A convenient package that allows developers to interact with the curl command within elegance of the Dart programming language.

This wrapper simplifies the process of sending HTTP requests, handling responses, and managing data transfers, providing a more intuitive and efficient way to work with curl functionality in the Dart ecosystem. By encapsulating the complexity of curl within a straightforward wrapper, developers can leverage its power and flexibility while benefiting from the simplicity and elegance of the Dart programming language.

Motivation

Allow https connections with TLS less than 1.2 through curl.

Legacy systems or older applications that rely on older TLS versions for compatibility reasons. These systems might not have been upgraded to support TLS 1.2 or higher due to various constraints, such as limited resources, technical limitations, or compatibility issues with certain dependencies. In such cases, allowing HTTPS connections with TLS versions less than 1.2 through curl would enable these systems to continue functioning without major modifications.

Certain devices or environments might enforce outdated TLS configurations due to specific security policies or restrictions. These networks may still rely on older TLS versions for various reasons, such as interoperability with legacy systems or compliance with specific regulations. Allowing curl to establish HTTPS connections with TLS versions less than 1.2 would ensure compatibility and connectivity in these constrained environments.

However, it's important to note that TLS versions prior to 1.2 (such as TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1) are considered less secure and potentially vulnerable to various security threats. TLS 1.2 introduced significant improvements in terms of security, encryption algorithms, and cryptographic protocols. Therefore, it's generally recommended to use TLS 1.2 or higher for secure communications.

Example

import 'package:curt/curt.dart';

///
/// 
/// 
void main() async {
  final Curt curt = Curt();
  final CurtResponse response = await curt.get(Uri.parse('https://google.com'));
  print('Status Code: ${response.statusCode}');
  print('Headers: ${response.headers}');
  print('Body:\n${response.body}');
}
