decomplexifying #curl
daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/10/27…
(I wrote about this topic in my weekly email this week. This is the blog version, somewhat extended.) Easy to read Two contributing factors that make code hard to read are function length and function complexity.daniel.haxx.se
QUIC backends use flow control windows initially set to 128KB. In #14880, the maximum size used by the quiche backend was increased to 1280KB, but that of the ngtcp2 backend remained at 128KB. With...GitHub
If you have built #curl for visionOS, maybe you can help this user out?

Hi, I'm recently wrapping a C libaray, which depends on CURL, into a swift package. It is then used for building a native visionOS app. I've been following the official document for building from s...GitHub
There are uses of %lx and %zx in the codebase, but parsefmt interpreted them as %x.GitHub
The longest function in #curl production code and the length of the 99th percentile function. Over time.
Something to work on.
I work on #curl full-time
(probably even a little more than full-time but let's ignore that for now)

Daniel Stenberg on Curl's Journey: From C64 Demos to Internet Transfers
vpetersson.com/podcast/S01E17.…
In this episode, Daniel Stenberg shares his incredible journey from coding on the Commodore 64 to creating Curl, a ubiquitous tool for internet transfers relied upon by developers worldwide.vpetersson.com
Public appreciation for Free Software is such a rare thing. I am glad you received it at least once. Too few people realize that #curl practically runs the Internet – much like Apache & nginx, but on the client side.
There should be more #ILoveFreeSoftware days, medals, and other forms of appreciation.
Thank you for creating something that I use dozens-to-hundreds of times each day in scripted format, command-line format, and hidden-in-other-tools format!
I couldn't do what I do without #curl
Again, thank you! And congratulations!
On this day seven years ago I got A FRICKING GOLD MEDAL for my work on #curl. Real. Proper. Gold. From the hands of the Swedish king.

Today is **fifteen years** since I posted about the "null-prefix domino" - common problems in TLS server certificate verification functions in many projects, including #curl
Note: the version like 8.11.0-DEV is not a valid version for project(), so need to extract the major, minor and patch parts.GitHub

The PR => github.com/php/php-src/pull/15…
This PR introduces a new function, curl_share_init_persistent, that creates a php_curlsh struct that can live beyond a single PHP request. Persisting a curl share handle would allow PHP userspace t...GitHub
Exactly one year since we reached 3,000 named contributors in #curl, we are at 3,257 names in the list.
This is a team effort.
It has already been a whole year since I wrote up my explanation "How I made a heap overflow in #curl

When your #curl command line is rejected by the server but your browser still works, it might be because of TLS fingerprinting.
I blogged about this two years ago: daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/09/02…

Eight years ago I started collecting #curl credit screenshots, and it has grown into a pretty fun set:

Twenty-two years ago on this day, we shipped #curl 7.10.
The first one using only the MIT license. Introduced --compressed. Certificate verification done by default. SOCKS5 support. A biggie.
Feels just like yesterday.
On this day, nine years ago, I launched my sub-project "everything curl". A free book about #curl.
Today it contains 114.000 words in 1,056 separate sections.
On this day, exactly twenty-three years ago, #curl was shipped bundled with macOS for the first time. It has been included in their install ever since.
That day, Mac OS X 10.1 was released, featuring curl 7.7.2
