I just noticed curl_version_info() is not thread-safe when compiled with
multi-ssl backends because the HTTPS-proxy feature bit is computed at
run-time and may change between calls.
This is the case until the effective SSL backend is selected
(curl_global_sslset() or curl_global_init()).
I have been wondering quite a long time about what to do against that
and the "least bad" solution I can imagine is to always consider the
HTTPS-proxy feature as absent when MultiSSL is enabled, even after the
effective SSL backend has been selected.
The cost is an application would not be able anymore to select a backend
then use version info to see if it support HTTPS-proxy. That said,
features never were intended to be dynamic.
Comments and suggestions are welcome !
