That is indeed a solid pushback! :)

For what its worth, this container used `python:3.12.2-slim-bookworm` and I really would not expect that sort of an image to bundle `curl` -- even if it is intended for production.



Ah I see so it was basically a minimal image that bundles just python? I can see why it wouldn't bundle curl! Thought it was a custom Image for some reason, hence my original comment


Yes, a very minimal image indeed. Had it been a custom image, curl would be one of the first things I would make sure it contains :)


You can also use the sockets lib in that case, you depend on POSIX instead of Linux
