That wasn't what I was trying to say. These bugs have been fixed in
Emacs (either a recent release or the master branch) but since not
everyone immediately updates to the latest release (much less the master
branch) I do have to provide backports.
Of course switching to something other than url.el won't immediately
address that either and maybe hoping that basing Emacs networking on an
established third-party library would reduce the number and/or severity
of the bugs in the long run is illusory too.
I guess all I can say with any certainty is that in the past if found
url.el painful to use and have seen others share similar experiences.
And that, as layman, I have a hunch that using libcurl might help.
