140 foss hackers
At last, the first meeting with our recently started foss-sthlm effort took place. The amount of attention and attendance we achieved by far surpassed our wildest assumptions, and around 130-140 persons interested in open source showed up (we don’t know the exact number). The facilities in Kista where we held the event, were graciously let [...]
a big curl forward
We’re proudly presenting a major new release of curl and libcurl and we call it 7.20.0.
The primary reason we decided to bump the minor number this time was that we introduce a range of new protocols, but we also did some other rather big works. This is the biggest update to curl and libcurl that [...]
httpstate cookie domain pains
Back in 2008, I wrote about when Mozilla started to publish their effort the “publix suffixes list” and I was a bit skeptic.
Well, the problem with domains in cookies of course didn’t suddenly go away and today when we’re working in the httpstate working group in the IETF with documenting how cookies work, we need [...]
an application protocol monster
During the autumn 2009 I was sponsored by a company to work on some new protocols for libcurl to support – IMAP, POP3, SMTP and their TLS-powered versions. It took me a little while to get things working the way I’d like them to due work load elsewhere and other irrelevant distractions.

The material on the site is all in Swedish and all talks are [...]
Adapting to being behind
For many years I’ve always kept up to speed with my commitments in my primary open source projects. I’ve managed to set aside enough time to close the bug reports as fast as they have poured in. This, while stilling having time to work on new features every now and then.
During this last year (or [...]

Run over to the curl download page to get it!
This time, we bring happiness with the best curl and libcurl release ever and it features four changes and a range of bug fixes. The changes to note this time [...]
libcurl in version management
Already before, I’ve mentioned that libcurl is becoming popular within package management.
libcurl is a generic library for file transfers over a wide variety of protocols. Over the years, some of the recent ditributed version management
How much for a bug?
Warning: blog post with no clear conclusion!
I offer support deals to companies that want to get help with Open Source programs I’ve contributed to. The deals I’ve made so far have primarily involved libcurl, c-ares or libssh2, but that’s basically because those are projects in which I participate a lot in (and maintain) so [...]
Conversing through the Internet with cURL and libcurl
I fell over a really nice and friendly introductionary article on curl and libcurl, written by M. Tim Jones, on IBM’s developerWorks site.
I must confess I greatly enjoyed his image showing the network layers and how curl/libcurl fits into the
