+   HTTP offers many different methods of authentication and curl supports
+   several: Basic, Digest, NTLM and Negotiate. Without telling which method to
+   use, curl defaults to Basic. You can also ask curl to pick the most secure
+   ones out of the ones that the server accepts for the given URL, by using
+   --anyauth.

    NOTE! Since HTTP URLs don't support user and password, you can't use that
    style when using Curl via a proxy. You _must_ use the -u style fetch
    during such circumstances.
