feat: Add GSSAPI/Kerberos (SPNEGO) support to libcurl build#19
Merged
Conversation
Add the 'gssapi' vcpkg feature on non-Windows platforms to enable SPNEGO/Negotiate authentication. On Windows, SSPI (already included) handles Negotiate, so gssapi is skipped there. Changes: - scripts/vcpkg-setup.js: conditionally inject 'gssapi' feature into vcpkg.json on Linux/macOS (vcpkg does not support curl[gssapi] on Windows) - install-system-packages: add krb5-dev (Alpine) and libkrb5-dev (Ubuntu) so vcpkg can link curl against system GSSAPI libraries Related: NeuraLegion/bright-cli#751 Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
