Closes#10205
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
Make all libcurl related options use .nf (no fill) for the SYNOPSIS
section - for consistent look. roffit then renders that section using
<pre> (monospace font) in html for the website.
Extended manpage-syntax (test 1173) with a basic check for it.
Closes#8062
- avoid writing "set ..." or "enable/disable ..." or "specify ..."
*All* options for curl_easy_setopt() are about setting or enabling
things and most of the existing options didn't use that way of
description.
- start with lowercase letter, unless abbreviation. For consistency.
- Some additional touch-ups
Closes#7688
In some situations, it was possible that a transfer was setup to
use an specific IP version, but due do DNS caching or connection
reuse, it ended up using a different IP version from requested.
This commit changes the effect of CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE from simply
restricting address resolution to preventing the wrong connection
type being used, when choosing a connection from the pool, and
to restricting what addresses could be used when establishing
a new connection.
It is important that all addresses versions are resolved, even if
not used in that transfer in particular, because the result is
cached, and could be useful for a different transfer with a
different CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE setting.
Closes#6853
Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page
examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..."
