curl is mostly libcurl, `curl` the executable command is just one of the ways to interface with it.
(Unless you're saying "let's pretend to reimplement curl by wrapping around curl behind the scenes," which is delightfully tautological.)
- dtech 5y agoI think they meant their languages HTTP client, not literally the libcurl bindings
- Piskvorrr 5y agoIndeed. And that default client is, statistically, likely to use libcurl under the hood (because who has time to fix all those pesky corner cases that you wouldn't think of in 10 years? Obviously someone who's been doing that stuff for 25 years.).
- rcxdude 5y agoI don't think most languages with an HTTP client in the standard library use libcurl for it (certainly python, java, and C# do not).
