Ain't nothing wrong with a little unencrypted HTTP between friends. In your localhost.

Which gem? There are several that bind against libcurl.
It's curb that we're using.
I didn't realize curb was still maintained. Would be helpful to report the issue here: https://github.com/taf2/curb/issues

You mean for testing, or in general?

Yeah, I was/am planning to do that. But... the project giving us trouble is still on 0.9.11 and another project that is on latest doesn't seem to be having the same issue, so some more testing is needed. At the moment, we're going to rebuild using the older base image and then we'll upgrade the gem and test this sprint.

I would rather use the same protocol for testing that I use for higher environments, unless there is a strong reason not to. Same reason I wouldn't use SQlite locally and postgres in staging / prod.

A database is also an artifact that requires maintenance, unlike curl.
That's true for many DBs, but how much maintenance did you have to perform on the dozens of SQLite databases living in your phone and your $HOME?

It may not be me, but someone has to maintain those databases unless the software that uses it stops changing. Where curl has to maintain compatibility with every call to curl, I would wager that sqlite has to maintain compatibility with a larger surface area of APIs.

#20It'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.

Didn’t Mozilla also used to fund him?
