Hello Patrick.

Thank you for your reply.

The versions are:
OS400: V7R4
curl: 8.7.2
QADRTDEV: 20211112

Once I get into QSH, I build CURL using a script like this:
-----
CURLOUT=$PWD/curlout

# Untar CURL
tar -xvf curl-8.7.2.tar

# Ouput folder
mkdir $CURLOUT

# Get into the folder with AS400 build files
cd curl-8.7.2/packages/OS400

# Generate overrides file
echo "#!/bin/sh" > config400.override
echo "setenv TARGETLIB QMAKTMP" >> config400.override
echo "setenv SRVPGM LIBCURL" >> config400.override
echo "setenv TGTCCSID '37'" >> config400.override
echo "setenv DEBUG '*SOURCE'" >> config400.override
echo "setenv IFSDIR '$CURLOUT'" >> config400.override

# Build curl
echo "Building LIBCURL"
chmod a+x *.sh
/usr/bin/sh makefile.sh > build.curl.log 2>&1
-----

Then from the “curlout/bin”:
> curl
  c$
> curl --version
  cRP F $

However “curl http://www.google.com” produces readable output.

And if I try getting verbose output, it does makes sense too. Something like: “curl –verbose http://www.google.com > out.txt”

With best regards
Andrew

I would of think that if it was purely CCSID problem, then none of it would be readable.

Sorry, but I can't reproduce on V7R5.

The only weird thing I have is some output lines (only curl-generated lines, not data lines) are joined in the QSH output, as in:

   $

   This is not the full help; this menu is split into categories.
   Use "--help category" to get an overview of all categories, which are:auth, connection, curl, deprecated, dns, file, ftp, global,
    http, imap, ldap,
   output, pop3, post, proxy, scp, sftp, smtp, ssh, telnet, tftp, timeout, tls,
   upload, verbose.
   For all options use the manual or "--help all".$

I don't know why yet, but I wouldn't say it's unreadable. I suspect the puts() implementation of QADRT, but that does not explain your problem.

Which version are you using? If it's a development one, please tell us the checkout date/time. Thanks.

For bug reports, I suggest you use https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&projects=&template=bug_report.yml or write your mail to the list with info requested on this page. Thanks.

BTW: did you try some true request, something like 'curl http://www.google.com/'?

This one is normal: there is no tool on the OS/400 to build the manual, thus it's disabled!
