#Curl is being updated to include a new wcurl tool for downloading files. This sounds like, instead of dumping the file to stdout like curl normally does unless you manually redirect or pipe it to a file, this will basically be a curl based alternative to wget.

Check your local weather via curl.

And then I stumble over a protocol which #curl doesn't support:
Quote of the Day Protocol, TCP port 17

Welcome Pino Toscano as #curl commit author 1394: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/17975
I just tried to download a package for my gps project and saw something I've never seen before:
bash: curl: command not found
WTH? Debian Bookworm apparently doesn't include curl by default. That should be some sort of crime.

By providing guidelines and agent-specific memory/workflow prompts, the quality of PRs and bug reports will improve. So less bullshit.
It will reduce the maintainer op-ex because pull requests will be standardized.
Maybe a valid approach for other OSS projects?
#curl 8.15.0 has been released (#libcurl / #Haxx / #DICT / #FILE / #FTP / #FTPS / #Gopher / #HTTP / #HTTPS / #IMAP / #IMAPS / #LDAP / #LDAPS / #MQTT / #POP3 / #POP3S / #RTMP / #RTMPS / #RTSP / #SCP / #SFTP / #SMB / #SMBS / #SMTP / #SMTPS / #Telnet / #TFTP / #WebSocket / #SOCKS4 / #SOCKS5 / #SCRAM / #TLS / #HTTP2 / #HTTP3) https://curl.se/
take a guess if the same company now emailed the exact same CRA compliance questionnaire they sent to the #curl project last week, to the libssh2 project!
Correct. They did.
@team Unser aktueller Azubi FiSi hat sich erfolgreich via #curl beworben.

Curl's bug bounty program might die because AI "helpers" are drowning volunteers in garbage reports 
20% AI slop vs 5% real vulnerabilities = volunteers spending hours on "mind-numbing stupidities" instead of actual security.
When does "helping" become sabotage? 
Der Entwickler von curl denkt darüber nach, die Bug-Bounty-Prämien wegen KI-generiertem Schrott einzustellen 
. Ein weiteres Beispiel, wie KI Fluch und Segen sein kann! #KI #OpenSource #curl #Security #newz
