CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4 \- V4 signature
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_AWS_SIGV4,
char *providers_infos);
.SH DESCRIPTION
provides AWS V4 signature authentication on HTTPS header
The provider argument is a string that is merged to some authentication
parameters use by the algorithm.
It's used by "Algorithm", "date", "request type", "signed headers" arguments,
NOTE: This call set CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH to CURLAUTH_AWS_SIGV4.
Calling CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH with CURLAUTH_AWS_SIGV4 is the same as calling
this with "aws:amz" in paramater.
Example with "Test:Try", when curl will do the algorithm, it will Generate:
"TEST-HMAC-SHA256" for "Algorithm"
"x-try-date" and "X-Try-Date" for "date"
"test4_request" for "request type"
"SignedHeaders=content-type;host;x-try-date" for "signed headers"
If you use just "test", instead of "test:try",
test will be use for every strings generated

.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.

this option overrides the other auth types you might have set in CURL_HTTPAUTH which should be highlighted as this makes this auth method special. It could probably also be mentioned that this method can't be combined with other auth types.
