 affected port: curl @8.80 +http3 +gnutls \\
 macOS 14.5 \\
 Apple M3 Pro Chip \\
 macports: 2.9.3

 Description: \\
 For a current project I wanted to test my curl scripts against http3. As
 the curl shipping with macOS 14.5. doesn't support http3 I installed curl
 @8.80 with the +http3 variant which changed the secure socket layer from
 ssl to gnutls.

 Basic commands like


 {{{
 curl --http3 https://blog.cloudflare.com -I
 }}}


 work.

 Using the -w or --write-out option like


 {{{
 curl -Is -w '%header{location}' -o /dev/null https://github.com/SAP/macOS-
 icon-generator/releases/latest
 }}}

 I get an empty output and an exit code 43.


 Using the build in macos curl @8.60 and default macports curl @8.80 +ssl
 variant the above command


 {{{
 curl -Is -w '%header{location}' -o /dev/null https://github.com/SAP/macOS-
 icon-generator/releases/latest
 }}}


 gives me the expected output of


 {{{
 https://github.com/SAP/macOS-icon-generator/releases/tag/2.0.0
 }}}

 On github there is this static curl [https://github.com/stunnel/static-
 curl] for macOS which uses openssl, supports http3 and works as expected.

 During the build phase for the curl +http3 variant I noticed this warning:
 {{{
 Warning: Configuration logfiles contain indications of -Wimplicit-
 function-declaration; check that features were not accidentally disabled:
   getpass_r: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   _fseeki64: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   IoctlSocket: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   ioctlsocket: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   memrchr: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   CloseSocket: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
   closesocket: found in curl-8.8.0/config.log
 }}}

 I found this blog entry [https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2024/06/10/http-3-in-
 curl-mid-2024/] which explains to me that using openssl for http3 isn't
 easy and the best choice for http3. Therefore I understand using gnutls
 for http3 what I don't understand is that curl commands using the -w
 option break with gnutls and http3.
