I figured it out:

The brew formula curl-openssl doesn’t create the ZSH completion file
When using the curl formula, it does get created, but you need to add the path /usr/local/opt/curl/share/zsh/site-functions to the $FPATH: export FPATH="/usr/local/opt/curl/share/zsh/site-functions:$FPATH"

❯ brew info curl                                             
curl: stable 7.72.0 (bottled), HEAD [keg-only]

--HEAD

==> Caveats
curl is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because macOS already provides this software and installing another version in
parallel can cause all kinds of trouble.


zsh completions have been installed to:
  /usr/local/opt/curl/share/zsh/site-functions

The latest curl brew, 8.7.1, does not seem to install zsh completions anymore.

That’s unlikely, which OS?

Should be in /usr/local/opt/curl/share/zsh/site-functions for the Mac (maybe just for homebrew? I don’t use MacOS anymore)

In Ubuntu, it’s located in /usr/share/zsh/vendor-completions/, and 8.7.1 is my version

Could we keep the issue open for now?

So looking at https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/3d7215cc8277b39cd1e24ce5a04376d45bfbabf0/Completion/Unix/Command/_curl

# As of 7.43.0, curl upstream provides its own _curl definition.  This
# definition is provided as a fallback, and should be installed later
# in $fpath than the curl-provided definition of _curl.

Now my limited knowledge may be at play here, wouldn’t omz be responsible to look at the upstream curl completions?

Maybe this is helpful: https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/9a8b3b3e131359aea1cac650fb6ac331fbe2047c/scripts/completion.pl

It looks like the curl distribution in macOS doesn’t add a _curl file, so there may be an issue with the official Zsh project thinking there’ll be a completion bundled alongside the curl binary.
