I took my wooden tiles out to meet my lawn and now I have an image for my #curl release presentation next week.

In the #curl project, being written in C, we always work on simplifying the code. One way is to use more internal helper functions and avoid direct use of some functions that are often involved in C mistakes/vulnerabilities.

To measure how this develops, we count number of these function calls used per every thousand lines of code. Over time.
In a graph.

In the #curl project, we spend 3.3 days/day on running tests - around 140,000 tests per commit/PR. In addition to what every developer runs in their own systems of course.

Our test failure rate in CI jobs is at 0.004%, which is annoyingly high when running this many tests.

If you would listen to this #curl presentation next week, what question would you ask me?
#curl


This looks interesting

Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.

It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.

Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML content, #REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

(Built with #rustlang powered by #curl)

It has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:

"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything #curl. "

(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

@bagder Even high-end workstation synthesizers run #curl

This photo was taken from a Roland Fantom 6. I think it's using curl within the firmware update process.


1. do not assume that URLs will be treated the same cross user-agents.

2. do not assume that IPv4-mapped IPv6-addresses can be written in octal.

Another day. Another security report against #curl we could close.

"To me, the latest is the latest my OS provides me. If #curl maintainers dont care about pushing the latest into the OSes they support, it's not me to blame. I think curl maintainers should push Centos to provide the latest to all users. What's the purpose of you fixing multiple bugs and security holes if you dont spend time to make it available to the broader audience?"

We are obviously all just too lazy.

Did you notice how speed in #CURL changed for HTTP/2 in the last releases?

Thanks Stefan for your work!

My "predicting the future" slide, used in several presentations over the last few years. It involves #curl.

How many authors have their contributions in #curl product source code? How many have had their previous work completely removed. Over time.

The first #curl release with code present authored by 200 persons was done in 2015-04-22. In that release, we had already removed all traces of contributions from 20 authors.

In the latest release, 604 authors' code is still present. 171 authors' work have been replaced.

@gary_alderson I think you can expect me and not too many others to obsess and speak about historical #curl events and changes.

In 10 days (at #curl up 2024) I will do this presentation - out of which I seem to already have about 100 slides prepared...
#curl


with all due respect this sounds like a confusing cli argument design. I am the one doing it wrong :’) I personally can never remember all the #curl arguments, only the most commonly used ones, and -X is one that is easy to remember and can be used for many occasions. Maybe the solution should be to prefer -X always and a separate argument for whether the redirects should follow explicitly given method

Today we celebrate the five year anniversary of #curl's bug-bounty. It has resulted in 69 reported vulnerabilities and almost 80,000 USD payouts. Out of a total of 439 submissions. 86 of them were considered "informative", which mostly means they were handled as normal bugs.
