Sv: If you're using an official curl for Windows 32-bit build instead of 64-bit please tell us why

We are not experts in curl. We try to write programs to control devices that work with curl. The documentation that exists, I feel, is written for people who know curl. We just need to link in curl dll and curl lib. It's messy with all versions, so we've tried things out, and of course we want to use the latest version, and we've obviously used the wrong version.

It would be easier if the documentation was written for ordinary IT people without deep knowledge of the products around.

If you are using an official curl for Windows 32-bit build we would like
to hear why you use it instead of a 64-bit build. We are considering no
longer releasing an official 32-bit build. [1][2]

If you are using the official 32-bit build then i686 is the prefix in
your build triplet:

32-bit build: curl 8.6.0 (i686-w64-mingw32)

64-bit build: curl 8.6.0 (x86_64-w64-mingw32)

You can see your build triplet by running curl --version. Builds of curl
other than official curl builds are not relevant for this discussion.
(Such as you built curl yourself, have a different build triplet or you
are using Microsoft's build of curl that comes with Windows). We are not
planning to end support for making 32-bit builds of curl, just no longer
releasing an official 32-bit build.

Thanks
