I already offered the following comments on Aisle "my experience from working with them on and off for many months now is nothing but good. Skilled, professional engineers without …

vodafone has been blocking my site daniel.haxx.se for several years. Discussed on this very site for example back in 2022: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31248250

Vodafone... https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2022/05/02/considered-18/

I only record the introduction commit for security flaws as they are rare and important enough to give that level of attention. And that's not a mandatory or required step in our p…

The author (me) did get a visa, after a mere 937 days: https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2020/11/09/a-us-visa-in-937-days...

That's fairly inaccurate. QuicTLS is pretty much exactly what we're all waiting for. That is OpenSSL + PR8797.

Daniel here. Thanks everyone for the positiveness and expression of appreciation I've sensed here. The threat has been reported to the police and I'll move on. I love you all. Now …

Account restored!

While I am disconnected from twitter, you can always reach me at: Mastodon: @bagder@mastodon.social Keybase: https://keybase.io/bagder IRC: #curl on freenode Email: daniel@haxx.se …

The twitter post just links to my blog post "Happy 21st, curl": https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2019/03/20/happy-21st-curl/

Thank you! I will certainly do what I can to not make this little change affect my curl commitment in a negative manner...

Thanks! Captive portals are indeed truly complicated beasts to handle and they offer challenging obstacles for browsers (and others). We keep working on trying to improve how Firef…

... that's why the article you're commenting on mentions SNI and that we hope to address that too (but separately) going forward!

"I better speculate on the reason here because surely Daniel is part of a conspiracy meant destroy the browsing experience of millions" or... It could be prepared for when the user…

c-ares is not standard because making a drop-in replacement for the regular stock name resolver function is really hard and c-ares is not 100% there. A c-ares powered libcurl fails…

Oh c'mon, give me your best early curl stories! / (curl author)

It probably isn't too obvious here, but yeah I know how it works =) (I'm Daniel, who wrote the blog post discussed here and leads the curl development...)

If you invoke "curl http://example.com/a.htm http://example.com/b.htm" , curl will only use a single connection.

We were never able to get any answers as to why I was denied - in spite of some real efforts in finding out. It will remain an unanswered mystery. I will make a renewed attempt to …
