" curl - get a URL with FTP, TELNET, LDAP, GOPHER, DICT,\n"
" FILE, HTTP or HTTPS syntax.\n"
" curl is a client to get documents/files from servers,\n"
" using any of the supported protocols. The command is\n"
" designed to work without user interaction or any kind of\n"
" interactivity.\n"
" curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support,\n"
" user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, SSL (https:)\n"
" connections, cookies, file transfer resume and more.\n"
" The URL syntax is protocol dependent. You'll find a\n"
" detailed description in RFC 2396.\n"
" You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing\n"
" part sets within braces as in:\n"
" or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using\n"
" [] as in:\n"
" ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt\n"
" ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with lead-\n"
" ing zeros)\n"
" ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt\n"
" It is possible to specify up to 9 sets or series for a\n"
" URL, but no nesting is supported at the moment:\n"

" -a/--append\n"
" (FTP) When used in a ftp upload, this will tell\n"
" curl to append to the target file instead of over-\n"
" writing it. If the file doesn't exist, it will be\n"
" created.\n"
"\n"
" -A/--user-agent <agent string>\n"
" (HTTP) Specify the User-Agent string to send to the\n"
" HTTP server. Some badly done CGIs fail if its not\n"
" set to \"Mozilla/4.0\". To encode blanks in the\n"
" string, surround the string with single quote\n"
" marks. This can also be set with the -H/--header\n"
" flag of course.\n"
" -b/--cookie <name=data>\n"
" (HTTP) Pass the data to the HTTP server as a\n"
" cookie. It is supposedly the data previously\n"
" received from the server in a \"Set-Cookie:\" line.\n"
" The data should be in the format \"NAME1=VALUE1;\n"
" NAME2=VALUE2\".\n"
"\n"
" If no '=' letter is used in the line, it is treated\n"
" as a filename to use to read previously stored\n"
" cookie lines from, which should be used in this\n"
" session if they match. Using this method also acti-\n"
" vates the \"cookie parser\" which will make curl\n"
" record incoming cookies too, which may be handy if\n"
" you're using this in combination with the\n"
" -L/--location option. The file format of the file\n"
" to read cookies from should be plain HTTP headers\n"
" or the netscape cookie file format.\n"
"\n"
" NOTE that the file specified with -b/--cookie is\n"
" only used as input. No cookies will be stored in\n"
" the file. To store cookies, save the HTTP headers\n"
" to a file using -D/--dump-header!\n"
"\n"
" -B/--ftp-ascii\n"
" (FTP/LDAP) Use ASCII transfer when getting an FTP\n"
" file or LDAP info. For FTP, this can also be\n"
" enforced by using an URL that ends with \";type=A\".\n"
"\n"
" -c/--continue\n"
" Continue/Resume a previous file transfer. This\n"
" instructs curl to continue appending data on the\n"
" file where it was previously left, possibly because\n"
" of a broken connection to the server. There must be\n"
" a named physical file to append to for this to\n"
" work. Note: Upload resume is depening on a command\n"
" named SIZE not always present in all ftp servers!\n"
" Upload resume is for FTP only. HTTP resume is only\n"
" possible with HTTP/1.1 or later servers.\n"
"\n"
" -C/--continue-at <offset>\n"
" Continue/Resume a previous file transfer at the\n"
" given offset. The given offset is the exact number\n"
" of bytes that will be skipped counted from the\n"
" beginning of the source file before it is trans-\n"
" fered to the destination. If used with uploads,\n"
" the ftp server command SIZE will not be used by\n"
" curl. Upload resume is for FTP only. HTTP resume\n"
" is only possible with HTTP/1.1 or later servers.\n"
"\n"
" -d/--data <data>\n"
" (HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request\n"
" to the HTTP server. Note that the data is sent\n"
" exactly as specified with no extra processing. The\n"
" data is expected to be \"url-encoded\". This will\n"
" cause curl to pass the data to the server using the\n"
" content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded.\n"
" Compare to -F.\n"
"\n"
" If you start the data with the letter @, the rest\n"
" should be a file name to read the data from, or -\n"
" if you want curl to read the data from stdin. The\n"
" contents of the file must already be url-encoded.\n"
"\n"
" -D/--dump-header <file>\n"
" (HTTP/FTP) Write the HTTP headers to this file.\n"
