@bagder from one host, or globally ?
@bagder sorry that's me, messed up a for loop just as my Bluetooth keyboard ran out of battery
that's just the ones that still say curl in the user-agent header (ie the command line tool). libcurl requests don't advertise curl and many users set it to something else. The real usage is therefore much higher.
It's hard to say how much of the total web traffic Fastly serves. Is it 5%? 10?
