Before this patch, enabling LDAPS required a manual C flag:
c1cfc31cfc/curl-cmake.sh (L105)
Fix this and enable LDAPS automatically when using `wldap32` (and
when not explicitly disabled). This matches autotools and `Makefile.mk`
behavior. Also remove issue from KNOWN_BUGS.
Add workaround for MSVS 2010 warning triggered by LDAPS now enabled
in more CI tests:
`ldap.c(360): warning C4306: 'type cast' : conversion from 'int' to 'void *' of greater size`

Here somehow you need to put more than one URL in these examples, else
they will make no sense, as --rate only affects the second and beyond
URLs. The first URL will always finish the same time no matter what
--rate is given.

This codifies what people have actually used in git commits over the
past 6 years. I've left off some lesser-used headers that appear to
duplicate others and tried to describe a consistent use for several
others that were used more arbitrarily.
This makes it easier for new committers to find out the kinds of things
we want to acknowledge, makes it easier to perform statistical analysis
on commits, and opens the possibility of performing lint checks on
descriptions before submission.

- remove "Excessive HTTP/2 packets with TCP_NODELAY"
This is not a bug. Rather room for improvement.
I believe these have been fixed:
- 17.4 Connection failures with parallel HTTP/2
- 17.5 HTTP/2 connections through HTTPS proxy frequently stall
- remove "FTPS needs session reuse"
That is still true, but curl should also do session reuse now.
- remove "ASCII FTP"
It is documented behavior, and not single user has asked for extended
functionality here the last decade or so.
- remove "Passive transfer tries only one IP address"

New cfilter HTTP-CONNECT for h3/h2/http1.1 eyeballing.
- filter is installed when `--http3` in the tool is used (or
the equivalent CURLOPT_ done in the library)
- starts a QUIC/HTTP/3 connect right away. Should that not
succeed after 100ms (subject to change), a parallel attempt
is started for HTTP/2 and HTTP/1.1 via TCP
- both attempts are subject to IPv6/IPv4 eyeballing, same
as happens for other connections
- tie timeout to the ip-version HAPPY_EYEBALLS_TIMEOUT
- use a `soft` timeout at half the value. When the soft timeout
expires, the HTTPS-CONNECT filter checks if the QUIC filter
has received any data from the server. If not, it will start
the HTTP/2 attempt.
HTTP/3(ngtcp2) improvements.
- setting call_data in all cfilter calls similar to http/2 and vtls filters
for use in callback where no stream data is available.
- returning CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE for prematurely terminated transfers
- enabling pytest test_05 for h3
- shifting functionality to "connect" UDP sockets from ngtcp2
implementation into the udp socket cfilter. Because unconnected
UDP sockets are weird. For example they error when adding to a
pollset.
HTTP/3(quiche) improvements.
- fixed upload bug in quiche implementation, now passes 251 and pytest
- error codes on stream RESET
- improved debug logs
- handling of DRAIN during connect
- limiting pending event queue
HTTP/2 cfilter improvements.
- use LOG_CF macros for dynamic logging in debug build
- fix CURLcode on RST streams to be CURLE_PARTIAL_FILE
- enable pytest test_05 for h2
- fix upload pytests and improve parallel transfer performance.
GOAWAY handling for ngtcp2/quiche
- during connect, when the remote server refuses to accept new connections
and closes immediately (so the local conn goes into DRAIN phase), the
connection is torn down and a another attempt is made after a short grace
period.
This is the behaviour observed with nghttpx when we tell it to shut
down gracefully. Tested in pytest test_03_02.
TLS improvements
- ALPN selection for SSL/SSL-PROXY filters in one vtls set of functions, replaces
copy of logic in all tls backends.
- standardized the infof logging of offered ALPNs
- ALPN negotiated: have common function for all backends that sets alpn proprty
and connection related things based on the negotiated protocol (or lack thereof).
- new tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py for testing h3/h2 protocol implementation.
Invoke:
python3 tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py --help
for usage.
Improvements on gathering connect statistics and socket access.
- new CF_CTRL_CONN_REPORT_STATS cfilter control for having cfilters
report connection statistics. This is triggered when the connection
has completely connected.
- new void Curl_pgrsTimeWas(..) method to report a timer update with
a timestamp of when it happend. This allows for updating timers
"later", e.g. a connect statistic after full connectivity has been
reached.
- in case of HTTP eyeballing, the previous changes will update
statistics only from the filter chain that "won" the eyeballing.
- new cfilter query CF_QUERY_SOCKET for retrieving the socket used
by a filter chain.
Added methods Curl_conn_cf_get_socket() and Curl_conn_get_socket()
for convenient use of this query.
- Change VTLS backend to query their sub-filters for the socket when
checks during the handshake are made.
HTTP/3 documentation on how https eyeballing works.
TLS improvements
- ALPN selection for SSL/SSL-PROXY filters in one vtls set of functions, replaces
copy of logic in all tls backends.
- standardized the infof logging of offered ALPNs
- ALPN negotiated: have common function for all backends that sets alpn proprty
and connection related things based on the negotiated protocol (or lack thereof).
Scorecard with Caddy.
- configure can be run with `--with-test-caddy=path` to specify which caddy to use for testing
- tests/tests-httpd/scorecard.py now measures download speeds with caddy
pytest improvements
- adding Makfile to clean gen dir
- adding nghttpx rundir creation on start
- checking httpd version 2.4.55 for test_05 cases where it is needed. Skipping with message if too old.
- catch exception when checking for caddy existance on system.

