Me neither - so I looked it up at https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html https://curl.se/docs/manpage.html With the equals it means only allow the named protocols.

  What would be allowed after SSL? By default, does curl allow redirects to http:// http:// via -L? If so.. that's kinda sketchy from a security perspective. Especially because the flag you've shown is very unwieldy.

    curl will not follow any redirects without -L, including from http to https. But -L is very useful, so being able to prevent downgrades has useful functionality to help restrict it.

      This has nothing to do with what I'm attempting to discuss.
