It also looks like the Ruby GEM has a resource leak with it :) (or it doesn't terminate the connection? The server is timing out saying the full body has not been read).

Curl 8 got pulled into a base image update to Alpine Linux.

Which gem? There are several that bind against libcurl.

I use Typhoeus which uses Ethon depends on ffi. Crash happens. Sorry English is not my mother language.

It's interesting to compare the revenue model of Curl to SQLite.

Both are permissively licensed.

Both are embedded in billions of offerings.

Both launched around the same time.

SQLite has built a multi-million dollar annual business supporting it, while Curl I believe has not.

Curl's founder works for a small American company called WolfSSL. AFAIK he works on Curl-related stuff full time.

A database is also an artifact that requires maintenance, unlike curl.
