 Replying to [comment:57 ryandesign]:
 > > > #51045 was merely the first example of a curl bug that's fixed in
 newer versions that I found to link to this ticket. There's another
 cosmetic issue I found on Leopard that's been fixed. I'm sure there have
 been more bugs fixed in curl over the years.

 > As I recall, curl on Leopard would emit a spurious error message during
 some downloads. As far as I remember this did not affect the ability to
 download the files. I'm not able to find a ticket or other reference to it
 as I don't remember exactly what the error message was so I can't search
 for it now.

 I saw it on Tiger just now:

 {{{
 --->  Fetching distfiles for guile
 --->  Attempting to fetch guile-2.2.7.tar.gz from
 https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile
 --->  Attempting to fetch guile-2.2.7.tar.gz from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/old-
 gnu/guile
 WAITCONNECT => PROTOCONNECT
 --->  Attempting to fetch guile-2.2.7.tar.gz from
 http://mirror.facebook.net/gnu/guile
 --->  Verifying checksums for guile
 }}}

 That unnecessary `WAITCONNECT => PROTOCONNECT` message comes from curl and
 later versions of curl don't print it anymore.
