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.

Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2787
Fixes https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/4758
The comment was confusing and suggested that setting CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS
to 0L would both enable and disable debug output at the same time, like
a Schrödinger's cat of CURLOPTs.
Closes#4745
This commit adds curl_multi_wakeup() which was previously in the TODO
list under the curl_multi_unblock name.
On some platforms and with some configurations this feature might not be
available or can fail, in these cases a new error code
(CURLM_WAKEUP_FAILURE) is returned from curl_multi_wakeup().
Fixes#4418Closes#4608
Starting with this change when doing parallel transfers, without this
option set, curl will prefer to create new transfers multiplexed on an
existing connection rather than creating a brand new one.
--parallel-immediate can be set to tell curl to prefer to use new
connections rather than to wait and try to multiplex.
libcurl-wise, this means that curl will set CURLOPT_PIPEWAIT by default
on parallel transfers.

With the `isdigit` implementation that comes with MSYS2, the argument
is used as an array subscript, resulting in a -Wchar-subscripts
warning. `isdigit`'s behavior is undefined if the argument is negative
and not EOF [0]. As done in lib/curl_ctype.h, cast the `char` variable
to `unsigned char` to avoid that.

Prior to this change some users did not understand that the "request"

header in libcurl.

Added the ability for the calling program to specify the authorisation

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 https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/4186
Repeatedly we see problems where using curl_multi_wait() is difficult or
just awkward because if it has no file descriptor to wait for
internally, it returns immediately and leaves it to the caller to wait
for a small amount of time in order to avoid occasional busy-looping.
This is often missed or misunderstood, leading to underperforming
applications.
This change introduces curl_multi_poll() as a replacement drop-in
function that accepts the exact same set of arguments. This function
works identically to curl_multi_wait() - EXCEPT - for the case when
there's nothing to wait for internally, as then this function will by
itself wait for a "suitable" short time before it returns. This
effectiely avoids all risks of busy-looping and should also make it less
likely that apps "over-wait".
This also changes the curl tool to use this funtion internally when
doing parallel transfers and changes curl_easy_perform() to use it
internally.
Closes#4163

Since 7.54 --tlsv1. options use the specified version or later, however

will not contain any new features.
