This allows builds know about all schemes - but only have the protocol
implementations for those actually built-in.
It further allows multiple protocols to reuse the same protocol setup
and functions for both TLS and non-TLS implementations instead of
needing two (or more) structs.
The scheme information is now in 'struct Curl_scheme' and all the
function pointers for each scheme/protocol implementation are in struct
Curl_protocol.
The URL API now always work with all known protocols.

When the Alt-Svc points to the same host and port, add the destination
ALPN to the `wanted` versions and set it also as the `preferred` version
in negotiations.
This allows Alt-Svc for h3 to point to h2 and have it tried first. Also,
this allows Alt-Svc to say http/1.1 is preferred and changes the ALPN
protocol ordering for the TLS handshake.
Add tests in various combination to verify this works.

Description of how this works in `docs/internal/RATELIMITS.ms`.
Notable implementation changes:
- KEEP_SEND_PAUSE/KEEP_SEND_HOLD and KEEP_RECV_PAUSE/KEEP_RECV_HOLD
no longer exist. Pausing is down via blocked the new rlimits.
- KEEP_SEND_TIMED no longer exists. Pausing "100-continue" transfers
is done in the new `Curl_http_perform_pollset()` method.
- HTTP/2 rate limiting implemented via window updates. When
transfer initiaiting connection has a ratelimit, adjust the
initial window size
- HTTP/3 ngtcp2 rate limitin implemnented via ack updates
- HTTP/3 quiche does not seem to support this via its API
- the default progress-meter has been improved for accuracy
in "current speed" results.
pytest speed tests have been improved.

`getsock()` calls operated on a global limit that could
not be configure beyond 16 sockets. This is no longer adequate
with the new happy eyeballing strategy.
Instead, do the following:
- make `struct easy_pollset` dynamic. Starting with
a minimal room for two sockets, the very common case,
allow it to grow on demand.
- replace all protocol handler getsock() calls with pollsets
and a CURLcode to return failures
- add CURLcode return for all connection filter `adjust_pollset()`
callbacks, since they too can now fail.
- use appropriately in multi.c and multi_ev.c
- fix unit2600 to trigger pollset growth

Closes#16729
Add a 'wanted' major HTTP version bitmask next to the 'allowed' bitmask
in HTTP version negotiation. This will try connections as specified in
'wanted', but enabled Alt-Svc and HTTPS-RR to redirect to other major
HTTP versions, if those are 'allowed'.
Changes libcurl internal default to `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE` and removes
the code in curl that sets `CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS` if the command line
does not say anything else.
Closes#16117
Translate the `data->set.httpwant` which is one of the consts from the
public API (CURL_HTTP_VERSION_*) into a major version mask plus
additional flags for internal handling.
`Curl_http_neg_init()` does the translation and flags setting in http.c,
using new internal consts CURL_HTTP_V1x, CURL_HTTP_V2x and CURL_HTTP_V3x
for the major versions. The flags are
- only_10: when the application explicity asked fro HTTP/1.0
- h2_upgrade: when the application asks for upgrading 1.1 to 2.
- h2_prior_knowledge: when directly talking h2 without ALPN
- accept_09: when a HTTP/0.9 response is acceptable.
The Alt-Svc and HTTPS RR redirections from one ALPN to another obey the
allowed major versions. If a transfer has only h3 enabled, Alt-Svc
redirection to h2 is ignored.
This is the current implementation. It can be debated if Alt-Svc should
be able to override the allowed major versions. Added test_12_06 to
verify the current restriction.
Closes#16100
Adds a `follow()` callback to protocol handlers, so they may decide how
to act on a `newurl` after a request has been done. This is optional.
This moves the HTTP code for handling redirects from multi.c to http.c
where it should be. If we ever add a protocol with its own logic, it
would install its own follow function.
Closes#16075
The variable `conn->httpversion` was used for several purposes and it
was unclear at which time the value represents what.
- rename `conn->httpversion` to `conn->httpversion_seen`
This makes clear that the variable only records the last
HTTP version seen on the connection - if any. And that it
no longer is an indication of what version to use.
- Change Alt-Svc handling to no longer modify `conn->httpversion`
but set `data->state.httpwant` for influencing the HTTP version
to use on a transfer.
- Add `data->req.httpversion_sent` to have a record of what
HTTP version was sent in a request
- Add connection filter type CF_TYPE_HTTP
- Add filter query `CF_QUERY_HTTP_VERSION` to ask what HTTP
filter version is in place
- Lookup filters HTTP version instead of using `conn->httpversion`
Test test_12_05 now switches to HTTP/1.1 correctly and the
expectations have been fixed.
Removed the connection fitler "is_httpN()" checks and using
the version query instead.

