- Tells curl to figure out authentication method by itself, and use the most
- secure one the remote site claims to support. This is done by first doing a
- request and checking the response-headers, thus possibly inducing an extra
- network round-trip. This is used instead of setting a specific authentication
- method, which you can do with --basic, --digest, --ntlm, and --negotiate.
- Using --anyauth is not recommended if you do uploads from stdin, since it may
- require data to be sent twice and then the client must be able to rewind. If
- the need should arise when uploading from stdin, the upload operation will
- fail.
- Used together with --user.