" Write the FTP file info to this file if -I/--head\n"
" is used.\n"
"\n"
" This option is handy to use when you want to store\n"
" the cookies that a HTTP site sends to you. The\n"
" cookies could then be read in a second curl invoke\n"
" by using the -b/--cookie option!\n"
"\n"
" -e/--referer <URL>\n"
" (HTTP) Sends the \"Referer Page\" information to the\n"
" HTTP server. Some badly done CGIs fail if it's not\n"
" set. This can also be set with the -H/--header flag\n"
" of course.\n"
"\n"
" -E/--cert <certificate[:password]>\n"
" (HTTPS) Tells curl to use the specified certificate\n"
" file when getting a file with HTTPS. The certifi-\n"
" cate must be in PEM format. If the optional pass-\n"
" word isn't specified, it will be queried for on the\n"
" terminal. Note that this certificate is the private\n"
" key and the private certificate concatenated!\n"
"\n"
" -f/--fail\n"
" (HTTP) Fail silently (no output at all) on server\n"
" errors. This is mostly done like this to better\n"
" enable scripts etc to better deal with failed\n"
" attempts. In normal cases when a HTTP server fails\n"
" to deliver a document, it returns a HTML document\n"
" stating so (which often also describes why and\n"
" more). This flag will prevent curl from outputting\n"
" that and fail silently instead.\n"
"\n"
" -F/--form <name=content>\n"
" (HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled in form in\n"
" which a user has pressed the submit button. This\n"
" causes curl to POST data using the content-type\n"
" multipart/form-data according to RFC1867. This\n"
" enables uploading of binary files etc. To force the\n"
" 'content' part to be read from a file, prefix the\n"
" file name with an @ sign. Example, to send your\n"
" password file to the server, where 'password' is\n"
" the name of the form-field to which /etc/passwd\n"
" will be the input:\n"
" curl -F password=@/etc/passwd www.mypasswords.com\n"
"\n"
" To read the file's content from stdin insted of a\n"
" file, use - where the file name should've been.\n"
"\n"
" -h/--help\n"
" Usage help.\n"
"\n"
" -H/--header <header>\n"
" (HTTP) Extra header to use when getting a web page.\n"
" You may specify any number of extra headers. Note\n"
" that if you should add a custom header that has the\n"
" same name as one of the internal ones curl would\n"
" use, your externally set header will be used\n"
" instead of the internal one. This allows you to\n"
" make even trickier stuff than curl would normally\n"
" do. You should not replace internally set headers\n"
" without knowing perfectly well what you're doing.\n"
"\n"
" -i/--include\n"
" (HTTP) Include the HTTP-header in the output. The\n"
" HTTP-header includes things like server-name, date\n"
" of the document, HTTP-version and more...\n"
"\n"
" -I/--head\n"
" (HTTP/FTP) Fetch the HTTP-header only! HTTP-servers\n"
" feature the command HEAD which this uses to get\n"
" nothing but the header of a document. When used on\n"
" a FTP file, curl displays the file size only.\n"
"\n"
" -K/--config <config file>\n"
" Specify which config file to read curl arguments\n"
" from. The config file is a text file in which com-\n"
" mand line arguments can be written which then will\n"
" be used as if they were written on the actual com-\n"
" mand line. If the first column of a config line is\n"
" a '#' character, the rest of the line will be\n"
" treated as a comment.\n"
"\n"
" Specify the filename as '-' to make curl read the\n"
" file from stdin.\n"
"\n"
" -l/--list-only\n"
" (FTP) When listing an FTP directory, this switch\n"
" forces a name-only view. Especially useful if you\n"
" want to machine-parse the contents of an FTP direc-\n"
" tory since the normal directory view doesn't use a\n"
" standard look or format.\n"
"\n"
" -L/--location\n"
" (HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the\n"
" requested page has a different location (indicated\n"
" with the header line Location:) this flag will let\n"
" curl attempt to reattempt the get on the new place.\n"
" If used together with -i or -I, headers from all\n"
" requested pages will be shown.\n"
"\n"
" -m/--max-time <seconds>\n"
" Maximum time in seconds that you allow the whole\n"
" operation to take. This is useful for preventing\n"
" your batch jobs from hanging for hours due to slow\n"
" networks or links going down. This doesn't work\n"
" properly in win32 systems.\n"
"\n"
" -M/--manual\n"
" Manual. Display the huge help text.\n"
"\n"
" -n/--netrc\n"
" Makes curl scan the .netrc file in the user's home\n"
