+Subject: [PATCH] setopt: clear proxy auth properties when switching
+
+Verify with test 1588
+
+Closes #21453
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-7168
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/c1cfdf59acbaf9504c4578d4cf56cdd7c8594507]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Place setproxy() beside Curl_setstropt() in curl 8.7.1's monolithic
+  setopt.c and include vauth/vauth.h for its cleanup declaration.
+- Add the upstream no-op digest cleanup macro for builds without
+  Digest.
+- Register test1588 and lib1588 in the curl 8.7.1 Makefile.inc files.
+- Adapt first.h and test_lib1588() to test.h and test(). The older
+  harness has no libtest_arg4, so use test_argv[4] and require five
+  argv entries before reading the fourth test argument.
+- The curl 8.7.1 test macros write to a variable named res. Use
+  CURLcode res in init1588() and int res in test(); retain upstream
+  CURLcode result in run1588(), which uses no harness macro.
+- Use the curl 8.7.1 digest-auth feature name. The separate dependency
+  patch provides its positive feature detection.
+- Change test1588's reply sections to `crlf="yes"` for the same test
+  server behavior.
+
+(cherry picked from commit c1cfdf59acbaf9504c4578d4cf56cdd7c8594507)
