IMO this is unclear. deprecated means still supported but going to be removed eventually. while that may be true of the option's name it's not true of the option's function which has been removed. After rereading this it looks like you are saying any recent OpenSSL it has no effect so probably clearer as "Deprecated option. This option is ignored by curl since 7.83.0. Prior to that it only had an effect on old versions of OpenSSL." |
The AVAILABILITY section in the bottom has the exact version information.
I'll see how I can get that info added to the page. |
I was referring to the curl tool options |

These two options were only ever used for the OpenSSL backend for versions before 1.1.0. They were never used for other backends and they are not used with recent OpenSSL versions. They were never used much by applications. The defines RANDOM_FILE and EGD_SOCKET can still be set at build-time for ancient EOL OpenSSL versions.
As libcurl no longer has any functionality for them, the toll now does nothing with them.
