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.

NAME

CURLOPT_PUT - make an HTTP PUT request

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PUT, long put);

DESCRIPTION

A parameter set to 1 tells the library to use HTTP PUT to transfer data. The data should be set with CURLOPT_READDATA(3) and CURLOPT_INFILESIZE(3).

This option is deprecated since version 7.12.1. Use CURLOPT_UPLOAD(3).

DEFAULT

0, disabled

EXAMPLE

static size_t read_cb(char *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, void *userdata)
{
  FILE *src = userdata;
  /* copy as much data as possible into the 'ptr' buffer, but no more than
     'size' * 'nmemb' bytes */
  size_t retcode = fread(ptr, size, nmemb, src);

  return retcode;
}

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    FILE *src = fopen("local-file", "r");
    curl_off_t fsize; /* set this to the size of the input file */

    /* we want to use our own read function */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READFUNCTION, read_cb);

    /* enable PUT */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PUT, 1L);

    /* specify target */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/dir/to/newfile");

    /* now specify which pointer to pass to our callback */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_READDATA, src);

    /* Set the size of the file to upload */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INFILESIZE_LARGE, (curl_off_t)fsize);

    /* Now run off and do what you have been told */
    curl_easy_perform(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Deprecated since 7.12.1. Do not use.

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
