Because only the libssh2 backend not supports it and thus this should
return error if this option is used other backends.

- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
- CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
This option was changed in libcurl 7.57.0 and clearly it has not caused
too many issues and a lot of time has passed.
- Store TLS context per transfer instead of per connection
This is a possible future optimization. One that is much less important
and interesting since the added support for CA caching.
- Microsoft telnet server
This bug was filed in May 2007 against curl 7.16.1 and we have not
received further reports.
- active FTP over a SOCKS
Actually, proxies in general is not working with active FTP mode. This
is now added in proxy documentation.
- DICT responses show the underlying protocol
curl still does this, but since this is now an established behavior
since forever we cannot change it easily and adding an option for it
seems crazy as this protocol is not so little its not worth it. Let's
just live with it.
- Secure Transport disabling hostname validation also disables SNI
This is an already documented restriction in Secure Transport.
- CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION not called with CURLFORM_STREAM
The curl_formadd() function is marked and documented as deprecated. No
point in collecting bugs for it. It should not be used further.
- STARTTRANSFER time is wrong for HTTP POSTs
After close source code inspection I cannot see how this is true or that
there is any special treatment for different HTTP methods. We also have
not received many further reports on this, making me strongly suspect
that this is no (longer an) issue.
- multipart formposts file name encoding
The once proposed RFC 5987-encoding is since RFC 7578 documented as MUST
NOT be used. The since then implemented MIME API allows the user to set
the name on their own and can thus provide it encoded as it wants.
- DoH is not used for all name resolves when enabled
It is questionable if users actually want to use DoH for interface and
FTP port name resolving. This restriction is now documented and we
advice users against using name resolving at all for these functions.
Closes#10043
- "FTP with CONNECT and slow server"
I believe this is not a problem these days.
- "FTP with NULs in URL parts"
The FTP protocol does not support them properly anyway.
- remove "FTP and empty path parts in the URL"
I don't think this has ever been reported as a real problem but was only
a hypothetical one.
- "Premature transfer end but healthy control channel"
This is not a bug, this is an optimization that *could* be performed but is
not an actual problem.
- "FTP without or slow 220 response"
Instead add to the documentation of the connect timeout that the
connection is considered complete at TCP/TLS/QUIC layer.
Closes#9979
Makes curl always use dot as decimal separator for options,
independently of what the locale says. Makes scripts and command lines
portable.
Updated docs accordingly.

Improved logic for finding existing --options in text and replacing with
the full version with nroff syntax. This also makes the web version link
options better.

Fixes#9899Closes#9902
This option adds a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the
end of the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for
--data-urlencode with one extension:
If the argument starts with a '+' (plus), the rest of the string is
provided as-is unencoded.
This allows users to "build" query parts with options and URL encoding
even when not doing GET requests, which the already provided option -G
(--get) is limited to.
This idea was born in a Twitter thread.
Closes#9691
If a command line option is in many help categories, there is a risk
that CURLHELP bitmask source lines generated for listhelp are longer
than 79 characters.
This change takes care of folding such long lines.
Cloes #9834
The keyword specifies how option works when specified multiple times:
- single: the last provided value replaces the earlier ones
- append: it supports being provided multiple times
- boolean: on/off values
- mutex: flag-like option that disable anoter flag
The 'gen.pl' script then outputs the proper and unified language for
each option's multi-use behavior in the generated man page.
The multi: header is requires in each .d file and will cause build error
if missing or set to an unknown value.
Closes#9759
They were previously (erroneously) added manually to tool_listhelp.c
which would make them get removed again when the file is updated next
time, unless added correctly here in header.d
Follow-up to 2437fac01Closes#9690
The introduction of CURL_DISABLE_MIME came with some additional bugs:
- Disabled MIME is compiled-in anyway if SMTP and/or IMAP is enabled.
- CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are
conditioned on HTTP, although also needed for SMTP and IMAP MIME mail
uploads.
In addition, the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and --header documentation does not
mention their use for MIME mail.
This commit fixes the problems above.
Closes#9610
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.
Closes#9307
As "(aq" and "(dq" to prevent them from implying a meaning in the nroff
output. This removes the need for using \& escapes in the .d files'
description parts.
Closes#9352
The example was missing a "--form" argument
I also replaced "--form" with "-F" to shorten the line a bit since it
was already very long.
And I also moved --form-escape from the "post" category to the "upload"
category (this is what I originally wanted to fix, before also noticing
the mistake in the example).
Closes#9298
This commit adds the dns category to the --resolve command line option,
because it can be interpreted as both: a low-level connection option and
an option related to the resolving of a hostname.
It is also not common for dns options to belong to the connection
category and vice versa. --ipv4 and --ipv6 are both good examples.
Closes#9229
On some systems, the gen.pl script takes nearly two minutes for the
generation of the main-page, which is a completely unacceptable time.
The slow performance has two causes:
1. Use of a regex locale operator
2. Useless invokations of loops
The commit addresses the first issue by replacing the "\W" wiht
[^a-zA-Z0-9_], which is, according to regex101.com, functionally
equivalent to the previous operation, except that it is obviously
limited to ASCII only, which is fine, as the curl project is
English-only anyway.
The second issue is being addressed by only running the loop if the line
contains a "--" in it. The loop may be completeley removed in the
future.

