We currently use both spellings the british "behaviour" and the american
"behavior". However "behavior" is more used in the project so I think
it's worth dropping the british name.

It is a security process for HTTP.
It doesn't seems to be standard, but it is used by some cloud providers.

most of the code is in lib/http_v4_signature.c
Information require by the algorithm:
- The URL
- Current time
- some prefix that are append to some of the signature parameters.
The data extracted from the URL are: the URI, the region,
the host and the API type
example:
https://api.eu-west-2.outscale.com/api/latest/ReadNets
~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^ ^ ^
/ \ URI
API type region
Small description of the algorithm:
- make canonical header using content type, the host, and the date
- hash the post data
- make canonical_request using custom request, the URI,
the get data, the canonical header, the signed header
and post data hash
- hash canonical_request
- make str_to_sign using one of the prefix pass in parameter,
the date, the credential scope and the canonical_request hash
- compute hmac from date, using secret key as key.
- compute hmac from region, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from api_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from request_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from str_to_sign using above hmac as key
- create Authorization header using above hmac, prefix pass in parameter,
the date, and above hash

what easy options that exist and what arguments they expect.

Closes#5365
Failures clearly returned from a (SOCKS) proxy now causes this return
code. Previously the situation was not very clear as what would be
returned and when.
In addition: when this error code is returned, an application can use
CURLINFO_PROXY_ERROR to query libcurl for the detailed error, which then
returns a value from the new 'CURLproxycode' enum.

Updated terminology in docs, comments and phrases to refer to C strings
as "null-terminated". Done to unify with how most other C oriented docs
refer of them and what users in general seem to prefer (based on a

This change introduces a generic way to provide binary data in setopt
options, called BLOBs.
This change introduces these new setopts:
CURLOPT_ISSUERCERT_BLOB, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLCERT_BLOB,
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY_BLOB, CURLOPT_SSLCERT_BLOB and CURLOPT_SSLKEY_BLOB.

- Stick to a single unified way to use structs
- Make checksrc complain on 'typedef struct {'

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.
