Watched it and yes, DOT delivered another good introduction to a useful DX tool. I know it will make me use #cURL exponentially more.

It also made me install #xh as a complement. Both because I like how colors make it easier to analyse, and for it providing a less complex command for basic stuff.

But also for its "--curl" option ;)

That is barely enough to count the number of #curl options!

If you incorrectly use -H 'Foo=bar' instead of -H 'Foo: bar', #Curl will ignore it and not send the header field. Really unexpected and error inducing, I would expect it to validate the parameter and fail.

can #curl send a request that's stored in a a text file?

@kytta primarily that #curl is C89 compliant so we can't rely on C99 types so we have our own, and we actually only have a signed version atm. Mostly out of laziness.

I started thinking about when we should adapt #curl's progress meters to deal with > 63 bit download sizes (8192 Petabytes).

I'm thinking it might not be terribly far away when people can start downloading that. In particular when doing N super huge transfers in parallel.

Got me thinking about 128 bit math...

Just told my boss (CTO of 15 years for a web hosting company) that #curl doesn't just do HTTP. His mind is being blown in real time.

Twenty-four years ago on this day, Mac OS X 10.1 was released which bundled #curl with their OS for the first time.

Joshua Rogers sent us a *massive* list of potential issues in #curl that he found using his set of AI assisted tools. Code analyzer style nits all over. Mostly smaller bugs, but still bugs and there could be one or two actual security flaws in there. Actually truly awesome findings.

I have already landed 22(!) bugfixes thanks to this, and I have over twice that amount of issues left to go through. Wade through perhaps.

If no one sponsors #curl keeping OpenSSL 1.1.1 support around, we will drop it earlier than previously planned.

Leaches be leaches.

Giant company begs tiny Open Source project to graciously spend more of our copious spare time to help them - for free.

Apparently the latest #curl release has a build problem on HarmonyOS. What a pity.

For this exact date through #curl history I have nothing at all noted.

Possibly because this is my son's 19th birthday!

Working on adding Apple SecTrust support to curl (e.g. the native macOS and other Apple *OS system certificates store) and reaching out to the Homebrew/Macports people if they'd like that too or have other needs.

Starting now, the #curl man page is rendered to use the long form only of the command line options in text, instead of like before insist on mentioning both the short AND long option.

This should make the text easier on the eye. I could make it this way after having fixed so that the long-option-only also renders appropriate links in the web version.

A tiny step forward.

The plain ASCII version of the #curl man page consists of 37,720 words right now
