docs/libcurl/opts: clarify the return values

Expand a little.

- mention the type name of the return code
- avoid stating which exact return codes that might be returned, as that
  varies over time, builds and conditions
- avoid stating some always return OK
- refer to the manpage documenting all the return codes

Closes #15900

NAME

CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL - pipelining server block list

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLMcode curl_multi_setopt(CURLM *handle, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL,
                            char **servers);

DESCRIPTION

No function since pipelining was removed in 7.62.0.

Pass a servers array of char *, ending with a NULL entry. This is a list of server types prefixes (in the Server: HTTP header) that are blocked from pipelining, i.e server types that are known to not support HTTP pipelining. The array is copied by libcurl.

Note that the comparison matches if the Server: header begins with the string in the block list, i.e "Server: Ninja 1.2.3" and "Server: Ninja 1.4.0" can both be blocked by having "Ninja" in the list.

Pass a NULL pointer to clear the block list.

DEFAULT

NULL, which means that there is no block list.

EXAMPLE

static char *server_block_list[] =
{
  "Microsoft-IIS/6.0",
  "nginx/0.8.54",
  NULL
};
int main(void)
{
  CURLM *m = curl_multi_init();
  curl_multi_setopt(m, CURLMOPT_PIPELINING_SERVER_BL, server_block_list);
}

%AVAILABILITY%

RETURN VALUE

curl_multi_setopt(3) returns a CURLMcode indicating success or error.

CURLM_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see libcurl-errors(3).
