It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(res == CURLE_OK) {
      long req;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_REQUEST_SIZE, &req);
      if(!res)
        printf("Request size: %ld bytes\n", req);
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
