Dan McNulty 8996300211 schannel: add support for CURLOPT_CAINFO
- Move verify_certificate functionality in schannel.c into a new
  file called schannel_verify.c. Additionally, some structure defintions
  from schannel.c have been moved to schannel.h to allow them to be
  used in schannel_verify.c.

- Make verify_certificate functionality for Schannel available on
  all versions of Windows instead of just Windows CE. verify_certificate
  will be invoked on Windows CE or when the user specifies
  CURLOPT_CAINFO and CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER.

- In verify_certificate, create a custom certificate chain engine that
  exclusively trusts the certificate store backed by the CURLOPT_CAINFO
  file.

- doc updates of --cacert/CAINFO support for schannel

- Use CERT_NAME_SEARCH_ALL_NAMES_FLAG when invoking CertGetNameString
  when available. This implements a TODO in schannel.c to improve
  handling of multiple SANs in a certificate. In particular, all SANs
  will now be searched instead of just the first name.

- Update tool_operate.c to not search for the curl-ca-bundle.crt file
  when using Schannel to maintain backward compatibility. Previously,
  any curl-ca-bundle.crt file found in that search would have been
  ignored by Schannel. But, with CAINFO support, the file found by
  that search would have been used as the certificate store and
  could cause issues for any users that have curl-ca-bundle.crt in
  the search path.

- Update url.c to not set the build time CURL_CA_BUNDLE if the selected
  SSL backend is Schannel. We allow setting CA location for schannel
  only when explicitly specified by the user via CURLOPT_CAINFO /
  --cacert.

- Add new test cases 3000 and 3001. These test cases check that the first
  and last SAN, respectively, matches the connection hostname. New test
  certificates have been added for these cases. For 3000, the certificate
  prefix is Server-localhost-firstSAN and for 3001, the certificate
  prefix is Server-localhost-secondSAN.

- Remove TODO 15.2 (Add support for custom server certificate
  validation), this commit addresses it.

.TH CURLOPT_CAINFO 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_CAINFO \- path to Certificate Authority (CA) bundle
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_CAINFO, char *path);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * to a zero terminated string naming a file holding one or more
certificates to verify the peer with.
If \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP is zero and you avoid verifying the
server's certificate, \fICURLOPT_CAINFO(3)\fP need not even indicate an
accessible file.
This option is by default set to the system path where libcurl's cacert bundle
is assumed to be stored, as established at build time.
If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module
(libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.
Starting with curl-7.55.0, if both \fICURLOPT_CAINFO(3)\fP and
\fICURLOPT_CAPATH(3)\fP are unset, NSS-linked libcurl tries to load
libnssckbi.so, which contains a more comprehensive set of trust information
than supported by nss-pem, because libnssckbi.so also includes information
about distrusted certificates.
(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl will use the
certificates in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the
preferred method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
(Schannel/WinSSL only) This option is supported for WinSSL in Windows 7 or
later with libcurl 7.60 or later. This option is supported for backward
compatibility with other SSL engines; instead it is recommended to use Windows'
store of root certificates (the default for WinSSL).
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
Built-in system specific
.SH PROTOCOLS
All TLS based protocols: HTTPS, FTPS, IMAPS, POP3S, SMTPS etc.
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CAINFO, "/etc/certs/cabundle.pem");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
For SSL engines that don't support certificate files the CURLOPT_CAINFO option
is ignored. Refer to https://curl.haxx.se/docs/ssl-compared.html
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or
CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
