Figure out authentication method automatically, 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 option 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 fails.

|
|
|

|

|
Used together with --user.
