docs/libcurl: generate PROTOCOLS from meta-data
Remove the PROTOCOLS section from the source files completely and
instead generate them based on the header data in the curldown files.

It also generates TLS backend information for options marked for TLS as
protocol.

# NAME
CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION - read callback for HSTS hosts
# SYNOPSIS
~~~c
#include <curl/curl.h>
struct curl_hstsentry {
char *name;
size_t namelen;
unsigned int includeSubDomains:1;
char expire[18]; /* YYYYMMDD HH:MM:SS [null-terminated] */
};
CURLSTScode hstsread(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts, void *clientp);
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hstsread);
~~~
# DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to your callback function, as the prototype shows above.
This callback function gets called by libcurl repeatedly when it populates the
in-memory HSTS cache.
Set the *clientp* argument with the CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA(3) option
or it is NULL.
When this callback is invoked, the *sts* pointer points to a populated
struct: Copy the hostname to *name* (no longer than *namelen*
bytes). Make it null-terminated. Set *includeSubDomains* to TRUE or
FALSE. Set *expire* to a date stamp or a zero length string for *forever*
(wrong date stamp format might cause the name to not get accepted)
The callback should return *CURLSTS_OK* if it returns a name and is
prepared to be called again (for another host) or *CURLSTS_DONE* if it has
no entry to return. It can also return *CURLSTS_FAIL* to signal
error. Returning *CURLSTS_FAIL* stops the transfer from being performed
and make *CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK* get returned.
This option does not enable HSTS, you need to use CURLOPT_HSTS_CTRL(3) to
do that.
# DEFAULT
NULL - no callback.
# EXAMPLE
~~~c
struct priv {
void *custom;
};
static CURLSTScode hsts_cb(CURL *easy, struct curl_hstsentry *sts,
void *clientp)
{
/* populate the struct as documented */
return CURLSTS_OK;
}
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
struct priv my_stuff;
CURLcode res;
/* set HSTS read callback */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADFUNCTION, hsts_cb);
/* pass in suitable argument to the callback */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_HSTSREADDATA, &my_stuff);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
~~~
# AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.74.0
# RETURN VALUE
This returns CURLE_OK.
