TODO: remove ancient entries no longer considered
- TCP Fast Open support on Windows TFO doesn't really work on the internet and isn't really used anywhere. We use QUIC now. - get rid of PATH_MAX Not a priority and when using 3rd party libraries not really up to us. - auto-detect proxy A dream we can just stop having. - config file parsing Let's not do that in our library. - add asynch getaddrinfo support Let's not add a limited glibc specific backend with bad API - FTP HOST If we managed this far without name based vhost FTP, let's not. Closes #19890

## TCP Fast Open support on Windows
|
||||
|
||||
libcurl supports the `CURLOPT_TCP_FASTOPEN` option since 7.49.0 for Linux and
|
||||
macOS. Windows supports TCP Fast Open starting with Windows 10, version 1607
|
||||
and we should add support for it.
|
||||
|
||||
TCP Fast Open is supported on several platforms but not on Windows. Work on
|

this was once started but never finished.

## get rid of PATH_MAX

## auto-detect proxy
|

libcurl could be made to detect the system proxy setup automatically and use

that. On Windows, macOS and Linux desktops for example.

The [pull-request to use *libproxy*](https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/977)
