Here is a fully working preliminary diff for adding HTTP/3 support to ftp/curl: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/adding-http-3-support-to-ftp-curl.98451/#post-707925 To work correctly, it requires OpenSSL 3.5+. If you could update the port with this, it would be greatly appreciated.
I would also like to see HTTP/3 support added. The linked forum thread also mentions that maybe a new port would work better than modifying the existing one. Any takers? HTTP/3 support was added to cURL on Linux in July 2024, not sure why it's taking so long to get updated on this platform.
Ken, ask the person on the forum to submit the patch. It should be submitted by the person who wrote it.
The person on the forum was only trying to help me get it installed. I don't think they have any interest whatsoever in getting involved in this. I'm simply referencing the information from the forum so the port maintainer can update the port himself. It's only a few edits, so it shouldn't be that difficult or require a patch.
Based on a quick look at that patch, I believe it would be fairly easy to make a merge-able version of it. However, I can't just copy-paste a template from a forum, make changes to it and then submit it as my own. If the author just submits it here first, I can make a revised version of it. I don't have an account on that forum and I'm not going to make one just for sake of sending one message. Seems like the maintainer doesn't have interest in the topic, but I believe this can be done regardless. It'll just take a little longer.
(In reply to Dave from comment #1) I looked and the curl shipped with Ubuntu24 does not support http3 either. Nor does the one from macOS 14. Personally, I would be interested in the opinion of the curl-port maintainer - but it looks like he's very busy (he seems to be the most prolific contributor to ports), so I can understand if he doesn't want to get involved in yet another flavor of one of his ports just now. A http3-enabled curl would also help in creating an icinga-check.
