Kalle Olavi Niemitalo a83ff1f565 1040: Blacklist servers that support SSL3 but not TLS1.
It seems GnuTLS is not as good at negotiating a supported protocol as
OpenSSL is.  ELinks tries to work around that by retrying with a
different protocol if the SSL library reports an error.  However,
ELinks must not automatically retry POST requests where some data may
have already reached the server; POST is not a safe method in HTTP.
So instead, collect the name of the TLS-incapable server in a blacklist
when ELinks e.g. loads an HTML form from it; the actual POST can then
immediately use the protocol that worked.

It's a bit ugly that src/network/socket.c now uses
protocol/http/blacklist.h.  It might be better to move the blacklist
files out of the http directory, and perhaps merge them with the
BitTorrent blacklisting code.