" directory for login name and password. This is typ-\n"
" ically used for ftp on unix. If used with http,\n"
" curl will enable user authentication. See netrc(5)\n"
" for details on the file format. Curl will not com-\n"
" plain if that file hasn't the right permissions (it\n"
" should not be world nor group readable). The envi-\n"
" ronment variable \"HOME\" is used to find the home\n"
" directory.\n"
"\n"
" A quick and very simple example of how to setup a\n"
" .netrc to allow curl to ftp to the machine\n"
" host.domain.com with user name\n"
"\n"
" machine host.domain.com user myself password secret\n"
"\n"
" -N/--no-buffer\n"
" Disables the buffering of the output stream. In\n"
" normal work situations, curl will use a standard\n"
" buffered output stream that will have the effect\n"
" that it will output the data in chunks, not neces-\n"
" sarily exactly when the data arrives. Using this\n"
" option will disable that buffering.\n"
"\n"
" -o/--output <file>\n"
" Write output to <file> instead of stdout. If you\n"
" are using {} or [] to fetch multiple documents, you\n"
" can use '#' followed by a number in the <file>\n"
" specifier. That variable will be replaced with the\n"
" current string for the URL being fetched. Like in:\n"
"\n"
" curl http://{one,two}.site.com -o \"file_#1.txt\"\n"
"\n"
" or use several variables like:\n"
"\n"
" curl http://{site,host}.host[1-5].com -o \"#1_#2\"\n"
"\n"
" -O/--remote-name\n"
" Write output to a local file named like the remote\n"
" file we get. (Only the file part of the remote file\n"
" is used, the path is cut off.)\n"
"\n"
" -P/--ftpport <address>\n"
" (FTP) Reverses the initiator/listener roles when\n"
" connecting with ftp. This switch makes Curl use the\n"
" PORT command instead of PASV. In practice, PORT\n"
" tells the server to connect to the client's speci-\n"
" fied address and port, while PASV asks the server\n"
" for an ip address and port to connect to. <address>\n"
" should be one of:\n"
"\n"
" interface i.e \"eth0\" to specify which interface's\n"
" IP address you want to use (Unix only)\n"
"\n"
" IP address i.e \"192.168.10.1\" to specify exact IP\n"
" number\n"
"\n"
" host name i.e \"my.host.domain\" to specify machine\n"
"\n"
" - (any single-letter string) to make it\n"
" pick the machine's default\n"
"\n"
" -q If used as the first parameter on the command line,\n"
" the $HOME/.curlrc file will not be read and used as\n"
" a config file.\n"
"\n"
" -Q/--quote <comand>\n"
" (FTP) Send an arbitrary command to the remote FTP\n"
" server, by using the QUOTE command of the server.\n"
" Not all servers support this command, and the set\n"
" of QUOTE commands are server specific! Quote com-\n"
" mands are sent BEFORE the transfer is taking place.\n"
" To make commands take place after a successful\n"
" transfer, prefix them with a dash '-'. You may\n"
" specify any amount of commands to be run before and\n"
" after the transfer. If the server returns failure\n"
" for one of the commands, the entire operation will\n"
" be aborted.\n"
"\n"
" -r/--range <range>\n"
" (HTTP/FTP) Retrieve a byte range (i.e a partial\n"
" document) from a HTTP/1.1 or FTP server. Ranges can\n"
" be specified in a number of ways.\n"
"\n"
" 0-499 specifies the first 500 bytes\n"
"\n"
" 500-999 specifies the second 500 bytes\n"
"\n"
" -500 specifies the last 500 bytes\n"
"\n"
" 9500 specifies the bytes from offset 9500 and\n"
" forward\n"
"\n"
" 0-0,-1 specifies the first and last byte\n"
" only(*)(H)\n"
"\n"
" 500-700,600-799\n"
" specifies 300 bytes from offset 500(H)\n"
"\n"
" 100-199,500-599\n"
" specifies two separate 100 bytes\n"
" ranges(*)(H)\n"
"\n"
" (*) = NOTE that this will cause the server to reply with a\n"
" multipart response!\n"
"\n"
" You should also be aware that many HTTP/1.1 servers do not\n"
" have this feature enabled, so that when you attempt to get\n"
" a range, you'll instead get the whole document.\n"
"\n"
" FTP range downloads only support the simple syntax 'start-\n"
" stop' (optionally with one of the numbers omitted). It\n"
" depends on the non-RFC command SIZE.\n"
"\n"
" -s/--silent\n"
" Silent mode. Don't show progress meter or error\n"
" messages. Makes Curl mute.\n"
"\n"
" -S/--show-error\n"
" When used with -s it makes curl show error message\n"
" if it fails.\n"
"\n"
" -t/--upload\n"
" Transfer the stdin data to the specified file. Curl\n"
" will read everything from stdin until EOF and store\n"
" with the supplied name. If this is used on a\n"