Before this patch `lib/curl_setup.h` defined these two macros right
next to each other, then the source code used them interchangeably.
After this patch, `USE_HTTP3` guards all HTTP/3 / QUIC features.
(Like `USE_HTTP2` does for HTTP/2.) `ENABLE_QUIC` is no longer used.
This patch doesn't change the way HTTP/3 is enabled via autotools

Move all handling of HTTP's `Expect: 100-continue` feature into a client
reader. Add sending flag `KEEP_SEND_TIMED` that triggers transfer
sending on general events like a timer.
HTTP installs a `CURL_CR_PROTOCOL` reader when announcing `Expect:
100-continue`. That reader works as follows:
- on first invocation, records time, starts the `EXPIRE_100_TIMEOUT`
timer, disables `KEEP_SEND`, enables `KEEP_SEND_TIMER` and returns 0,
eos=FALSE like a paused upload.
- on subsequent invocation it checks if the timer has expired. If so, it
enables `KEEP_SEND` and switches to passing through reads to the
underlying readers.
Transfer handling's `readwrite()` will be invoked when a timer expires
(like `EXPIRE_100_TIMEOUT`) or when data from the server arrives. Seeing
`KEEP_SEND_TIMER`, it will try to upload more data, which triggers
reading from the client readers again. Which then may lead to a new
pausing or cause the upload to start.
Flags and timestamps connected to this have been moved from
`SingleRequest` into the reader's context.
Closes#13110
A transfer may do several `SingleRequest`s for its success. This happens
regularly for authentication, follows and retries on failed connections.
The "readwrite()" calls and functions connected to those carried a `bool
*done` parameter to indicate that the current `SingleRequest` is over.
This may happen before `upload_done` or `download_done` bits of
`SingleRequest` are set.
The problem with that is now `write_resp()` protocol handlers are
invoked in places where the `bool *done` cannot be passed up to the
caller. Instead of being a bool in the call chain, it needs to become a
member of `SingleRequest`, reflecting its state.
This removes the `bool *done` parameter and adds the `done` bit to
`SingleRequest` instead. It adds `Curl_req_soft_reset()` for using a
`SingleRequest` in a follow up, clearing `done` and other
flags/counters.

- fix a bug in websocket `curl_ws_recv()` that mixed up data
when it arrived in more than a single chunk (to be made
into a sperate PR, also)
Added as documented [in
CLIENT-READER.md](5b1f31dfba/docs/CLIENT-READERS.md).
- old `Curl_buffer_send()` completely replaced by new `Curl_req_send()`
- old `Curl_fillreadbuffer()` replaced with `Curl_client_read()`
- HTTP chunked uploads are now formatted in a client reader added when
needed.
- FTP line-end conversions are done in a client reader added when
needed.
- when sending requests headers, remaining buffer space is filled with
body data for sending in "one go". This is independent of the request
body size. Resolves#12938 as now small and large requests have the
same code path.
Changes done to test cases:
- test513: now fails before sending request headers as this initial
"client read" triggers the setup fault. Behaves now the same as in
hyper build
- test547, test555, test1620: fix the length check in the lib code to
only fail for reads *smaller* than expected. This was a bug in the
test code that never triggered in the old implementation.

