docs/cmdline: change to .md for cmdline docs - 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

copyright: update all copyright lines and remove year ranges - 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

cmdline/docs: add a required 'multi' keyword for each option 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

# `--request-target`
cmdline-opts: language cleanups Use imperative mood consistently for the first sentence describing an option. "Set this" instead "tell curl to set" or "this sets..." Plus some extra cleanups and rephrasing. Closes #13106

Use an alternative target (path) instead of using the path as provided in the
URL. Particularly useful when wanting to issue HTTP requests without leading
slash or other data that does not follow the regular URL pattern, like
"OPTIONS *".
docs: clarify that curl passes on input unfiltered ... for several options. Reported-by: Ophir Lojkine Closes #12249
2023-11-02 20:05:10 +08:00
curl passes on the verbatim string you give it its the request without any
filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.