" http(s) server, the PUT command will be used.\n"
"\n"
" -T/--upload-file <file>\n"
" Like -t, but this transfers the specified local\n"
" file. If there is no file part in the specified\n"
" URL, Curl will append the local file name. NOTE\n"
" that you must use a trailing / on the last direc-\n"
" tory to really prove to Curl that there is no file\n"
" name or curl will think that your last directory\n"
" name is the remote file name to use. That will most\n"
" likely cause the upload operation to fail. If this\n"
" is used on a http(s) server, the PUT command will\n"
" be used.\n"
"\n"
" -u/--user <user:password>\n"
" Specify user and password to use when fetching. See\n"
" README.curl for detailed examples of how to use\n"
" this. If no password is specified, curl will ask\n"
" for it interactively.\n"
"\n"
" -U/--proxy-user <user:password>\n"
" Specify user and password to use for Proxy\n"
" authentication. If no password is specified, curl\n"
" will ask for it interactively.\n"
"\n"
" -v/--verbose\n"
" Makes the fetching more verbose/talkative. Mostly\n"
" usable for debugging. Lines starting with '>' means\n"
" data sent by curl, '<' means data received by curl\n"
" that is hidden in normal cases and lines starting\n"

" Get a web page and store in a local file, make the local file get the name\n"
" of the remote document (if no file name part is specified in the URL, this\n"
" will fail):\n"
"\n"
" curl -O http://www.netscape.com/index.html\n"
"\n"
"USING PASSWORDS\n"
"\n"
" FTP\n"
"\n"
" To ftp files using name+passwd, include them in the URL like:\n"
"\n"
" curl ftp://name:passwd@machine.domain:port/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
" or specify them with the -u flag like\n"
"\n"
" curl -u name:passwd ftp://machine.domain:port/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
" HTTP\n"
"\n"
" The HTTP URL doesn't support user and password in the URL string. Curl\n"
" does support that anyway to provide a ftp-style interface and thus you can\n"
" pick a file like:\n"
"\n"
" curl http://name:passwd@machine.domain/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
" or specify user and password separately like in\n"
"\n"
" curl -u name:passwd http://machine.domain/full/path/to/file\n"
"\n"
" NOTE! Since HTTP URLs don't support user and password, you can't use that\n"
" style when using Curl via a proxy. You _must_ use the -u style fetch\n"
" during such circumstances.\n"
"\n"
" HTTPS\n"
"\n"
" Probably most commonly used with private certificates, as explained below.\n"
"\n"
" GOPHER\n"
"\n"
" Curl features no password support for gopher.\n"
"\n"
"PROXY\n"
"\n"
" Get an ftp file using a proxy named my-proxy that uses port 888:\n"
"\n"
" curl -x my-proxy:888 ftp://ftp.leachsite.com/README\n"
"\n"
" Get a file from a HTTP server that requires user and password, using the\n"
" same proxy as above:\n"
"\n"
" curl -u user:passwd -x my-proxy:888 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" Some proxies require special authentication. Specify by using -U as above:\n"
"\n"
" curl -U user:passwd -x my-proxy:888 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" See also the environment variables Curl support that offer further proxy\n"
" control.\n"
"\n"
"RANGES\n"
"\n"
" With HTTP 1.1 byte-ranges were introduced. Using this, a client can request\n"
" to get only one or more subparts of a specified document. Curl supports\n"
" this with the -r flag.\n"
"\n"
" Get the first 100 bytes of a document:\n"
"\n"
" curl -r 0-99 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" Get the last 500 bytes of a document:\n"
"\n"
" curl -r -500 http://www.get.this/\n"
"\n"
" Curl also supports simple ranges for FTP files as well. Then you can only\n"
" specify start and stop position.\n"
"\n"
" Get the first 100 bytes of a document using FTP:\n"
"\n"
" curl -r 0-99 ftp://www.get.this/README \n"
"\n"
"UPLOADING\n"
"\n"
" FTP\n"
"\n"
" Upload all data on stdin to a specified ftp site:\n"
"\n"
" curl -t ftp://ftp.upload.com/myfile\n"
"\n"
" Upload data from a specified file, login with user and password:\n"
"\n"
" curl -T uploadfile -u user:passwd ftp://ftp.upload.com/myfile\n"
"\n"
" Upload a local file to the remote site, and use the local file name remote\n"
" too:\n"
" \n"
" curl -T uploadfile -u user:passwd ftp://ftp.upload.com/\n"
"\n"
" Upload a local file to get appended to the remote file using ftp:\n"
"\n"
" curl -T localfile -a ftp://ftp.upload.com/remotefile\n"
"\n"
