    Summary: HTTP proxy double free

    Details: If curl is told to use an HTTP proxy for a transfer with a non-HTTP(S) URL, it sets up the connection to the remote server by issuing a `CONNECT` request to the proxy, and then *tunnels* the rest of protocol through. An HTTP proxy might refuse this request (HTTP proxies often only allow outgoing connections to specific port numbers, like 443 for HTTPS) and instead return a non-200 response code to the client. Due to flaws in the error/cleanup handling, this could trigger a double free in curl if one of the following schemes were used in the URL for the transfer: `dict`, `gopher`, `gophers`, `ldap`, `ldaps`, `rtmp`, `rtmps`, `telnet`
