We're at 809 received #curl issues from "team AI tooling", out of which about 15% has turned into commits/fixes.

The false positive/we don't care rate went up significantly when the scan included tests and examples. We should simply exclude those parts from normal scans as they live by different rules.

Never a dull moment.

#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).

We're not dead yet.

Mr @samueloph posted two videos on #wcurl and #curl in Debian:

"wcurl - one year later - DebConf 25" youtube.com/watch?v=RvnDvic2ea…

Short presentation about what happened since wcurl’s creation in May 17 2024 and what will happen next.

"curl maintainers BoF - DebConf 25" youtube.com/watch?v=OhTjgU7LIO…

curl maintainers meet-up to discuss HTTP3, GnuTLS, wcurl and other things.

As of now, I am no longer the author of more than half the lines added to the #curl repository. The "others" have overtaken me. I have now added less than half the lines.

After the second batch of issues reported by AI assisted code reviews, an impression: http://localhost:1313/icing/posts/ai-code-reviews/

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?

GET /yadayada HTTP/1.1
Host: blahblah.com

#curl



@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.