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
Prior to this change the doc said --max-time set the maximum time of the
'whole operation' which is not accurate. The option maps to
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS which sets maximum transfer time.
For example, the maximum time on a transfer is reset if the transfer is
retried (--retry).

Usage:
curl -x "socks5h://localhost/run/tor/socks" "https://example.com"
Updated runtests.pl to run a socksd server listening on unix socket

Instead of saying "This option overrides NNN", now say "This option is
mutually exclusive to NNN" in the generated man page ouput, as the
option does not in all cases actually override the others but they are
always mutually exclusive.

Mostly based on recent language decisions from "everything curl":
- remove contractions (isn't => is not)
- *an* HTTP (consistency)
- runtime (no hyphen)
- backend (no hyphen)
- URL is uppercase
Closes#8646
If a transfer returns an error, using this option makes curl remove the
leftover downloded (partial) local file before exiting.
Added test 376 to verify
Closes#8503
Recent changes added support for filename .curlrc on Windows, and
when it's not found curl falls back on the original Windows filename
_curlrc. _curlrc was removed from the doc, however it is still valid.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/8382
Adds these test cases:
383 - simple single command line option
384 - reading it from stdin
385 - getting two --json options on command line
386 - --next works after --json
Closes#8314
Previously it could mistakenly match partial names when there are
options that start with the same prefix, leading to the wrong references
used.
Closes#8299
As credentials can be quite different depending on the mechanism used,
there are no default mechanisms for LDAP and simple bind with a DN is
then used.
The caller has to provide mechanism(s) using CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS to
enable SASL authentication and disable simple bind.

Mesalink has ceased development. We can no longer encourage use of it.
It seems to be continued under the name TabbySSL, but no attempts have
(yet) been to make curl support it.

Remove the lines saying "protocols: all". It makes the output in the
manpage look funny, and the expectation is probably by default that if
not anything is mentioned about protocols the option apply to them all.
Closes#8021
gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a
command line option
All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167
"See alsos" added!

Treat consecutive lines that start with a space to be "examples". They
are output enclosed by .nf and .fi
Updated form.d to use this new fanciness
Closes#8016
Until now, form field and file names where escaped using the
backslash-escaping algorithm defined for multipart mails. This commit
replaces this with the percent-escaping method for URLs.
As this may introduce incompatibilities with server-side applications, a
new libcurl option CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS with bitmask
CURLMIMEOPT_FORMESCAPE is introduced to revert to legacy use of
backslash-escaping. This is controlled by new cli tool option
--form-escape.
New tests and documentation are provided for this feature.
