to get our attention and it greatly increases our chances to understand your
problem and to work on a fix (if we agree it truly is a problem).
Lots of problems that appear to be libcurl problems are actually just abuses
of the libcurl API or other malfunctions in your applications. It is advised
that you run your problematic program using a memory debug tool like valgrind
or similar before you post memory-related or "crashing" problems to us.

Please do not assume that you can lump over something to us and it then

We get reports from many people every month and each report can take a
considerable amount of time to really go to the bottom with.

latest curl version, you can most often at least run a test version or
experimental build or similar, to get this confirmed or not.
At times people insist that they cannot upgrade to a modern curl version, but
instead, they "just want the bug fixed". That is fine, just do not count on us
spending many cycles on trying to identify which single commit, if that is
even possible, that at some point in the past fixed the problem you are now
experiencing.

Security wise, it is almost always a bad idea to lag behind the current curl
versions by a lot. We keep discovering and reporting security problems
