I was rather thinking of something like 'ssh -L' provides, but without using intermediate local sockets. There are entry points in libssh and libssh2 that can be used to implement that feature. It would be very handy to avoid a parallel ssh process for that, especially if you use the library rather than the tool. In addition, an hypothetical future rsync backend would be almost useless (except in unsecured cases) without it, as rsync standard encryption is provided by ssh, not SSL. - proxies stack Is this not what --preproxy already allows at least with an additional proxy? Or do you actually mean even more proxies in the chain? Do you (or anyone else) actually have a real use case for this? I have not heard of any such. This would be a generalization of this case, allowing multilevel nested "tunnelling" with any supporting protocol in any order, each level adding a layer. I think cfilters could relatively easily allow it: if we consider SSL as a pseudo-proxy, https over https tunnel is already a particular case of a 3-level proxy stack. We could even imagine more "matroska-like" situations with SOCKS and suggested SSH proxies! In short, the idea is to bring much of cfilters under user control ! And you may not have heard of it, but YOU spoke of a possible real case use in a paper I can't find on the net anymore: it was about reaching your home server from your corporate office network !

Setting up the user survey 2024
Hello, I have started to work on the 2024 version of the user survey. If things go well, we can run it two weeks later in May. As per usual, I copied the version from last year and I have edited it slightly - mostly based on the feedback from last year as listed in my analysis document [1]. New questions so far: - Tell us the version number of a current curl install you use! - Which curl command line option is your favorite? - Which curl command line option do you think improvement and how? - Have you used the trurl tool? On the multi-option question "Which curl command line option do you think improvement and how?" I have added a number of new answer options: - HTTP Message Signatures - RFC 9421 - HTTPS DNS records - HTTP/3 proxying - Select name resolver backend at run-time - A GUI version of the curl tool - data: URL support - WebTransport - Option to change HTTP request header order - WebSocket support in command line tool Anything else I should remember to include/remove/ask ?
