RFC7512 provides a standard method to reference certificates in PKCS#11
tokens, by means of a URI starting 'pkcs11:'.
We're working on fixing various applications so that whenever they would
have been able to use certificates from a file, users can simply insert
a PKCS#11 URI instead and expect it to work. This expectation is now a
part of the Fedora packaging guidelines, for example.
This doesn't work with cURL because of the way that the colon is used
to separate the certificate argument from the passphrase. So instead of
curl -E 'pkcs11:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
I instead need to invoke cURL with the colon escaped, like this:
curl -E 'pkcs11\:manufacturer=piv_II;id=%01' …
This is suboptimal because we want *consistency* — the URI should be
usable in place of a filename anywhere, without having strange
differences for different applications.
This patch therefore disables the processing in parse_cert_parameter()
when the string starts with 'pkcs11:'. It means you can't pass a
passphrase with an unescaped PKCS#11 URI, but there's no need to do so
because RFC7512 allows a PIN to be given as a 'pin-value' attribute in
the URI itself.
Also, if users are already using RFC7512 URIs with the colon escaped as
in the above example — even providing a passphrase for cURL to handling
instead of using a pin-value attribute, that will continue to work
because their string will start 'pkcs11\:' and won't match the check.
What *does* break with this patch is the extremely unlikely case that a
user has a file which is in the local directory and literally named
just "pkcs11", and they have a passphrase on it. If that ever happened,
the user would need to refer to it as './pkcs11:<passphrase>' instead.
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.

... causing SIGSEGV while parsing URL with too many globs.
Minimal example:

- Move the existing scheme check from tool_operate.
In the case of --remote-header-name we want to parse Content-disposition
for a filename, but only if the scheme is http or https. A recent
adjustment 0dc4d8e was made to account for schemeless URLs however it's
not 100% accurate. To remedy that I've moved the scheme check to the
header callback, since at that point the library has already determined
the scheme.

It does open up a miniscule risk that one of the other protocols that
libcurl could use would send back a Content-Disposition header and then
curl would act on it even if not HTTP.
A future mitigation for this risk would be to allow the callback to ask
libcurl which protocol is being used.

Closes#760
In commit 2e42b0a252 (Jan 2008) we made the option "--socks" deprecated
and it has not been documented since. The more explicit socks options
(like --socks4 or --socks5) should be used.
The underlying libcurl option used for this feature is
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS which has the ability to retry the dir
creation, but it was never set to do that by the command line tool.
Now it does.

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.
Supports HTTP/2 over clear TCP
- Optimize switching to HTTP/2 by removing calls to init and setup
before switching. Switching will eventually call setup and setup calls
init.
- Supports new version to “force” the use of HTTP/2 over clean TCP
- Add common line parameter “--http2-prior-knowledge” to the Curl
command line tool.
In makefile.m32, option -ssh2 (libssh2) automatically implied -ssl
(OpenSSL) option, with no way to override it with -winssl. Since both
libssh2 and curl support using Windows's built-in SSL backend, modify
the logic to allow that combination.
- Add tests.
- Add an example to CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.3.
- Add --tftp-no-options to expose CURLOPT_TFTP_NO_OPTIONS.
