That's basically https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:21. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51516#comment:22 for a partial response to that. MacPorts does not use the curl command to download files, it uses the libcurl library. We cannot simply switch to a different libcurl library, and reimplementing the code in pextlib1.0/curl.c to use the curl command line is a huge effort for little gain. -- Clemens
