(axis-axis2-c-core) 04/07: AXIS2C-1708 Modern security hardening: Phase 3: Attack surface reduction - remove deprecated features

This is an automated email from the ASF dual-hosted git repository.

robertlazarski pushed a commit to branch master
in repository https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/axis-axis2-c-core.git

commit 01321cb5cd339586dbc0c1c97297f5cce9fb12ec
Author: Robert Lazarski <ro...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Jan 30 12:05:57 2026 -1000

    AXIS2C-1708 Modern security hardening: Phase 3: Attack surface reduction - remove deprecated features
    
    Remove deprecated and obsolete features to reduce attack surface:
    
    1. libcurl HTTP backend (--enable-libcurl)
       - Redundant with native HTTP client
       - MTOM broken with libcurl (AXIS2C-1270)
       - HTTP/2 uses nghttp2 instead
    
    2. TCP Transport (--enable-tcp)
       - Obsolete: Raw TCP lacks HTTP semantics (no Content-Length,
         chunked encoding, headers, status codes)
       - No encryption layer (TLS requires HTTP for ALPN negotiation)
       - Incompatible with web infrastructure (proxies, load balancers,
         firewalls expect HTTP)
       - WS-Addressing over raw TCP is non-standard
       - Modern replacement: HTTP/2 provides multiplexing benefits
         that TCP transport aimed for, with full HTTP semantics
    
    3. CGI Transport (--enable-cgi)
       - Obsolete deployment model
       - Security concerns with CGI execution
       - Performance overhead of process-per-request
       - Modern replacement: mod_axis2 with Apache
    
    4. NTLM sample code
       - NTLM authentication already removed
       - Sample code no longer functional
    
    Note: tcpmon debugging tool is retained - it's useful for
    HTTP/1.1 SOAP debugging and doesn't affect production security.
    
    Changes:
    - Remove configure.ac options for tcp, cgi, libcurl
    - Delete src/core/transport/tcp/ directory
    - Delete src/core/transport/http/server/CGI/ directory
    - Delete src/core/transport/http/sender/libcurl/ directory
    - Delete src/core/transport/http/sender/ntlm/ directory
    - Delete samples/client/ntlm/ directory
    - Remove AXIS2_LIBCURL_ENABLED from build scripts
    - Update header files to remove libcurl declarations

-NTLM authentication for Axis2/C clients using default http transport is made possible with this
-package. By default NTLM authentication is disabled in Axis2/C build. to enable NTLM authentication
-user need to configure Axis2/C with an external  NTLM library like Heimdal[1] 
-
-NTLM support is added to Axis2/C client transport as a dynamically loadedable library called axis2c_ntlm.
-This library will wrap a external NTLM library like Heimdal to provide NTLM support. Axis2/C is shipped with
-a wrapper to Heimdal which you can find under heimdal subdirectory here. Developers have tested successfully with a
-wrapper to libntlm[2] as well.
-
-One can write a wrapper to any other external NTLM libary of his choice by implementing axis2_ntlm.h header file and
-studying the heimdal wrapper here.
-
-To enable heimdal NTLM library at build time configure Axis2/C with following option
-configure --enable-heimdal=yes
-
-There are some examples of using NTLM authenticaion with Axis2/C clients under
-<AXIS2C_SOURCE>/samples/client/ntlm subdirecory.
