THE CHANGELOG
This is a bonus clip from the after call with Daniel Stenberg for episode #153. Daniel shared the details of a “magic feature” in cURL that’s been there for over 6 years. It’s a feature he feels most people don’t know exists.

Notes and Links

To start using this “magic feature”, create a .curlrc dotfile in your root with the following settings to set the -O flag by default on all URLs fetched using cURL.

Default to -O

--remote-name-all
