If a libCurl wrapper using LCB is in development, wouldn't the above
be a non-issue? That is, adding SFTP (or any other libCurl-supported
protocol) shouldn't need to involve writing and testing a lot of new,
security-critical code, since libCurl has already taken care of that?
Or am I missing something?
It's not "in development". I started it (i.e. I wrote about 100 lines
of code and opened a massive can of worms in the process). Then I
stopped and found a different solution.
There's a *lot* of research and development still to do before we can
produce a generally-useful LCB URL library based on libcurl. That
doesn't mean that we don't want to do it, or that we don't think it's
worth doing! It *does* mean that, if we're talking about an
internally-funded project, we're much more likely to be able to provide
a Business-only SFTP extension than do a big refactor around LCB and
libcurl. This is just the reality of the resources available.
On the other hand, if there was external funding for such a project...