The method for sending not just raw bytes, but bytes that are either
"headers" or "body". The send abstraction stack, to to bottom, now is:
* `Curl_req_send()`: has parameter to indicate amount of header bytes,
buffers all data.
* `Curl_xfer_send()`: knows on which socket index to send, returns
amount of bytes sent.
* `Curl_conn_send()`: called with socket index, returns amount of bytes
sent.
In addition there is `Curl_req_flush()` for writing out all buffered
bytes.
`Curl_req_send()` is active for requests without body,
`Curl_buffer_send()` still being used for others. This is because the
special quirks need to be addressed in future parts:
* `expect-100` handling
* `Curl_fillreadbuffer()` needs to add directly to the new
`data->req.sendbuf`
* special body handlings, like `chunked` encodings and line end
conversions will be moved into something like a Client Reader.
In functions of the pattern `CURLcode xxx_send(..., ssize_t *written)`,
replace the `ssize_t` with a `size_t`. It makes no sense to allow for negative
values as the returned `CURLcode` already specifies error conditions. This
allows easier handling of lengths without casting.
Closes#12964
This clarifies the handling of server responses by folding the code for
the complicated protocols into their protocol handlers. This concerns
mainly HTTP and its bastard sibling RTSP.
The terms "read" and "write" are often used without clear context if
they refer to the connect or the client/application side of a
transfer. This PR uses "read/write" for operations on the client side
and "send/receive" for the connection, e.g. server side. If this is
considered useful, we can revisit renaming of further methods in another
PR.
Curl's protocol handler `readwrite()` method been changed:
```diff
- CURLcode (*readwrite)(struct Curl_easy *data, struct connectdata *conn,
- const char *buf, size_t blen,
- size_t *pconsumed, bool *readmore);
+ CURLcode (*write_resp)(struct Curl_easy *data, const char *buf, size_t blen,
+ bool is_eos, bool *done);
```
The name was changed to clarify that this writes reponse data to the
client side. The parameter changes are:
* `conn` removed as it always operates on `data->conn`
* `pconsumed` removed as the method needs to handle all data on success
* `readmore` removed as no longer necessary
* `is_eos` as indicator that this is the last call for the transfer
response (end-of-stream).
* `done` TRUE on return iff the transfer response is to be treated as
finished
This change affects many files only because of updated comments in
handlers that provide no implementation. The real change is that the
HTTP protocol handlers now provide an implementation.
The HTTP protocol handlers `write_resp()` implementation will get passed
**all** raw data of a server response for the transfer. The HTTP/1.x
formatted status and headers, as well as the undecoded response
body. `Curl_http_write_resp_hds()` is used internally to parse the
response headers and pass them on. This method is public as the RTSP
protocol handler also uses it.
HTTP/1.1 "chunked" transport encoding is now part of the general
*content encoding* writer stack, just like other encodings. A new flag
`CLIENTWRITE_EOS` was added for the last client write. This allows
writers to verify that they are in a valid end state. The chunked
decoder will check if it indeed has seen the last chunk.
The general response handling in `transfer.c:466` happens in function
`readwrite_data()`. This mainly operates now like:
```
static CURLcode readwrite_data(data, ...)
{
do {
Curl_xfer_recv_resp(data, buf)
...
Curl_xfer_write_resp(data, buf)
...
} while(interested);
...
}
```
All the response data handling is implemented in
`Curl_xfer_write_resp()`. It calls the protocol handler's `write_resp()`
implementation if available, or does the default behaviour.
All raw response data needs to pass through this function. Which also
means that anyone in possession of such data may call
`Curl_xfer_write_resp()`.

- Increase the maximum request method name length from 11 to 23.
For HTTP/1.1 and earlier there's not a specific limit in libcurl for
method length except that it is limited by the initial HTTP request
limit (DYN_HTTP_REQUEST). Prior to fc2f1e54 HTTP/2 was treated the same
and there was no specific limit.
According to Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) the longest
registered method is UPDATEREDIRECTREF which is 17 characters.
Also there are unregistered methods used by some companies that are
longer than 11 characters.
The limit was originally added by 61f52a97 but not used until fc2f1e54.

When the legacy CURLOPT_HTTPPOST option is used, it gets converted into
the modem mimpost struct at first use. This data is (now) kept for the
entire transfer and not only per single HTTP request. This re-enables
rewind in the beginning of the second request instead of in end of the
first, as brought by 1b39731.
The request struct is per-request data only.
