One of the best HTTP clients is the open source tool curl. With ongoing development and continuously new updates, it is worth getting everything out of this powerful tool!
If you use brew’s curl on macOS, are you really using it? I installed and had curl setup a couple of years ago. Today it appears that curl was now pointing to Apple’s version, which has this issue (https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/03/08/the-apple-curl-security-incident-12604/). Looks like brew doesn’t add a symlink for curl to /opt/homebrew/bin. Running ln -s /opt/homebrew/opt/curl/bin/curl /opt/homebrew/bin resolved the issue.
Anyone can contribute to an open source project. It is some effort, but you can push changes you make locally back to the project to improve it and make your improvements a part of the project.
Today I want to mention how nice #opensource can be! Look at this #cURL issue https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/13337 nice developers chatting on their own time about code and features with reproducible code and respect in mind! 😭 this is what I am here for!
Found another Curl resource; that always makes me giddy. http://cheat.sh/
It's a set of command line cheat sheets accessible through super simple curl requests.
