.IP SRP
TLS-SRP authentication. Secure Remote Password authentication for TLS is
defined in RFC5054 and provides mutual authentication if both sides have a
shared secret. To use TLS-SRP, you must also set the
-\fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_USERNAME(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_TLSAUTH_PASSWORD(3)\fP
-options.

You need to build libcurl with GnuTLS or OpenSSL with TLS-SRP support for this
to work.
