2020-03-05http: add client cert support for HTTPS proxiesLibravatar Jorge Lopez Silva1-0/+17
Git supports performing connections to HTTPS proxies, but we don't support doing mutual authentication with them (through TLS). Add the necessary options to be able to send a client certificate to the HTTPS proxy. A client certificate can provide an alternative way of authentication instead of using 'ProxyAuthorization' or other more common methods of authentication. Libcurl supports this functionality already, so changes are somewhat minimal. The feature is guarded by the first available libcurl version that supports these options. 4 configuration options are added and documented, cert, key, cert password protected and CA info. The CA info should be used to specify a different CA path to validate the HTTPS proxy cert. Signed-off-by: Jorge Lopez Silva <jalopezsilva@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

Doc updates. * bc/misconception-doc: docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuable doc: dissuade users from trying to ignore tracked files
2020-01-22docs: mention when increasing http.postBuffer is valuableLibravatar brian m. carlson1-0/+8
Users in a wide variety of situations find themselves with HTTP push problems. Oftentimes these issues are due to antivirus software, filtering proxies, or other man-in-the-middle situations; other times, they are due to simple unreliability of the network. However, a common solution to HTTP push problems found online is to increase http.postBuffer. This works for none of the aforementioned situations and is only useful in a small, highly restricted number of cases: essentially, when the connection does not properly support HTTP/1.1. Document when raising this value is appropriate and what it actually does, and discourage people from using it as a general solution for push problems, since it is not effective there.

2020-01-21docs: use "currently" for the present timeLibravatar brian m. carlson1-2/+2
In many languages, the adverb with the root "actual" means "at the present time." However, this usage is considered dated or even archaic in English, and for referring to events occurring at the present time, we usually prefer "currently" or "presently". "Actually" is commonly used in modern English only for the meaning of "in fact" or to express a contrast with what is expected. Since the documentation refers to the available options at the present time (that is, at the time of writing) instead of drawing a contrast, let's switch to "currently," which both is commonly used and sounds less formal than "presently."
