This commit adds the dns category to the --resolve command line option,
because it can be interpreted as both: a low-level connection option and
an option related to the resolving of a hostname.
It is also not common for dns options to belong to the connection
category and vice versa. --ipv4 and --ipv6 are both good examples.
Closes#9229
gen.pl now generates a warning if the "See Also" field is not filled in for a
command line option
All command line options now provide one or more related options. 167
"See alsos" added!
Closes#8019
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
Extend the syntax of CURLOPT_RESOLVE strings: allow using a '+' prefix
(similar to the existing '-' prefix for removing entries) to add
DNS cache entries that will time out just like entries that are added
by libcurl itself.
Append " (non-permanent)" to info log message in case a non-permanent
entry is added.
Adjust relevant comments to reflect the new behavior.
Adjust documentation.
Extend unit1607 to test the new functionality.
Closes#6294
This adds support for wildcard hosts in CURLOPT_RESOLVE. These are
try-last so any non-wildcard entry is resolved first. If specified,
any host not matched by another CURLOPT_RESOLVE config will use this
as fallback.
Example send a.com to 10.0.0.1 and everything else to 10.0.0.2:
curl --resolve *:443:10.0.0.2 --resolve a.com:443:10.0.0.1 \
https://a.comhttps://b.com
This is probably quite similar to using:
--connect-to a.com:443:10.0.0.1:443 --connect-to :443:10.0.0.2:443

This enables users to preresolve but still take advantage of happy
eyeballs and trying multiple addresses if some are not connecting.
Ref: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/2260
... so that IPv6 addresses can be passed like they can for connect-to
and how they're used in URLs.
Added test 1324 to verify
