curl

    1: Long: proto
    2: Arg: <protocols>
    3: Help: Enable/disable PROTOCOLS
    4: See-also: proto-redir proto-default
    5: Added: 7.20.2
    6: ---
    7: Tells curl to limit what protocols it may use in the transfer. Protocols are
    8: evaluated left to right, are comma separated, and are each a protocol name or
    9: \&'all', optionally prefixed by zero or more modifiers. Available modifiers are:
   10: .RS
   11: .TP 3
   12: .B +
   13: Permit this protocol in addition to protocols already permitted (this is
   14: the default if no modifier is used).
   15: .TP
   16: .B -
   17: Deny this protocol, removing it from the list of protocols already permitted.
   18: .TP
   19: .B =
   20: Permit only this protocol (ignoring the list already permitted), though
   21: subject to later modification by subsequent entries in the comma separated
   22: list.
   23: .RE
   24: .IP
   25: For example:
   26: .RS
   27: .TP 15
   28: .B --proto -ftps
   29: uses the default protocols, but disables ftps
   30: .TP
   31: .B  --proto -all,https,+http
   32: only enables http and https
   33: .TP
   34: .B --proto =http,https
   35: also only enables http and https
   36: .RE
   37: 
   38: Unknown protocols produce a warning. This allows scripts to safely rely on
   39: being able to disable potentially dangerous protocols, without relying upon
   40: support for that protocol being built into curl to avoid an error.
   41: 
   42: This option can be used multiple times, in which case the effect is the same
   43: as concatenating the protocols into one instance of the option.
