I've added this one to the downloads page.

This sounds like it belongs on https://curl.se/libcurl/bindings.html as a
language binding, but I'm not familiar enough with Swift to say whether it
belongs under the Swift or Objective-C category, since both are mentioned in
the project.

Also, the project site talks about "libcurl's own "multi" multithreading",
except libcurl's multi API has nothing to do with multithreading; it provides
an alternative to multithreading and, in fact, each handle MUST be used in a
single thread. It's really an async API that could be considered a way to
implement cooperative multitasking.
