Me yesterday in front of a huge #curl number of lines of code graph.

@icing [ ] A pizza with pineapple on it, it'll make your tongue #curl 👀 🍕

We are six days from the pending #curl 8.14.0 release. You can expect:

- one new command line option (--sigalgs)
- wcurl bundled in the release tarball
- >200 bugfixes
- two CVEs

The 16th hackerone report on #curl in which I select the "AI slop" checkbox.

When I frequently see this while playing with those "bleeding edge" protocols being invented by big techs and surely having been evolving for a long time, I can't help asking through my screen: "Is that the result of your thousands or millions of dollars of investment?"

I'll be at the OpenInfra Forum tomorrow in Stockholm city and blab. About #curl. I'll bring stickers.

RIP #curl

A year ago I explained how #curl came to get the colon-slash-slash logo

One week from the pending next #curl release, I uploaded the final release candidate, rc3 to https://curl.se/rc/

Please consider taking this for a spin and verify that everything seems to work as they should.

Thanks for flying curl.

@kgf paging @bagder , particularly since there was a question on the #curl user survey about whether they should move away from #Github, and this plays into the question.

(Whilst I think everyone should, I chose "indifferent" because I know it's a nuanced issue.)

@johnl AmA: curl spotted in the wild! Have you filled out this year's #curl user survey?
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/05/19/the-curl-user-survey-2025-is-up/

I critique what I consider are bad #GitHub choices and decisions. At the same time, GitHub is a top sponsor of the #curl project. They are among the few companies that make #curl keep going.

We cannot easily afford to switch to something else without someone with a thick wallet helping us do it.

If you have followed the rant of @bagder (the maintainer of #curl) about #AI generated reports on #hackerone (https://www.linkedin.com/posts/danielstenberg_hackerone-curl-activity-7324820893862363136-glb1/) and you agree with him, this discussion on #GitHub might be for you https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/159749
The #FOSS world might get flooded even more with #Copilot generated issues and PRs. All powered by GitHub

Detecting malicious Unicode - by Daniel Stenberg (curl)
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2025/05/16/detecting-malicious-unicode/

#programming #security #curl

I ran a quick SFTP performance test with #curl built to use #libssh 0.11.1 vs one built that uses #libssh2 1.11.1 over a 400ms latency connection.

One of them managed to perform this at 1049K/sec, the other reached only 249K/sec.

And the winner is...

libssh2

Funny detail: I sped it up for this kind of use case **fifteen years ago** and blogged about it: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2010/12/08/making-sftp-transfers-fast/

Happy #curl inspired Swisscom to add a "disclose your use of AI" to their bug-bounty program:

The record number of names in a curl release is 92, seen in the #curl 8.7.0 release notes.
