From 9b167fd090f596eac828817d48c247eeae53407f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 23:35:08 +0200 Subject: --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.
