block: curl: Allow passing cookies via QCryptoSecret
Since cookies can contain sensitive data (session ID, etc ...) it is
desired to hide them from the prying eyes of users. Add a possibility to
pass them via the secret infrastructure.

Hi, Max, could you please give some hint about verification? Hi loyu, I set up a script on http://78.47.108.109:8080/cgi-bin/cookie-test.rb which displays the raw cookie data passed to it. You can use it to test the new feature like this: $ qemu-img convert -f raw -O raw \ --object secret,id=cookies,data=cookie-data-to-test \ "json:{'file.driver':'http', 'file.cookie-secret':'cookies', 'file.url':'http://78.47.108.109:8080/cgi-bin/cookie-test.rb'}" \ /tmp/cookie-data And then the file /tmp/cookie-data should contain the string "cookie-data-to-test" (probably padded with zero-bytes to a length of 512 bytes). Max Verified that qemu-kvm-rhev-2.10.0-3.el7 supports pass http cookies in the file.
Step to verify:
# qemu-img info "json:{'file.driver':'http','file.cookie-secret':'cookies','file.url':'http://10.66.11.1/image/rhel74-64-virtio.qcow2'}" --object secret,id=cookies,data=this-is-a-test
image: json:{"driver": "qcow2", "file": {"url": "http://10.66.11.1/image/rhel74-64-virtio.qcow2", "cookie-secret": "cookies", "driver": "http"}}
file format: qcow2
virtual size: 20G (21474836480 bytes)
disk size: unavailable
cluster_size: 65536

Description of problem: The curl block driver support for HTTP/HTTPS allows cookies to be set via the "cookie" option eg qemu-img info 'json: { "file.driver":"https", "file.url":"https://vcenter/folder/Windows%202003/Windows%202003-flat.vmdk?dcPath=Datacenter&dsName=datastore1", "file.sslverify":"off", "file.cookie":"vmware_soap_session=\"52a01262-bf93-ccce-d379-8dabb3e55560\""}' this is bad because many cookies are security sensitive (as in this example), essentially equivalent to passwords, and this syntax exposes them on the command line for all to see. QEMU has a secrets object which can be used to pass security sensitive data to QEMU without exposing it to snooping. The curl driver needs to be extended so that the cookie values can be passed in via secret objects. This is a pre-requisite for being able to pass cookies into QEMU from libvirt. A second problem is that the 'cookie' parameter is badly modelled from a QAPI schema. It is using a "str" to encode a list of key, value pairs, where it should be using a qapi list of structs. This likely needs to be fixed at the same time Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.9.0
