  there we need libssh2 to properly tell us when we pass in a too small buffer

+1.6 native IDN support on macOS
+
+ On recent macOS versions, the getaddrinfo() function itself has built-in IDN
+ support. By setting the AI_CANONNAME flag, the function will return the
+ encoded namne in the ai_canonname struct field in the returned information.
+ This could be used by curl on macOS when built without a separate IDN library
+ and an IDN host name is used in a URL.

 1.7 Support HTTP/2 for HTTP(S) proxies
 
  Support for doing HTTP/2 to HTTP and HTTPS proxies is still missing.
