@b0rk @icing it is a certainly a pile of legacy... things that keep it together. Anything particular you get stuck on that I might be able to help with?
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (IVA, the same org that selects winners for three of the Nobel prize categories) awards me a gold medal 2025 for my work on curl.
I use curl all over the place, but for quick CLI usage, I had been using HTTPie, for its simple API and pretty output. But, now, they’re even going the way of Postman and adding tons of unnecessary features and AI to their tools. 😮💨
@b0rk @icing oh right. Do this: in the 'cvssource' directory that is a curl source tree: build curl there, using configure or cmake. The website build looks for some artifacts from a "real" curl build, for example the rendered manpage curl.1
@b0rk @icing oh no, you’re maintaining parallel build systems. Are you attempting to migrate away from autotools to CMake (or vice versa), or does curl just build so many places that a complete migration in either direction is impractical-to-impossible?
Huh, somehow never thought of putting curl into scripts inside a directory for documentation instead of postman/insomnia collections. I could also > the response into response files so that I can check them anytime without running the request again.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •oh so *that's* what people use "postman" for! I was wondering what all the fuss was about
Spare a thought for the real-life #postman instead folks. (As you #cURL up in your cozy console) 📮
