Instead of spreading the data in function arguments, some of which
aren't used for ssh and having a struct only for ssh, use a struct for
both, using a common parent to pass to the callback.
This option make it easy to ignore anything about the server we're
connecting to, which is bad security practice. This was necessary as we
didn't use to expose detailed information about the certificate, but now
that we do, we should get rid of this.
If the user wants to ignore everything, they can still provide a
callback which ignores all the information passed.
We should let the user decide whether to cancel the connection or not
regardless of whether our checks have decided that the certificate is
fine. We provide our own assessment to the callback to let the user fall
back to our checks if they so desire.
If the certificate validation fails (or always in the case of ssh),
let the user decide whether to allow the connection.
The data structure passed to the user is the native certificate
information from the underlying implementation, namely OpenSSL or
WinHTTP.
When the call to the agent fails, we must retrieve the error message
just after the function call, as other calls may overwrite it.
As the agent authentication is the only one which has a teardown and
there does not seem to be a way to get the error message from a stored
error number, this tries to introduce some small changes to store the
error from the agent.
Clearing the error at the beginning of the loop lets us know whether the
agent has already set the libgit2 error message and we should skip it,
or if we should set it.
The recv buffer (parse_buffer) and the buffer have independent sizes and
offsets. We try to fill in parse_buffer as much as possible before
passing it to the http parser. This is fine most of the time, but fails
us when the buffer is almost full.
In those situations, parse_buffer can have more data than we would be
able to put into the buffer (which may be getting full if we're towards
the end of a data sideband packet).
To work around this, we check if the space we have left on our buffer is
smaller than what could come from the network. If this happens, we make
parse_buffer think that it has as much space left as our buffer, so it
won't try to retrieve more data than we can deal with.
As the start of the data may no longer be at the start of the buffer, we
need to keep track of where it really starts (data_offset) and use that
in our calculations for the real size of the data we received from the
network.
This fixes#2518.
* Move the transport registration mechanisms into a new header under
'sys/' because this is advanced stuff.
* Remove the 'priority' argument from the registration as it adds
unnecessary complexity. (Since transports cannot decline to operate,
only the highest priority transport is ever executed.) Users who
require per-priority transports can implement that in their custom
transport themselves.
* Simplify registration further by taking a scheme (eg "http") instead
of a prefix (eg "http://").
git allows you to set which paths to use for the git server programs
when connecting over ssh; and we want to provide something similar.
We do this by providing a factory function which can be set as the
remote's transport callback which will set the given paths upon
creation.
When the stream writing function was written, it assume that
libssh2_channel_write() would always write all of the data to the
wire. This is only true for the first 32k of data, which it tries to
fit into one ssh packet.
Since it can perform short writes, call it in a loop like we do for
send(), advancing the buffer offset.
In order to know which authentication methods are supported/allowed by
the ssh server, we need to send a NONE auth request, which needs a
username associated with it.
Most ssh server implementations do not allow switching the username
between authentication attempts, which means we cannot use a dummy
username and then switch. There are two ways around this.
The first is to use a different connection, which an earlier commit
implements, but this increases how long it takes to get set up, and
without knowing the right username, we cannot guarantee that the
list we get in response is the right one.
The second is what's implemented here: if there is no username specified
in the url, ask for it first. We can then ask for the list of auth
methods and use the user's credentials in the same connection.
Before calling the credentials callback, ask the sever which
authentication methods it supports and report that to the user, instead
of simply reporting everything that the transport supports.
In case of an error, we do fall back to listing all of them.
Whe already worked out the kinks with the function used in the local
transport. Expose it and make use of it in the local clone method
instead of trying to work it out again.
We have too many places where we repeat free code, so when adding the
new free to the generic code, it didn't take for the local transport.
While there, fix a C99-ism that sneaked through.
The protocol has a capability which allows the server to tell us which
refs are symrefs, so we can e.g. know which is the default branch.
This capability is different from the ones we already support, as it's
not setting a flag to true, but requires us to store a list of
refspec-formatted mappings.
This commit does not yet expose the information in the reference
listing.
Allow the credentials callback to return GIT_PASSTHROUGH to make the
transports code behave as though none was set.
This should make it easier for bindings to behave closer to the C code
when there is no credentials callback set at their level.
The ssh-specific credentials allow the username to be missing. The idea
being that the ssh transport will then use the username provided in the
url, if it's available. There are two main issues with this.
The credential callback already knows what username was provided by the
url and needs to figure out whether it wants to ask the user for it or
it can reuse it, so passing NULL as the username means the credential
callback is suspicious.
