  1. # httpc: HTTP Client
  3. A barebones HTTP client, intended for simple usage like downloading files.
  5. ## Dependencies
  6. - C99 Compiler
  7. - POSIX Shell, Make, and C library
  8. - POSIX utilities for `./configure`: cat, printf, echo
  9. - POSIX utilities for `make clean`: rm
  10. - pkg-config(1)
  11. - `libtls` implementation, for example:
  12.   - <https://www.libressl.org/> (included in OpenBSD)
  13.   - libtls for OpenSSL: <https://git.causal.agency/libretls/about/>
  14.   - libtls for BearSSL: <https://sr.ht/~mcf/libtls-bearssl/>
  16. ## Non-Goals
  17. - Other protocols than HTTP(S)
  18. - curl/wget/… compatibility
  20. Also IDNs are unlikely to be supported as they barely have any serious usage.
  21. For example as of 2024-06-25 I found none in gentoo repo:
  22. ```
  23. grep -E -e 'https?://' /repo/gentoo/*/*/*.ebuild | pcre2grep -u '[\x{0080}-\x{10fffd}]'
  24. ```
  25. And also none puny-encoded:
  26. ```
  27. grep -e 'xn--' /repo/gentoo/*/*/*.ebuild
  28. ```
