Hi,

Generally, I believe using sscanf() for string parsing is a footgun so I have over a long time been working on reducing sscanf calls in curl.

Now there is a graph showing this progress:

There is also this PR that can remove the last three sscanf() calls completely, by also introducing a set of string parsing functions:

  https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/15692

When that is done, we can ban sscanf completely from being used to not accidentaly re-introduce any:
