http: control GSSAPI credential delegation
Delegation of credentials is disabled by default in libcurl since version 7.21.7 due to security vulnerability CVE-2011-2192. Which makes troubles with GSS/kerberos authentication when delegation of credentials is required. This can be changed with option CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION in libcurl with set expected parameter since libcurl version 7.22.0. This patch provides new configuration variable http.delegation which corresponds to curl parameter "--delegation" (see man 1 curl). The following values are supported: * none (default). * policy * always Signed-off-by: Petr Stodulka <pstodulk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
