Since "too old" versions are no longer included in the generated man page, this field is now mandatory so that it won't be forgotten and then not included in the documentation. Closes #7786

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 will
|
|
fail.

|
|
Used together with --user.
