Dr. David von Oheimb 29f178bddf Generalize the HTTP client so far implemented mostly in crypto/ocsp/ocsp_ht.c
The new client has become an independent libcrpyto module in crypto/http/ and
* can handle any types of requests and responses (ASN.1-encoded and plain)
* does not include potentially busy loops when waiting for responses but
* makes use of a new timeout mechanism integrated with socket-based BIO
* supports the use of HTTP proxies and TLS, including HTTPS over proxies
* supports HTTP redirection via codes 301 and 302 for GET requests
* returns more useful diagnostics in various error situations
Also adapts - and strongly simplifies - hitherto uses of HTTP in crypto/ocsp/,
crypto/x509/x_all.c, apps/lib/apps.c, and apps/{ocsp,s_client,s_server}.c

Adding new libraries
--------------------

When adding a new sub-library to OpenSSL, assign it a library number
ERR_LIB_XXX, define a macro XXXerr() (both in err.h), add its
name to ERR_str_libraries[] (in crypto/err/err.c), and add
ERR_load_XXX_strings() to the ERR_load_crypto_strings() function
(in crypto/err/err_all.c). Finally, add an entry:

    L      XXX     xxx.h   xxx_err.c

to crypto/err/openssl.ec, and add xxx_err.c to the Makefile.
Running make errors will then generate a file xxx_err.c, and
add all error codes used in the library to xxx.h.

Additionally the library include file must have a certain form.
Typically it will initially look like this:

    #ifndef HEADER_XXX_H
    #define HEADER_XXX_H

    #ifdef __cplusplus
    extern "C" {
    #endif

    /* Include files */

    #include <openssl/bio.h>
    #include <openssl/x509.h>

    /* Macros, structures and function prototypes */


    /* BEGIN ERROR CODES */

The BEGIN ERROR CODES sequence is used by the error code
generation script as the point to place new error codes, any text
after this point will be overwritten when make errors is run.
The closing #endif etc will be automatically added by the script.

The generated C error code file xxx_err.c will load the header
files stdio.h, openssl/err.h and openssl/xxx.h so the
header file must load any additional header files containing any
definitions it uses.
