Obvious question, why didn't they just implement the security features necessary? They could have contacted Daniel to get his cooperation.
Edit: Answer is in the comments. So they should have just implemented a wrapper ontop of libcurl. But I guess the real effort here is to promote WinHttp as a replacement for libcurl. And since the developer community at large is so used to libcurl they made a wrapper for WinHttp instead. Oh lord.

- hducy4 3y agoAs far as triple E goes this embrace seems pretty limp.
- johannes1234321 3y agoThe purpose is to restrict HTTP features and where it can connect to and proxy usage to restrict "wrong" doing. (for some definition of wrong) WinHttp itself is relatively high level, comparable to curl. Most likely this is using curl headers, but a complete custom implementation, nothing upstreamable. (Especially as Daniel probably won't like the burden of supporting a proprietary platform he doesn't have access to)
