Message-ID: <71f8b71b346f132d0dc9a23c9a7f2ca2cb91966f.1541735051.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To: <pull.69.v8.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Force Charlie <charlieio@outlook.com>

Usually we don't need to set libcurl to choose which version of the HTTP protocol to use to communicate with a server. But different versions of libcurl, the default value is not the same.

CURL >= 7.62.0: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_2TLS CURL < 7.62: CURL_HTTP_VERSION_1_1

In order to give users the freedom to control the HTTP version, we need to add a setting to choose which HTTP version to use.
