33 The <application>cURL</application> package contains an utility
34 and a library used for transferring files with URL syntax to any of
35 the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP,
36 TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. Its ability to both download
37 and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support
38 functions like streaming media.

152 2017-10-29 - bdubbs
153 For version 7.56.1 I had a lot of test failures which included long
154 timeouts. Could not determine the cause of the timeouts or failures,
155 but I was missing c-ares, MIT Kerberos, ldap, samba, and the six
156 external packages.
157
158 2017-12-01 - bdubbs
159 Still a lot of test failures. I did have c-ares, Kerberos, and ldap
160 installed this time. Best guess is that servers are not available.
161
162 2018-08-01 - renodr
163 No test failures, but I didn't have any of the optional dependencies except
164 for c-ares and libidn2. I might re-run this test suite before release with
165 all of the optional deps, but right now, it isn't a priority - rather
166 the security fix is.

168

170 To run the test suite, issue: <command>make test</command>.
171 <!-- Three tests, 1700, 1701, and 1702, are known to fail due to
172 missing executables from the nghttp2 package.-->

174<!-- Two (of 857) tests
175fail for unknown reasons, and all tests fail is valgrind is installed. Moving
176valgrind out of $PATH is recommended if you wish to run the test suite while

188 if stunnel and valgrind are not installed, and also most options
189 (I had rtmpdump), the tests complete without problems.

194 and no. I don't have smb - so commenting the rest of this:
195 To run the test suite, issue: <command>make test</command>. Many tests
196 may fail that depend on optional dependencies that may not be installed
197 or upstream servers that may not be available, especially for tests
198 numbered 700 and above.
199 Test time may be significantly increase due to hanging tests that fail.

211I only have c-ares and libidn2 installed, I will likely try before release
212with all optional dependencies in the book installed.
213
214=========
2157.61.1 NOTE: The test suite is extremely noisy, complaining about verification errors.
216It's possible this is due to openssl-1.1.1, BUT 79/79 tests report as 100% OK. I had
217c-ares, libpsl, and libidn1/2 installed. - Doug
