@ -100,6 +100,52 @@ Hurl has two main functionalities on top of [curl]:
With its [asserts], responses can be easily tested.
Hurl benefits from the features of the `libcurl` against it is linked. You can check `libcurl` version with `hurl --version`.
For instance on macOS:
```shell
$ hurl --version
hurl 2.0.0 libcurl/7.79.1 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/3.3.6 zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.45.1
Features (libcurl): alt-svc AsynchDNS HSTS HTTP2 IPv6 Largefile libz NTLM NTLM_WB SPNEGO SSL UnixSockets
Features (built-in): brotli
```
You can also check which `libcurl` is used.
On macOS:
```shell
$ which hurl
/opt/homebrew/bin/hurl
$ otool -L /opt/homebrew/bin/hurl:
/usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 10.0.0, current version 10.9.0)
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework/Versions/A/CoreFoundation (compatibility version 150.0.0, current version 1858.112.0)
/usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 9.0.0)
/usr/lib/libiconv.2.dylib (compatibility version 7.0.0, current version 7.0.0)
/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1311.100.3)
```
On Linux:
```shell
$ which hurl
/root/.cargo/bin/hurl
$ ldd /root/.cargo/bin/hurl
ldd /root/.cargo/bin/hurl
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x0000ffff8656a000)
libxml2.so.2 => /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libxml2.so.2 (0x0000ffff85fe8000)
libcurl.so.4 => /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4 (0x0000ffff85f45000)
libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x0000ffff85f21000)
...
libkeyutils.so.1 => /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libkeyutils.so.1 (0x0000ffff82ed5000)
libffi.so.7 => /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libffi.so.7 (0x0000ffff82ebc000)
```
Note that some Hurl features are dependent on `libcurl` capacities: for instance, if your `libcurl` doesn't support
HTTP/2 Hurl won't be able to send HTTP/2 request.

### How can I use a custom libcurl (from Homebrew by instance)?

1. Edit `/etc/ssl/cert.pem` and remove the expired certificate (for instance, the `DST Root CA X3` has expired)
2. Use a recent curl (installed with Homebrew) and [configure Hurl to use it].
### Hurl warning on Big Sur: Closing connection 0
In Big Sur, the system version of libcurl (7.64.1), has a bug that [erroneously
displays `* Closing connection 0` on `stderr`]. To fix Hurl not to output this
warning, one can link Hurl to a newer version of libcurl.
For instance, to use the latest libcurl with Homebrew:
```shell
$ brew install curl
$ sudo install_name_tool -change /usr/lib/libcurl.4.dylib /usr/local/opt/curl/lib/libcurl.4.dylib /usr/local/bin/hurl
