I'm planning bundle a libcurl wrapper with Euphoria 4.2 (including DLLs on on Windows and rely on system libcurl on *nix). I originally planned to then rebuild std/net/http.e as a wrapper for CURL but after working on FFI I'm thinking I'll just mark std/net/http.e routines as deprecate and leave it at that.
I agree. Because our user base is small, let's leave it in there so we don't infuriate the n users that use it. I wonder whether n is 0.
Three opinions:
If i ever get a website again, i won't spring for https support. It's like, i put the site up for people to read, why secure it so people can read it in private? As a consumer, wget.
On a lan that's airgapped from the net, plain ole http is a handy way for those computers to talk amongst themselves.
PS: i do use wget-1.20.3-win64 , called from OE sometimes, to access https sites online. I've used wget since the Eu v3 days.
