- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--ssl`
|
|
|
|
Warning: this is considered an insecure option. Consider using --ssl-reqd
|
|
instead to be sure curl upgrades to a secure connection.
|
|
|
|
Try to use SSL/TLS for the connection. Reverts to a non-secure connection if
|
|
the server does not support SSL/TLS. See also --ftp-ssl-control and --ssl-reqd
|
|
for different levels of encryption required.
|
|
|
|
This option is handled in LDAP (added in 7.81.0). It is fully supported by the
|
|
OpenLDAP backend and ignored by the generic ldap backend.
|
|
|
|
Please note that a server may close the connection if the negotiation does
|
|
not succeed.
|
|
|
|
This option was formerly known as --ftp-ssl (added in 7.11.0). That option
|
|
name can still be used but might be removed in a future version.
