- 'CURL *' handles are called 'curl'
- 'CURLM *' handles are called 'multi'
- write callbacks are called 'write_cb'
- read callbacs are called 'read_cb'
- CURLcode variables are called 'res'
It makes the examples look and feel more consistent. It allows for
easier copy and pasting between examples.
Closes#19299
- add `curl_global_init()` and `curl_global_cleanup()` where missing.
- check the result of `curl_global_init()` where missing.
- return the last curl error from `main()`.
- drop Win32-specific socket initialization in favor of `curl_global_init()`.
- rename some outliers to `res` for curl result code.
- fix cleanup in some error cases.
Inspired by Joshua's report on examples.
Closes#19053
- codespell: break logic out into its own runnable script. Allowing
to run it on local machines.
- codespell: install via `pip`, bump to latest version.
- codespell: show version number in CI log.
- codespell: drop no longer needed word exception: `msdos`.
- codespell: include all curl source tree, except `packages` and
`winbuild`. Drop an obsolete file exclusion.
- add new spellchecker job using the `typos` tool. It includes
the codespell dictionary and a couple more. Use linuxbrew to install
it. This takes 10 seconds, while installing via `cargo` from source
would take over a minute.
- codespell: introduce an inline ignore filter compatible with `cspell`
Make `typos` recognize it, too. Move single exceptions inline.
Fix new typos found. Also rename variables and words to keep
spellchecking exceptions at minumum. This involves touching some tests.
Also switch base64 strings to `%b64[]` to avoid false positives.

Use these words and casing more consistently across text, comments and
one curl tool output:
AIX, ALPN, ANSI, BSD, Cygwin, Darwin, FreeBSD, GitHub, HP-UX, Linux,
macOS, MS-DOS, MSYS, MinGW, NTLM, POSIX, Solaris, UNIX, Unix, Unicode,
WINE, WebDAV, Win32, winbind, WinIDN, Windows, Windows CE, Winsock.
Mostly OS names and a few more.
Also a couple of other minor text fixups.
Closes#14360
- they are mostly pointless in all major jurisdictions
- many big corporations and projects already don't use them
- saves us from pointless churn
- git keeps history for us
- the year range is kept in COPYING
checksrc is updated to allow non-year using copyright statements
Closes#10205
- Replace `Github` with `GitHub`.
- Replace `windows` with `Windows`
- Replace `advice` with `advise` where a verb is used.
- A few fixes on removing repeated words.
- Replace `a HTTP` with `an HTTP`
Closes#9802
Add licensing and copyright information for all files in this repository. This
either happens in the file itself as a comment header or in the file
`.reuse/dep5`.
This commit also adds a Github workflow to check pull requests and adapts
copyright.pl to the changes.
Closes#8869
... since people copy and paste code from this example and thus they get
an inefficient POST operation without a good reason and sometimes
without understanding why.
Instead this now returns as much data as possible.
All C and H files now (should) feature the proper project curl source
code header, which includes basic info, a copyright statement and some
basic disclaimers.
