Closes#10205
Ref: #10163
- This is a niche TLS library, only running on some IBM systems
- no regular curl contributors use this backend
- no CI builds use or verify this backend
- gskit, or the curl adaption for it, lacks many modern TLS features
making it an inferior solution
- build breakages in this code take weeks or more to get detected
- fixing gskit code is mostly done "flying blind"
Closes#10201
- it does not add a lot of value
- we do not test-build it to verify because of its dependencies
- unclear for what GTK versions it works or not

Closes#10084
- CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
This option was changed in libcurl 7.57.0 and clearly it has not caused
too many issues and a lot of time has passed.
- Store TLS context per transfer instead of per connection
This is a possible future optimization. One that is much less important
and interesting since the added support for CA caching.
- Microsoft telnet server
This bug was filed in May 2007 against curl 7.16.1 and we have not
received further reports.
- active FTP over a SOCKS
Actually, proxies in general is not working with active FTP mode. This
is now added in proxy documentation.
- DICT responses show the underlying protocol
curl still does this, but since this is now an established behavior
since forever we cannot change it easily and adding an option for it
seems crazy as this protocol is not so little its not worth it. Let's
just live with it.
- Secure Transport disabling hostname validation also disables SNI
This is an already documented restriction in Secure Transport.
- CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION not called with CURLFORM_STREAM
The curl_formadd() function is marked and documented as deprecated. No
point in collecting bugs for it. It should not be used further.
- STARTTRANSFER time is wrong for HTTP POSTs
After close source code inspection I cannot see how this is true or that
there is any special treatment for different HTTP methods. We also have
not received many further reports on this, making me strongly suspect
that this is no (longer an) issue.
- multipart formposts file name encoding
The once proposed RFC 5987-encoding is since RFC 7578 documented as MUST
NOT be used. The since then implemented MIME API allows the user to set
the name on their own and can thus provide it encoded as it wants.
- DoH is not used for all name resolves when enabled
It is questionable if users actually want to use DoH for interface and
FTP port name resolving. This restriction is now documented and we
advice users against using name resolving at all for these functions.

Since years back the "if2ip" function verifies that it binds to a local IPv6
address that uses the same scope as the remote address.
This is not a bug.
Fixes#686Closes#9998
Deprecation and removal of codeset conversion support from the library
have released the strict need for an early binding of mime structures to
an easy handle (https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/2610142).
This constraint currently forces to create the handle before the mime
structure and the latter cannot be attached to another handle once
created (see https://curl.se/mail/lib-2022-08/0027.html).
This commit removes the handle pointers from the mime structures
allowing more flexibility on their use.
When an easy handle is duplicated, bound mime structures must however
still be duplicated too as their components hold send-time dynamic
information.
Closes#9927
- "FTP with CONNECT and slow server"
I believe this is not a problem these days.
- "FTP with NULs in URL parts"
The FTP protocol does not support them properly anyway.
- remove "FTP and empty path parts in the URL"
I don't think this has ever been reported as a real problem but was only
a hypothetical one.
- "Premature transfer end but healthy control channel"
This is not a bug, this is an optimization that *could* be performed but is
not an actual problem.
- "FTP without or slow 220 response"
Instead add to the documentation of the connect timeout that the
connection is considered complete at TCP/TLS/QUIC layer.
Closes#9979
`Curl_output_aws_sigv4()` doesn't always have the whole payload in
memory to generate a real payload hash. this commit allows the user to
pass in a header like `x-amz-content-sha256` to provide their desired
payload hash
some services like s3 require this header, and may support other values
like s3's `UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD` and `STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD`
with special semantics. servers use this header's value as the payload
hash during signature validation, so it must match what the client uses
to generate the signature
CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4.3 now describes the content-sha256 interaction

Makes curl always use dot as decimal separator for options,

Prior to this change if curl_multi_perform returned 0 running handles
and then all remaining transfers were added, then the perform loop would
end immediately without performing those transfers.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9954
Update bare GNU Make `Makefile.m32` to:
- Move objects into a subdirectory.
- Add support for MS-DOS. Tested with DJGPP.
- Add support for Watt-32 (on MS-DOS).
- Add support for AmigaOS.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk`
- Replace `ARCH` with `TRIPLET`.
- Build `tool_hugehelp.c` proper (when tools are available).
- Drop MS-DOS compatibility macro `USE_ZLIB` (replaced by `HAVE_LIBZ`)
- Add support for `ZLIB_LIBS` to override `-lz`.
- Omit object files when building examples.
- Default `CC` to `gcc` once again, for convenience. (Caveat: compiler
name `cc` cannot be set now.)
- Set `-DCURL_NO_OLDIES` for examples, like autotools does.
- Delete `makefile.dj` files. Notice the configuration details and
defaults are not retained with the new method.
- Delete `makefile.amiga` files. A successful build needs a few custom
options. We're also not retaining all build details from the existing
Amiga make files.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk` to reflect that they are not
Windows/MinGW32-specific anymore.
- Add support for new `CFG` options: `-map`, `-debug`, `-trackmem`
- Set `-DNDEBUG` by default.
- Allow using `-DOS=...` in all `lib/config-*.h` headers, syncing this
with `config-win32.h`.
- Look for zlib parts in `ZLIB_PATH/include` and `ZLIB_PATH/lib`
instead of bare `ZLIB_PATH`.
Note that existing build configurations for MS-DOS and AmigaOS likely
become incompatible with this change.
Example AmigaOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/amiga/bin/m68k-amigaos-
export CC=gcc
export CPPFLAGS='-DHAVE_PROTO_BSDSOCKET_H'
export CFLAGS='-mcrt=clib2'
export LDFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
export LIBS='-lnet -lm'
make -C lib -f Makefile.mk
make -C src -f Makefile.mk
```
Example MS-DOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/djgpp/bin/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp-
export WATT_PATH=/opt/djgpp/net/watt
export ZLIB_PATH=/opt/djgpp
export OPENSSL_PATH=/opt/djgpp
export OPENSSL_LIBS='-lssl -lcrypt'
export CFG=-zlib-ssl
make -C lib -f Makefile.mk
make -C src -f Makefile.mk
```
