Summary0007147: curl 7.74 introduced a bug which would show time in microseconds instead of seconds.
Description

via https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2021/02/03/curl-7-75-0-is-smaller/

Many users found out that when asking the curl tool to output timing information with -w, I accidentally made it show microseconds instead of seconds in 7.74.0! This is fixed and we’re back to the way it always was now…

Steps To Reproduce

curl 7.74
$ curl -w "Connect: %{time_connect} TTFB: %{time_starttransfer} Total time: %{time_total} \n" -s http://bugs.kali.org -o /dev/null
Connect: 13962 TTFB: 258992 Total time: 259075

curl other than 7.74
$ curl -w "Connect: %{time_connect} TTFB: %{time_starttransfer} Total time: %{time_total} \n" -s http://bugs.kali.org -o /dev/null
Connect: 0.130549 TTFB: 0.348584 Total time: 0.348697
