It does open up a miniscule risk that one of the other protocols that
libcurl could use would send back a Content-Disposition header and then
curl would act on it even if not HTTP.
A future mitigation for this risk would be to allow the callback to ask
libcurl which protocol is being used.
Verified with test 1312
Closes#760
This script now also scans src/tool_getparam.c, docs/curl.1 and
src/tool_help.c and will warn if any of them lists a command line option
not mentioned in one of the other places.
In commit 2e42b0a252 (Jan 2008) we made the option "--socks" deprecated
and it has not been documented since. The more explicit socks options
(like --socks4 or --socks5) should be used.
Previously, connections were closed immediately before the user had a
chance to extract the socket when the proxy required Negotiate
authentication.
This regression was brought in with the security fix in commit
79b9d5f1a4Closes#655
While being debated (in #716) and a violation of RFC 7230 section 5.4,
this test verifies that the existing functionality works as intended. It
strips the dot from the host name and uses the host without dot
throughout the internals.
Adding support for IRIs is a mouthful, but is probably interesting at
least for areas and countries where the use of such "URLs" are growing
popularity.
Closes#776
The underlying libcurl option used for this feature is
CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS which has the ability to retry the dir
creation, but it was never set to do that by the command line tool.
Now it does.

These configure vars are modified in a curl-specific way but never
evaluated or loaded from cache, even though they are designated as
_cv_. We could either implement proper AC_CACHE_CHECKs for them, or
remove them completely.
Fixes#603 as ac_cv_func_gethostbyname is no longer clobbered, and
AC_CHECK_FUNC(gethostbyname...) will no longer spuriously succeed after
the first configure run with caching.
`ac_cv_func_strcasecmp` is curious, see #770.
`eval "ac_cv_func_$func=yes"` can still cause problems as it works in
tandem with AC_CHECK_FUNCS and then potentially modifies its result. It
would be best to rewrite this test to use a new CURL_CHECK_FUNCS macro,
which works the same as AC_CHECK_FUNCS but relies on caching the values
of curl_cv_func_* variables, without modifiying ac_cv_func_*.
These configure vars are modified in a curl-specific way and modified by
the configure process, but are never loaded from cache, even though they
are designated as _cv_. We should implement proper AC_CACHE_CHECKs for
them eventually.
This variable must not be cached in its current form, as any cached
information will prevent the next configure run from determining the
correct LIBS needed for the function. Thus, rename prefix `ac_cv_` to
just `curl_`.
