+.TH CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.42.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS \- do not handle dot dot sequences
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PATH_AS_IS, leaveit);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+By setting the long \fIleavit\fP to 1, to explicitly tell libcurl to not alter
+the given path before passing it on to the server.
+
+This tells libcurl to NOT squash sequences of "/../" or "/./" that may exist
+in the URL's path part and that is supposed to be removed according to RFC
+3986 section 5.2.4.
+
+Some server implementations are known to (erroneously) require the dot dot
+sequences to remain in the path and some clients want to pass these on in
+order to try out server implementations.
+
+By default libcurl will merge such sequences before using the path.
+.SH DEFAULT
+0
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All
