--request-target: instead of --strip-path-slash
... and CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET instead of CURLOPT_STRIP_PATH_SLASH. This option instead provides the full "alternative" target to use in the request, instead of extracting the path from the URL. Test 1298 and 1299 updated accordingly. Idea-by: Evert Pot Suggestion: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2017/06/19/options-with-curl/comment-page-1/#comment-18373 Closes #1593

+Long: request-target
+Help: Specify the target for this request
+Protocols: HTTP
+---
+Tells curl to use an alternative "target" (path) instead of using the path as
+provided in the URL. Particularly useful when wanting to issue HTTP requests
+without leading slash or other data that doesn't follow the regular URL
+pattern, like "OPTIONS *".
