It's interesting to compare the revenue model of Curl to SQLite.<p>Both are permissively licensed.<p>Both are embedded in billions of offerings.<p>Both launched around the same time.<p>SQLite has built a multi-million dollar annual business supporting it, while Curl I believe has not.
It also looks like the Ruby GEM has a resource leak with it :) (or it doesn't terminate the connection? The server is timing out saying the full body has not been read).<p>Curl 8 got pulled into a base image update to Alpine Linux.
