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.
