@ -34,13 +34,19 @@ When curl is invoked, it (unless --disable is used) checks for a default
config file and uses it if found. The default config file is checked for in
the following places in this order:
1) curl tries to find the "home dir": It first checks for the CURL_HOME and
then the HOME environment variables. Failing that, it uses getpwuid() on
Unix-like systems (which returns the home dir given the current user in your
system). On Windows, it then checks for the APPDATA variable, or as a last
resort the '%USERPROFILE%\\Application Data'.
1) Use the CURL_HOME environment variable if set
2) On windows, if there is no .curlrc file in the home dir, it checks for one
2) Use the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable if set (Added in 7.73.0)
3) Use the HOME environment variable if set
4) Non-windows: use getpwuid to find the home directory
5) Windows: use APPDATA if set
6) Windows: use "USERPROFILE\Application Data" if set
7) On windows, if there is no .curlrc file in the home dir, it checks for one
in the same dir the curl executable is placed. On Unix-like systems, it will
simply try to load .curlrc from the determined home dir.
