Items to be removed from future curl releases

If any of these deprecated features is a cause for concern for you, please email the curl-library mailing list as soon as possible and explain to us why this is a problem for you and how your use case can't be satisfied properly using a work around.

CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE

This option makes libcurl use a global non-thread-safe cache for DNS if enabled. The option has been marked as "obsolete" in the header file and in documentation for several years already.

There's proper and safe method alternative provided since many years: the share API.

State

In curl 7.62.0 setting this option to TRUE will not have any effect. The global cache will not be enabled. The code still remains so it is easy to revert if need be.

Removal

Remove all global-cache related code from curl around April 2019 (might be 7.66.0).

HTTP/0.9

Supporting this is non-obvious and might even come as a surprise to some users. Potentially even being a security risk in some cases.

State

curl 7.64.0 introduces options to disable/enable support for this protocol version. The default remains supported for now.

Removal

The support for HTTP/0.9 will be switched to disabled by default in 6 months, in the September 2019 release (possibly called curl 7.68.0).
