- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--anyauth`
|
|
|
|
Tells curl to figure out authentication method by itself, and use the most
|
|
secure one the remote site claims to support. This is done by first doing a
|
|
request and checking the response-headers, thus possibly inducing an extra
|
|
network round-trip. This is used instead of setting a specific authentication
|
|
method, which you can do with --basic, --digest, --ntlm, and --negotiate.
|
|
|
|
Using --anyauth is not recommended if you do uploads from stdin, since it may
|
|
require data to be sent twice and then the client must be able to rewind. If
|
|
the need should arise when uploading from stdin, the upload operation fails.
|
|
|
|
Used together with --user.
