This document is not maintained and rather than trying to refresh it,
let's kill it. A more up-to-date document with relevant RFCs is this
page on the curl website: https://curl.haxx.se/rfc/Closes#5980
Makes it easier to browse on github etc. Offers (better) links.
It should be noted that this document is already mostly outdated and
"Everything curl" at https://ec.haxx.se/ is a better resource and
tutorial.

A shared connection cache is not thread-safe is a known issue. Stop
testing this until we believe this issue is addressed. Reduces
occasional test failures we don't care about.
The test code in lib1541.c is left in git to allow us to restore it when
we get to fix this.
Closes#5922
IPv6, telnet and now also the multi API require WinSock
version 2 which is available starting with Windows 95.
Therefore we think it is time to drop support for version 1.

USE_TLS_SRP will be true if *any* selected TLS backend can use SRP
HAVE_OPENSSL_SRP is defined when OpenSSL can use it
HAVE_GNUTLS_SRP is defined when GnuTLS can use it
Clarify in the curl_verison_info docs that CURL_VERSION_TLSAUTH_SRP is
set if at least one of the supported backends offers SRP.

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.

We should offer an option to allow abrupt server closures (server closes
SSL transfer without sending a known termination point such as length of
transfer or close_notify alert). Abrupt server closures are usually
because of misconfigured or very old servers.

This commit changes the behavior of CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA so that it does
not override CURLOPT_CAINFO / CURLOPT_CAPATH, or the hardcoded default
locations. Instead the CA store can now be used at the same time.
The change is due to the impending release. The issue is still being
discussed. The behavior of CURLSSLOPT_NATIVE_CA is subject to change and
is now documented as experimental.

Closes#5546
If `index.html` does not exist in the directory from which the example
is invoked, the fopen(upload, "rb") invocation in `setup` would fail,
returning NULL. This value is subsequently passed as the FILE* argument
of the `fread` invocation in the `read_callback` function, which is the
actual cause of the crash (apparently `fread` assumes that argument to
be non-null).
In addition, mitigate some possible crashes of similar origin.
Closes#5463
