Speed limits (from CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE &
CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE) were applied simply by comparing limits
with the cumulative average speed of the entire transfer; While this
might work at times with good/constant connections, in other cases it
can result to the limits simply being "ignored" for more than "short
bursts" (as told in man page).
Consider a download that goes on much slower than the limit for some
time (because bandwidth is used elsewhere, server is slow, whatever the
reason), then once things get better, curl would simply ignore the limit
up until the average speed (since the beginning of the transfer) reached
the limit. This could prove the limit useless to effectively avoid
using the entire bandwidth (at least for quite some time).
So instead, we now use a "moving starting point" as reference, and every
time at least as much as the limit as been transferred, we can reset
this starting point to the current position. This gets a good limiting
effect that applies to the "current speed" with instant reactivity (in
case of sudden speed burst).
Closes#971
After a few wasted hours hunting down the reason for slowness during a
TLS handshake that turned out to be because of TCP_NODELAY not being
set, I think we have enough motivation to toggle the default for this
option. We now enable TCP_NODELAY by default and allow applications to
switch it off.
This also makes --tcp-nodelay unnecessary, but --no-tcp-nodelay can be
used to disable it.

When CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS is set to an empty string libcurl will send a
zero-byte POST. Prior to this change it was documented as sending data
from the read callback.
This also changes the wording of what happens when empty or NULL so that
it's hopefully easier to understand for people whose primary language
isn't English.

The connect-to list isn't copied so as long as the handle may be used
for a transfer the list must be valid.

As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options
together.
As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of
7.49.0.
The two options are almost the same, except in the case of OpenSSL:
CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION OpenSSL session internals is SSL_CTX *.
CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR OpenSSL session internals is SSL *.
For backwards compatibility we couldn't modify CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION to
return an SSL pointer for OpenSSL.
Also, add support for the 'internals' member to point to SSL object for
the other backends axTLS, PolarSSL, Secure Channel, Secure Transport and
wolfSSL.

- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/481
Some TFTP server implementations ignore the "TFTP Option extension"
(RFC 1782-1784, 2347-2349), or implement it in a flawed way, causing
problems with libcurl. Another switch for curl_easy_setopt
"CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS" is introduced which prevents libcurl from
sending TFTP option requests to a server, avoiding many problems caused
by faulty implementations.

The CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE option has been documented to handle
empty strings specially since curl-7_25_0-31-g05a443a but the behavior
was unintentionally removed in curl-7_38_0-47-gfa7d04f.
This commit restores the original behavior and clarifies it in the
documentation that NULL and "" have both the same meaning when passed
to CURLOPT_SSH_PUBLIC_KEYFILE.

... even for those that don't support providing anything in the
'internals' struct member since it offers a convenient way for
applications to figure this out.
If the port number in the proxy string ended weirdly or the number is
too large, skip it. Mostly as a means to bail out early if a "bare" IPv6
numerical address is used without enclosing brackets.
Also mention the bracket requirement for IPv6 numerical addresses to the
man page for CURLOPT_PROXY.

- Warn that cookies without a domain are sent to any domain:
CURLOPT_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, --cookie
- Note that imported Set-Cookie cookies without a domain are no longer
exported:
CURLINFO_COOKIELIST, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, --cookie-jar
- Add new option CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL to allow specifying a default
protocol for schemeless URLs.
- Add new tool option --proto-default to expose
CURLOPT_DEFAULT_PROTOCOL.
In the case of schemeless URLs libcurl will behave in this way:
When the option is used libcurl will use the supplied default.
When the option is not used, libcurl will follow its usual plan of
guessing from the hostname and falling back to 'http'.
- Clarify that FILE and SCP are disabled by default since 7.19.4
- Add that SMB and SMBS are disabled by default since 7.40.0
- Add CURLPROTO_SMBS to the list of protocols
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke.
New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.
Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic
certificate revocation checking by default. According to the
ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking
(NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at
some later point.

Icecast versions 1.3.0 through 1.3.12 would reply with "ICY 200"
under certain conditions:
client_wants_icy_headers (connection_t *con)
{
const char *val;
if (!con)
return 1;
val = get_user_agent (con);
if (!val || !val[0] || strcmp (val, "(null)") == 0)
return 1;
if (con->food.client->use_icy)
return 1;
if (strncasecmp (val, "winamp", 6) == 0)
return 1;
if (strncasecmp (val, "Shoutcast", 9) == 0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
So mainly if there is no 'user agent' or it is '(null)' or contains
'winamp' or 'Shoutcast'.
No mainstream distribution carries Icecast 1.3.x anymore, after all
it was released in 2002 and superseded by Icecast 2.x.
This option can be used to enable/disable certificate status verification using
the "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension defined in RFC6066 section 8.
This also adds the CURLE_SSL_INVALIDCERTSTATUS error, to be used when the
certificate status verification fails, and the Curl_ssl_cert_status_request()
function, used to check whether the SSL backend supports the status_request
extension.
Change CURLOPT_TIMEOUT doc to warn that if CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS are both set whichever one is set last is the one
that will be used.
Prior to this change that behavior was only noted in the
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS doc.
Add .nf and .fi such that the code gets wrapped in a pre on the web.
Fixed grammar, fixed formatting of the "See also" items.

The ability to do HTTP requests over a UNIX domain socket has been
requested before, in Apr 2008 [0][1] and Sep 2010 [2]. While a
discussion happened, no patch seems to get through. I decided to give it
a go since I need to test a nginx HTTP server which listens on a UNIX
domain socket.
One patch [3] seems to make it possible to use the
CURLOPT_OPENSOCKETFUNCTION function to gain a UNIX domain socket.
Another person wrote a Go program which can do HTTP over a UNIX socket
for Docker[4] which uses a special URL scheme (though the name contains
cURL, it has no relation to the cURL library).
This patch considers support for UNIX domain sockets at the same level
as HTTP proxies / IPv6, it acts as an intermediate socket provider and
not as a separate protocol. Since this feature affects network
operations, a new feature flag was added ("unix-sockets") with a
corresponding CURL_VERSION_UNIX_SOCKETS macro.
A new CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH option is added and documented. This
option enables UNIX domain sockets support for all requests on the
handle (replacing IP sockets and skipping proxies).
A new configure option (--enable-unix-sockets) and CMake option
(ENABLE_UNIX_SOCKETS) can disable this optional feature. Note that I
deliberately did not mark this feature as advanced, this is a
feature/component that should easily be available.
