+Pass \fIversion\fP a long, set to one of the values described below. They ask
+libcurl to use the specific HTTP versions. This is not sensible to do unless
+you have a good reason. You have to set this option if you want to use
libcurl's HTTP/2 support.
+Note that the HTTP version is just a request. libcurl will still prioritize to
+re-use an existing connection so it might then re-use a connection using a
+HTTP version you haven't asked for.

.IP CURL_HTTP_VERSION_NONE
