I’ve been using cURL but always had a feeling not to its potential basically because the cURL man page [WayBack] is both massive and lacks concrete useful practical examples.
For instance, I knew about the --header and --verbose options (I always use verbose names even though shorter -H and -v exist) to pass a specific header and get verbose output, but the man page basic examples like this by Tader:
A bogon prefix is a route that should never appear in the Internet routing table. A packet routed over the public Internet (not including over VPNs or other tunnels) should never have a source address in a bogon range. These are commonly found as the source addresses of DDoS attacks.
The regular Bogon list is pretty static (last change in 2012), so I’ve listed the text version below. But the full Bogon list (including unused IPv4 space) is dynamic.
You can get the below help when pressing these keys in an OpensSSH session:
Enter
~
?
So thats Enter, followed by tilde, then question mark.
Then you get this help:
Supported escape sequences:
~. - terminate connection (and any multiplexed sessions)
~B - send a BREAK to the remote system
~C - open a command line
~R - request rekey
~V/v - decrease/increase verbosity (LogLevel)
~^Z - suspend ssh
~# - list forwarded connections
~& - background ssh (when waiting for connections to terminate)
~? - this message
~~ - send the escape character by typing it twice
(Note that escapes are only recognized immediately after newline.)
The one I use most is below; it leaves my tmux session alone.

From the search results, it wasn’t exactly clear what I did wrong, as the “Show Package Contents” context menu showed “…/Contents/MacOS/fzsftp”
Then I remembered I got a bit confused with all the FileZilla updates coming out and renaming it to contain a version number (I do that with many applications so I can keep old versions allowing me to quickly revert to an older version if there are version compatibilities).
Renaming FileZilla.3.16.x.app back to FileZilla.app solved the issue: apparently FileZilla has a hardcoded dependency on exactly that name. I got there because of the hint about spaces in directories from this thread: fzsftp could not be started – FileZilla Forums
When cargo updates its crates.io registry, it creates a file for each crate, no extension, just the name.The name nul is not a valid name in windows 10, so cargo fails to update the registry, and then aborts whatever it was doing (building, searching, ect.).I think this project should be re-published to crates.io under a new name, something like null-strings perhaps?
Here is what I see with verbose. I get this trying to install clippy or rustfmt. I assume I would get it with other crates.Updating registry https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index
error: [20/-1] Cannot checkout to invalid path ‘3/n/nul’
BTW: one of my gripes on learning new languages is that they come with a whole new idiom of their ecosystem: rust, cargo, crates, all sound like being a truck mechanic to me.
