+Subject: [PATCH] http: Don't wait on CONNECT when there is no proxy
+
+Since curl 7.55.0, NetworkManager almost always failed its connectivity
+check by timeout. I bisected this to 5113ad04 (http-proxy: do the HTTP
+CONNECT process entirely non-blocking).
+
+This patch replaces !Curl_connect_complete with Curl_connect_ongoing,
+which returns false if the CONNECT state was left uninitialized and lets
+the connection continue.
+
+Closes #1803
+Fixes #1804
