* 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.
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
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.
Since we just started make use of free(NULL) in order to simplify code,
this change takes it a step further and:
- converts lots of Curl_safefree() calls to good old free()
- makes Curl_safefree() not check the pointer before free()
The (new) rule of thumb is: if you really want a function call that
frees a pointer and then assigns it to NULL, then use Curl_safefree().
But we will prefer just using free() from now on.
The function "free" is documented in the way that no action shall occur for
a passed null pointer. It is therefore not needed that a function caller
repeats a corresponding check.

This issue was fixed by using the software Coccinelle 1.0.0-rc24.

As we get the length for the DN and attribute variables, and we know
the length for the line terminator, pass the length values rather than
zero as this will save Curl_client_write() from having to perform an
additional strlen() call.
Make all code use connclose() and connkeep() when changing the "close
state" for a connection. These two macros take a string argument with an
explanation, and debug builds of curl will include that in the debug
output. Helps tracking connection re-use/close issues.
This makes the findprotocol() function work as intended so that libcurl
can properly be restricted to not support HTTP while still supporting
HTTPS - since the HTTPS handler previously set both the HTTP and HTTPS
bits in the protocol field.
This fixes --proto and --proto-redir for most SSL protocols.
This is done by adding a few new convenience defines that groups HTTP
and HTTPS, FTP and FTPS etc that should then be used when the code wants
to check for both protocols at once. PROTO_FAMILY_[protocol] style.
