Summary: curl_multi_socket_action() Crash after Teardown

Initial Comment:
Hi,

We have recently implemented an RTSP client library using libcurl 7.21.4, but have found that in some instances a call to curl_multi_socket_action() with CURLMOPT_TIMERFUNCTION will cause a crash if any request is sent after a teardown has been issued. The process to invoke the crash would be to start a strream, stop it, and then to try start a stream again....

We tracked it down to Curl_getconnectinfo and have found that the SessionHandle parameter is set to NULL, which causes the crash as there is no check for this condition. As a temporary workaround we have added the following code at the start of the function to stop libcurl from crashing and it seems to work ok. Can you please check it out and let us know if the hack we put in place is ok ?

curl_socket_t Curl_getconnectinfo(struct SessionHandle *data,
                                  struct connectdata **connp)
{
  //TEMPORARY HACK UNTIL WE GET RESPONSE FROM CURL GUYS
  if(data==NULL)
    {
      printf("\nCurl_getconnectinfo - data==NULL??");
      return CURL_SOCKET_BAD;
    }
  curl_socket_t sockfd;
  if((data->state.lastconnect != -1) &&
     (data->state.connc->connects[data->state.lastconnect] != NULL)) {
    struct connectdata *c =
      data->state.connc->connects[data->state.lastconnect];
    if(connp)
      /* only store this if the caller cares for it */
      *connp = c;
    sockfd = c->sock[FIRSTSOCKET];
    /* we have a socket connected, let's determine if the server shut down */
    /* determine if ssl */
    if(c->ssl[FIRSTSOCKET].use) {
      /* use the SSL context */
      if(!Curl_ssl_check_cxn(c))
        return CURL_SOCKET_BAD; /* FIN received */
    }
/* Minix 3.1 doesn't support any flags on recv; just assume socket is OK */
#ifdef MSG_PEEK
    else {
      /* use the socket */
      char buf;
      if(recv((RECV_TYPE_ARG1)c->sock[FIRSTSOCKET], (RECV_TYPE_ARG2)&buf,
              (RECV_TYPE_ARG3)1, (RECV_TYPE_ARG4)MSG_PEEK) == 0) {
        return CURL_SOCKET_BAD; /* FIN received */
      }
    }
#endif
  }
  else
    return CURL_SOCKET_BAD;

  return sockfd;
}
