Closes#10205
Deprecation and removal of codeset conversion support from the library
have released the strict need for an early binding of mime structures to
an easy handle (https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/2610142).
This constraint currently forces to create the handle before the mime
structure and the latter cannot be attached to another handle once
created (see https://curl.se/mail/lib-2022-08/0027.html).
This commit removes the handle pointers from the mime structures
allowing more flexibility on their use.
When an easy handle is duplicated, bound mime structures must however
still be duplicated too as their components hold send-time dynamic
information.
Closes#9927
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
This is the same order we already enforce among the options' man pages:
consistency is good. Add lots of previously missing examples.
Adjust the manpage-syntax script for this purpose, used in test 1173.
Closes#7904
Since HTTPS is "the new normal", this update changes a lot of man page
examples to use https://example.com instead of the previous "http://..."
Closes#5969
