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.

- Update the OpenSSL connect state machine to handle
SSL_ERROR_WANT_RETRY_VERIFY.
This allows libcurl users that are using custom certificate validation
to suspend processing while waiting for external I/O during certificate
validation.

- Implement AUTH=+LOGIN for CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS to prefer plaintext
LOGIN over SASL auth.
Prior to this change there was no method to be able to fall back to
LOGIN if an IMAP server advertises SASL capabilities. However, this may
be desirable for e.g. a misconfigured server.
Per: https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc5092.html#section-3.2
";AUTH=<enc-auth-type>" looks to be the correct way to specify what
authenication method to use, regardless of SASL or not.

- add an `id` long to Curl_easy, -1 on init
- once added to a multi (or its own multi), it gets
a non-negative number assigned by the connection cache
- `id` is unique among all transfers using the same
cache until reaching LONG_MAX where it will wrap
around. So, not unique eternally.
- CURLINFO_CONN_ID returns the connection id attached to
data or, if none present, data->state.lastconnect_id
- variables and type declared in tool for write out
Closes#11185
The behavior of CURLOPT_UPLOAD differs from what is described in the
documentation. The option automatically adds the 'Transfer-Encoding:
chunked' header if the upload size is unknown.

These two functions were added in 7.44.0 when CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION was
introduced but always lived a life in the shadows, embedded in the
CURLMOPT_PUSHFUNCTION man page. Until now.
It makes better sense and gives more visibility to document them in
their own stand-alone man pages.
Closes#11286
Hook the new (1.11.0 or newer) libssh2 support for setting a read timeout
into the SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT option. With this done, clients can use
the standard curl response timeout setting to also control the time that
libssh2 will wait for packets from a slow server. This is necessary to
enable use of very slow SFTP servers.

I was reading curl_unescape(3) and I noticed that there was an extra
space after the open parenthesis in the SYNOPSIS; I removed the extra
space.
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.

- remove h3 issues believed to be fixed
- make the flaky CI issue be generic and not Windows specific
- "TLS session cache does not work with TFO" now documented
This is now a documented restriction and not a bug. TFO in general is
rarely used and has other problems, making it a low-priotity thing to
work on.
- remove "Renegotiate from server may cause hang for OpenSSL backend"
This is an OpenSSL issue, not a curl one. Even if it taints curl.
- rm "make distclean loops forever"

- Warn that in Windows if libcurl is running from a DLL and if
CURLOPT_HEADERDATA is set then CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION or
CURLOPT_HEADERFUNCTION must be set as well, otherwise the user may
experience crashes.
We already have a similar warning in CURLOPT_WRITEDATA. Basically, in
Windows libcurl could crash writing a FILE pointer that was created by
a different C runtime. In Windows each DLL that is part of a program may
or may not have its own C runtime.

- 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.
