CURLOPT_SOCKS_PROXY -> CURLOPT_PRE_PROXY
Added the corresponding --preroxy command line option. Sets a SOCKS
proxy to connect to _before_ connecting to a HTTP(S) proxy.
This was added as part of the SOCKS+HTTPS proxy merge but there's no
need to support this as we prefer to have the protocol specified as a
prefix instead.
Adds access to the effectively used protocol/scheme to both libcurl and
curl, both in string and numeric (CURLPROTO_*) form.
Note that the string form will be uppercase, as it is just the internal
string.
As these strings are declared internally as const, and all other strings
returned by curl_easy_getinfo() are de-facto const as well, string
handling in getinfo.c got const-ified.
Closes#1137
* 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.
Add the new option CURLOPT_KEEP_SENDING_ON_ERROR to control whether
sending the request body shall be completed when the server responds
early with an error status code.
This is suitable for manual NTLM authentication.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1031
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.
Bug: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/819
Reported-by: Michael Kaufmann
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.
