[wildfly-dev] Removing curl support from management HTTP

[Darran Lofthouse]

Hello Ladislav,

No 'reasoning' as such at this point, and no decisions taken yet.  We 
are currently discussing the future of domain management especially over 
HTTP and I need to understand how important tools like this are.

We originally had support for standard HTTP clients on the requirements 
list, just need to validate now if it was a valid requirement ;-)

Regards,
Darran Lofthouse.
