3494d650273e619606c6cb2c38aa9b8b7bed98e2 curl: refuse to open URL from HTTP server without range support
CURL driver requests partial data from server on guest IO req. For HTTP
and HTTPS, it uses "Range: ***" in requests, and this will not work if
server not accepting range. This patch does this check when open.
* Removed curl_size_cb, which is not used: On one hand it's registered to
libcurl as CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION, instead of CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION,
which will get called with *data*, not *header*. On the other hand the
s->len is assigned unconditionally later.
In this gone function, the sscanf for "Content-Length: %zd", on
(void *)ptr, which is not guaranteed to be zero-terminated, is
potentially a security bug. So this patch fixes it as a side-effect. The
bug is reported as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1188943
(Note the bug is marked "private" so you might not be able to see it)
* Introduced curl_header_cb, which is used to parse header and mark the
server as accepting range if "Accept-Ranges: bytes" line is seen from
response header. If protocol is HTTP or HTTPS, but server response has
no not this support, refuse to open this URL.
Note that python builtin module SimpleHTTPServer is an example of not
supporting range, if you need to test this driver, get a better server
or use internet URLs.
