5: A Series of Anecdotes

In this episode, Sean and Sam discuss the challenges of feedback cycles in organizations, how we could benefit from more feedback in open source, and some idiosyncrasies regarding libcurl and the HTTP/1.1 specification.

• crates.io's (WIP) background processing
• Specification of the Accept-Encoding header (you SHOULD NOT send gzip if it's not included)
• Replacing libcurl with reqwest in crates.io
• Sam properly sets the Host header in http.rb
• Specification of the Date header
