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

borkdude11:12:53

Also try if this works: curl --compressed

lread17:12:50

On Windows 10 under cmd.exe:

OK, I wonder about Windows 11H2. Perhaps @UBLU3FQRZ?

littleli18:12:17

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.

borkdude18:12:41

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 😅

littleli18:12:11

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.

littleli18:12:40

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

borkdude18:12:02

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

littleli19:12:47

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.

borkdude19:12:03

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

borkdude19:12:21

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

borkdude19:12:34

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

@U04V15CAJ Stock Windows 11, latest public version: 

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.900]

So same as @UBLU3FQRZ

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...?

borkdude21:12:24

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

seancorfield21:12:42

(assuming you have WSL2 installed of course)

seancorfield21:12:55

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

littleli21:12:06

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: 

PowerShell 7.3.0

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