curl versions 7.16.3 to 7.18.0 included had a regression in which https requests following curl_global_cleanup/init sequence would fail with ASN1 parser errors with curl-gnutls. Such sequences happen in some cases such as git fetch. We work around this by removing the http_cleanup call from get_refs_via_curl for the broken versions of curl, and allowing http_init to be called several times without initializing http.c global variables again and leaking old values, which is a safe thing to have unconditionally. The remaining calls to http_cleanup are either last (http-push.c), or almost never called (walker.c; the function it lies in is only called from transport-disconnect, which is called last, and only in builtin-push.c) These leaks shall be addressed in the http code refactoring.

Damn, you're right. But it would actually be better to just have the init variable set to 0 again in http_cleanup, and actually, we already have a global variable that is set in http_init and reset in http_cleanup that could be used for this test... http.c | 3 +++ transport.c | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-) diff --git a/http.c b/http.c index d2c11ae..d69ba90 100644 --- a/http.c +++ b/http.c @@ -218,6 +218,9 @@ void http_init(void) char *low_speed_limit; char *low_speed_time; + if (pragma_header) + return; + curl_global_init(CURL_GLOBAL_ALL); pragma_header = curl_slist_append(pragma_header, "Pragma: no-cache"); diff --git a/transport.c b/transport.c index babaa21..32ab521 100644 --- a/transport.c +++ b/transport.c @@ -473,7 +473,9 @@ static struct ref *get_refs_via_curl(struct transport *transport) return NULL; } +#if (LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM < 0x071003) || (LIBCURL_VERSION_NUM > 0x071200) http_cleanup(); +#endif data = buffer.buf; start = NULL; -- 1.5.4.8.g95ac - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
