How to prevent brew uninstall Cloudflare http3 curl when doing brew upgrade

[zoonderkins]

Hi,

I'm using command below to install curl to support http3

> brew remove -f curl
> curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cloudflare/homebrew-cloudflare/master/curl.rb

When doing brew upgrade, it reinstall back to normal Mac curl.

[junhochoi]

Can you try brew pin curl?

@junhochoi Thanks - can confirm brew pin curl works.

Q: Can we get your suggestion added to Cloudflare's HTTP3-Curl tutorial? That document used to be hosted at: https://developers.cloudflare.com/http3/tutorials/curl-brew ..

... if the docs were deleted and "never coming back", confirmation would still be very helpful (as people are looking for them). For example, it might be the page location changed and there's no redirect so could I be mistakenly assuming it was deleted? TY

In any case, this Issue seems ripe to close. Cheers.

@zoonderkins have you tried with a more recent version of homebrew-cloudflare? Your formula is still pulling 7.81.0, while (at the time of writing) 8.2.0 is out (and soon — hopefully! — so will 8.2.1, already released for 'mainline' curl).

Maybe that fixes the compilation for you — it seems that it's just getting an old header from 7.81.0 and therefore failing.
