I count 3 protocols for curl and 26 for wget. So how does curl have more protocols than wget?

Protocols – More protocols are supported by curl than by wget.
Curl-supported protocols are: HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
Wget supported protocols are: HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, FILE, DICT, TFTP, TELNET, SCP, SMPT, SMTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, LDAP, LDAPS, IMAP, IMAPS, RTMP, RTMPS, POP3, POP3S, RTSP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, or MQTT.

Based on the data given, I think you have this statement reversed: “Protocols – More protocols are supported by curl than by wget.” Or else you have the data section reversed.

This makes no sense at all. If curl supports 3 protocols and wget supports 26, how does curl support more than wget? Did you get them the wrong way round?
