#curl

When you‘re low on RAM, I recommend using a recent #curl for your internet transfers.

It can shuffle gigabytes back and forth using a few MB of your memory (mostly used by openssl).

If you develop an application, you can use #libcurl to gain its benefits.

Need to shape your traffic? For example bc you run a streaming service? #libcurl does that for you for all HTTP versions.

Today, twenty-nine awesome years ago, httpget 0.2 shipped. Unfortunately, both the source and the changelog for this release have been lost in time (like tears in rain).

httpget was the precursor to what later would become #curl

The internet, and the web, was different in 1996.

Five years ago I started getting these emails about #curl from NASA. Months later we learned this probably was related to them using curl in the Mars Helicopter mission.

curl supports NASA

Not everyone understands how open source is made. I received the following email from NASA a while ago. Subject: Curl Country of Origin and NDAA Compliance Hello, my name is [deleted] and I am a Supply Chain Risk Management Analyst at NASA.

We currently have three pending CVEs to be announced in the next #curl release (severity low + medium x 2)

All three found with AI powered tooling.

So it is happening.

Cartero looks solid!

But for a fair comparison, let's put #curl on the chart.

On this day six years ago, we learned that mr Robot curls:

Exactly three years later, still this date, we found a #curl sighting in the movie Silk Road:

Mr Robot curls

The Mr Robot TV series features a security expert and hacker lead character, Elliot. Season 4, episode 8 Vasilis Lourdas reported that he did a "curl sighting" in the show and very well I took a closer peek and what do we see some 37 minutes 36 secon…

Remember the AIxCC competition? After lots of research and triaging, the conclusion has landed: not a single *real* problem was found in #curl.

My previous write-up on the rather lame injected problems they found:

Your regular reminder that an #IPv4 address is just a 32-number, and yes, #curl accepts it as such.

A new Hackerone issue was submitted for #curl and I had it closed as not applicable within four minutes. A new personal record I believe.

(It will be disclosed asap.)

Today December 4, at 18:00 CET I will talk tiny #curl. With a bird-themed slide set!

tiny curl, December 4 2025, Daniel Stenberg
Smaller devices - a few megabytes of RAM and storage - don’t run Linux - often need fewer features - still need HTTPS done securely - often using HW vendors’ sample code

Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: tiny-curl 101: Secure Communication with a Small Footprint. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Join curl founder Daniel Stenberg on December 4th at 9 AM PT for a focused introduction to tiny-curl, the lightweight version of curl designed for resource-constrained environments and embedded users.

YES 🙌 It’s thanks to #curl that I’ve been able to install the superb #YunoHost on my VPS… and YunoHost has been life changing and incredibly empowering…

so thank you Daniel 🙏

Reminder. #curl runs in all your devices. So I made a slide to show some of them.

(yeah, I've used and shown this slide numerous times before and I will probably do it again...)

I was wondering whether #curl somehow does its own parsing of /etc/hosts, because it does something _very_ weird, and it seems it's c-ares who is guilty

On Thursday next week (Dec 4) I will do a tiny #curl webinar. Sign up for it here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

It will be made available on video after the fact.

tiny-curl is a libcurl flavor designed for the smaller devices. Same API. Same reliability. With some protocols and features cut out making a (much) smaller footprint. See curl.se/tiny/

just discovered that `curl --help` takes an optional category as an argument. nice! #curl

Interesting numbers.

#curl on my Linux machine can download a large file from http://localhost at 5.0GiB/sec. Pointing to the file:// version of the exact same file "only" increases the speed to .8.8GiB/sec.

So, curl doesn’t integrate with libsecret in any way? I assume that since there’s no discussion on the main mailing list of in the GitHub issues for it that I’m somehow being dumb thinking I want it.
If the service that I’m authenticating to uses basic auth, and I don’t want to store my passwords in a .netrc in my HOME or pass it in clear on the command-line, what are my best options?
