It is already *seven* years ago since Microsoft first announced they would start distributing #curl as part of Windows:

Microsoft curls too

On December 19 2017, Microsoft announced that since insider build 17063 of Windows 10, curl is now a default component.

I seem to recall the Windows curl having problems like being (very) outdated or having bugs that normally aren't there. Is this still an issue you think, or is the shipped curl version "good enough" nowadays?

@codecat it is usually mostly pretty synced with upstream, but they make a few build decisions that may matter. I keep this document updated to explain what they ship: curl.se/windows/microsoft.html

curl shipped by Microsoft

@codecat I personally do everything to override Windows' curl because it's outdated in general, and I update it manually like every year or so

Sad to read in it that the curl alias is apparently still a thing?

Also, from that document:

Public Suffic List (PSL)


Shouldn't that be "Suffix" with an x?

This made my life so much easier. It is a pain to install additional software on our systems, so even an older version of curl is always helpful
