A fact that you know because you are a dev, but not because you read it in the documentation. Zypper(8) doesn't mention that it uses libcurl to do the downloading.
because zypper does not use libcurl to do the downloading.. :) it is libzypp that do,specifically, when MediaCurl interface is used, that depends on what kind of repository we are talking about.
Whatever :-) The fact remains that we users do not know what it uses to download and how can we adjust it, it is not documented what zyppers uses.
And, as has been commented that zypper now uses or will use aria2c or metalinks libs to do the downloading, I'm not sure if zypper in 11.1 still uses curl or not.
libzypp uses libcurl unless ZYPP_ARIA2C environment variable is defined.
One more little thing to note. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAklhEOYACgkQtTMYHG2NR9VssACdHXo1ivNu7rii9Lw/0fTC/4hw 4zQAn2jNZ1zO62b2ovBTVyIzGDbKLxNr =ACYQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
