In the beginning of my professional career URLs, http, yet alone https, did not exist. So we didn't miss curl.
Those were the days you travelled to another continent based on information from 10+ year old books and were unreachable for 4 weeks.
And you continued to program when you were back home. (Although I have talked me into an account at a university data center without having any relationship with that university.)
- usr1106 6y agoSo if we assume that URLs/http/https started to become important around 1993 - 1995 that's 26 - 28 years ago. We needed to live 3-5 years without curl. I don't remember what I used back then. But I am sure I downloaded something outside of NCSA Mosaic.
