This is being blown out of proportion. You're discounting an entire project and your experience of the software over a person expressing exasperation over an inconsequential feature (not a bug) that even the author of curl had his run through and frustration. The request was not dismissed, rather it was discussed at length on our issue tracker. The OP knows it was discussed at length because they linked to the discussion thread in the earlier times they brought this up. Moreover, the way they presented it this time is snide, agree or not. To quote Matt's statement of the project being "stable and mature" just to say "except you didn't implement my niche feature" (yes, editorialized) is not criticism nor a feature request. It's veiled instigation hiding behind plausible deniability.

Anyways, on the feature request, Caddy is not the only software who disagrees with it being valid, and curl had their back-and-forth on it. There's no legitimate bug being dismissed, and you can go through the issue tracker to audit it. Equating this discussion with 37signals or Signal is false equivalence.

> a person expressing exasperation

They accused them of a grudge, an attack, slander, and shoving it in their face. For something as mild as this:

> There still remains this simple to reproduce bug where the page doesn't load of you use the full domain name of a site.

That’s a long way beyond exasperation, that’s a massive overreaction.

It's a repeat complaint from the same person who admits bringing it up before. The way they framed their complaint is, again, snide.

> That’s a long way beyond exasperation, that’s a massive overreaction.

Your reaction to Francis is _the_ overreaction. Francis simply said to OP to put their money where their mouth is. The "slander" comment comes later as a general statement on why this subject has become annoying.

Stop being hung up on Francis' response. The niche feature was discussed at length multiple times. You're welcome to search the web for all the conversations we had on the subject. Caddy has been around for 11 years. We've seen this subject more than you've seen it brought up. Again, OP referenced the discussion on the issue tracker in one of the earlier times they brought it up. They _admit_ it's niche. What's the point of continuously bringing it up?
