It is a security process for HTTP.
It doesn't seems to be standard, but it is used by some cloud providers.

most of the code is in lib/http_v4_signature.c
Information require by the algorithm:
- The URL
- Current time
- some prefix that are append to some of the signature parameters.
The data extracted from the URL are: the URI, the region,
the host and the API type
example:
https://api.eu-west-2.outscale.com/api/latest/ReadNets
~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^ ^ ^
/ \ URI
API type region
Small description of the algorithm:
- make canonical header using content type, the host, and the date
- hash the post data
- make canonical_request using custom request, the URI,
the get data, the canonical header, the signed header
and post data hash
- hash canonical_request
- make str_to_sign using one of the prefix pass in parameter,
the date, the credential scope and the canonical_request hash
- compute hmac from date, using secret key as key.
- compute hmac from region, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from api_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from request_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from str_to_sign using above hmac as key
- create Authorization header using above hmac, prefix pass in parameter,
the date, and above hash

Closes#5365
Failures clearly returned from a (SOCKS) proxy now causes this return
code. Previously the situation was not very clear as what would be
returned and when.
In addition: when this error code is returned, an application can use
CURLINFO_PROXY_ERROR to query libcurl for the detailed error, which then
returns a value from the new 'CURLproxycode' enum.
Closes#5770

This change introduces a generic way to provide binary data in setopt
options, called BLOBs.
This change introduces these new setopts:
CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERT_BLOB,
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB and CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB.

Closes#5357
- Implement new option CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT and
--ssl-revoke-best-effort to allow a "best effort" revocation check.
A best effort revocation check ignores errors that the revocation check
was unable to take place. The reasoning is described in detail below and
discussed further in the PR.
---
When running e.g. with Fiddler, the schannel backend fails with an
unhelpful error message:
Unknown error (0x80092012) - The revocation function was unable
to check revocation for the certificate.
Sadly, many enterprise users who are stuck behind MITM proxies suffer
the very same problem.
This has been discussed in plenty of issues:
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/3727,
https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/264, for example.
In the latter, a Microsoft Edge developer even made the case that the
common behavior is to ignore issues when a certificate has no recorded
distribution point for revocation lists, or when the server is offline.
This is also known as "best effort" strategy and addresses the Fiddler
issue.
Unfortunately, this strategy was not chosen as the default for schannel
(and is therefore a backend-specific behavior: OpenSSL seems to happily
ignore the offline servers and missing distribution points).
To maintain backward-compatibility, we therefore add a new flag
(`CURLSSLOPT_REVOKE_BEST_EFFORT`) and a new option
(`--ssl-revoke-best-effort`) to select the new behavior.
Due to the many related issues Git for Windows and GitHub Desktop, the
plan is to make this behavior the default in these software packages.
The test 2070 was added to verify this behavior, adapted from 310.

- Add new error code CURLE_QUIC_CONNECT_ERROR for QUIC connection
errors.
Prior to this change CURLE_FAILED_INIT was used, but that was not
correct.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4754
This commit adds curl_multi_wakeup() which was previously in the TODO
list under the curl_multi_unblock name.
On some platforms and with some configurations this feature might not be
available or can fail, in these cases a new error code
(CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE) is returned from curl_multi_wakeup().
Fixes#4418Closes#4608
CURLU_NO_AUTHORITY is intended for use with unknown schemes (i.e. not
"file:///") to override cURL's default demand that an authority exists.
Closes#4349
RFC 7838 section 5:
When using an alternative service, clients SHOULD include an Alt-Used
header field in all requests.
Removed CURLALTSVC_ALTUSED again (feature is still EXPERIMENTAL thus
this is deemed ok).
You can disable sending this header just like you disable any other HTTP
header in libcurl.
Closes#4199
Even though it cannot fall-back to a lower HTTP version automatically. The
safer way to upgrade remains via CURLOPT_ALTSVC.
CURLOPT_H3 no longer has any bits that do anything and might be removed
before we remove the experimental label.
Updated the curl tool accordingly to use "--http3".
Closes#4197
This is only the libcurl part that provides the information. There's no
user of the parsed value. This change includes three new tests for the
parser.
Ref: #3794
Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation
identity (authzid), the identity to act as, in addition to the
authentication identity (authcid) and password when using SASL PLAIN
authentication.

NOTE: This commit was cherry-picked and is part of a series of commits
that added the authzid feature for upcoming 7.66.0. The series was
temporarily reverted in db8ec1f so that it would not ship in a 7.65.x
patch release.

- Revert all commits related to the SASL authzid feature since the next
release will be a patch release, 7.65.1.
Prior to this change CURLOPT_SASL_AUTHZID / --sasl-authzid was destined
for the next release, assuming it would be a feature release 7.66.0.
However instead the next release will be a patch release, 7.65.1 and
will not contain any new features.
After the patch release after the reverted commits can be restored by
