car brands running curl
Seven years ago I wrote about how a hundred million cars were running curl and as I brought up this blog post in a discussion recently, I came to reflect over how the world might have changed since. Is curl perhaps used in more cars now? Yes it is.daniel.haxx.se

On this day 26 years ago, we introduced the #curl option -#/--progress-bar when we released curl 5.10
You can now try out the #curl git mirror on @Codeberg: codeberg.org/curl/curl-mirror
Consider it a test pilot for now. We won't do PRs and issues there so there's an obvious risk this will just be too messy...

Seven years ago I estimated a hundred million cars ran #curl. Eight of the ten biggest car brands used it then. All the top three ones.
It probably means that there are some additional cars using curl now. libcurl really.

A hundred million cars run curl
One of my hobbies is to collect information about where curl is used. The following car brands feature devices, infotainment and/or navigation systems that use curl - in one or more of their models.daniel.haxx.se
After closing the weekend's four new #curl security reports as not applicable, we have now received **thirty-three** submissions since the last confirmed genuine one. Thirty-three ones that were not security problems. (A few of them were proper bugs though.)
I don't think we are ready to make the call just yet, but I suspect our bug bounty's days are numbered.
it is curious how many people feel they need to ask me why #curl is not moving off #GitHub
The cold and boring answer is money. GitHub sponsors us with a crapload of CI infra that there is no other company even close to doing.
So while they may be an AI-first delusional company, they help our project so much more than all other hosting sites combined.
It would be reckless and irresponsible of us to ignore this.
#curl tells the %time - extending -w once more

curl tells the %time
The curl command line option --write-out or just -w for short, is a powerful and flexible way to extract information from transfers done with the tool. It was introduced already back in version 6.5 in the early 2000.daniel.haxx.se
I recently refreshed my #curl vs #wget page. What have I missed? For either tool.

On this day, twenty-five years ago, libcurl was born. The engine from the #curl tool turned into a library so that others could also get internet powers.
The name "libcurl" was picked simply because we couldn't think of a better name and yeah, it is a "curl library"...
libcurl 7.1 was a dot-one release to make sure it would not get confused with one of the many 7.0 beta releases we did prior to the actual release.
One of the first adopters of libcurl was PHP.
libcurl: Reset rewind flag in curl_easy_reset() by oxan · Pull Request #18207 · curl/curl
curl_easy_reset() did not reset the rewind_read flag. This caused any handles that previously had a CURLE_SEND_FAIL_REWIND error to get stuck with that error, failing any subsequent requests, even ...GitHub
Another #curl security report that took some serious mind wrestling and debugging to get to the bottom of.
In the end I deem it not a security vulnerability but you can see how this is not an easy call.

Also, I made the #curl tool support up to 10000 "globs" per URL. Just keep the total number of URLs they expand to within 64 bits.
(It was more of an accidental follow-up effect as I introduced a growing array to keep them, so the previous fixed-limit array can start much smaller but also grow much larger if wanted.)
