2017-09-03mime: remove support "-" stdin pseudo-file name in curl_mime_filedata().Patrick Monnerat
This feature is badly supported in Windows: as a replacement, a caller has to use curl_mime_data_cb() with fread, fseek and possibly fclose callbacks to process opened files. The cli tool and documentation are updated accordingly. The feature is however kept internally for form API compatibility, with the known caveats it always had. As a side effect, stdin size is not determined by the cli tool even if possible and this results in a chunked transfer encoding. Test 173 is updated accordingly.
2017-09-02mime: new MIME API.Patrick Monnerat
Available in HTTP, SMTP and IMAP. Deprecates the FORM API. See CURLOPT_MIMEPOST. Lib code and associated documentation.

Closes #1849
2017-08-31curl_global_sslset.3: show the struct and enum tooDaniel Stenberg
... so that users can actually write code based on the man page alone, not having to read the header file.
2017-08-30curl_global_sslset.3: clarifyDaniel Stenberg
it is a one time *set*, not necessarily a one time use... it can be called again if the first call failed or just listed the alternatives. clarify that the available backends are the ones this build supports plus add some formatting Reported-by: Rich Gray Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2017-08/0119.html

2017-08-28vtls: introduce curl_global_sslset()Johannes Schindelin
Let's add a compile time safe API to select an SSL backend. This function needs to be called *before* curl_global_init(), and can be called only once. Side note: we do not explicitly test that it is called before curl_global_init(), but we do verify that it is not called multiple times (even implicitly). If SSL is used before the function was called, it will use whatever the CURL_SSL_BACKEND environment variable says (or default to the first available SSL backend), and if a subsequent call to curl_global_sslset() disagrees with the previous choice, it will fail with CURLSSLSET_TOO_LATE. The function also accepts an "avail" parameter to point to a (read-only) NULL-terminated list of available backends. This comes in real handy if an application wants to let the user choose between whatever SSL backends the currently available libcurl has to offer: simply call curl_global_sslset(-1, NULL, &avail); which will return CURLSSLSET_UNKNOWN_BACKEND and populate the avail variable to point to the relevant information to present to the user. Just like with the HTTP/2 push functions, we have to add the function declaration of curl_global_sslset() function to the header file *multi.h* because VMS and OS/400 require a stable order of functions declared in include/curl/*.h (where the header files are sorted alphabetically). This looks a bit funny, but it cannot be helped. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

2017-08-17ssh: add the ability to enable compression (for SCP/SFTP)Viktor Szakats
The required low-level logic was already available as part of `libssh2` (via `LIBSSH2_FLAG_COMPRESS` `libssh2_session_flag()`[1] option.) This patch adds the new `libcurl` option `CURLOPT_SSH_COMPRESSION` (boolean) and the new `curl` command-line option `--compressed-ssh` to request this `libssh2` feature. To have compression enabled, it is required that the SSH server supports a (zlib) compatible compression method and that `libssh2` was built with `zlib` support enabled.

2017-06-28CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH: allowed methods for SOCKS5 proxy authKamil Dudka
If libcurl was built with GSS-API support, it unconditionally advertised GSS-API authentication while connecting to a SOCKS5 proxy. This caused problems in environments with improperly configured Kerberos: a stock libcurl failed to connect, despite libcurl built without GSS-API connected fine using username and password. This commit introduces the CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH option to control the allowed methods for SOCKS5 authentication at run time. Note that a new option was preferred over reusing CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH for compatibility reasons because the set of authentication methods allowed by default was different for HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies. Bug: https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2017-01/0005.html Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/1454
