 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Pass a long set to 1 to enable libcurl's certificate chain info gatherer. With
-this enabled, libcurl (if built with OpenSSL, NSS or GSKit) will
-extract lots of information and data about the certificates in the certificate
-chain used in the SSL connection. This data may then be retrieved after a
-transfer using \fIcurl_easy_getinfo(3)\fP and its option
-\fICURLINFO_CERTINFO\fP.
