Upgrade curl

[teddywing]

Livecheck fails when attempting to connect to the domain pyropus.ca. in the following ports:

• https://ports.macports.org/port/getmail/details/
• https://ports.macports.org/port/memtester/details/

This is caused by a problem in Curl.

In the discussion in curl/curl#8290 , @ryandesign found that the absolute (fully qualified domain name) problem was introduced in curl/curl@5de8d84 released in curl 7.37.0.

The problem was then corrected in curl/curl@b27ad8e , released in curl 7.82.0.

Currently, the MacPorts web app appears to use curl 7.68.0 (https://hub.docker.com/layers/arjunsalyan/macports-ubuntu/20.04_2.8.1).

Would it be possible to switch to curl 7.82.0 or later on the MacPorts web server to fix this livecheck issue?

Best would be to fix MacPorts base so that it works correctly with any version of curl. See https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67186.

Oh yes, that’s a good idea. In that case, I’m not sure whether you want the same thing tracked in two places. Feel free to close this ticket if it makes things easier.
