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 process, I do it mostly as a service for users and to

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 I'll go back and continue working on curl.

Tadaa: curl already supports --parallel to download many URLs simultaneously...

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

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

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 to resolve some host names in some setups that otherwise wo

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 travel to the US at a later time. Hopefully it was just some
