's (theoretically) possible to integrate a standalone Javascript interpreter with libcurl to handle this kind of proxy configuration, but it wouldn't be trivial. See the mailing list archives for previous questions about this. Alternately, for certain simple cases you could manually interpret the proxy configuration, extract the correct proxy server for the site(s) you're interested in, and provide that proxy server in http_proxy.

That little bit of Javascript is probably a proxy-auto-config (.pac) file. I put in a few minutes way back when to see if we could automate processing those. See this post for details on handling .pac in a script: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2002-06/0104.html As long as you know where to get the .pac file, you may be able to exec a script from your program to process it and return something usable. Dunno how you'd do that in Windows, though. Ralph Mitchell --- List admin: http://cool.haxx.se/list/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/etiquette.html
