Tells curl to pass on names of multipart form fields and files using
backslash-escaping instead of percent-encoding.
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 2023-01-02 20:51:48 +08:00			`c: Copyright (C) Daniel Stenberg, <daniel@haxx.se>, et al.`
docs/cmdline-opts: add copyright and license identifier to each file gen.pl now insists on C: and SPDX-License-Identifier: fields to be present in all files. Closes #9002 2022-06-14 06:12:03 +08:00			`SPDX-License-Identifier: curl`
mime: use percent-escaping for multipart form field and file names 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.

docs/cmdline-opts: fix example and categories for --form-escape 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 2022-08-12 11:18:10 +08:00			`Category: http upload`
			`Example: --form-escape -F 'field\\name=curl' -F 'file=@load"this' $URL`
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 2022-10-18 16:39:43 +08:00			`Multi: single`
