sqump VS libcurl

Well this is fun to see. After Postman deleted my local data after I declined a cloud account, I started working on my own tool: https://github.com/EvWilson/sqump

Some similar ideas - actually treats the file system as authoritative, runs locally, can share collections via source control with teammates. Difference in this case is that I used Lua as a lightweight scripting layer that I gave all my necessary tools to. So now I have a HTTP toolkit, and some for Kafka as well (which I use a good bit). I’ve been able to use it to replace all my API testing and development, as well as perform some more involved migrations and some dashboard-like actions (e.g. can list out resources and then check failures for each of their IDs).

It’s also just a single binary with the web UI and CLI bundled in, which works more for me. Still early days for the little tool, but hoping it could be helpful for someone else.

Then, in another terminal window, we use curl to hit the endpoint:

Made a PR to curl in line with the above: https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/13338

Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

From the GitHub Issue itself, the maintainer did end up creating a PR to fix a related issue: https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/12983

Also, the bot filed another issue despite the complaints.

This Docker image is designed to support implementing Github Actions with Python. As of version 4.0.0., it starts with the official python docker image as the base which is a Debian OS. It specifically uses python:3-slim to keep the image size down for faster loading of Github Actions that use pyaction. On top of the base, we've installed curl gpg, git, and the GitHub CLI. We added curl and gpg because they are needed to install the GitHub CLI, and they may come in handy anyway (especially curl) when implementing a GitHub Action.
