* 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.
- Fix connection reuse for when the proposed new conn 'needle' has a

Visual C++ now complains about implicitly casting time_t (64-bit) to
long (32-bit). Fix this by changing some variables from long to time_t,
or explicitly casting to long where the public interface would be
affected.
Closes#1131
Previously, the [host] part was just ignored which made libcurl accept
strange URLs misleading users. like "file://etc/passwd" which might've
looked like it refers to "/etc/passwd" but is just "/passwd" since the
"etc" is an ignored host name.

- Call Curl_initinfo on init and duphandle.
Prior to this change the statistical and informational variables were
simply zeroed by calloc on easy init and duphandle. While zero is the
correct default value for almost all info variables, there is one where
it isn't (filetime initializes to -1).

... to make it less likely that we forget that the function actually
does case insentive compares. Also replaced several invokes of the
function with a plain strcmp when case sensitivity is not an issue (like
comparing with "-").
Curl_select_ready() was the former API that was replaced with
Curl_select_check() a while back and the former arg setup was provided
with a define (in order to leave existing code unmodified).
Now we instead offer SOCKET_READABLE and SOCKET_WRITABLE for the most
common shortcuts where only one socket is checked. They're also more
visibly macros.
- Change back behavior so that pipelining is considered possible for
connections that have not yet reached the protocol level.
This is a follow-up to e5f0b1a which had changed the behavior of
checking if pipelining is possible to ignore connections that had
'bits.close' set. Connections that have not yet reached the protocol
level also have that bit set, and we need to consider pipelining
possible on those connections.
No longer attempt to use "doomed" to-be-closed connections when
pipelining. Prior to this change connections marked for deletion (e.g.
timeout) would be erroneously used, resulting in sporadic crashes.
As originally reported and fixed by Carlo Wood (origin unknown).

Add the new option CURLOPT_KEEP_SENDING_ON_ERROR to control whether
sending the request body shall be completed when the server responds
early with an error status code.
This is suitable for manual NTLM authentication.

With HTTP/2 each transfer is made in an indivial logical stream over the
connection, making most previous errors that caused the connection to get
forced-closed now instead just kill the stream and not the connection.
Fixes#941
I discovered some people have been using "https://example.com" style
strings as proxy and it "works" (curl doesn't complain) because curl
ignores unknown schemes and then assumes plain HTTP instead.
I think this misleads users into believing curl uses HTTPS to proxies
when it doesn't. Now curl rejects proxy strings using unsupported
schemes instead of just ignoring and defaulting to HTTP.
After a few wasted hours hunting down the reason for slowness during a
TLS handshake that turned out to be because of TCP_NODELAY not being
set, I think we have enough motivation to toggle the default for this
option. We now enable TCP_NODELAY by default and allow applications to
switch it off.
This also makes --tcp-nodelay unnecessary, but --no-tcp-nodelay can be
used to disable it.

Previously, passing a timeout of zero to Curl_expire() was a magic code
for clearing all timeouts for the handle. That is now instead made with
the new Curl_expire_clear() function and thus a 0 timeout is fine to set
and will trigger a timeout ASAP.
This will help removing short delays, in particular notable when doing
HTTP/2.
Mostly in order to support broken web sites that redirect to broken URLs
that are accepted by browsers.
Browsers are typically even more leniant than this as the WHATWG URL
spec they should allow an _infinite_ amount. I tested 8000 slashes with
Firefox and it just worked.
Added test case 1141, 1142 and 1143 to verify the new parser.
Closes#791
The proper FTP wildcard init is now more properly done in Curl_pretransfer()
and the corresponding cleanup in Curl_close().
The previous place of init/cleanup code made the internal pointer to be NULL
when this feature was used with the multi_socket() API, as it was made within
the curl_multi_perform() function.

Only protocols that actually have a protocol registered for ALPN and NPN
should try to get that negotiated in the TLS handshake. That is only
HTTPS (well, http/1.1 and http/2) right now. Previously ALPN and NPN
would wrongly be used in all handshakes if libcurl was built with it
enabled.

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
WinSock destroys recv() buffer if send() is failed. As result - server
response may be lost if server sent it while curl is still sending
request. This behavior noticeable on HTTP server short replies if
libcurl use several send() for request (usually for POST request).
To workaround this problem, libcurl use recv() before every send() and
keeps received data in intermediate buffer for further processing.

As these two options provide identical functionality, the former for
SOCK5 proxies and the latter for HTTP proxies, merged the two options
together.
As such CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE is marked as deprecated as of
7.49.0.
Calculate the service name and proxy service names locally, rather than
in url.c which will allow for us to support overriding the service name
for other protocols such as FTP, IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
Renamed the header and source files for this module as they are HTTP
specific and as such, they should use the naming convention as other
HTTP authentication source files do - this revert commit 260ee6b7bf.
Note: We could also rename curl_ntlm_wb.[c|h], however, the Winbind
code needs separating from the HTTP protocol and migrating into the
vauth directory, thus adding support for Winbind to the SASL based
protocols such as IMAP, POP3 and SMTP.
