As I was involved in gsoc 2007 within the Rockbox project, I ventilated the idea on the libcurl mailing list just yesterday that perhaps this is a good year for the cURL project to apply to become a mentoring organization to be able to host students doing gsoc work?
If so, this is no point unless [...] |

yassl is a (in comparison) small SSL/TLS library that libcurl can be built to use instead of using one of the other SSL/TLS libraries libcurl supports (OpenSSL, GnuTLS, NSS and QSSL). However, yassl differs somewhat from the others in the way that it provides an OpenSSL-emulating API layer so that in libcurl we pretty much [...]

Since the dawn of time (at least it feels that long) we’ve included a copy of a ca cert bundle in the curl releases. That ca cert bundle originates from Netscape 4.72 and no cert has been added to it since the year 2000(!)
Instead, we’ve offered things like an easy downloadable version from our web [...] |

Given that there are an endless series of open source and free software projects around. What makes companies and projects likely to chose to depend and use one of the existing ones rather than to write it themselves or possibly buy a closed-source solution instead? I’ll try to answer a few of the things that [...]

Lemme take the opportunity to express my serious dislike about a particular habit in the open source world, frequently seen performed by various distros (and by distro I then mean in the wider sense, not limited to only Linux distros):
They fix problems by patching code in projects they ship/offer, but they don’t discuss the problem [...] |

I’m happy to announce the 103rd curl release: curl and libcurl 7.18.0.
No less than 35 persons beside myself contributed with info, reports and/or code to make the release as it turned out. We’ve added a bunch of new features and we’ve |

I did my share of Java bashing just a short while ago, so it is a bit ironic that just days afterwards the topic of the java binding for libcurl resurfaced, and now it seems both Günter and Patrick (libcurl hacker dudes) are working to get it in shape to actually again end up in [...]

Dave Jones blogged about his recent problems with curl on Fedora 8. It seems to be a problem somewhere in or related to the NSS library, that Fedora links curl to for SSL/TLS these days.
What I find a bit annoying with this situation, is that I’m using Debian unstable and I’m dist-upgrading fairly frequently to [...] |

Readers of my blog or my site or almost whatever on the internet where my name would appear should know that two of my primary open source involvements are in the curl and the Rockbox projects.
Therefore I felt great pleasure yesterday when both of these worlds collided! While investigating the internals of the SanDisk Sansa Connect [...] |

Apache’s Axis2/C project, said to be “the only complete SOAP engine” is considering to move over to use libcurl for HTTP transport by default. At least Axis2/C developer Dinesh Premalal thinks they should, and he lists multiple reasons in his blog and I can of course do nothing but agree.
One reason he failed to mention [...] |
