I am not sure I I understand you correctly. Should it work on Fedora?

The description on this page at least lists the dict protocol

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/curl/

Only the minimal build disables the dict protocol, maybe you have installed the curl-minimal package?

Ah, it appears that curl-minimal became the default curl for Fedora recently. curl-full has to be installed for full functionality. I initially ignored it because I assumed the default was curl-full.

Curl devs are predictably not too happy about this change.
