                     26: CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS \- do not handle dot dot sequences
                     27: .SH SYNOPSIS
                     28: #include <curl/curl.h>
                     29: 
                     30: CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS, long leaveit);
                     31: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     32: Set the long \fIleaveit\fP to 1, to explicitly tell libcurl to not alter the
                     33: given path before passing it on to the server.
                     34: 
                     35: This instructs libcurl to NOT squash sequences of "/../" or "/./" that may
                     36: exist in the URL's path part and that is supposed to be removed according to
                     37: RFC 3986 section 5.2.4.
                     38: 
                     39: Some server implementations are known to (erroneously) require the dot dot
                     40: sequences to remain in the path and some clients want to pass these on in
                     41: order to try out server implementations.
                     42: 
                     43: By default libcurl will merge such sequences before using the path.
