It’s bloody 2024, think we can agree on either wget or curl being installed by default on every freaking operating system by now so shell scripts can have a guaranteed way of carrying out http requests?
I mean it’s been about 35 years. I think it’s about time.
@landley I'll propably have to gut functions out of toybox to get it where I want it to be, but then again the "#CORE" Version of OS/1337 will be very much barebones....
Just the essentials to get #Dropbear#Client to be able to #SSH into stuff, be able to make a #ramdisk and #wget / tiny-#curl everything else (i.e. a system image one could dd onto a HDD/SSD)...
@SweetAIBelle@landley for example I didn't compile the kernel with much driver support and getting at least #IPv4-based #Ethernet support will eat up about 200kB...
But I'd rather have a system that cat at least pull stuff and/or go from there...
getting #tmpfs work and being able to #wget / #curl stuff is a pivotal step...
I'm trying to play with SH4 CPUs in a few set-top boxes I have. This is difficult as the whole STLinux FTP server is long gone.
If you, or anyone you know has these files:
@gorplop longterm this should OFC allow for way more, but ideally still very minimalist in that it's just #Linux, #toybox (either with it's #wget implementation or #curl as seperate program) and #spm to install packages.

Some people may consider writing #documentation to be a lost art, but pruning outdated information from it is clearly not at the top of most to-do lists either. Or, to put it another way, the #wget man page includes instructions on how to export cookies from #Netscape 4.x, the last release of which was issued in October 1998.
Today in 2000, 23 years ago, we introduced #libcurl into the world. #curl 7.1 was the first release featuring a separate library for Internet transfers, that curl was then made to use.
PHP adopted it almost instantly to become their default built-in transfer engine, which greatly helped the library "take off".
libcurl was not an instant success but has gradually grown more popular over time. Over 23 years.
Today we estimate 20 BILLION installations worldwide.
