http: allow selection of proxy authentication method
CURLAUTH_ANY does not work with proxies which answer unauthenticated requests with a 307 redirect to an error page instead of a 407 listing supported authentication methods. Therefore, allow the authentication method to be set using the environment variable GIT_HTTP_PROXY_AUTHMETHOD or configuration variables http.proxyAuthmethod and remote.<name>.proxyAuthmethod (in analogy to http.proxy and remote.<name>.proxy). The following values are supported: * anyauth (default) * basic * digest * negotiate * ntlm Signed-off-by: Knut Franke <k.franke@science-computing.de> Signed-off-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com> Helped-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com> Helped-by: Eric Sunshine <sunshine@sunshineco.com> Helped-by: Elia Pinto <gitter.spiros@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
