After a research team wrote a document[1] that found several live source
codes out there in the wild that misused the CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST
option thinking it was a boolean, this change now bans 1 as a value and
will make libcurl return error for it.
1 was never a sensible value to use in production but was introduced
back in the days to help debugging. It was always documented clearly
this way.
1 was never supported by all SSL backends in libcurl, so this cleanup
makes the treatment of it unified.
The report's list of mistakes for this option were all PHP code and
while there's a binding layer between libcurl and PHP, the PHP team has
decided that they have an as thin layer as possible on top of libcurl so
they will not alter or specifically filter a 'TRUE' value for this
particular option. I sympathize with that position.

With advice from Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos, changed the priority string to
add "actual priorities" and favour ARCFOUR. This makes libcurl work
better when enforcing SSLv3 with GnuTLS. Both in the sense that the
libmicrohttpd test is now working again but also that it mitigates a
weakness in the older SSL/TLS protocols.

Bugfix: https handshake fails using gnutls 3 on windows
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3441084&group_id=976&atid=100976
New gnutls versions have an error handler that knows about Winsock
errors, which is why gnutls_transport_set_global_errno() was deprecated
and then removed.
This is a correction of commit f5bb370 (blame me) which meant to
reimplement gnutls_transport_set_global_errno(), which is not necessary.
Use gnutls_priority_set_direct() instead of gnutls_protocol_set_priority().
Remove the gnutls_certificate_type_set_priority() use since x509 is the
default certificate type anyway.
Reported by: Vincent Torri
The default lowat level for gnutls-2.12* is set to zero to avoid
unnecessary system calls and the gnutls_transport_set_lowat function has
been totally removed in >=gnutls-3 which causes build failures.
Therefore, the function shouldn't be used except for versions that
require it, <gnutls-2.12.0.
On second thought, I think CURLE_TLSAUTH_FAILED should be eliminated. It
was only being raised when an internal error occurred while allocating
or setting the GnuTLS SRP client credentials struct. For TLS
authentication failures, the general CURLE_SSL_CONNECT_ERROR seems
appropriate; its error string already includes "passwords" as a possible
cause. Having a separate TLS auth error code might also cause people to
think that a TLS auth failure means the wrong username or password was
entered, when it could also be a sign of a man-in-the-middle attack.
Instead of polluting many places with #ifdefs, we create a single place
for this function, and also check return code properly so that a NULL
pointer returned won't cause problems.
On Windows, translate WSAGetLastError() to errno values as GNU
TLS does it internally, too. This is necessary because send() and
recv() on Windows don't set errno when they fail but GNU TLS
expects a proper errno value.

When no timeout is set, we call the socket_ready function with a timeout
value of 0 during handshake, which makes it loop too much/fast in this
function. It also made this function return CURLE_OPERATION_TIMEDOUT
wrongly on a slow handshake.
However, the particular bug report that highlighted this problem is not
solved by this fix, as this fix only makes the more proper error get
reported instead.

FTP(S) use two connections that can be set to different recv and
send functions independently, so by introducing recv+send pairs
in the same manner we already have sockets/connections we can
work with FTPS fine.
This commit fixes the FTPS regression introduced in change d64bd82.
Howard Chu brought the bulk work of this patch that properly
moves out the sending and recving of data to the parts of the
code that are properly responsible for the various ways of doing
so.
Daniel Stenberg assisted with polishing a few bits and fixed some
minor flaws in the original patch.
Another upside of this patch is that we now abuse CURLcodes less
with the "magic" -1 return codes and instead use CURLE_AGAIN more
consistently.
The recent overhaul of the SSL recv function made this treat a
zero returned from gnutls_record_recv() as an error, and this
caused our HTTPS test cases to fail. We leave it to upper layer
code to detect if an EOF is a problem or not.
should introduce an option to disable SNI, but as we're in feature freeze
now I've addressed the obvious bug here (pointed out by Peter Sylvester): we
shouldn't try to enable SNI when SSLv2 or SSLv3 is explicitly selected.
Code for OpenSSL and GnuTLS was fixed. NSS doesn't seem to have a particular
option for SNI, or are we simply not using it?
in the gnutls code where we were checking for negative values for errors,
when the man pages state that GNUTLS_E_SUCCESS is returned on success and
other values indicate error conditions.
curl_global_init() function to properly maintain the performing functions
thread-safe. We've previously (28 April 2007) moved the init to a later time
just to avoid it to fail very early when libgcrypt dislikes the situation,
but that move was bad and the fix should rather be in libgcrypt or
elsewhere.
