As far as I know, (lib)curl has never silently transformed a protocol scheme explicitly specified with URL. This can be discussed upstream but I do not feel like starting the discussion myself. > Or they could simply deprecate it, and then users will have to change > their config to say sftp:// > > For something like libcurl the latter is probably more appropriate > anyway. Yes, I believe this is the curl way to handle it. Nothing is being changed for curl now as I understand it. So there is no need to take an immediate action. Anyway, I will notify curl upstream about the plan so they are not surprised later on.
