Added the possibility to explicitly state that the peer certificate should not be checked.
Back to the default - checking the certificate.
Exported MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT
Usage : mysqli_real_connect( , , , , , MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL | MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL_DONT_VERIFY_SERVER_CERT)
If mysqli_ssl_set() is not called, but only MYSQLI_CLIENT_SSL is passed, without the (don't) very flag,
then no verification takes place.
- mysqlnd_stmt::send_execute() which just creates the wire message by using
an aux function and sends it to the server
- mysqlnd_stmt::parse_execute_respose() which is responsible for handling
the bytes sent from the server in response to COM_EXECUTE.
This makes it possible to implement finer method overwriting in mysqlnd
plugins.
implies more memory copy. The old method is still available and can be used.
It stays as default. Choosing the method is through a flag to mysqli_query()/mysqli_real_query()
New mode can be forced with an INI setting, for all extensions that support this mode
(ext/mysql and mysqli, because PDO due to it's architecture can't support it)
The setting is mysqlnd.fetch_data_copy=[0|1]
Add support for explicitly starting a transaction - modes also available.
Using the API makes the life of load balancer mysqlnd plugins easier/possible.
Authentication protocol can be changed, a new raw
packet is introduced, which includes only the "encrypted"
data for the auth plugin, sent after change protocol (0xFE)
is sent to the client.
Move the authentication routines, the native ones, to
separate file and encapsulate them in a plugin.
Depending on the server version and what the server
requests (or doesn't in old versions) load the authentication
plugin to handle it.
Currently only the 4.1+ authentication is supported. More to come
