I am thinking of writing a Gemini FUSE driver, and while thinking, I came up with a question: why curl and wget are popular, but HTTP FUSE drivers are not (I can't think of any)? Is it just accidental or is there an appropriate reason?

curl and wget are pretty fool proof and dont require any setup or config. Installing a FUSE driver on the other hand... · 3 years ago

Well, HTTP is probably just too compilcated for that, I guess. I can't think of any good way to express headers and cookies through filesystem paths. You could write all needed for request info to a file, then reopen it and read the answer, I guess?

I'm pretty sure there is still a chance for Gemini FUSE · 3 years ago
