When building software for the masses, it is sometimes not possible to
decide for all users which SSL backend is appropriate.
Git for Windows, for example, uses cURL to perform clones, fetches and
pushes via HTTPS, and some users strongly prefer OpenSSL, while other
users really need to use Secure Channel because it offers
enterprise-ready tools to manage credentials via Windows' Credential
Store.
The current Git for Windows versions use the ugly work-around of
building libcurl once with OpenSSL support and once with Secure Channel
support, and switching out the binaries in the installer depending on
the user's choice.
Needless to say, this is a super ugly workaround that actually only
works in some cases: Git for Windows also comes in a portable form, and
in a form intended for third-party applications requiring Git
functionality, in which cases this "swap out libcurl-4.dll" simply is
not an option.
Therefore, the Git for Windows project has a vested interest in teaching
cURL to make the SSL backend a *runtime* option.
This patch makes that possible.
By running ./configure with multiple --with-<backend> options, cURL will
be built with multiple backends.
For the moment, the backend can be configured using the environment
variable CURL_SSL_BACKEND (valid values are e.g. "openssl" and
"schannel").

So far, all of the SSL backends' private data has been declared as
part of the ssl_connect_data struct, in one big #if .. #elif .. #endif
block.
This can only work as long as the SSL backend is a compile-time option,
something we want to change in the next commits.
Therefore, let's encapsulate the exact data needed by each SSL backend
into a private struct, and let's avoid bleeding any SSL backend-specific
information into urldata.h. This is also necessary to allow multiple SSL
backends to be compiled in at the same time, as e.g. OpenSSL's and
CyaSSL's headers cannot be included in the same .c file.
To avoid too many malloc() calls, we simply append the private structs
to the connectdata struct in allocate_conn().
This requires us to take extra care of alignment issues: struct fields
often need to be aligned on certain boundaries e.g. 32-bit values need to
be stored at addresses that divide evenly by 4 (= 32 bit / 8
bit-per-byte).
We do that by assuming that no SSL backend's private data contains any
fields that need to be aligned on boundaries larger than `long long`
(typically 64-bit) would need. Under this assumption, we simply add a
dummy field of type `long long` to the `struct connectdata` struct. This
field will never be accessed but acts as a placeholder for the four
instances of ssl_backend_data instead. the size of each ssl_backend_data
struct is stored in the SSL backend-specific metadata, to allow
allocate_conn() to know how much extra space to allocate, and how to
initialize the ssl[sockindex]->backend and proxy_ssl[sockindex]->backend
pointers.
This would appear to be a little complicated at first, but is really
necessary to encapsulate the private data of each SSL backend correctly.
And we need to encapsulate thusly if we ever want to allow selecting
CyaSSL and OpenSSL at runtime, as their headers cannot be included within
the same .c file (there are just too many conflicting definitions and
declarations for that).

At the moment, cURL's SSL backend needs to be configured at build time.
As such, it is totally okay for them to hard-code their backend-specific
data in the ssl_connect_data struct.
In preparation for making the SSL backend a runtime option, let's make
the access of said private data a bit more abstract so that it can be
adjusted later in an easy manner.

In the ongoing endeavor to abstract out all SSL backend-specific
functionality, this is the next step: Instead of hard-coding how the
different SSL backends access their internal data in getinfo.c, let's
implement backend-specific functions to do that task.
This will also allow for switching SSL backends as a runtime option.

These functions are all available via the Curl_ssl struct now, no need
to declare them separately anymore.
As the global declarations are removed, the corresponding function
definitions are marked as file-local. The only two exceptions here are
Curl_mbedtls_shutdown() and Curl_polarssl_shutdown(): only the
declarations were removed, there are no function definitions to mark
file-local.
Please note that Curl_nss_force_init() is *still* declared globally, as
the only SSL backend-specific function, because it was introduced
specifically for the use case where cURL was compiled with
`--without-ssl --with-nss`. For details, see f3b77e561 (http_ntlm: add
support for NSS, 2010-06-27).

The entire idea of introducing the Curl_ssl struct to describe SSL

The SHA-256 checksumming is also an SSL backend-specific function.
Let's include it in the struct declaring the functionality of SSL
backends.
In contrast to MD5, there is no fall-back code. To indicate this, the
respective entries are NULL for those backends that offer no support for
SHA-256 checksumming.

The MD5 summing is also an SSL backend-specific function. So let's
include it, offering the previous fall-back code as a separate function
now: Curl_none_md5sum(). To allow for that, the signature had to be
changed so that an error could be returned from the implementation
(Curl_none_md5sum() can run out of memory).

