@item user-agent
This is a deprecated option, you can use user_agent instead it.
@item timeout
Set timeout in microseconds of socket I/O operations used by the underlying low level
operation. By default it is set to -1, which means that the timeout is
not specified.
@item reconnect_at_eof
If set then eof is treated like an error and causes reconnection, this is useful
for live / endless streams.

to 0 it won't, if set to -1 it will try to send if it is applicable. Default
value is -1.
@item auth_type
Set HTTP authentication type. No option for Digest, since this method requires
getting nonce parameters from the server first and can't be used straight away like
Basic.
@table @option
@item none
Choose the HTTP authentication type automatically. This is the default.
@item basic
Choose the HTTP basic authentication.
Basic authentication sends a Base64-encoded string that contains a user name and password
for the client. Base64 is not a form of encryption and should be considered the same as
sending the user name and password in clear text (Base64 is a reversible encoding).
If a resource needs to be protected, strongly consider using an authentication scheme
other than basic authentication. HTTPS/TLS should be used with basic authentication.
Without these additional security enhancements, basic authentication should not be used
to protect sensitive or valuable information.
