@gvollant: zstd has apparently been fixed after those fallouts. I've experimentally restored support just recently in e806006. It's now enabled in the alternate build called "big". It adds 150 KB (which is lower than in some pre-1.5.0 versions).

Every dependency is an extra weight/attention/time to carry, so is zstd support "common enough" on the server side to justify it? (I mean outside facebook properties)

(Moving brotli support to the "big" builds is also on the map, as I feel it doesn't contribute much in practice.)

I confirm that v1.5.1 was a short-lived version that featured a subtle build issue related to the presence of a single assembly file within the source tree, resulting in weird outcomes depending on the exact platform being used during the build.

v1.5.1 was superseded within a month by v1.5.2, which is current and fixed the issue. No more build issue have been reported since this update.

@vszakats I understand the weight attention, but I think there is a "chicken and egg" problem between server and client for zstd (and brotli) support. So it'll be great if brotli and zstd came back on the standard windows binary distributed on the curl website.

By example, an experimental zstd nginx support was written before curl support zstd.
It probably wait more client support to become more used

I've (re-)enabled zstd in default builds. Hoping this helps a little bit in server-side adoption.
