Replace use of fixed macro BUFSIZE to define the size of the receive
buffer. Reappropriate CURLOPT_BUFFERSIZE to include enlarging receive
buffer size. Upon setting, resize buffer if larger than the current
default size up to a MAX_BUFSIZE (512KB). This can benefit protocols
like SFTP.
Closes#1222
In addition to unix domain sockets, Linux also supports an
abstract namespace which is independent of the filesystem.
In order to support it, add new CURLOPT_ABSTRACT_UNIX_SOCKET
option which uses the same storage as CURLOPT_UNIX_SOCKET_PATH
internally, along with a flag to specify abstract socket.
On non-supporting platforms, the abstract address will be
interpreted as an empty string and fail gracefully.
Also add new --abstract-unix-socket tool parameter.

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.

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.

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-06/0143.html
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.

Because the old OpenSSL link now redirects to their master documentation
(currently 1.1.0), which does not document the required actions for
OpenSSL <= 1.0.2.
Previously, when a stream was closed with other than NGHTTP2_NO_ERROR
by RST_STREAM, underlying TCP connection was dropped. This is
undesirable since there may be other streams multiplexed and they are
very much fine. This change introduce new error code
CURLE_HTTP2_STREAM, which indicates stream error that only affects the
relevant stream, and connection should be kept open. The existing
CURLE_HTTP2 means connection error in general.

As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
