NAME
curl - transfer a URL
SYNOPSIS
curl [options] [URL...]
DESCRIPTION
curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the
supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, DICT,
TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The command is designed to work without user
interaction.

but more importantly, almost any *nix utility can be kept in your HOME structure, so you don't need to have permission to install code in the system. Other users might not be able to use that code, but that doesn't sound like the primary goal here. This all means that, provided you had the knowledge, you could keep your own copy of wget and other utilities in a directory under your HOME, and use them as you wish. For example, I have almost 50 such items in a directory I call executable. Perhaps a friend can help you with such a task. That way you are not limited by what the system administrators install or omit.
I should add that this can require a fair amount of work on your part, but the results provide a certain amount of independence.
Finally, alternatives to wget and curl might be a simple script in perl / python / tcl, etc., that can copy from a URL to a local file.
This is probably a dumb question and a pipe dream, but is there (or can there be) an alternate way to logon?
I can access the site from work, but they have blocked the actual login URL. I dont know exactly what the URL is since I can obviously log on from home, but I know it has the word login.... (2 Replies)

Hello,
We have boxes on a WAN network I guess you would call it, pretty much they are hooked up via DSL in different locations in the US and we connect to them via SSH for a secure connection. Some of the boxes won't return a ping request like they are down, I am guessing is because the router... (5 Replies)

Instead of using an external Certification Authority CA such as Verisgn, in windows I have been told there is something called self ssl ( The server is its own Certification Authority)
In Solaris is there such an alternate?
In need it for apache.
Much appreciate for any guidence.

Hi,
I have these two files .

/home/prog/bug/gen
i want a output file which should contain
file1-file2 (2 Replies)
is there any single command for
cat file1 > file2
cp /dev/null file1
The original file must retain intact but it should get empty. Actually, the contents needs to be processed by another process and for new entries, the file must remain there with zero records. (4 Replies)

curl-config(1) curl-config manual curl-config(1)NAME
curl-config - Get information about a libcurl installation
SYNOPSIS
curl-config [options]
DESCRIPTION
curl-config displays information about the curl and libcurl installation.
OPTIONS --ca Displays the built-in path to the CA cert bundle this libcurl uses.
--cc Displays the compiler used to build libcurl.
--cflags
Set of compiler options (CFLAGS) to use when compiling files that use libcurl. Currently that is only the include path to the curl
include files.
--checkfor [version]
Specify the oldest possible libcurl version string you want, and this script will return 0 if the current installation is new enough
or it returns 1 and outputs a text saying that the current version is not new enough. (Added in 7.15.4)
--configure
Displays the arguments given to configure when building curl.
--feature
Lists what particular main features the installed libcurl was built with. At the time of writing, this list may include SSL, KRB4 or
IPv6. Do not assume any particular order. The keywords will be separated by newlines. There may be none, one, or several keywords in
the list.
--help Displays the available options.
--libs Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order to link your application with libcurl.
--prefix
This is the prefix used when libcurl was installed. Libcurl is then installed in $prefix/lib and its header files are installed in
$prefix/include and so on. The prefix is set with "configure --prefix".
--protocols
Lists what particular protocols the installed libcurl was built to support. At the time of writing, this list may include HTTP,
HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, FILE, TELNET, LDAP, DICT. Do not assume any particular order. The protocols will be listed using uppercase and are
separated by newlines. There may be none, one, or several protocols in the list. (Added in 7.13.0)
--static-libs
Shows the complete set of libs and other linker options you will need in order to link your application with libcurl statically.
(Added in 7.17.1)
--version
Outputs version information about the installed libcurl.
--vernum
Outputs version information about the installed libcurl, in numerical mode. This outputs the version number, in hexadecimal, with 8
bits for each part; major, minor, patch. So that libcurl 7.7.4 would appear as 070704 and libcurl 12.13.14 would appear as 0c0d0e...
Note that the initial zero might be omitted. (This option was broken in the 7.15.0 release.)
EXAMPLES
What linker options do I need when I link with libcurl?
$ curl-config --libs
What compiler options do I need when I compile using libcurl functions?
$ curl-config --cflags
How do I know if libcurl was built with SSL support?
$ curl-config --feature | grep SSL
What's the installed libcurl version?
$ curl-config --version
How do I build a single file with a one-line command?
$ `curl-config --cc --cflags` -o example example.c `curl-config --libs`
