So far it looks like libcurl uses OpenLDAP with LDAP_SASL_SIMPLE as the authentication type (openldap.c:275). Am I reading this correct in that libcurl does not support other authentication mechanisms (GSSAPI, Digest, MD5, etc.) or is this done via a different way?
That matches what I see as well, and no there's no other mechanism to control the LDAP auth. We just haven't implemented support for anything else.
Is there any plans in the future to add support for these?
Our project doesn't really work like that. We're just a large bunch of individuals who like a good transfer library and we all work on and improve things we want to work on - there's a ROADMAP document in the source tree with ideas a few of us want to get done in the near term but there's no LDAP stuff there. There's also a TODO document with ideas in the source tree, but it doesn't mention a lot of LDAP details.
This said, feel free to join in and help us improve in this area! libcurl only gets as good as we can make it.
