+Tells curl to figure out authentication method by itself, and use the most
+secure one the remote site claims to support. This is done by first doing a
+request and checking the response-headers, thus possibly inducing an extra
+network round-trip. This is used instead of setting a specific authentication
+method, which you can do with --basic, --digest, --ntlm, and --negotiate.
+
+Using --anyauth is not recommended if you do uploads from stdin, since it may

+Long: cacert
+Arg: <CA certificate>
+Help: CA certificate to verify peer against
+Protocols: TLS
+---
+Tells curl to use the specified certificate file to verify the peer. The file
+may contain multiple CA certificates. The certificate(s) must be in PEM
+format. Normally curl is built to use a default file for this, so this option
+is typically used to alter that default file.
+
+curl recognizes the environment variable named 'CURL_CA_BUNDLE' if it is
+set, and uses the given path as a path to a CA cert bundle. This option
+overrides that variable.
+
+The windows version of curl will automatically look for a CA certs file named
+\'curl-ca-bundle.crt\', either in the same directory as curl.exe, or in the
+Current Working Directory, or in any folder along your PATH.
+
+If curl is built against the NSS SSL library, the NSS PEM PKCS#11 module
+(libnsspem.so) needs to be available for this option to work properly.
+
+(iOS and macOS only) If curl is built against Secure Transport, then this
+option is supported for backward compatibility with other SSL engines, but it
+should not be set. If the option is not set, then curl will use the
+certificates in the system and user Keychain to verify the peer, which is the
+preferred method of verifying the peer's certificate chain.
+
+If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

+Long: config
+Arg: <file>
+Help: Read config from a file
+Short: K
+---
+Specify which config file to read curl arguments from. The config file is a
+text file in which command line arguments can be written which then will be
+used as if they were written on the actual command line.
+
+Options and their parameters must be specified on the same config file line,
+separated by whitespace, colon, or the equals sign. Long option names can
+optionally be given in the config file without the initial double dashes and
+if so, the colon or equals characters can be used as separators. If the option
+is specified with one or two dashes, there can be no colon or equals character
+between the option and its parameter.
+
+If the parameter is to contain whitespace, the parameter must be enclosed
+within quotes. Within double quotes, the following escape sequences are
+available: \\\\, \\", \\t, \\n, \\r and \\v. A backslash preceding any other
+letter is ignored. If the first column of a config line is a '#' character,
+the rest of the line will be treated as a comment. Only write one option per
+physical line in the config file.
+
+Specify the filename to --config as '-' to make curl read the file from stdin.
+
+Note that to be able to specify a URL in the config file, you need to specify
+it using the --url option, and not by simply writing the URL on its own
+line. So, it could look similar to this:
+
+url = "https://curl.haxx.se/docs/"
+
+When curl is invoked, it always (unless --disable is used) checks for a
+default config file and uses it if found. The default config file is checked
+for in the following places in this order:
+
+1) curl tries to find the "home dir": It first checks for the CURL_HOME and
+then the HOME environment variables. Failing that, it uses getpwuid() on
+Unix-like systems (which returns the home dir given the current user in your
+system). On Windows, it then checks for the APPDATA variable, or as a last
+resort the '%USERPROFILE%\\Application Data'.
+
+2) On windows, if there is no _curlrc file in the home dir, it checks for one
+in the same dir the curl executable is placed. On Unix-like systems, it will
+simply try to load .curlrc from the determined home dir.
+
+.nf

+Sends the specified data in a POST request to the HTTP server, in the same way
+that a browser does when a user has filled in an HTML form and presses the
+submit button. This will cause curl to pass the data to the server using the
+content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded. Compare to --form.
+
+--data-raw is almost the same but does not have a special interpretation of
+the @ character. To post data purely binary, you should instead use the
+--data-binary option. To URL-encode the value of a form field you may use
+--data-urlencode.
+
+If any of these options is used more than once on the same command line, the
+data pieces specified will be merged together with a separating
+&-symbol. Thus, using '-d name=daniel -d skill=lousy' would generate a post
+chunk that looks like \&'name=daniel&skill=lousy'.
+
+If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to
+read the data from, or - if you want curl to read the data from
+stdin. Multiple files can also be specified. Posting data from a file named
+'foobar' would thus be done with \fI--data\fP @foobar. When --data is told to
+read from a file like that, carriage returns and newlines will be stripped
+out. If you don't want the @ character to have a special interpretation use
+--data-raw instead.

+Help: Specify HTTP multipart POST data
+Protocols: HTTP

+---
+This lets curl emulate a filled-in form in which a user has pressed the submit
+button. This causes curl to POST data using the Content-Type
+multipart/form-data according to RFC 2388. This enables uploading of binary
+files etc. To force the 'content' part to be a file, prefix the file name with
+an @ sign. To just get the content part from a file, prefix the file name with
+the symbol <. The difference between @ and < is then that @ makes a file get
+attached in the post as a file upload, while the < makes a text field and just
+get the contents for that text field from a file.
+
+Example: to send an image to a server, where \&'profile' is the name of the
+form-field to which portrait.jpg will be the input:
+
+ curl -F profile=@portrait.jpg https://example.com/upload.cgi
+
+To read content from stdin instead of a file, use - as the filename. This goes
+for both @ and < constructs. Unfortunately it does not support reading the
+file from a named pipe or similar, as it needs the full size before the
+transfer starts.
+
+You can also tell curl what Content-Type to use by using 'type=', in a manner
+similar to:
+
+ curl -F "web=@index.html;type=text/html" example.com
+
+or
+
+ curl -F "name=daniel;type=text/foo" example.com
+
+You can also explicitly change the name field of a file upload part by setting
+filename=, like this:
+
+ curl -F "file=@localfile;filename=nameinpost" example.com
+
+If filename/path contains ',' or ';', it must be quoted by double-quotes like:
+
+ curl -F "file=@\\"localfile\\";filename=\\"nameinpost\\"" example.com
+
+or
+
+ curl -F 'file=@"localfile";filename="nameinpost"' example.com
+
+Note that if a filename/path is quoted by double-quotes, any double-quote
+or backslash within the filename must be escaped by backslash.
+
+See further examples and details in the MANUAL.
+
+This option can be used multiple times.

+
+Extra header to include in the request when sending HTTP to a server. You may
+specify any number of extra headers. Note that if you should add a custom
+header that has the same name as one of the internal ones curl would use, your
+externally set header will be used instead of the internal one. This allows
+you to make even trickier stuff than curl would normally do. You should not
+replace internally set headers without knowing perfectly well what you're
+doing. Remove an internal header by giving a replacement without content on
+the right side of the colon, as in: -H \&"Host:". If you send the custom
+header with no-value then its header must be terminated with a semicolon, such
+as \-H \&"X-Custom-Header;" to send "X-Custom-Header:".
+
+curl will make sure that each header you add/replace is sent with the proper
+end-of-line marker, you should thus \fBnot\fP add that as a part of the header
+content: do not add newlines or carriage returns, they will only mess things up
+for you.
+
+See also the --user-agent and --referer options.
+
+Starting in 7.37.0, you need --proxy-header to send custom headers intended
+for a proxy.
+
+Example:
+
+ curl -H "X-First-Name: Joe" http://example.com/
+
+\fBWARNING\fP: headers set with this option will be set in all requests - even
+after redirects are followed, like when told with \fB-L, --location\fP. This
+can lead to the header being sent to other hosts than the original host, so
+sensitive headers should be used with caution combined with following
+redirects.
+
+This option can be used multiple times to add/replace/remove multiple headers.
