Sunday surprise!
A friend of mine found an old email from me dated January 17 1997
Attached in this mail was the #httpget 0.2 source code. Previously believed to be lost, now the oldest httpget code I have.
165 lines long. 110 lines code, 30 lines comments, 25 blank lines.
This morning, #curl was 174,854 lines of code, not counting blank lines but comments.
1248 times larger over 28 years.
