HTTPS proxies:
An HTTPS proxy receives all transactions over an SSL/TLS connection. Once a
secure connection with the proxy is established, the user agent uses the proxy
as usual, including sending CONNECT requests to instruct the proxy to establish
a [usually secure] TCP tunnel with an origin server. HTTPS proxies protect
nearly all aspects of user-proxy communications as opposed to HTTP proxies that
receive all requests (including CONNECT requests) in vulnerable clear text.
With HTTPS proxies, it is possible to have two concurrent _nested_ SSL/TLS
sessions: the "outer" one between the user agent and the proxy and the "inner"
one between the user agent and the origin server (through the proxy). This
change adds supports for such nested sessions as well.
The secure connection with the proxy requires its own set of the usual
SSL/TLS-related options (their descriptions need polishing):
--proxy-cacert FILE CA certificate to verify peer against
--proxy-capath DIR CA directory to verify peer against
--proxy-cert CERT[:PASSWD] Client certificate file and password
--proxy-cert-type TYPE Certificate file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-ciphers LIST SSL ciphers to use
--proxy-crlfile FILE Get a CRL list in PEM format from the given file
--proxy-insecure Allow connections to SSL sites without certs
--proxy-key KEY Private key file name
--proxy-key-type TYPE Private key file type (DER/PEM/ENG)
--proxy-pass PASS Pass phrase for the private key
--proxy-ssl-allow-beast Allow security flaw to improve interop
--proxy-sslv2 Use SSLv2
--proxy-sslv3 Use SSLv3
--proxy-tlsv1 Use TLSv1
--proxy-tlsuser USER TLS username
--proxy-tlspassword STRING TLS password
--proxy-tlsauthtype STRING TLS authentication type (default SRP)
All --proxy-foo options are independent from their --foo counterparts, except
--proxy-crlfile defaults to --crlfile and --proxy-capath defaults to --capath.
Curl now also supports %{proxy_ssl_verify_result} --write-out variable,
similar to the existing %{ssl_verify_result} variable.
SOCKS proxy + HTTP/HTTPS proxy combination:
If both --socks* and --proxy options are given, Curl first connects to the
SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.
Fixed the following warning and error from commit 3af90a6e19 when SSL
is not being used:
url.c:2004: warning C4013: 'Curl_ssl_cert_status_request' undefined;
assuming extern returning int
error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol Curl_ssl_cert_status_request
referenced in function Curl_setopt
This option can be used to enable/disable certificate status verification using
the "Certificate Status Request" TLS extension defined in RFC6066 section 8.
This also adds the CURLE_SSL_INVALIDCERTSTATUS error, to be used when the
certificate status verification fails, and the Curl_ssl_cert_status_request()
function, used to check whether the SSL backend supports the status_request
extension.
The return type for this function was 0 on success and 1 on error. This
was then examined by the calling functions and, in most cases, used to
return CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
Instead use CURLcode for the return type and return the out of memory
error directly, propagating it up the call stack.
The return type of this function is a boolean value, and even uses a
bool internally, so use bool in the function declaration as well as
the variables that store the return value, to avoid any confusion.
It turned out some features were not enabled in the build since for
example url.c #ifdefs on features that are defined on a per-backend
basis but vtls.h didn't include the backend headers.
CURLOPT_CERTINFO was one such feature that was accidentally disabled.
To force each backend implementation to really attempt to provide proper
random. If a proper random function is missing, then we can explicitly
make use of the default one we use when TLS support is missing.
This commit makes sure it works for darwinssl, gnutls, nss and openssl.
Curl_rand() will return a dummy and repatable random value for this
case. Makes it possible to write test cases that verify output.
Also, fake timestamp with CURL_FORCETIME set.
Only when built debug enabled of course.
Curl_ssl_random() was not used anymore so it has been
removed. Curl_rand() is enough.
create_digest_md5_message: generate base64 instead of hex string
curl_sasl: also fix memory leaks in some OOM situations
