[MIRROR] bar.rpm: Curl error (1): Unsupported protocol for 
ssh://foo/tmp/bar.rpm [Protocol "ssh" not supported or disabled in libcurl]

I'm trying to work out if it's possible to make this work by adjusting
the dnf configuration.  I'm going to say _no_ because the list of
allowed protocols is hard-coded in a couple of places:

https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/b831cbd50bb04ace86a90c6e7202e271e7234e69/dnf/package.py#L292
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/blob/b831cbd50bb04ace86a90c6e7202e271e7234e69/dnf/repo.py#L635

However the error message seems to indicate that the restriction
is being enforced by curl itself using this mechanism:

https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROTOCOLS.html

I cannot see where dnf calls curlopt at all - perhaps it's in a
different library?

Anyway I think it'd be nice to support ssh, and should be safe.  (ftp
is allowed at the moment, so presumably security isn't high on the
list of current concerns).

Rich.
