> Hyper is a fast and safe HTTP implementation Well.. Hyper does rely on unsafe blocks (14 at first glance[2]), so I don't know if we can just assume that it's safe. When Sergey Davidoff did their big smoke test of popular Rust HTTP implementations they found a couple of bugs[1] (through Reqwest).

I love the idea of a safer cURL, but I don't think you should take this as a magical answer to all of cURL's problems.

Well kinda but people are saying that it is memory safe, which is not a guarantee with unsafe code.
