I have implemented many networking applications from Ethernet to application protocols. I am also particularly aware of how HTTP and all the related stack works. So your thinking appears to be inaccurate.
Isn't that just one side of the coin? The other being hardware compatibility.

a better HTTP client is one that does exactly what you want, nothing more and nothing less.
Still no name or this mysterious better client. And what happens when I need something more, or something else? I need to find a different "better client"?
Without knowing your requirements it would be difficult to say.
Say for example your main concern is latency, you only need support for MTU-sized payloads, you want ro guarantee that the TCP connection is always established ahead of time and your requests always follow the same pattern with a few bytes to tweak.
You can easily write something that can do those things much better than curl in a couple of hours.
Pretty chaotic for my taste! I find that having clutter on my desktop distracts me and makes me feel uneasy. I'm wondering what the difference between Daniel and me is. Could it just be a personality trait?
Well, you’re a CTO (going by your handle) and Daniel is an open source engineer, so I’d say personally probably has something to do with it.

I too like a clean desk. But a clean desk doesn't stay that for long. So all clean desk lovers like me tend to have a cluttered desk. The clean desks you see in pictures are obviously staged, or maybe people are really able to do serious work without ever putting a pen, or a cable, or a phone, or a mug on, sooner or later. It's like doing the dishes. One of the things I hate the most in life, because you clean stuff…

How is my job my personality? Lol ... I do code a lot in my free time, started coding at 14 years old and I contribute to open source as well. Pretty closed minded thinking to be honest.
The fact that you took offense to my post rather than seeing it as a benign observation says a lot more about you than it does me.

I didn’t say your job is your personality, don’t be so melodramatic. The fact that you took offense to my post rather than seeing it as a benign observation says a lot more about you than it does me.

I already explained, what's better is what fits your needs exactly. Without knowing your requirements it would be difficult to say. Say for example your main concern is latency, you only need support for MTU-sized payloads, you want ro guarantee that the TCP connection is always established ahead of time and your requests always follow the same pattern with a few bytes to tweak.
