Trying out what a #curl family tree could look like.
#curl


@markuswerle @jakob @pluralistic This is how I interpret the situation: #GitHub offers open source programs free access to GitHub actions today exactly as it did in the past. This access is limited in CPU performance and parallelism. It always was. All free CI services do this.

The #curl project was bumped to a fancier account to give us more actions powers: more CPU and more parallelism.

That is them doing us a favor and them supporting us, not the other way around.


with this knowledge we are pondering what we can to do make things less annoying for #curl on Windows.

What now takes a few milliseconds on my Linux machine, takes several seconds on Windows. Not ideal.

Welcome Pete Cordell as #curl commit author 1293: github.com/curl/curl/pull/1439…

what people have been using for years already will start working in #curl 8.10.0: -vv, -vvv and -vvvv for more verbose logging.

Up until now, adding more vs did not do anything different.

Here's one way to view the 28 transfer protocols #curl supports.

Today is exactly five years since we did the first HTTP/3 transfers with #curl

My blog post from back then:

#curl's 265th command line option is called --skip-existing. Lets you completely skip a download if there is a local file present already.

#curl


Starting now, #curl shows extended help for a given command line option if you write it after --h. Like "curl -h --location" or "curl -h -O"

Shipping in the pending curl 8.10.0 in mid September.

Watch @samueloph and the Debian curl maintainer team, discussing issues and the way forward at DebConf24:

Unpopular opinion: Damn cool kids with their HTTPs 3 and QUICs and whatevers. HTTP/1.1 was good enough for everyone!

They're adding all that fancy stuff into the new #cURL version, and it causes #Transmission to crash. How am I going to seed all these Linux images now?!

Bugfix rate in the #curl project is currently racing to an all-time high.

(yes, presumably this also means we insert more bugs as well as there need to be something to fix...)

The original #hackerone report for #curl's CVE-2024-7264: ASN.1 date parser overread is now published:

I added a section to everything #curl about what we do to mitigate backdoor attempts:

Did I forget anything obvious?

28 bugfixes, including a low severity CVE - seven days since the previous release.

I have this slide showing the 101(!) operating systems people have reported #curl to run on.

I now have a customer call scheduled about porting it to a 102nd...

In 2022 I became #curl's 1000th commit author and was congratulated as such until I had to confess to @bagder that I wasn't: I had used two distinct email addresses and was thus only the 999th.

The record (daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/01/30…) doesn't reflect this, but it is my #sundayConfession


According to @bagder the stubborn way the #OpenSSL project is handling #QUIC implementation is directly responsible for delaying HTTP/3 adoption (1), and I tend to agree. When the project rejected the community QUIC patches and decided to go with their own design, it wasn't difficult to predict problems. This was proven right by the massive feature gaps (2) and performance issues (3) discovered by @icing when trying to marry OpenSSL QUIC to #curl. Even with API fixes released in version 3.3 the implementation is still inferior, and there is no good solution in sight.

Starting now, the #curl website offers changelog listings per-release. curl.se/ch/ always shows the latest release.

Old links still work of course and the old "all changes in a single page" will remain.

On this day twenty-six years ago I released #curl 4.7

It does not make be feel old at all. 😁
