I've read https://curl.haxx.se/docs/knownbugs.html, https://curl.haxx.se/docs/todo.html, and https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html. Maybe I'm missing something. If so, please excuse me.
I did this
$ echo "--config ~/.curlrc_local" > ~/.curlrc
$ cat ~/.curlrc
--config ~/.curlrc_local
$ echo "--head" > ~/.curlrc_local
$ cat ~/.curlrc_local
--head
$ curl https://example.org

...Curl does not expand ~ before running the command.
I've tried the following content in ~/.curlrc. None of them worked:
--config "~/.curlrc_local"--config '~/.curlrc_local'config = ~/.curlrc_localconfig = "~/.curlrc_local"config = '~/.curlrc_local'
Same if I try to replace ~ by $HOME.
I expected the following
I expected to have HTTP headers.
$ echo "--config ~/.curlrc_local" > ~/.curlrc
$ cat ~/.curlrc
--config ~/.curlrc_local
$ echo "--head" > ~/.curlrc_local
$ cat ~/.curlrc_local
--head

When running the previous commands, I was expecting Curl to expand ~ into my home directory (here /home/morgan) to parse my custom configuration.
It does work well if:
- I write directly in
~/.curlrc before, obviously:
echo "--head" > ~/.curlrc
- I "expand" manually:
echo "--config /home/morgan/.curlrc_local" > ~/.curlrc
echo "--head" > ~/.curlrc_local
