@npub10cz…xarx If the protocol and the URL support resume, then it is similar yes. Two conditions that complicate matters and might make this option useful to people.

"The Open-Source AMD GPU Linux Kernel Graphics Driver Nears 5.8 Million Lines"
Insane is a word that comes to my mind.
That's about 33 times the size of curl - for a set of drivers.

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...)

When I tell mortals I know by heart what RFC 959, 3986, 6265, 7540 and 9112 cover, barely anyone appreciate it.

Ads on the web don't actually *need* user tracking. Browsers don't *have to* cooperate with those who want to surveil us.

one of them claimed the fact that you can run "curl http://¹²7.0.0.1" is a vulnerability.
I insist this is IDN working as designed. However crazy it may look like.You just cannot filter URLs like that assume it will work.

Experimental HTTP/3 support is soon coming to #curl on #debian. Brace for impact! https://curl.se/mail/distros-2024-06/0000.html

On this day ten years ago, we lost our innocence as the former single page HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC2616) "exploded" into six separate new documents (RFC7230 and family). We could then no longer pretend HTTP was a simple protocol.
In June 2022, it was again updated:. "RFC 9110 and family". The spec is now split up into five main documents: semantics, caching and separate specs for each version: 1.1, 2, 3.
Those five documents hold 143,000 words combined. HTTP is not easy.

On this day thirteen years ago, #rockbox was still a thing I worked on a lot and we did a new Rockbox tower record of 117cm (in London)
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2011/06/05/rockbox-bridge-and-tower/
This is still the standing Rockbox tower record I believe.
Yes, I always work on important stuff.

The thing about me being a BDFL for #curl is that it has the D in there. I have the means and ability to push for just about anything I like. I say that I truly try to be a benevolent dictator, but then I presume quite a few dictators would say so.
Next week I will tell you all about how I view this dictatorship and how it is not quite like a dictatorship of a country since in our case, everyone could just leave if I misbehave.

Twenty-six years ago on this day, we shipped #curl 4.4. Adding support for specifying the port number for the proxy given to the -x flag. Simpler times.

It has been a long time coming, but I've made it official:
"Daniel no longer answers questions on stackoverflow. Use a dedicated public curl forum for accurate and timely answers about anything #curl. "
(yes, speaking about myself in 3rd person)

One of my "tricks" to stay sane is to make sure the #curl list of open issues and PRs is always short (<100). Things that go stale and nobody is working on will get moved to documents and queues elsewhere. I know this is sometimes controversial, but it helps us communicate what is actually being worked on and it keeps maintainers from overload.

"If the attacker instead can just sneak the code directly into a release archive then it won’t appear in git, it won’t get tested and it won’t get easily noticed by team members!"

"The *only* reason curl is popular, is because it is *free* and it might have been first. Using curl is a temporary cost cutting measure. curl is a tool for the poor. "

Today we got what must be the most alarming first line in a newly file sec issue to #curl:
"To replicate the issue, I have searched in the Bard about this vulnerability"
... followed by a complete AI hallucination where Bard has dreamed up a new issue by combining snippets from several past flaws. Creative, but hardly productive.
Closed as bogus.
