- Disable auto credentials by default. This is a breaking change
for clients that are using it, wittingly or not.
- New libcurl ssl option value CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT tells libcurl
to automatically locate and use a client certificate for
authentication, when requested by the server.
- New curl tool options --ssl-auto-client-cert and
--proxy-ssl-auto-client-cert map to CURLSSLOPT_AUTO_CLIENT_CERT.
This option is only supported for Schannel (the native Windows SSL
library). Prior to this change Schannel would, with no notification to
the client, attempt to locate a client certificate and send it to the
server, when requested by the server. Since the server can request any
certificate that supports client authentication in the OS certificate
store it could be a privacy violation and unexpected.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/6673
Commit 76a9c3c4be renamed DarwinSSL to the
more correct/common name Secure Transport, but a few mentions in the docs
remained.

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
Reported by the new script 'scripts/copyright.pl'. The script has a
regex whitelist for the files that don't need copyright headers.
Removed three (mostly usesless) README files from docs/
Closes#5141
- 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.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4981
Stick to "Schannel" everywhere. The configure option --with-winssl is
kept to allow existing builds to work but --with-schannel is added as an
alias.
Closes#3504
New tool option --ssl-no-revoke.
New value CURLSSLOPT_NO_REVOKE for CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.
Currently this option applies only to WinSSL where we have automatic
certificate revocation checking by default. According to the
ssl-compared chart there are other backends that have automatic checking
(NSS, wolfSSL and DarwinSSL) so we could possibly accommodate them at
some later point.
