the best thing about that silly comment is that they expect you to see the White House say that C is insecure and then like... rewrite curl over the weekend in Rust?

First up, thanks for your hard work on curl.

Second, I’m going lean into PUT being at least as appropriate as POST on that ad.

so it is! Back in the day when I was still familiar with HTTP, I seem to recall that we considered it exotic and mostly used only for e.g. WebDAV but yeah it’s apparently just HTTP. Seems like a method people would often misuse

I'll introduce myself enough to say that I've been working on a Linux distro for 30 years. #curl is part of the core of this one and most others. There should be a curl flag to unfurl. Hm. Add a "--flag" switch.

One thing that curl needed was wcurl. wget is nice enough you bet. For decades both I did vet. They're fraternal twins, I see, born in 1996, the years doesn't sticks, it can't be 28 years, I have socks5 older than that. But now with wcurl there is no excuse for anybody not to give curl a whirl.