The username provided in the url is not in fact used by the
transport. The only time it even considers it is for the user/pass
credential, which asserts the existence of a username in its
constructor. For the ssh-specific ones, it passes in the username stored
in the credential, which is NULL. The libssh2 macro we use runs strlen()
against this value (which is no different from what we would be doing
ourselves), so we then crash.
As the documentation doesn't suggest to leave out the username, assert
the need for a username in the code, which removes this buggy behavior
and removes implicit state.
git_cred_has_username() becomes a blacklist of credential types that do
not have a username. The only one at the moment is the 'default' one,
which is meant to call up some Microsoft magic.
- added MSVC cmake definitions to disable warnings
- general.c is rewritten so it is ansi-c compatible and compiles ok on microsoft windows
- some MSVC reported warning fixes
Any well-behaved program should write a descriptive message to the
reflog whenever it updates a reference. Let's make this more prominent
by removing the version without the reflog parameters.
This renames git_vector_free_all to the better git_vector_free_deep
and also contains a couple of memory leak fixes based on valgrind
checks. The fixes are specifically: failure to free global dir
path variables when not compiled with threading on and failure to
free filters from the filter registry that had not be initialized
fully.
This changes the behavior of callbacks so that the callback error
code is not converted into GIT_EUSER and instead we propagate the
return value through to the caller. Instead of using the
giterr_capture and giterr_restore functions, we now rely on all
functions to pass back the return value from a callback.
To avoid having a return value with no error message, the user
can call the public giterr_set_str or some such function to set
an error message. There is a new helper 'giterr_set_callback'
that functions can invoke after making a callback which ensures
that some error message was set in case the callback did not set
one.
In places where the sign of the callback return value is
meaningful (e.g. positive to skip, negative to abort), only the
negative values are returned back to the caller, obviously, since
the other values allow for continuing the loop.
The hardest parts of this were in the checkout code where positive
return values were overloaded as meaningful values for checkout.
I fixed this by adding an output parameter to many of the internal
checkout functions and removing the overload. This added some
code, but it is probably a better implementation.
There is some funkiness in the network code where user provided
callbacks could be returning a positive or a negative value and
we want to rely on that to cancel the loop. There are still a
couple places where an user error might get turned into GIT_EUSER
there, I think, though none exercised by the tests.
This continues auditing all the places where GIT_EUSER is being
returned and making sure to clear any existing error using the
new giterr_user_cancel helper. As a result, places that relied
on intercepting GIT_EUSER but having the old error preserved also
needed to be cleaned up to correctly stash and then retrieve the
actual error.
Additionally, as I encountered places where error codes were not
being propagated correctly, I tried to fix them up. A number of
those fixes are included in the this commit as well.
This adds `git_config__lookup_entry` which will look up a key in
a config and return either the entry or NULL if the key was not
present. Optionally, it can either suppress all errors or can
return them (although not finding the key is not an error for this
function). Unlike other accessors, this does not normalize the
config key string, so it must only be used when the key is known
to be in normalized form (i.e. all lower-case before the first dot
and after the last dot, with no invalid characters).
This also adds three high-level helper functions to look up config
values with no errors and a fallback value. The three functions
are for string, bool, and int values, and will resort to the
fallback value for any error that arises. They are:
* `git_config__get_string_force`
* `git_config__get_bool_force`
* `git_config__get_int_force`
None of them normalize the config `key` either, so they can only
be used for internal cases where the key is known to be in normal
format.
The callback-based method of listing remote references dates back to the
beginning of the network code's lifetime, when we didn't know any
better.
We need to keep the list around for update_tips() after disconnect() so
let's make use of this to simply give the user a pointer to the array so
they can write straightforward code instead of having to go through a
callback.
This avoids sending our whole history bit by bit to the remote in cases
where there is no common history, just to give up in the end.
The number comes from the canonical implementation.
This tells the server that we speak it, but we don't make use of its
extra information to determine if there's a better place to stop
negotiating.
In a somewhat-related change, reorder the capabilities so we ask for
them in the same order as git does.
Also take this opportunity to factor out a fairly-indented portion of
the negotiation logic.
It was there to keep it apart from the one which read in from a file on
disk. This other indexer does not exist anymore, so there is no need for
anything other than git_indexer to refer to it.
While here, rename _add() function to _append() and _finalize() to
_commit(). The former change is cosmetic, while the latter avoids
talking about "finalizing", which OO languages use to mean something
completely different.
The names from libssh2 are somewhat obtuse for us. We can simplify the
usual key/passphrase credential's name, as well as make clearer what the
custom signature function is.
