Introduce new notation for CURLOPT_INTERFACE / --interface:
ifhost!<interface>!<host>
Binding to an interface doesn't set the address, and an interface can
have multiple addresses.
When binding to an address (without interface), the kernel is free to
choose the route, and it can route through any device that can access
the target address, not necessarily the one with the chosen address.
Moreover, it is possible for different interfaces to have the same IP
address, on which case we need to provide a way to be more specific.
Factor out the parsing part of interface option, and add unit tests:
1663.
Closes#13719
- similar to openssl, use a shared 'credentials' instance
among TLS connections with a plain configuration.
- different to openssl, a connection with a client certificate
is not eligible to sharing.

Like when we list a series of options and then want to add "normal" text
again afterwards.
Without this, the indentation level wrongly continues even after the
final "##" header, making following text wrongly appear to belong to the
header above.
Adjusted several curldown files to use this.

Closes#13806
- Clear data->state.os_errno before transfer.
- Explain the change in behavior in the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc.
- Add to the CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO doc the list of libcurl network-related
errors that may cause the errno to be saved.
data->state.os_errno is saved before libcurl returns a network-related
failure such as connection failure. It is accessible to the user via
CURLINFO_OS_ERRNO so they can get more information about the failure.
Prior to this change it wasn't cleared before transfer, so if a user
retrieved the saved errno it could be from a previous transfer. That is
because an errno is not always saved for network-related errors.

CURLOPT_EGDSOCKET and CURLOPT_RANDOM_FILE are both completely dead
so remove their example sections since the code there is useless.
There is still a way to inject a random file for OpenSSL older than
1.1.0 but it's not what the example showed (and it's not even done
with this option) so we refrain from documenting it here.

Use a lookup list to set the cipher suites, allowing the
ciphers to be set by either openssl or IANA names.
To keep the binary size of the lookup list down we compress
each entry in the cipher list down to 2 + 6 bytes using the
C preprocessor.

The rustls backend advertises SSLSUPP_TLS13_CIPHERSUITES, but

The bounds of the size parameter were not specified, and nor was it
specified how to disable the maximum file size check.
The documentation also incorrectly stated that CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE
always returns CURLE_OK and that CURLOPT_MAXFILESIZE_LARGE only returns
CURLE_OK or CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION.
It also did not mention what the default value is, which is zero. This
commit updates the documentation to make note of all these things.
Closes#13372
It's important to set `CURLOPT_NOPROGRESS` to `0` if you want your

Rename custom target to namespaced (unique) names to avoid colliding

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as

Closes#13175
All man pages that are listed to be for TLS now must also specify
exactly what TLS backends the option works for, or use All if they all
work.
cd2nroff makes sure this is done and that the listed backends exist.
Closes#13168
- CURLINFO_TLS_SESSION.md: remove mention of NSS
- CURLINFO_TLS_SSL_PTR.md: remove NSS leftover
- CURLOPT_CAINFO.md: drop mention of backends not supporting this
- CURLOPT_CAPATH.md: wolfSSL also supports this
Closes#13166
The mandatory header now has a mandatory list of protocols for which the
manpage is relevant.
Most man pages already has a "PROTOCOLS" section, but this introduces a
stricter way to specify the relevant protocols.
cd2nroff verifies that at least one protocol is mentioned (which can be
`*`).
This information is not used just yet, but A) the PROTOCOLS section can
now instead get generated and get a unified wording across all manpages
and B) this allows us to more reliably filter/search for protocol
specific manpages/options.

curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.
CI:
Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...

Remove the CURL_CA_FALLBACK logic. That build option was added to allow

GnuTLS it was instead made to load the "system certs", which is
different and not desirable.

- Warn that the user's debug callback may be called with the handle

This is a follow-up to f8cee8cc which changed DoH handles to inherit
the debug callback function set in the user's easy handle. As a result
those handles are now passed to the user's debug callback function.

We remove support for building curl with gskit.
- 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"
This removal has been advertized in DEPRECATED in Jan 2, 2023 and it has
been mentioned on the curl-library mailing list.
It could be brought back, this is not a ban. Given proper effort and
will, gskit support is welcome back into the curl TLS backend family.
Closes#11460
It was previously unlimited by default, but that's not a sensible
default. While changing this has a remote risk of breaking an existing
use case, I figure it is more likely to actually save users from loops.
Closes#11581
- If the user set a legacy algorithm list (CURLOPT_SSL_CIPHER_LIST) then
use the SCHANNEL_CRED legacy structure to pass the list to Schannel.
- If the user set both a legacy algorithm list and a TLS 1.3 cipher list
then abort.
Although MS doesn't document it, Schannel will not negotiate TLS 1.3
when SCHANNEL_CRED is used. That means setting a legacy algorithm list
limits the user to earlier versions of TLS.
Prior to this change, since 8beff435 (precedes 7.85.0), libcurl would
ignore legacy algorithms in Windows 10 1809 and later.
