This rather complex feature solves a problem for certain web services that require a cookie or token for access, especially one which must be periodically renewed. For motivation on this see the included documentation, and item (1)(b) here: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-July/msg00069.html --- plugins/curl/nbdkit-curl-plugin.pod | 120 +++++++++++ plugins/curl/Makefile.am

This is an RFC only, at the very least it lacks tests. This implements a rather complex new feature in nbdkit-curl-plugin allowing you to specify an external shell script that can be used to fetch an authorization token for services which requires a token or cookie for access, especially if that token must be renewed periodically. The motivation can be seen in the changes to the docs in patch 2.

Evolution of this patch series: https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2020-July/thread.html#00073 Instead of auth-script, this implements header-script and cookie-script. It can be used for similar purposes but the implementation is somewhat saner. Rich.
