Summary: <p>If you’re a sysadmin or a developer, you’ve probably used <em>curl</em> before. Or some kind of project, like PHP, Python, Ruby, … that uses <em>libcurl</em>. You can thank Daniel Stenberg, creator and maintainer of curl, for that.</p> <p>In this episode I talk to Daniel about the history of curl and libcurl, we discuss the web and open source, Google’s Quic, LibreSSL vs OpenSSL and so much more.
