setopt: add CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR and CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR
... as replacements for deprecated CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS and
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS as these new ones do not risk running into the
32 bit limit the old ones are facing.

CURLINFO_PROTCOOL is now deprecated.

The curl tool is updated to use the new options.

Added test 1597 to verify the libcurl protocol parser.

Closes #8992

.TH CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR 3 "19 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR \- protocols allowed to redirect to
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR,
char *spec);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a string that holds a comma-separated list of case
insensitive protocol names (URL schemes). That list limits what protocols
libcurl may use in a transfer that it follows to in a redirect when
\fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP is enabled. This option allows applications to
limit specific transfers to only be allowed to use a subset of protocols in
redirections.
Protocols denied by \fICURLOPT_PROTOCOLS_STR(3)\fP are not overridden by this
option.
By default libcurl will allow HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS on redirects (since
7.65.2). Older versions of libcurl allowed all protocols on redirect except
several disabled for security reasons: Since 7.19.4 FILE and SCP are disabled,
and since 7.40.0 SMB and SMBS are also disabled.
These are the available protocols:
DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS,
POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTMPE, RTMPS, RTMPT, RTMPTE, RTMPTS, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB,
SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP
You can set "ALL" as a short-cut to enable all protocols. Note that by setting
all, you may enable protocols that were not supported the day you write this
but are introduced in a future libcurl version.
If trying to set a non-existing protocol or if no matching protocol at all is
set, it returns error.
.SH DEFAULT
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS (Added in 7.65.2).
Older versions defaulted to all protocols except FILE, SCP and since 7.40.0
SMB and SMBS.
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
/* pass in the URL from an external source */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, argv[1]);
/* only allow redirects to HTTP and HTTPS URLs */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REDIR_PROTOCOLS_STR, "http,https");
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.85.0.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
