Hello Patrick,
Thank you for your update of the OS400 status.
Running curl from QSH, I see output is a bit random. –version looks broken.
–help is coming a bit, but options are missing.
I would of think that if it was purely CCSID problem, then none of it would be
readable.
-----------
> curl --version
cRP F $
> curl --help
Usage: curl [options...] <url>
This is not the full help, this menu is stripped into categories.
Use "--help category" to get an overview of all categories.
For all options use the manual or "--help all".$
> curl --help all
Usage: curl [options...] <url>
$
> curl --help http
Usage: curl [options...] <url>h
$
> curl --manual
Warning: built-in manual was disabled at build-time
$
-----------
With best regards
Andrew

This comment should have been modified last year:
- curl library is supported on OS400 since Aug 23, 2007
(https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/557cc55f6f398c0cd02571c077d5c73156820513),
- the cli tool since Aug 30, 2023
(https://github.com/curl/curl/commit/6f8d9cc4e9bd4b9c548453d75b660ca2b0d91154):
your mail is the first feedback about it since then.
- The test programs and dummy servers may be compiled but the test suite is not
operational, being perl-driven.
After following all build instructions and making sure QADRT in installed on
the system, I see that output from “curl” command is unreadable. So, I was
wondering if we are missing something in the way we build/run it,
Yes, probably: I suspect a CCSID problem as it is always the case on this OS :-(
I don't know how you have tested the curl command, but be aware that defining
(matching) job/5250/files CCSIDs AND locale is of first importance. Don't rely
on the FFFF CCSID, even if there is a default one.
Obviously you did it right for compilation since you got the final objects.
Likewise, since they run, this is a call time problem.
or “curl” tool is missing OS400 support.
The whole OS400 port does! Not from the current curl developer community that
freely does more than what is reasonable for a niche/closed-source/commerial
platform, but from the people/company that finally take advantages of it.
Regards,
Patrick
