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.
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. -- "We have art in order not to die of the truth" - Friedrich Nietzsche Cristian Rodríguez R. Platform/OpenSUSE - Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH Research & Development http://www.opensuse.org/
