Can people running Windows in here, type curl --version and report the output + the Windows version? In a thread please.

Also try if this works: curl --compressed

OK, I wonder about Windows 11H2. Perhaps @ales.najmann?

littleli 2022-12-04T18:47:17.722949Z

Sorry I don't have an instance with Win 11 yet. But Win10 really contains stone age version of curl which does not support this. And what's even worse it's quite difficult to setup override.

borkdude 2022-12-04T18:49:41.402309Z

The reason I'm asking is, I am using windows 11 and it does work for me, but I don't know if I once copied the binary from scoop into system32 😅

littleli 2022-12-04T18:50:11.163959Z

scoop contains newer version of curl... but I'm still not able to run just curl but I have to use full path to scoop binary, probably because I'm unable to go on PATH before system one.

littleli 2022-12-04T18:51:40.403259Z

If they ship still the old version of curl with Win11 I don't know what to say 😞 Sad.

borkdude 2022-12-04T18:53:02.769629Z

that's what I'm trying to find out :)

littleli 2022-12-04T18:54:43.406149Z

I'm afraid they really do... check: https://curl.se/windows/microsoft.html https://curl.se/windows/

littleli 2022-12-04T19:53:47.290479Z

Depending on a usecase one can use Powershell commandlet to download a file or a page like this

Invoke-WebRequest  -OutFile C:\file.txt

It's probably capable of doing relatively broad range of functionality as a http client.

borkdude 2022-12-04T19:55:03.867039Z

I'm approaching this from babashka's babashka.curl

borkdude 2022-12-04T19:55:21.048449Z

Which uses --compressed by default (for a while now)

borkdude 2022-12-04T19:55:34.416849Z

and this crashes when curl doesn't support that argument (unfortunately)

littleli 2022-12-04T19:56:55.922379Z

yeah 😕

So same as @ales.najmann

borkdude 2022-12-04T21:27:31.454179Z

Thank you!

seancorfield 2022-12-04T21:27:59.553059Z

And the very latest Windows 11 Insider build -- more recent curl but still no compressed option:

I've been asking for over a year now: https://twitter.com/borkdude/status/1394990041680818179

seancorfield 2022-12-04T21:29:50.015539Z

Given how much MS have promoted WSL2 as the "programmers' option", I don't know how inclined they would be to expend effort on updating CMD...?

borkdude 2022-12-04T21:30:24.457459Z

This isn't cmd specific, it's a binary which lives in system32 which affects the whole system

(assuming you have WSL2 installed of course)

seancorfield 2022-12-04T21:31:55.180479Z

I know... not helpful... I get it...

littleli 2022-12-04T21:37:06.612879Z

After manual intervention in system settings, I made it working. Skilled devs will know what to do, but it's annoying that it's not working on the first run:

Apparently it does help when you persist :) https://twitter.com/DHowett/status/1599530152223907840
