When I spoke to these guys [0] we touched on those quirks and foibles
that make a signature (including TCP stack stuff beyond control of any
userspace app).
I love this curl, but I worry that if a component takes on the role of
deception in order to "keep up" it accumulates a legacy of hard to
maintain "compatibility" baggage.
Ideally it should just say... "hey I'm curl, let me in"
The problem of course lies with a server that is picky about dress
codes, and that problem in turn is caused by crooks sneaking in
disguise, so it's rather a circular chicken and egg thing.
