Commit65c3bf19fdmoved handling of the, already then, deprecated requiressl parameter into conninfo_storeval(). The default PGREQUIRESSL environment variable was however lost in the change resulting in a potentially silent accept of a non-SSL connection even when set. Its documentation remained. Restore its implementation. Also amend the documentation to mark PGREQUIRESSL as deprecated for those not following the link to requiressl. Back-patch to 9.3, where commit65c3bf1first appeared. Behavior has been more complex when the user provides both deprecated and non-deprecated settings. Before commit65c3bf1, libpq operated according to the first of these found: requiressl=1 PGREQUIRESSL=1 sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* (Note requiressl=0 didn't override sslmode=*; it would only suppress PGREQUIRESSL=1 or a previous requiressl=1. PGREQUIRESSL=0 had no effect whatsoever.) Starting with commit65c3bf1, libpq ignored PGREQUIRESSL, and order of precedence changed to this: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* Starting now, adopt the following order of precedence: last of requiressl=* or sslmode=* PGSSLMODE=* PGREQUIRESSL=1 This retains the65c3bf1behavior for connection strings that contain both requiressl=* and sslmode=*. It retains the65c3bf1change that either connection string option overrides both environment variables. For the first time, PGSSLMODE has precedence over PGREQUIRESSL; this avoids reducing security of "PGREQUIRESSL=1 PGSSLMODE=verify-full" configurations originating under v9.3 and later.
