"I think we in the curl project as well as more or less the entire world has learned through the years that it is usually better to be strict when parsing protocols and data, rather than be lenient and try to accept many things and guess what it otherwise maybe meant."
Found this explicit rejection of the Robustness principle[1] fascinating. It comes after decades of cURL operating in the environment that was an ostensible poster child for the benefits of the principle--i.e., HTML over HTTP.
