cURL is removing support for the RTMP protocol due to its proprietary nature, lack of testing, and security concerns. The protocol, originally used with Adobe Flash, has seen declining relevance as HTTP(S) became dominant. The decision highlights the project's focus on maintaining robust, well-tested features.
Background
RTMP is a proprietary protocol developed by Adobe for streaming media, primarily used with Flash applications. It has become less relevant as HTTP(S) has become the dominant protocol for web transfers.
