Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/11665
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.

I was reading curl_unescape(3) and I noticed that there was an extra

I also ran a few grep -r commands to find and remove extra spaces
after '(' in other files, and to find and replace uses of `T*' instead
of `T *'. Some of the instances of `T*` where unnecessary casts that I
removed.
I also fixed a comment that was misaligned in CURLMOPT_SOCKETFUNCTION.3.
And I fixed some formatting inconsistencies: in curl_unescape(3), all
function parameter were mentioned with bold text except length, that was
mentioned as 'length'; and, in curl_easy_unescape(3), all parameters
were mentioned in bold text except url that was italicised. Now they are
all mentioned in bold.
Documentation is not very consistent in how function parameter are
formatted: many pages italicise them, and others display them in bold
text; but I think it makes sense to at least be consistent with
formatting within the same page.

like s3's `UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD` and `STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD`

hash during signature validation, so it must match what the client uses

Prior to this change if the user wanted to signal an error from their

callback.

Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.

Lintian (on Debian) has been complaining about this for a while but
I didn't bother initially as the groff parser that we use is not
affected by this.
But I have now noticed that the online manpage is affected by it:
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH.html
(I'm using double quotes for quoting-only down below)
The section that should be parsed as "'\'" ends up being parsed as
"'´".
This is due to roffit not parsing "'\\'" correctly, which is fine
as the "correct" way of writing "'\'" is "'\e'" instead.
Note that this fix is not enough to fix the online manpage at
curl's website, as roffit seems to parse it wrongly either way.
My intent is to at least fix the manpage so that roffit can
be changed to parse "'\e'" correctly (although I suggest making
roffit parse both ways correctly, since that's what groff does).
