@jjimenezshaw PRAL (PRojection Abstraction Library), or even CTAL (Coordinate Transformation Abstraction Libary) ?
There's also CGAL, but they are cheating with mis-employing AL.
@bagder I've reported the issue to the person in charge. They'll fix it ASAP (likely due to a slight change in the curl license text, that makes it hash to no longer be in the allow list)
@bagder There might be a very slight connection though. QGIS (https://qgis.org) uses GDAL (https://gdal.org) which is an heavy & happy cURL user ! We implement cloud storage access through cURL: https://gdal.org/en/stable/user/virtual_file_systems.html#network-based-file-systems
Seeing also in https://sourceforge.net/p/saga-gis/wiki/Compiling%20SAGA%20on%20Linux/ that SAGA uses curl. Everyone uses cURL but you already knew it ;-)

@neteler @mundialis @jjimenezshaw Der Titel des zweiten Bildes lautet „Transversale Mercator ist dein Freund“, richtig?
@sgillies Does that involve wormholes, black matter or tachyons ?
There's hardly any greater satisfaction in life than being able to do a binary identical round-trip of ISO-8211 encoded file -> XML -> ISO-8211 including fields whose data struct code is concatenated
