The former way that also suggested using a non-existing file to just
enable the cookie engine could lead to developers maybe a bit carelessly
guessing a file name that will not exist, and then in a future due to
circumstances, such a file could be made to exist and then accidentally
libcurl would read cookies not actually meant to.

Closes#9654
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
This is how the RFC calls the protocol. Also rename the file in docs/ to
WEBSOCKET.md in uppercase to match how we have done it for many other
protocol docs in similar fashion.
Add the WebSocket docs to the tarball.
Closes#9496
Next Protocol Negotiation is a TLS extension that was created and used
for agreeing to use the SPDY protocol (the precursor to HTTP/2) for
HTTPS. In the early days of HTTP/2, before the spec was finalized and
shipped, the protocol could be enabled using this extension with some
servers.
curl supports the NPN extension with some TLS backends since then, with
a command line option `--npn` and in libcurl with
`CURLOPT_SSL_ENABLE_NPN`.
HTTP/2 proper is made to use the ALPN (Application-Layer Protocol
Negotiation) extension and the NPN extension has no purposes
anymore. The HTTP/2 spec was published in May 2015.
Today, use of NPN in the wild should be extremely rare and most likely
totally extinct. Chrome removed NPN support in Chrome 51, shipped in
June 2016. Removed in Firefox 53, April 2017.
Closes#9307
Lintian (on Debian) has been complaining about this for a while but
I didn't bother initially as the groff parser that we use is not
affected by this.
But I have now noticed that the online manpage is affected by it:
https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_WILDCARDMATCH.html
(I'm using double quotes for quoting-only down below)
The section that should be parsed as "'\'" ends up being parsed as
"'´".
This is due to roffit not parsing "'\\'" correctly, which is fine
as the "correct" way of writing "'\'" is "'\e'" instead.
Note that this fix is not enough to fix the online manpage at
curl's website, as roffit seems to parse it wrongly either way.
My intent is to at least fix the manpage so that roffit can
be changed to parse "'\e'" correctly (although I suggest making
roffit parse both ways correctly, since that's what groff does).

- Support TLS 1.3 as the default max TLS version for Windows Server 2022
and Windows 11.
- Support specifying TLS 1.3 ciphers via existing option
CURLOPT_TLS13_CIPHERS (tool: --tls13-ciphers).

Starting now, CURLOPT_FTP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT is the alias instead of the
other way around.
Since 7.20.0, CURLOPT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT has existed as an alias
but since the option is for more protocols than FTP the more "correct"
version of the option is the "server" one so now we switch.
Closes#9104
... as replacements for deprecated CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS and
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS as these new ones do not risk running into the
32 bit limit the old ones are facing.
CURLINFO_PROTCOOL is now deprecated.
The curl tool is updated to use the new options.
Added test 1597 to verify the libcurl protocol parser.
Closes#8992
During the packaging of the latest curl release for Debian, Lintian
warned me about a typo which causes the section name "Secrets in memory"
to not be rendered in the manpage due to "SH_" not being recognized as a
header.
Closes#9057
.. and update some docs to explain curl_global_* is now thread-safe.
Follow-up to 23af112 which made curl_global_init/cleanup thread-safe.
Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/9016
- Remove misleading text that says progress function "gets called at
least once per second, even if the connection is paused."
The progress function behavior is more nuanced and the user is better
served reading the progress function doc rather than attempt to explain
it in the curl_easy_pause doc.
The progress function can only be called at least once per second if an
appropriate multi transfer function is called (eg curl_multi_perform) in
that time. For a paused transfer there may not be such a call. Rather
than explain this in detail in the curl_easy_pause doc, rely on the user
reading the CURLOPT_PROGRESSFUNCTION doc.
