When you‘re low on RAM, I recommend using a recent #curl for your internet transfers.
It can shuffle gigabytes back and forth using a few MB of your memory (mostly used by openssl).
If you develop an application, you can use #libcurl to gain its benefits.
Need to shape your traffic? For example bc you run a streaming service? #libcurl does that for you for all HTTP versions.

If you have an idea for a <500 line stand-alone example C code using #libcurl, tell us!

On this day last year, #libcurl celebrated its 18th anniversary of not breaking the ABI.
That makes it 19 years now.

Yesterday I requested a person to pay for support as they desperately asked me for immediate help with their #libcurl problem (for a huge international company doing an expensive commercial device), seemingly in a hurry.
To which the user said no thanks, closed the issue and vanished.
