What's up with the -Y option?
It doesn't appear in the manual (except in an example invocation, in the
section on how to report bugs); but it does show up in --help:
-Y, --proxy explicitly turn on proxy.
--no-proxy explicitly turn off proxy.
The problem with that message is that it doesn't indicate the fact that
- -Y requires a boolean argument.
- -Y shows up in the option_data array as:
{ "proxy__compat", 'Y', OPT_VALUE, "useproxy", -1 },
/* back-compatible */
which to me indicates that it is not intended to be used any longer.
If this is the case, shouldn't it also be removed from the output of
- --help as well? Otherwise, what would be the best way to indicate that
it requires an argument?
I'm asking this question now, because with the --content-disposition doc
fixes I need to resubmit to the Translation Project anyway, so if we're
going to change the doc strings for -Y, now's a good time to get it done.
