* HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection.
Once a secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent
uses the proxy as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct
the proxy to establish a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin
server. HTTPS proxies protect nearly all aspects of user-proxy
communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that receive all requests
(including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_
SSL/TLS sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy
and the "inner" one between the user agent and the origin server
(through the proxy). This change adds supports for such nested sessions
as well.
A secure connection with a proxy requires its own set of the usual SSL
options (their actual descriptions differ and need polishing, see TODO):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to proxies with bad certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts,
except --proxy-crlfile which defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath
which defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
Supported backends: OpenSSL, GnuTLS, and NSS.
* A SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to
the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS
proxy.
TODO: Update documentation for the new APIs and --proxy-* options.
Look for "Added in 7.XXX" marks.
- Fix GnuTLS code for CURL_SSLVERSION_TLSv1_2 that broke when the
TLS 1.3 support was added in 6ad3add.
- Homogenize across code for all backends the error message when TLS 1.3
is not available to "<backend>: TLS 1.3 is not yet supported".
- Return an error when a user-specified ssl version is unrecognized.
---
Prior to this change our code for some of the backends used the
'default' label in the switch statement (ie ver unrecognized) for
ssl.version and treated it the same as CURL_SSLVERSION_DEFAULT.
Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-11/0048.html
Reported-by: Kamil Dudka
As it seems to be a rarely used cipher suite (for securely established
but _unencrypted_ connections), I believe it is fine not to provide an
alias for the misspelled variant.
Serialise the call to PK11_FindSlotByName() to avoid spurious errors in
a multi-threaded environment. The underlying cause is a race condition
in nssSlot_IsTokenPresent().
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1297397Closes#985
Only protocols that actually have a protocol registered for ALPN and NPN
should try to get that negotiated in the TLS handshake. That is only
HTTPS (well, http/1.1 and http/2) right now. Previously ALPN and NPN
would wrongly be used in all handshakes if libcurl was built with it
enabled.

Fixes#789
Without this workaround, NSS re-uses a session cache entry despite the
server name does not match. This causes SNI host name to differ from
the actual host name. Consequently, certain servers (e.g. github.com)
respond by 400 to such requests.
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/1202264
This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc24.

The vtls layer now checks the return value, so it is no longer necessary
to abort if a random number cannot be provided by NSS. This also fixes
the following Coverity report:
Error: FORWARD_NULL (CWE-476):
lib/vtls/nss.c:1918: var_compare_op: Comparing "data" to null implies that "data" might be null.
lib/vtls/nss.c:1923: var_deref_model: Passing null pointer "data" to "Curl_failf", which dereferences it.
lib/sendf.c:154:3: deref_parm: Directly dereferencing parameter "data".
Correctly check for memcmp() return value (it returns 0 if the strings match).
This is not really important, since curl is going to use http/1.1 anyway, but
it's still a bug I guess.
Carrying on from commit 037cd0d991, removed the following unimplemented
instances of curlssl_close_all():
Curl_axtls_close_all()
Curl_darwinssl_close_all()
Curl_cyassl_close_all()
Curl_gskit_close_all()
Curl_gtls_close_all()
Curl_nss_close_all()
Curl_polarssl_close_all()
curl_schannel.h:123: warning: right-hand operand of comma expression
has no effect
Some instances of the curlssl_close_all() function were declared with a
void return type whilst others as int. The schannel version returned
CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN and others simply returned zero, but in all cases the
return code was ignored by the calling function Curl_ssl_close_all().
For the time being and to keep the internal API consistent, changed all
declarations to use a void return type.
To reduce code we might want to consider removing the unimplemented
versions and use a void #define like schannel does.
