Output specific components from the used URL. The following variables
are added for this purpose:
url.scheme, url.user, url.password, url.options, url.host, url.port,
url.path, url.query, url.fragment, url.zoneid
Add the following for outputting parts of the "effective URL":
urle.scheme, urle.user, urle.password, urle.options, urle.host, urle.port,
urle.path, urle.query, urle.fragment, urle.zoneid
Added test 423 and 424 to verify.

The real xdg config path is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/curlrc, without the dot.
The dotless name seems preferable, so let's match the documentation to
the behavior.
Closes#10849
Here somehow you need to put more than one URL in these examples, else
they will make no sense, as --rate only affects the second and beyond
URLs. The first URL will always finish the same time no matter what
--rate is given.
Closes#10638
Instead of using "multi: boolean", as these are slightly special as in
they do are not enable/disable ones.

The documentation of `%{header_json}` missed to mention since which
version this variable for `--write-out` is present.
Based on commit https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/4133a69f2daa476bb
we can determine from the tags were this commit is present that the
first version to include it was `7.83.0`.
This could be also checked with:
`git tag --contains 4133a69f2daa476bb6d902687f1dd6660ea9c3c5`
Closes#10395
- Clarify that in Windows batch files the % must be escaped as %%, and
at the command prompt it cannot be escaped which could lead to
incorrect expansion.
Prior to this change the doc implied % must be escaped as %% in win32
always.
---
Examples showing how a write-out argument is received by curl:
If curl --write-out "%{http_code}" is executed in a batch file:
{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%%{http_code}" is executed in a batch file:
%{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%{http_code}" is executed from the command prompt:
%{http_code}
If curl --write-out "%%{http_code}" is executed from the command prompt:
%%{http_code}
At the command prompt something like "%{speed_download}%{http_code}"
would first be parsed by the command interpreter as %{speed_download}%
and would be expanded as environment variable {speed_download} if it
existed, though that's highly unlikely since Windows environment names
don't use braces.

- 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
- CURL_GLOBAL_SSL
This option was changed in libcurl 7.57.0 and clearly it has not caused
too many issues and a lot of time has passed.
- Store TLS context per transfer instead of per connection
This is a possible future optimization. One that is much less important
and interesting since the added support for CA caching.
- Microsoft telnet server
This bug was filed in May 2007 against curl 7.16.1 and we have not
received further reports.
- active FTP over a SOCKS
Actually, proxies in general is not working with active FTP mode. This
is now added in proxy documentation.
- DICT responses show the underlying protocol
curl still does this, but since this is now an established behavior
since forever we cannot change it easily and adding an option for it
seems crazy as this protocol is not so little its not worth it. Let's
just live with it.
- Secure Transport disabling hostname validation also disables SNI
This is an already documented restriction in Secure Transport.
- CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION not called with CURLFORM_STREAM
The curl_formadd() function is marked and documented as deprecated. No
point in collecting bugs for it. It should not be used further.
- STARTTRANSFER time is wrong for HTTP POSTs
After close source code inspection I cannot see how this is true or that
there is any special treatment for different HTTP methods. We also have
not received many further reports on this, making me strongly suspect
that this is no (longer an) issue.
- multipart formposts file name encoding
The once proposed RFC 5987-encoding is since RFC 7578 documented as MUST
NOT be used. The since then implemented MIME API allows the user to set
the name on their own and can thus provide it encoded as it wants.
- DoH is not used for all name resolves when enabled
It is questionable if users actually want to use DoH for interface and
FTP port name resolving. This restriction is now documented and we
advice users against using name resolving at all for these functions.
Closes#10043
- "FTP with CONNECT and slow server"
I believe this is not a problem these days.
- "FTP with NULs in URL parts"
The FTP protocol does not support them properly anyway.
- remove "FTP and empty path parts in the URL"
I don't think this has ever been reported as a real problem but was only
a hypothetical one.
- "Premature transfer end but healthy control channel"
This is not a bug, this is an optimization that *could* be performed but is
not an actual problem.
- "FTP without or slow 220 response"
Instead add to the documentation of the connect timeout that the
connection is considered complete at TCP/TLS/QUIC layer.

Makes curl always use dot as decimal separator for options,
independently of what the locale says. Makes scripts and command lines
portable.
Updated docs accordingly.

Improved logic for finding existing --options in text and replacing with
the full version with nroff syntax. This also makes the web version link
options better.

Fixes#9899Closes#9902
This option adds a piece of data, usually a name + value pair, to the
end of the URL query part. The syntax is identical to that used for
--data-urlencode with one extension:
If the argument starts with a '+' (plus), the rest of the string is
provided as-is unencoded.
This allows users to "build" query parts with options and URL encoding
even when not doing GET requests, which the already provided option -G
(--get) is limited to.
This idea was born in a Twitter thread.
Closes#9691
If a command line option is in many help categories, there is a risk
that CURLHELP bitmask source lines generated for listhelp are longer
than 79 characters.
This change takes care of folding such long lines.
Cloes #9834
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
They were previously (erroneously) added manually to tool_listhelp.c
which would make them get removed again when the file is updated next
time, unless added correctly here in header.d
Follow-up to 2437fac01Closes#9690
The introduction of CURL_DISABLE_MIME came with some additional bugs:
- Disabled MIME is compiled-in anyway if SMTP and/or IMAP is enabled.
- CURLOPT_MIMEPOST, CURLOPT_MIME_OPTIONS and CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER are
conditioned on HTTP, although also needed for SMTP and IMAP MIME mail
uploads.
In addition, the CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER and --header documentation does not
mention their use for MIME mail.
This commit fixes the problems above.
Closes#9610
