// Package controlhttp implements the Tailscale 2021 control protocol
// base transport over HTTP.
//
// This tunnels the protocol in control/controlbase over HTTP with a
// variety of compatibility fallbacks for handling picky or deep
// inspecting proxies.
//
// In the happy path, a client makes a single cleartext HTTP request
// to the server, the server responds with 101 Switching Protocols,
// and the control base protocol takes place over plain TCP.
//
// In the compatibility path, the client does the above over HTTPS,
// resulting in double encryption (once for the control transport, and
// once for the outer TLS layer).
