this is a problem for you and how your use case can't be satisfied properly
using a work around.
-## `CURLOPT_DNS_USE_GLOBAL_CACHE`
-
-This option makes libcurl use a global non-thread-safe cache for DNS if
-enabled. The option has been marked as "obsolete" in the header file and in
-documentation for several years already.
-
-There's proper and safe method alternative provided since many years: the
-share API.
-
-### State
-
-In curl 7.62.0 setting this option to TRUE will not have any effect. The
-global cache will not be enabled. The code still remains so it is easy to
-revert if need be.
-
-### Removal
-
-Remove all global-cache related code from curl around April 2019 (might be
-7.66.0).

## HTTP/0.9
Supporting this is non-obvious and might even come as a surprise to some

.SH DESCRIPTION
+Has no function since 7.62.0. Do note use!
+
Pass a long. If the \fIenable\fP value is 1, it tells curl to use a global DNS
cache that will survive between easy handle creations and deletions. This is
not thread-safe and this will use a global variable.
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
-Subject for removal in the future. Do not use!
+Deprecated since 7.62.0. Has no function.
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
