#wget #wcurl

then I shouldn't tell that I prefer #wget 😸
#wget

#curl #wget

Problem with that is (besides occasional bugfixes), most people including myself would see #curl to be functionally complete and anything "nice to have" would be considered not worth the balooning in #complexity and #size.

  • I mean, does curl need to be able to do #BitTorrent (magnet:), #IPFS (ipfs://) or god forbid #blockchain (i.e. #EVM) support?
  • Do you really want to integrate @torproject / #Tor support natively into curl when using #HTTP (localhost:8118) and #SOCKS5 (localhost:9050) #proxy allows for the same and doesn't necessitate having to handle and ingest Tor arguments as well??

In fact if #toybox didn't have a #wget implementation that I could use for OS/1337 I would've merely chosen tiny-curl -o as a global alias or if #tinycurl wasn't an option, curl -o instead.

  • Maybe someone who wants to have said functionality like tor support built-in will go and IDK make i.e. #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/neocurl]neocurl[/url] or sth. along those lines or build something like #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/ethcurl]ethcurl[/url] or #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/tor]tor[/url]curlor #[url=https://infosec.space/tags/ipfs]ipfs[/url]curl or whatever...

That being said I am glad curl isn't solely maintained by you but has other contributors (give them a shoutout!) but I also am glad you maintain that vital software that most "#TechIlliterate #Normies" most likely never heard of but propably use on a daily basis as part of all the #tech they use to #consume media with...

  • I consider curl to be "the #vim of downloaders" (tho that's kinda insulting and limiting since curl is more than just a downloader and more intuitive than vim) with wget being "the #vi of downloaders" (tho wget is even simpler to use than vi)...

Either way, curl is awesome...

Set aliases globally for all users

I have certain paths, which are too long to type, so I need to wrap all those in one script as alias and source that script to my existing package code. These should set alias permanently over that

I bet you don't remember when #wget briefly considered switching to using #libcurl back in 2007.

wget going libcurl?

Micah Cowan is the current maintainer of GNU Wget, and he recently posted a long mail to the wget mailing list titled "Thoughts on Wget 1.x, 2.0". Two fun quotes for the curious who don't feel like reading the whole post: 1.
