Hello, We currently support GSS-API with libcurl using three different libraries. As I just added a test case that runs code not previously run in the test suite, I spot what looks like a memory leak in Heimdal. The Heimdal project looks rather abandoned when I look at their GitHub repository. (Not a commit in six months and all builds reported failing.) In order to protect our users against leaks and a stale third party dependency, I want to drop support for Heimdal and focus users toward MIT krb5 or GNU GSS instead. Thoughts? Objections? https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/18928 -- / daniel.haxx.se || https://rock-solid.curl.dev -- Unsubscribe: https://lists.haxx.se/mailman/listinfo/curl-library Etiquette: https://curl.se/mail/etiquette.html
