Every topic I usually blab about here in a single weekend in Prague? That's basically #curl up 2025. Consider yourself invited. Only two weeks away now.

https://github.com/curl/curl-up/wiki/2025

The #curl git repository at GitHub is being cloned once every four seconds on average.

Meanwhile in #curl land, we can now do #HTTP3 with #ngtcp2 1.12.0 and #OpenSSL 3.5.

Thanks to lots of amazing people, including @icing and Tatsuhiro of ngtcp2 of course.

Getting a bug report submitted on a #curl release done **twelve** years ago. Apparently it can crash in some circumstance...

Things that run #curl, i.e. open source is everywhere

#fossnorth @foss_north @bagder

I'll run over to #fossnorth tomorrow, where I primarily will hand out #curl stickers and socialize with people.

Oh and do a little keynote at 9am Monday morning titled "What comes after world domination?"

"Hello Daniel,

I see that libcurl has been used in several scraping builds — I’m hiring for a freelance job that relies on custom session handling and API scraping logic."

Oh dear. I know I talk about getting people to pay for #curl, but I think this is taking it a little too far...

Are you a terminal freak too? And do you know the great work of Igor Chubin (https://github.com/chubin)?

curl cheat.sh - highly useful when you need to execute a command you use twice a year, don't remember the parameters and like me you don't like digging through man (example: curl cheat.sh/tar). And just discovered it supports also quick tips when you script something (like curl cheat.sh/python/read+file).

curl wttr.in or curl v2.wttr.in - when you don't want to switch to a different window to check the weather (pun intended).

curl rate.sx - currency converter (example czk.rate.sx/1eur).

By the way, all this is possible because of awesome curl by @bagder

curl HTTP/3 with OpenSSL 3.5 may be coming you way soon. Tatsuhiro, the maintainer of ngtcp2, did the (unnecessarly) heavy lifting to adapt and I did the comparatively few changes for it in curl.

Once ngtcp2 releases, we can merge that hopefully for the next curl release. If you want to test, see:

Summing up the #curl distro 2025 meet

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/04/10/summing-up-the-curl-distro-2025-meet/

My kind of meeting.

The annual #curl distro meeting happened. Thanks everyone who participated. Good discussions. Excellent feedback. I have some action items.

curl might just get yet a little better as a result of this!

Welcome Jake Yuesong Li as #curl commit author 1361: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/17008

It looks like the #OpenSSL QUIC API might be supported in the coming #ngtcp2 1.12.0 release:

https://github.com/ngtcp2/ngtcp2/pull/1582

This could be exciting for #curl users building with #OpenSSL ...

MSFT should be tried in the Hague for silently overloading #curl with Invoke-WebRequest in PowerShell. Just tell me cURL isn't installed!

Edit: Thanks! curl.exe *is*, but still, justice for `curl`

Welcome Johan Eliasson as #curl commit author 1360: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/16990

Reminder: we do the #curl distro meeting 2025 this Thursday!

The blog post from yday brought back this question: why aren't we using C99 in #curl? Here's my past response:

Remember, if you just take this day as a weekend, your #curl rewrite could be finished