The documentation of `%{header_json}` missed to mention since which
version this variable for `--write-out` is present.
Based on commit https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/4133a69f2daa476bb

first version to include it was `7.83.0`.

- Clarify that in Windows batch files the % must be escaped as %%, and
at the command prompt it cannot be escaped which could lead to
incorrect expansion.
Prior to this change the doc implied % must be escaped as %% in win32
always.
---
Examples showing how a write-out argument is received by curl:
If curl --write-out "%{http_code}" is executed in a batch file:
{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%%{http_code}" is executed in a batch file:
%{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%{http_code}" is executed from the command prompt:
%{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%%{http_code}" is executed from the command prompt:
%%{http_code}
At the command prompt something like "%{speed_download}%{http_code}"
would first be parsed by the command interpreter as %{speed_download}%
and would be expanded as environment variable {speed_download} if it
existed, though that's highly unlikely since Windows environment names
don't use braces.

- 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.

Deprecation and removal of codeset conversion support from the library
have released the strict need for an early binding of mime structures to
an easy handle (https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/2610142).
This constraint currently forces to create the handle before the mime
structure and the latter cannot be attached to another handle once
created (see https://curl.se/mail/lib-2022-08/0027.html).
This commit removes the handle pointers from the mime structures
allowing more flexibility on their use.
When an easy handle is duplicated, bound mime structures must however
still be duplicated too as their components hold send-time dynamic
information.

`Curl_output_aws_sigv4()` doesn't always have the whole payload in
memory to generate a real payload hash. this commit allows the user to
pass in a header like `x-amz-content-sha256` to provide their desired
payload hash
some services like s3 require this header, and may support other values
like s3's `UNSIGNED-PAYLOAD` and `STREAMING-AWS4-HMAC-SHA256-PAYLOAD`
with special semantics. servers use this header's value as the payload
hash during signature validation, so it must match what the client uses
to generate the signature

Update bare GNU Make `Makefile.m32` to:
- Move objects into a subdirectory.
- Add support for MS-DOS. Tested with DJGPP.
- Add support for Watt-32 (on MS-DOS).
- Add support for AmigaOS.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk`
- Replace `ARCH` with `TRIPLET`.
- Build `tool_hugehelp.c` proper (when tools are available).
- Drop MS-DOS compatibility macro `USE_ZLIB` (replaced by `HAVE_LIBZ`)
- Add support for `ZLIB_LIBS` to override `-lz`.
- Omit object files when building examples.
- Default `CC` to `gcc` once again, for convenience. (Caveat: compiler
name `cc` cannot be set now.)
- Set `-DCURL_NO_OLDIES` for examples, like autotools does.
- Delete `makefile.dj` files. Notice the configuration details and
defaults are not retained with the new method.
- Delete `makefile.amiga` files. A successful build needs a few custom
options. We're also not retaining all build details from the existing
Amiga make files.
- Rename `Makefile.m32` to `Makefile.mk` to reflect that they are not
Windows/MinGW32-specific anymore.
- Add support for new `CFG` options: `-map`, `-debug`, `-trackmem`
- Set `-DNDEBUG` by default.
- Allow using `-DOS=...` in all `lib/config-*.h` headers, syncing this
with `config-win32.h`.
- Look for zlib parts in `ZLIB_PATH/include` and `ZLIB_PATH/lib`
instead of bare `ZLIB_PATH`.
Note that existing build configurations for MS-DOS and AmigaOS likely
become incompatible with this change.
Example AmigaOS configuration:
```
export CROSSPREFIX=/opt/amiga/bin/m68k-amigaos-
export CC=gcc
export CPPFLAGS='-DHAVE_PROTO_BSDSOCKET_H'
export CFLAGS='-mcrt=clib2'
