# Experimental
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some features and functionality in curl and libcurl are considered
|
|
|
|
|
**EXPERIMENTAL**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Experimental support in curl means:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Experimental features are provided to allow users to try them out and
|
|
|
|
|
provide feedback on functionality and API etc before they ship and get
|
|
|
|
|
"carved in stone".

|
|
|
2. You must enable the feature when invoking configure as otherwise curl is
|
|
|
|
|
not built with the feature present.

|
|
|
3. We strongly advise against using this feature in production.
|
|
|
|
|
4. **We reserve the right to change behavior** of the feature without sticking
|
|
|
|
|
to our API/ABI rules as we do for regular features, as long as it is marked
|
|
|
|
|
experimental.
|
|
|
|
|
5. Experimental features are clearly marked so in documentation. Beware.
