      This has been solved since 1999. Read the manual.

      The deeper I get into Linux, the more I feel exactly this about most software in general. We just love reinventing the wheel, don’t we?

        I have been working as a professional in the dev space for over 25 years. I have contributed to developing the same software over a dozen times, some even at the same company. Over time the tools have changed, the people have changed and my role has changed. But the overall specs have remained very similar if not the exact same.

        Recently I did a job for a company where I was a consultant on a large project, they specifically sought me out for my expertise in the subject matter (having been involved in many similar projects). One of the C suites left the company near the end of the project, no reason given. This week he contacted me, he is now a C suite at another big company. They want to do the exact same project and want to hire me because of my expertise. I laughed my ass off, but am very happy with the work and he is a good guy (as far as C suites can be at least).

      -Curl “https://justuse.org/curl/”

      -Returns a ton of html stuff

      Can’t even comply with their own argument.

            Yeah? That’s what the response is. What do you expect?

              I tried the suggestion and saw that the original complaint persisted.

              I didn’t expect anything to be honest.

      It would be fun to create a CURL converter. Just simple aliases or conversion tool.

      I just looked it up, looks like there may be something like it here: https://github.com/christianhelle/curlgenerator

      I like the look of this: https://www.createopenapi.com/

      I thought no one would ask :) just open sourced it a few weeks ago. But I promise I will never pay someone to praise it pretending to be a developer.

        As a developer who painstakingly crafts HTTP requests all day, I love Voiden! Voiden saves me so much time with its awesome turbo request encabulator feature.

    Same thing with every single tool. 90% of posts have hidden promotion. If not direct, then in the comments OP will “recommend”. If not in the comments - they are playing long game and wait to gain trust.
