* 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.
Visual C++ now complains about implicitly casting time_t (64-bit) to
long (32-bit). Fix this by changing some variables from long to time_t,
or explicitly casting to long where the public interface would be
affected.

... to make it less likely that we forget that the function actually
does case insentive compares. Also replaced several invokes of the
function with a plain strcmp when case sensitivity is not an issue (like
comparing with "-").
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.
... like when a HTTP/0.9 response comes back without any headers at all
and just a body this now prevents that body from being sent to the
callback etc.
Adapted test 1144 to verify.

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
Mark's new document about HTTP Retries
(https://mnot.github.io/I-D/httpbis-retry/) made me check our code and I
spotted that we don't retry failed HEAD requests which seems totally
inconsistent and I can't see any reason for that separate treatment.
So, no separate treatment for HEAD starting now. A HTTP request sent
over a reused connection that gets cut off before a single byte is
received will be retried on a fresh connection.

Regression added in 790d6de485. The was then added to avoid one
particular transfer to starve out others. But when aborting due to
reading the maxcount, the connection must be marked to be read from
again without first doing a select as for some protocols (like SFTP/SCP)
the data may already have been read off the socket.

Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2016-07/0057.html
The proper FTP wildcard init is now more properly done in Curl_pretransfer()
and the corresponding cleanup in Curl_close().
The previous place of init/cleanup code made the internal pointer to be NULL
when this feature was used with the multi_socket() API, as it was made within
the curl_multi_perform() function.

Fixes#800
curl_printf.h defines printf to curl_mprintf, etc. This can cause
problems with external headers which may use
__attribute__((format(printf, ...))) markers etc.
To avoid that they cause problems with system includes, we include
curl_printf.h after any system headers. That makes the three last
headers to always be, and we keep them in this order:
curl_printf.h
curl_memory.h
memdebug.h
None of them include system headers, they all do funny #defines.

Fixes#743
When an upload is done, there are two places where that can be detected
and only one of them would rewind the input stream - which sometimes is
necessary for example when doing NTLM HTTP POSTs and more.
This could then end up libcurl hanging.

Fixes#741
Previously, when HTTP/2 is enabled and used, and stream has content
length known, Curl_read was not called when there was no bytes left to
read. Because of this, we could not make sure that
http2_handle_stream_close was called for every stream. Since we use
http2_handle_stream_close to emit trailer fields, they were
effectively ignored. This commit changes the code so that Curl_read is
called even if no bytes left to read, to ensure that
http2_handle_stream_close is called for every stream.
Discussed in https://github.com/bagder/curl/pull/564
Apparently there are sites out there that do redirects to URLs they
provide in plain UTF-8 or similar. Browsers and wget %-encode such
headers when doing a subsequent request. Now libcurl does too.
Added test 1138 to verify.

... and assign it from the set.fread_func_set pointer in the
Curl_init_CONNECT function. This A) avoids that we have code that
assigns fields in the 'set' struct (which we always knew was bad) and
more importantly B) it makes it impossibly to accidentally leave the
wrong value for when the handle is re-used etc.
Introducing a state-init functionality in multi.c, so that we can set a
specific function to get called when we enter a state. The
Curl_init_CONNECT is thus called when switching to the CONNECT state.
Bug: https://github.com/bagder/curl/issues/346Closes#346
Currently, libcurl rejects responses with "Content-Encoding: compress"
when CURLOPT_ACCEPT_ENCODING is set to "". I think that libcurl should
treat the Content-Encoding "compress" the same as other
Content-Encodings that it does not support, e.g. "bzip2". That means
just ignoring it.
With many easy handles using the same connection for multiplexing, it is
important we store and keep the transfer-oriented stuff in the
SessionHandle so that callbacks and callback data work fine even when
many easy handles share the same physical connection.
.. also make __func__ replacement in multi.
Prior to this change debug builds would fail to build if the compiler
was building pre-c99 and didn't support __func__.
The factor of 8 is a bytes-to-bits conversion factor, but pkt_size and
rate_bps are both in bytes. When using the rate limiting option, curl
waits 8 times too long, and then transfers very quickly until the
average rate reaches the limit. The average rate follows the limit over
time, but the actual traffic is bursty.

This header file must be included after all header files except
memdebug.h, as it does similar memory function redefinitions and can be
similarly affected by conflicting definitions in system or dependent
library headers.
If the scratch buffer already existed when the CRLF conversion was
performed then the buffer pointer would be checked twice for NULL. This
second check is only necessary if the call to malloc() was performed by
the first check.
Whilst I had moved the dot stuffing code from being performed before
CRLF conversion takes place to after it, in commit 4bd860a001, I had
moved it outside the 'when something read' block of code when meant
it could perform the dot stuffing twice on partial send if nread
happened to contain the right values. It also meant the function could
potentially read past the end of buffer. This was highlighted by the
following warning:
warning: `nread' might be used uninitialized in this function
The previous condition that checked if the socket was marked as readable
when also adding a writable one, was incorrect and didn't take the pause
bits properly into account.
Basically since servers often then don't respond well to this and
instead send the full contents and then libcurl would instead error out
with the assumption that the server doesn't support resume. As the data
is then already transfered, this is now considered fine.
Test case 1434 added to verify this. Test case 1042 slightly modified.

... for the local variable name in functions holding the return
code. Using the same name universally makes code easier to read and
follow.
Also, unify code for checking for CURLcode errors with:
if(result) or if(!result)
instead of
if(result == CURLE_OK), if(CURLE_OK == result) or if(result != CURLE_OK)
The method change is forbidden by the obsolete RFC2616, but libcurl did
it anyway for compatibility reasons. The new RFC7231 allows this
behaviour so there's no need for the scary "Violate RFC 2616/10.3.x"
notice. Also update the comments accordingly.
