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).

- Support TLS 1.3 as the default max TLS version for Windows Server 2022
and Windows 11.
- Support specifying TLS 1.3 ciphers via existing option
CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS (tool: --tls13-ciphers).

Starting now, CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is the alias instead of the
other way around.
Since 7.20.0, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT has existed as an alias
but since the option is for more protocols than FTP the more "correct"
version of the option is the "server" one so now we switch.
Closes#9104

These two options were only ever used for the OpenSSL backend for
versions before 1.1.0. They were never used for other backends and they
are not used with recent OpenSSL versions. They were never used much by
applications.
The defines RANDOM_FILE and EGD_SOCKET can still be set at build-time
for ancient EOL OpenSSL versions.

As credentials can be quite different depending on the mechanism used,
there are no default mechanisms for LDAP and simple bind with a DN is

The caller has to provide mechanism(s) using CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS to

83cc966 changed documentation from using http to https. However,
CURLOPT_RESOLVE being set to port 80 in the documentation means that it

Add support for `CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB` `CURLOPT_PROXY_CAINFO_BLOB` to the
rustls TLS backend. Multiple certificates in a single PEM string are
supported just like OpenSSL does with this option.
This is compatible at least with rustls-ffi 0.8+ which is our new
minimum version anyway.
I was able to build and run this on Windows, pulling trusted certs from
the system and then add them to rustls by setting
`CURLOPT_CAINFO_BLOB`. Handy!

- Early check proper LDAP URL syntax. Reject URLs with a userinfo part.

Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the
backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails. This commit
replaces this with the percent-escaping method for URLs.
As this may introduce incompatibilities with server-side applications, a

CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE is introduced to revert to legacy use of
backslash-escaping. This is controlled by new cli tool option
--form-escape.
New tests and documentation are provided for this feature.
