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.

- Copy CURLOPT_SSL_OPTIONS.3 description to CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS.3.
Prior to this change CURLSSLOPT_NO_PARTIALCHAIN was missing from the
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_OPTIONS description.

Fixes#4805Closes#4806
For compatibility with `fwrite`, the `CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION` callback
is passed two `size_t` parameters which, when multiplied, designate the
number of bytes of data passed in. In practice, CURL always sets the
first parameter (`size`) to 1.
This practice is also enshrined in documentation and cannot be changed
in future. The documentation states that the default callback is
`fwrite`, which means `fwrite` must be a suitable function for this
purpose. However, the documentation also states that the callback must
return the number of *bytes* it successfully handled, whereas ISO C
`fwrite` returns the number of items (each of size `size`) which it
wrote. The only way these numbers can be equal is if `size` is 1.
Since `size` is 1 and can never be changed in future anyway, document
that fact explicitly and let users rely on it.

Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4758
Prior to this change some users did not understand that the "request"
starts when the handle is added to the multi handle, or probably they
did not understand that some of those transfers may be queued and that
time is included in timeout.

Closes#4469
For a long time (since 7.28.1) we've returned error when setting the
value to 1 to make applications notice that we stopped supported the old
behavior for 1. Starting now, we treat 1 and 2 exactly the same.
Closes#4241
Even though it cannot fall-back to a lower HTTP version automatically. The
safer way to upgrade remains via CURLOPT_ALTSVC.
CURLOPT_H3 no longer has any bits that do anything and might be removed
before we remove the experimental label.
Updated the curl tool accordingly to use "--http3".
Closes#4197
This is only the libcurl part that provides the information. There's no
user of the parsed value. This change includes three new tests for the
parser.
Ref: #3794
Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation
identity (authzid), the identity to act as, in addition to the
authentication identity (authcid) and password when using SASL PLAIN
authentication.
Fixes#3653Closes#3790
NOTE: This commit was cherry-picked and is part of a series of commits
that added the authzid feature for upcoming 7.66.0. The series was
temporarily reverted in db8ec1f so that it would not ship in a 7.65.x
patch release.

Closes#3500
Since 7.54 --tlsv1. options use the specified version or later, however
older versions of curl documented it as using just the specified version
which may or may not have happened depending on the TLS library.
Document this discrepancy to allay confusion for users familiar with the
old documentation that expect just the specified version.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4119
Commit 25fd1057c9 made HTTP2 the default, and further down in the

contradicted it until now.
Also remove claim that setting the HTTP version is not sensible.
