Makes curl follow redirects an act on the response code and change a custom method accordingly, contrary to --location.
Potential future command line to send QUERY and following a redirect accordin...
Output the current UTC time using strftime format. %f is an extra curl specific flag to output the microsecond fraction of the current second.

I'm convinced a lot of people have not yet figured out that curl has supported parallel downloads for six years already by now. Provided a practically unlimited number of URLs, curl can be asked to get them in a parallel fashion.
On this day 26 years ago, the #curl website premiered on the host "curl.haxx.nu", as it moved over from having been hosted on my personal [company]/~dast/curl sub page previously.
Less than a year later we switched again to curl.haxx.se. We could not use the .se domain earlier because of limits in the TLD ruleset before that point.
We would then stay on that hostname for some twenty years.
Add defensive int overflow checking in the buffer queue allocation functions to prevent potential heap buffer overflows if large chunk sizes are ever used.
The calculation sizeof(*chunk) + q->ch...
We have always had a custom command line option parser in curl. It is fast and uncomplicated and gives us the perfect mix of flexibility and function. It also saves us from importing or using code with another license.
The "good" people at Emerson for some reason couldn't think for themselves when I responded to them on behalf of #curl and instead continue and send the same questions to the #libssh2 project with the same "demands".
"This is a gentle reminder regarding our earlier request for your input on the cybersecurity risk assessment of the software component “libssh2” version 1.11.0, as part of our compliance efforts with the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)."
This change makes it possible to Append a DSN specification behind the MAIL and RCPT mail addresses in the smtp protocol.
Currently, curl checks if these addresses start with a '<' or en...
Downloading data from a remote URL is probably the single most common operation people do with curl. Often, users then add various additional options to the command line to extract information from that transfer but may also decide that the actually …
Native Schannel TLS stack of #Windows was so unreliable it got axed from #curl: * Never worked reliably under real‑world loads. * Quirky, cumbersome API/architecture that broke integrations. * Zero developer interest—nobody tested or maintained it. * Pure maintenance drag with no real benefit.
So #Microsoft again shipped a built‑in that nobody uses, and projects ditch it entirely in favor of better third‑party alternatives.
I hope that by now most readers of my blog have understood that curl, and libcurl specifically, is an architecture with a transfer core with a set of different backends plugged in. Backends powered by different third party libraries.

The transfer is done in full, all data is received and checked, but the bytes are not written anywhere. --out-null is associated with a single URL. Use it once per URL when you use several URLs in a command line.
Specific to multiplexing with PIPEWAIT enabled - when a pending handle times out before its corresponding connecting handle, its timenode is erroneously inserted twice into the multi handle splay t...
Unconditionally enable _GNU_SOURCE when building on GNU/Hurd; this way it is possible to properly use/rely on GNU extensions e.g. accept4(), memrchr(), and the GNU strerror_r().
Ahmad Gani intercepts the sendto syscall to simulate short send, but
curl incorrectly handles it. It keeps resending the version:
sendto(4, "\x05", 1, MSG_NOSIGNAL, NULL, 0) = 1

take a guess if the same company now emailed the exact same CRA compliance questionnaire they sent to the #curl project last week, to the libssh2 project!
Daniel walks through the changes done in 8.15.0, a whole bunch of his "favorite" bugfixes and then some of the upcoming new things that might be merged and i...
I'm Daniel Stenberg, maintainer and lead developer in the curl project. I stream curl related stuff. Release presentations, curl development and related topics.
Welcome to another curl release. A shorter cycle this time so we did not have time to merge many changes: there is just one logged. See below. This is the 269th release featuring 269 command line options.
Even as #curl is soon 10000 days, here's a list of changes and features that we have queued up for the coming next release. And these are just things we think have a chance of getting merged. (But not all of them will manage, most likely.)
It can take the #HardenedBSD project a full month to rebuild its package repos. And since we've built this software monoculture against libcurl, this will be FUN!
It was recently updated in this doc to seven, but there were *two* numbers mentioned and only one of them was updated leaving the paragraph quite confusing. Follow-up to 83c90e50472f32b74e388f6e524d...
