@bagder what are some of your other favorite uses of libcurl?

@bagder oh no, is it legacy code now??

@lkundrak libcurl established a presence already decades ago, yes, but that does not mean that we relax or think we are done. Internet transfers keep evolving and so does libcurl.

We work hard to satisfy all the old legacy needs and support the new upcoming ones - at the same time.

it sometimes boggles even my mind to say something like that. Time flies!

You can write transfer library replacements, but it is hard to compete with the age, experience and polish several decades of Internet transfers bring.

@bagder So I can blame you now for every single commit any developer has ever made? 😜

@demiurg @bagder Only if they used git over http(s)!

@ondrejkolin @bagder you mean like git push origin main to a remote? Like with Github or GitLab or Gitea or Bitbucket or Codeberg ;)

@demiurg @ondrejkolin you can also do that over SSH, which then does not use curl
