I was under the impression that curl worked on more platforms than Rust and LLVM. It will be interesting to see what happens to curl support on those platforms going forward.
- dralley 6y agoLibcurl supports multiple compile-time backends for http support, encryption, and so forth. This will be no different. Hyper will be just one option among many, as will Rustls.
- masklinn 6y agoAs the article indicates, it would be but one of dozens of existing backends, although it'd be one where few alternative backends currently exist (HTTP/1 and HTTP/2). For instance libcurl can use any of 13 different TLS backends (one of which is already in Rust), or 3 different HTTP/3 backend (one of which is in rust).
