It is a security process for HTTP.
It doesn't seems to be standard, but it is used by some cloud providers.

GCP (I didn't test that this code work with GCP though):
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/access-control/signing-urls-manually
most of the code is in lib/http_v4_signature.c
Information require by the algorithm:
- The URL
- Current time
- some prefix that are append to some of the signature parameters.
The data extracted from the URL are: the URI, the region,
the host and the API type
example:
https://api.eu-west-2.outscale.com/api/latest/ReadNets
~~~ ~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
^ ^ ^
/ \ URI
API type region
Small description of the algorithm:
- make canonical header using content type, the host, and the date
- hash the post data
- make canonical_request using custom request, the URI,
the get data, the canonical header, the signed header
and post data hash
- hash canonical_request
- make str_to_sign using one of the prefix pass in parameter,
the date, the credential scope and the canonical_request hash
- compute hmac from date, using secret key as key.
- compute hmac from region, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from api_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from request_type, using above hmac as key
- compute hmac from str_to_sign using above hmac as key
- create Authorization header using above hmac, prefix pass in parameter,
the date, and above hash

Closes#5703
This option sets the (octal) mode to use for the remote file when one is
created, using the SFTP, SCP or FILE protocols. When not set, the
default is 0644.
Closes#6244
The command line tool also independently sets --ftp-skip-pasv-ip by
default.
Ten test cases updated to adapt the modified --libcurl output.

The function has been removed from common usage. Also removed comment in
gopher.c that still referenced it.

Fixes#6242Closes#6243
Add files that are generated by 'make examples' and remove some that
have been renamed.
The commits that renamed the programs are e9625c5bc6 (imap.c and
simplesmtp.c were renamed to imap-fetch.c and smtp-send.c) and
ad39e7ec01 (pop3slist.c and pop3s.c were renamed to pop3-list.c and
pop3-ssl.c).
Closes#6240
By differentiating between ON and AUTO it can make a missing zlib
library a hard error when CURL_ZLIB=ON is used.

The limit is there to catch mistakes and abuse. It is meant to be large
enough to allow virtually all "fine" use cases.
