Multiple Backends for URL package.

This package provides several backends for url-retrieve & url-retrieve-synchronously, which replace the internal implementation.

The motivation of this package is I can't connect HTTPS url behind proxy (Related bugs: #11788, #12636, #18860, msg00756, #10).

As the URL package has supported HTTPS over proxies supporting CONNECT since Emacs 26, this package is no longer recommended. But it can still be used in Emacs 26+.

mb-url is available on MELPA and el-get.

To install mb-url from git repository, clone the repo, then add the repo dir into load-path.

mb-url depends on cl-lib; The test code also depends on s.

Currently only support url-http.

Install mb-url-http-around-advice to use mb-url-http backends.

(advice-add 'url-http :around 'mb-url-http-around-advice)

All backend functions receive (name url buffer default-sentinel), return a process.

mb-url-http-backend indicates the current backend. If the backend is nil, which means no backend, url-http will be called.

E.g.,

(setq mb-url-http-backend 'mb-url-http-curl)

NOTE: All clients are required to support automatically decompressing response bodies.
