- remove the version numbers
- simplify the texts
The date and version number will be put there for releases when maketgz
runs the updatemanpages.pl script.
Closes#11029
- 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
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
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://..."
Closes#5969

did not understand that some of those transfers may be queued and that
time is included in timeout.

... just say that limiting operations risk aborting otherwise fine
working transfers. If that means seconds, minutes or hours, we leave to
the user.

Closes#4469
... that are multiplied by 1000 when stored.
For 32 bit long systems, the max value accepted (2147483 seconds) is >
596 hours which is unlikely to ever be set by a legitimate application -
and previously it didn't work either, it just caused undefined behavior.
Also updated the man pages for these timeout options to mention the
return code.
Closes#1938
Change CURLOPT_TIMEOUT doc to warn that if CURLOPT_TIMEOUT and
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS are both set whichever one is set last is the one
that will be used.
Prior to this change that behavior was only noted in the
CURLOPT_TIMEOUT_MS doc.
