CauêEuCaue@mastodon.socialApr 22, 2024, 3:50 PM@bagder curl ❤️
Lori Olsonwndxlori@ruby.socialApr 22, 2024, 4:13 PMFirst up, thanks for your hard work on curl.
Second, I’m going lean into PUT being at least as appropriate as POST on that ad.
😉
Mark Pauleyunsaturated@discuss.systemsApr 22, 2024, 4:24 PM@bagder PUT is WevDAV specific no? Generally we use POST for this sort of thing.
- Apr 22, 2024, 5:04 PM
@unsaturated PUT is plain old HTTP
- Mark Pauleyunsaturated@discuss.systemsApr 23, 2024, 3:03 PM
@bagder so it is! Back in the day when I was still familiar with HTTP, I seem to recall that we considered it exotic and mostly used only for e.g. WebDAV but yeah it’s apparently just HTTP. Seems like a method people would often misuse

@bagder And in particular to companies who have perfect capacity to pay the developer.
Apr 23, 2024, 7:46 AM@bagder my fav part:
Jul 10, 2024, 1:34 PMI'll introduce myself enough to say that I've been working on a Linux distro for 30 years. #curl is part of the core of this one and most others. There should be a curl flag to unfurl. Hm. Add a "--flag" switch.
One thing that curl needed was wcurl. wget is nice enough you bet. For decades both I did vet. They're fraternal twins, I see, born in 1996, the years doesn't sticks, it can't be 28 years, I have socks5 older than that. But now with wcurl there is no excuse for anybody not to give curl a whirl.
Jul 30, 2024, 9:46 AM@bagder @schrottkatze Is there a page for all fan art you got over the years?
- Jul 30, 2024, 9:48 AM
@fink @schrottkatze I think this is the best I have, but I don't think it is "complete" in any way: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/05/07/curl-pictures/

@bagder I've just read about what you have to endure with AI Slop [1], [2].
Just came to say: Don't give up and don't loose your motivation!
