Hi,

Not sure it is relevant with latest curl version: would it make sense to pass the sensitive arguments inside a volatile file instead of command line arguments to avoid leaking them on a multi user machine.

  • using the same credential file/config/auth and keep the other arguments visible
  • pass eveything inside a file mkemp generated file which his deleted after use

ref: https://everything.curl.dev/cmdline/passwords and https://everything.curl.dev/cmdline/configfile

Cheers

Tru
