If the URL that -G would try to add a query to could not be parsed, it would display curl: (27) Out of memory It now instead shows: curl: (2) Could not parse the URL, failed to set query Reported-by: Alex Xu Fixes #9889

Hm... as I understand, in new curl versions, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/296536/how-to-urlencode-data-for-curl-command/10797966 won't work anymore. Is there a better way to URL-encode some query string parameters and also send request body? |
I don't understand what you say won't work anymore. We don't break behavior. Also, not really related to this bug. |

sorry, I meant to link to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/296536/how-to-urlencode-data-for-curl-command/10797966#10797966. example: |

My points remain the same. Why wouldn't that work? |

Steps to reproduce
Expected results
No output, or
curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL.Actual results
Additional information
The actual command is closer to
curl -Gso /dev/null -w '%{url_effective}' --data-urlencode 'foo=bar?' /path, which in previous curl versions returned/path?foo=bar%3Fbut now returnscurl: (27) Out of memory. This usage is arguably dubious to begin with, but if it is not supported, I think the error message shouldn't be "Out of memory".curl/libcurl version
