If I'm going to be totally honest: implementing anything in #curl is about fourteen times easier and more fun than the thread- and object-spaghetti that is #Firefox code... But don't tell anyone I said this.

@bagder@mastodon.social The thing that projects like Firefox (and Chromium) desperately need is a fresh rewrite from scratch...

@bagder@mastodon.social This will stay between you, me and your 34 thousand other followers

@sampe@piipitin.fi thanks!

@bagder@mastodon.social … so we can soon expect new curl parameters “--run-with-gui” and “--enable-web-browser-mode“. Not much is missing for that, right?

@bagder@mastodon.social It'll be even easier once you merge that LLM authored PR. The one refactoring everything to use a more modern and flexible component system.

At least three kinds of marshalling.
Cross platform of course.
Interfaces upon interfaces for that extra plattan-i-mattan rapid development cycle?

eXtra Powerful Curl Object Model?

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
