On this day ten years ago, we lost our innocence as the former single page HTTP/1.1 specification (RFC2616) "exploded" into six separate new documents (RFC7230 and family). We could then no longer pretend HTTP was a simple protocol.

In June 2022, it was again updated:. "RFC 9110 and family". The spec is now split up into five main documents: semantics, caching and separate specs for each version: 1.1, 2, 3.

Those five documents hold 143,000 words combined. HTTP is not easy.

On this day thirteen years ago, #rockbox was still a thing I worked on a lot and we did a new Rockbox tower record of 117cm (in London)

This is still the standing Rockbox tower record I believe.

Yes, I always work on important stuff.

Some of the emails I get are truly sad reflections of the complicated and rather sorry state of things we are in. Like this.

(also, apparently #curl is used in another popular game)

Would you like a "num_retries" variable for #curl's --write-out format?

I wrote most of the initial #DoH implementation for #Firefox back in the day. Six years ago I explained some of the internals on my blog: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2018/06/03/inside-firefoxs-doh-engine/

Author density. Number of commit authors shown by git blame in product code per KLOC. In #curl. Over time.

"maybe we need this in the future" is a bad idea for writing good code. If we need that flexibility in the future, other things will have changed as well. Better do it then, not complicating matters now.

Turning down needlessly flexible code like a boss.

Three years ago I made the questionable decision to mail #curl stickers to everyone who filled in a form within 24 hours. oboy, that was a lot of work...

Is there a way to have #curl issue a GET request and then just not wait for the file to download? -m0 doesn't seem to be doing it.