" NOTE: Curl does not support ftp upload through a proxy! The reason for this\n"
" is simply that proxies are seldomly configured to allow this and that no\n"
" author has supplied code that makes it possible!\n"
" Upload all data on stdin to a specified http site:\n"
"\n"
" curl -t http://www.upload.com/myfile\n"
"\n"
" Note that the http server must've been configured to accept PUT before this\n"
" can be done successfully.\n"

"VERBOSE / DEBUG\n"
"\n"
" If curl fails where it isn't supposed to, if the servers don't let you\n"
" in, if you can't understand the responses: use the -v flag to get VERBOSE\n"
" fetching. Curl will output lots of info and all data it sends and\n"
" receives in order to let the user see all client-server interaction.\n"
"\n"
" curl -v ftp://ftp.upload.com/\n"
"\n"
"DETAILED INFORMATION\n"
"\n"
" Different protocols provide different ways of getting detailed information\n"
" about specific files/documents. To get curl to show detailed information\n"
" about a single file, you should use -I/--head option. It displays all\n"
" available info on a single file for HTTP and FTP. The HTTP information is a\n"
" lot more extensive.\n"
"\n"
" For HTTP, you can get the header information (the same as -I would show)\n"
" shown before the data by using -i/--include. Curl understands the\n"
" -D/--dump-header option when getting files from both FTP and HTTP, and it\n"
" will then store the headers in the specified file.\n"
"\n"
" Store the HTTP headers in a separate file:\n"
"\n"
" curl --dump-header headers.txt curl.haxx.nu\n"
"\n"
" Note that headers stored in a separate file can be very useful at a later\n"
" time if you want curl to use cookies sent by the server. More about that in\n"
" the cookies section.\n"
"\n"
"POST (HTTP)\n"
"\n"
" It's easy to post data using curl. This is done using the -d <data>\n"
" option. The post data must be urlencoded.\n"
"\n"
" Post a simple \"name\" and \"phone\" guestbook.\n"
"\n"
" curl -d \"name=Rafael%20Sagula&phone=3320780\" \\\n"
" http://www.where.com/guest.cgi\n"
"\n"
" While -d uses the application/x-www-form-urlencoded mime-type, generally\n"
" understood by CGI's and similar, curl also supports the more capable\n"
" multipart/form-data type. This latter type supports things like file upload.\n"
"\n"
" -F accepts parameters like -F \"name=contents\". If you want the contents to\n"
" be read from a file, use <@filename> as contents. When specifying a file,\n"
" you can also specify which content type the file is, by appending\n"
" ';type=<mime type>' to the file name. You can also post contents of several\n"
" files in one field. So that the field name 'coolfiles' can be sent three\n"
" files with different content types in a manner similar to:\n"
"\n"
" curl -F \"coolfiles=@fil1.gif;type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html\" \\\n"
" http://www.post.com/postit.cgi\n"

" If content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the extension\n"

" Emulate a fill-in form with -F. Let's say you fill in three fields in a\n"
" form. One field is a file name which to post, one field is your name and one\n"
" field is a file description. We want to post the file we have written named\n"
" \"cooltext.txt\". To let curl do the posting of this data instead of your\n"
" favourite browser, you have to check out the HTML of the form page to get to\n"
" know the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are\n"
" 'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.\n"

" So, to send two files in one post you can do it in two ways:\n"
"\n"
" 1. Send multiple files in a single \"field\" with a single field name:\n"
" \n"
" curl -F \"pictures=@dog.gif,cat.gif\" \n"

" curl -F \"docpicture=@dog.gif\" -F \"catpicture=@cat.gif\" \n"

"REFERER\n"
"\n"
" A HTTP request has the option to include information about which address\n"
" that referred to actual page, and curl allows the user to specify that\n"
" referrer to get specified on the command line. It is especially useful to\n"
" fool or trick stupid servers or CGI scripts that rely on that information\n"
" being available or contain certain data.\n"
"\n"
" curl -e www.coolsite.com http://www.showme.com/\n"
"\n"
"USER AGENT\n"
"\n"
" A HTTP request has the option to include information about the browser\n"
" that generated the request. Curl allows it to be specified on the command\n"
" line. It is especially useful to fool or trick stupid servers or CGI\n"
" scripts that only accept certain browsers.\n"
