On this day twenty-five years ago, the first ever CVE was reported against #curl:

Items tagged with: CURL
One of the recent AI generated bug reports for #curl quite impressively identifies mismatches between a function header's comment mentioning that an argument is optional, but the code uses it unconditionally.
This taking comments into account certainly allows for some extra magic the classic code analyzers can't do.
#curl October 9. The same number of commits done this year (2433) so far as the entire previous top-year with the most commits (2024).

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 ;)
