cURL with SFTP support

[auro1]

Hi.

Could we please have the curl for this buildpack support SFTP? It would make my life sooo much easier 👍

[stof]

what is necessary for that ?

[auro1]

To connect to an SFTP server via a proxy (not supported by phpseclib or ext-ssh2) from Heroku to a static ip as a service (QuotaGuard Static) and then to a server with a firewall that has an IP whitelist.

I'm asking what is necessary in the compilation of the curl extension to support that, not why you need it

[auro1]

Compile curl against libssh2 - see ref 1

Well, we don't compile curl ourselves. We rely on the library provided by heroku in their dynos natively
