Sends the "Referrer Page" information to the HTTP server. This can also be set
with the --header flag of course. When used with --location you can append
";auto" to the --referer URL to make curl automatically set the previous URL
when it follows a Location: header. The ";auto" string can be used alone,
even if you do not set an initial --referer.
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`

docs: add categories to all cmdline opts Adapted gen.pl with 'listcats' This commit is a part of "--help me if you can" Closes #5680 2020-07-13 20:15:04 +08:00			`Category: http`
curl.1: provide examples for each option The file format for each option now features a "Example:" header that can provide one or more examples that get rendered appropriately in the output. All options MUST have at least one example or gen.pl complains at build-time. This fix also does a few other minor format and consistency cleanups. Closes #7654 2021-08-31 22:37:14 +08:00			`Example: --referer "https://fake.example" $URL`
			`Example: --referer "https://fake.example;auto" -L $URL`
			`Example: --referer ";auto" -L $URL`
cmdline-opts: made the 'Added:' field mandatory Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786 2021-09-28 17:50:07 +08:00			`Added: 4.0`
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`

docs: address proselint nits - avoid exclamation marks - use consistent number of spaces after periods: one - avoid clichés - avoid using 'very' Closes #8060 2021-11-26 15:46:59 +08:00			`with the --header flag of course. When used with --location you can append`

docs: reduce/avoid English contractions You're => You are Hasn't => Has not Doesn't => Does not Don't => Do not You'll => You will etc Closes #7930 2021-10-31 23:34:44 +08:00			`even if you do not set an initial --referer.`
