As to ALL vs DEFAULT, given that its manual page is riddled with a scary
warning:
This function must be called at least once within a program (a
program is all the code that shares a memory space) before the
program calls any other function in libcurl. The environment it sets
up is constant for the life of the program and is the same for every
program, so multiple calls have the same effect as one call. ... In
normal operation, you must specify CURL_GLOBAL_ALL. Don't use any
other value unless you are familiar with it and mean to control
internal operations of libcurl.
(speaking from a libcurl perspective)
The "warning" is just there to scare people into actually consider what they
want and understand that removing bits will change behavior. I would say
that's exactly what you've done and I don't think people here need to be
scared anymore! :-)
As for how ALL vs DEFAULT will act or differ in the future, I suspect that we
will end up having them being the same (even when we add bits) as we've
encouraged "ALL" in the documentation like this for quite some time.
