This is done by first doing a request and 22 checking the response-headers, thus possibly inducing an extra network 23 round-trip. This option is used instead of setting a specific authentication 24 method, which you can do with --basic, --digest, --ntlm, and --negotiate. 25 26 Using --anyauth is not recommended if you do uploads from stdin, since it may 27 require data to be sent twice and then the client must be able to rewind. If 28 the need should arise when uploading from stdin, the upload operation fails. 29 30 Used together with --user.
