I lost a lot of work by accident that I didn't push yet. 🥲
And I excluded them from backups because I thought that I'd push them "soon" anyway.
All it took was a mistake when running `rsync`.
Stay safe folks.

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.

On this day seventeen years ago I learned something about locales and Turkish that has scarred me for life: I is not always uppercase i!

strcasecmp in Turkish
A friendly user submitted the (lib)curl bug report #2154627 which identified a problem with our URL parser. It doesn’t treat “`file://`” as a known protocol if the locale in use is Turkish.
This was the beginning of a minor world-moving revelation for me. Of course this is already known to mankind and I’m just behind, but really: lots of my fellow hacker friends had no idea either.
So “`file`” and “`FILE`” are not the same word case insensitively in Turkish because ‘i’ is not the lowercase version of ‘I’.
Back to strcasecmp: POSIX pretty much makes the function useless by saying that “The results are unspecified in other locales [than POSIX]”.
I’m a bit annoyed by this fact, as now I have to introduce my own function (which thus cannot use tolower() or toupper() since they also are affected by the locale) and use since the strings in our code is clearly used for “English” strings so file and FILE truly are the same string when compared case insensitively…
