The problem is that curl 8.3.0 removed the NSS backend, so we now
have no other choice than to use the bundled OpenSSL on Linux.
Currently any curl https connection fails with:
CurlSession.cxx:963: curl_easy_perform failed: (60) SSL certificate problem: unable to get local issuer certificate
Apparently this requires manually telling curl which CA certificates to
trust; there is a configure flag --with-ca-bundle but that is useless as
it tries to load the file relative to whatever is the current working
directory, and also did i mention that there are at least 3 different
locations where a Linux system may store its system trusted CA
certificates because ALL ABOUT CHOICE.
So add a new header with an init function to try out various file
locations listed in this nice blog article and call it from way too many
places that independently use curl.

TODO: perhaps bundle a cacert.pem as a fallback in case the system chose
to innovate by putting its certificates in yet another unexpected place

Miscellaneous Modules
This module contains a grab-bag of unrelated miscellaneous libraries, none of which is an extension.
Application Online Update Checking
When we start LO, first InitUpdateCheckJobThread is created, via
UpdateCheckJob::execute() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheckjob.cxx),
as a reaction to a onFirstVisibleTask event. It waits 25 seconds (so that it
does not interfere with the startup itself), and then calls
UpdateCheck::initialize() (from extensions/source/update/check/updatecheck.cxx).
This creates one more thread, UpdateCheckThread, that regularly checks whether
we have reached the time when we should ask for the update. If yes, asks for
that, and shows the download button in the menu (if the new update is
available).
The update server will decide if there is an update available based on the user-agent string created by UpdateInformationProvider::getUserAgent, the data used there is extracted from instdir/program/versionrc and the update server takes the buildid into account, so to experiment with the updates from a dev version getUserAgent needs to return a recognized id.
OLE Automation Bridge
A bridge between "OLE automation" and UNO, so you can use UNO services from JScript, VBScript, etc.
https://www.openoffice.org/udk/common/man/spec/ole_bridge.html
See udkapi/com/sun/star/bridge/oleautomation/ApplicationRegistration.idl
This is initialized in Desktop::Main() in Desktop::OpenClients_Impl()
by creating the service com.sun.star.bridge.OleApplicationRegistration,
which is implemented by OleServer_Impl.
See extensions/source/ole/
ActiveX Control
This allows embedding LO into a Win32 application as an ActiveX control.
See extensions/source/activex/
Spotlight Provider
On macOS, this allows indexing ODF documents with Spotlight.
See extensions/source/macosx/spotlight/
Scanner Support
You can scan from LibreOffice, using platform specific backends like TWAIN/SANE.
See extensions/source/scanner/
