       Twenty-nine years ago on this day, #httpget 0.1 was released.I found the tool a few days later and within a few months I became the maintainer. We later renamed it. Twice. The last name it got is #curl. It stuck.httpget was my first insight and lesson into HTTP and since then I have kept learning it.httpget 0.1 was written by Rafael Sagula, who unfortunately is not with us anymore.

       @ruari httpget 0.1 was about 100 lines, all of those lines were replaced and gone within the first year or so...
