Alex Rousskov cb4e2be7c6 proxy: Support HTTPS proxy and SOCKS+HTTP(s)
* 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.

.TH CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST 3 "16 Nov 2016" "libcurl 7.51.1" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST \- verify the proxy certificate's name against host
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST, long verify);
.SH DESCRIPTION
TODO: Make this text specific to HTTPS proxy. (Added in 7.XXX)
Pass a long as parameter specifying what to \fIverify\fP.
This option determines whether libcurl verifies that the server cert is for
the server it is known as.
When negotiating TLS and SSL connections, the server sends a certificate
indicating its identity.
When \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP is 2, that certificate must indicate that
the server is the server to which you meant to connect, or the connection
fails. Simply put, it means it has to have the same name in the certificate as
is in the URL you operate against.
Curl considers the server the intended one when the Common Name field or a
Subject Alternate Name field in the certificate matches the host name in the
URL to which you told Curl to connect.
When the \fIverify\fP value is 1, \fIcurl_easy_setopt\fP will return an error
and the option value will not be changed. It was previously (in 7.28.0 and
earlier) a debug option of some sorts, but it is no longer supported due to
frequently leading to programmer mistakes. Future versions will stop returning
an error for 1 and just treat 1 and 2 the same.
When the \fIverify\fP value is 0, the connection succeeds regardless of the
names in the certificate. Use that ability with caution!
The default value for this option is 2.
This option controls checking the server's certificate's claimed identity.
The server could be lying. To control lying, see
\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP. If libcurl is built against NSS and
\fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER(3)\fP is zero, \fICURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST(3)\fP is
also set to zero and cannot be overridden.
.SH DEFAULT
2
.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");
/* Set the default value: strict name check please */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 2L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
If built TLS enabled.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if TLS is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
If 1 is set as argument, \fICURLE_BAD_FUNCTION_ARGUMENT\fP is returned.
