In mail and stream modules, no certificate provided is a fatal condition,
much like with the "ssl" and "starttls" directives.
In http, "listen ... ssl" can be used in a non-default server without
certificates as long as there is a certificate in the default one, so
missing certificate is only fatal for default servers.
In 51e1f047d15d, the "ssl" directive name was incorrectly hardcoded
in the error message shown when there are some SSL keys defined, but
not for all certificates. Right approach is to use the "mode" variable,
which can be either "ssl" or "starttls".
All the errors that prevent loading configuration must be printed on the "emerg"
log level. Previously, nginx might silently fail to load configuration in some
cases as the default log level is "error".
This patch moves various OpenSSL-specific function calls into the
OpenSSL module and introduces ngx_ssl_ciphers() to make nginx more
crypto-library-agnostic.
OpenSSL 1.0.2+ allows configuring a curve list instead of a single curve
previously supported. This allows use of different curves depending on
what client supports (as available via the elliptic_curves extension),
and also allows use of different curves in an ECDHE key exchange and
in the ECDSA certificate.
The special value "auto" was introduced (now the default for ssl_ecdh_curve),
which means "use an internal list of curves as available in the OpenSSL
library used". For versions prior to OpenSSL 1.0.2 it maps to "prime256v1"
as previously used. The default in 1.0.2b+ prefers prime256v1 as well
(and X25519 in OpenSSL 1.1.0+).
As client vs. server preference of curves is controlled by the
same option as used for ciphers (SSL_OP_CIPHER_SERVER_PREFERENCE),
the ssl_prefer_server_ciphers directive now controls both.
LibreSSL removed support for export ciphers and a call to
SSL_CTX_set_tmp_rsa_callback() results in an error left in the error
queue. This caused alerts "ignoring stale global SSL error (...called
a function you should not call) while SSL handshaking" on a first connection
in each worker process.
The "ssl_verify_client", "ssl_verify_depth", "ssl_client_certificate",
"ssl_trusted_certificate", and "ssl_crl" directives introduced to control
SSL client certificate verification in mail proxy module.
If there is a certificate, detail of the certificate are passed to
the auth_http script configured via Auth-SSL-Verify, Auth-SSL-Subject,
Auth-SSL-Issuer, Auth-SSL-Serial, Auth-SSL-Fingerprint headers. If
the auth_http_pass_client_cert directive is set, client certificate
in PEM format will be passed in the Auth-SSL-Cert header (urlencoded).
If there is no required certificate provided during an SSL handshake
or certificate verification fails then a protocol-specific error is
returned after the SSL handshake and the connection is closed.

This adds support so it's possible to explicitly disable SSL Session
Tickets. In order to have good Forward Secrecy support either the
session ticket key has to be reloaded by using nginx' binary upgrade
process or using an external key file and reloading the configuration.
This directive adds another possibility to have good support by
disabling session tickets altogether.
If session tickets are enabled and the process lives for a long a time,
an attacker can grab the session ticket from the process and use that to
decrypt any traffic that occured during the entire lifetime of the
process.
In order to support key rollover, ssl_session_ticket_key can be defined
multiple times. The first key will be used to issue and resume Session
Tickets, while the rest will be used only to resume them.
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/current.key;
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/prev-1h.key;
ssl_session_ticket_key session_tickets/prev-2h.key;
Please note that nginx supports Session Tickets even without explicit
configuration of the keys and this feature should be only used in setups
where SSL traffic is distributed across multiple nginx servers.

Support for TLSv1.1 and TLSv1.2 protocols was introduced in OpenSSL 1.0.1
(-beta1 was recently released). This change makes it possible to disable
these protocols and/or enable them without other protocols.
enabled in any server. The previous r1033 does not help when unused zone
becomes used after reconfiguration, so it is backed out.
The initial thought was to make SSL modules independed from SSL implementation
and to keep OpenSSL code dependance as much as in separate files.

on configuraiton phase. This decreases start time for configuration with
large number of HTTPS hosts.
