docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data

Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

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

Closes #13175

NAME

CURLOPT_HEADEROPT - send HTTP headers to both proxy and host or separately

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long that is a bitmask of options of how to deal with headers. The two mutually exclusive options are:

CURLHEADER_UNIFIED - the headers specified in CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) are used in requests both to servers and proxies. With this option enabled, CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3) does not have any effect.

CURLHEADER_SEPARATE - makes CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) headers only get sent to a server and not to a proxy. Proxy headers must be set with CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3) to get used. Note that if a non-CONNECT request is sent to a proxy, libcurl sends both server headers and proxy headers. When doing CONNECT, libcurl sends CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER(3) headers only to the proxy and then CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER(3) headers only to the server.

DEFAULT

CURLHEADER_SEPARATE (changed in 7.42.1, used CURLHEADER_UNIFIED before then)

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode ret;
    struct curl_slist *list;
    list = curl_slist_append(NULL, "Shoesize: 10");
    list = curl_slist_append(list, "Accept:");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, list);

    /* HTTPS over a proxy makes a separate CONNECT to the proxy, so tell
       libcurl to not send the custom headers to the proxy. Keep them
       separate! */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HEADEROPT, CURLHEADER_SEPARATE);
    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_slist_free_all(list);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.37.0

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