- Change gnutls pointer/int macros to pointer/curl_socket_t.
Prior to this change they used long type as well.
The size of the `long` data type can be shorter than that of pointer
types. This is the case most notably on Windows.
If C99 were acceptable, we could simply use `intptr_t` here. But we
want to retain C89 compatibility.
Simply use the trick of performing pointer arithmetic with the NULL
pointer: to convert an integer `i` to a pointer, simply take the
address of the `i`th element of a hypothetical character array
starting at address NULL. To convert back, simply cast the pointer
difference.
Thanks to Jay Satiro for the initial modification to use curl_socket_t
instead of int/long.

* 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.

Curl_select_ready() was the former API that was replaced with
Curl_select_check() a while back and the former arg setup was provided
with a define (in order to leave existing code unmodified).
Now we instead offer SOCKET_READABLE and SOCKET_WRITABLE for the most
common shortcuts where only one socket is checked. They're also more
visibly macros.
Prior to this change we called Curl_ssl_getsessionid and
Curl_ssl_addsessionid regardless of whether session ID reusing was
enabled. According to comments that is in case session ID reuse was
disabled but then later enabled.
The old way was not intuitive and probably not something users expected.
When a user disables session ID caching I'd guess they don't expect the
session ID to be cached anyway in case the caching is later enabled.
Sessionid cache management is inseparable from managing individual
session lifetimes. E.g. for reference-counted sessions (like those in
SChannel and OpenSSL engines) every session addition and removal
should be accompanied with refcount increment and decrement
respectively. Failing to do so synchronously leads to a race condition
that causes symptoms like use-after-free and memory corruption.
This commit:
- makes existing session cache locking explicit, thus allowing
individual engines to manage lock's scope.
- fixes OpenSSL and SChannel engines by putting refcount management
inside this lock's scope in relevant places.
- adds these explicit locking calls to other engines that use
sessionid cache to accommodate for this change. Note, however,
that it is unknown whether any of these engines could also have
this race.

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.

The gnutls vtls back-end was previously ignoring any password set via
CURLOPT_KEYPASSWD. Presumably this was because
gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file did not support encrypted keys.
gnutls now has a gnutls_certificate_set_x509_key_file2 function that
does support encrypted keys. Let's determine at compile time whether the
available gnutls supports this new function. If it does then use it to
pass the password. If it does not then emit a helpful diagnostic if a
password is set. This is preferable to the previous behaviour of just
failing to read the certificate without giving a reason in that case.

- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_READTEXT instead of "r" or "rt"
- Change fopen calls to use FOPEN_WRITETEXT instead of "w" or "wt"
This change is to explicitly specify when we need to read/write text.
Unfortunately 't' is not part of POSIX fopen so we can't specify it
directly. Instead we now have FOPEN_READTEXT, FOPEN_WRITETEXT.
Prior to this change we had an issue on Windows if an application that
uses libcurl overrides the default file mode to binary. The default file
mode in Windows is normally text mode (translation mode) and that's what
libcurl expects.

along with the negotiated TLS version.

Also known as "status_request" or OCSP stapling, defined in RFC6066 section 8.
This requires GnuTLS 3.1.3 or higher to build, however it's recommended to use
at least GnuTLS 3.3.11 since previous versions had a bug that caused the OCSP
response verfication to fail even on valid responses.
The return type of this function is a boolean value, and even uses a
bool internally, so use bool in the function declaration as well as
the variables that store the return value, to avoid any confusion.
To force each backend implementation to really attempt to provide proper
random. If a proper random function is missing, then we can explicitly
make use of the default one we use when TLS support is missing.
This commit makes sure it works for darwinssl, gnutls, nss and openssl.
Before GnuTLS 3.3.6, the gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname() function
didn't actually check IP addresses in SubjectAltName, even though it was
explicitly documented as doing so. So do it ourselves...
The AES-GCM ciphers were added to GnuTLS as late as ver. 3.0.1 but
the code path in which they're referenced here is only ever used for
somewhat older GnuTLS versions. This caused undeclared identifier errors
when compiling against those.
This seems to have become necessary for SRP support to work starting
with GnuTLS ver. 2.99.0. Since support for SRP was added to GnuTLS
before the function that takes this priority string, there should be no
issue with backward compatibility.
Make GnuTLS old and new consistent, specify the desired protocol, cipher
and certificate type in always in both modes. Disable insecure ciphers
as reported by howsmyssl.com. Honor not only --sslv3, but also the
--tlsv1[.N] switches.
