- librtmp has no test cases, makes no proper releases and has not had a
single commit within the last year
- librtmp parses the URL itself and requires non-compliant URLs for this
- we have no RTMP tests
- RTMP was used by 2.2% of curl users (self-identified in the 2025
survey)
Closes#20673
- drop leading indent from Markdown.

- misc clang-format nits.
- unfold Markdown links.
- SSL-PROBLEMS.md: drop stray half code-fence.
Closes#20402
Instead of use 'docs/*.md' in dep5. For clarity and avoiding a wide-
matching wildcard.
+ Remove mention of old files from .reuse/dep5
+ add info to .github/dependabot.yml
+ make scripts/copyright.pl warn on non-matching patterns
Closes#13245
curldown is this new file format for libcurl man pages. It is markdown
inspired with differences:
- Each file has a set of leading headers with meta-data
- Supports a small subset of markdown
- Uses .md file extensions for editors/IDE/GitHub to treat them nicely
- Generates man pages very similar to the previous ones
- Generates man pages that still convert nicely to HTML on the website
- Detects and highlights mentions of curl symbols automatically (when
their man page section is specified)
tools:
- cd2nroff: converts from curldown to nroff man page
- nroff2cd: convert an (old) nroff man page to curldown
- cdall: convert many nroff pages to curldown versions
- cd2cd: verifies and updates a curldown to latest curldown
This setup generates .3 versions of all the curldown versions at build time.
CI:
Since the documentation is now technically markdown in the eyes of many
things, the CI runs many more tests and checks on this documentation,
including proselint, link checkers and tests that make sure we capitalize the
first letter after a period...
Closes#12730
Mostly based on recent language decisions from "everything curl":
- remove contractions (isn't => is not)
- *an* HTTP (consistency)
- runtime (no hyphen)
- backend (no hyphen)
- URL is uppercase
Closes#8646
According to wikipedia:
While "web site" was the original spelling, this variant has become
rarely used, and "website" has become the standard spelling
Closes#5822
Added a few of the more notable milestones in curl history that were
missing. Primarily more recent ones but I also noted some older that
could be worth mentioning.
[ci skip]
Closes#3257
We're mostly saying just "curl" in lower case these days so here's a big
cleanup to adapt to this reality. A few instances are left as the
project could still formally be considered called cURL.
