Sissejuhatus

cURL on vaba tarkvara projekt, mille põhieesmärgiks on toota multi-platvormilist tarkvara mis võimaldab andmete ülekannet üle mitmete võrgu protokollide. cURL lasti esmakordselt välja aastal 1997 ning selle alla kuulub library, mille nimeks on libcurl ning käsurea tööriist nimega cURL.

Üldandmed

Nagu ülalpool mainitud, lasti cURL esmakordselt välja aastal 1997. Projekti autoriks oli Daniel Stenberg. Siinkohal oleks tark mainida, et läbi aastate on projekti sisse panustanud suur hulk inimesi. cURL'i programmeerimiskeeleks on C. Viimane, stabiilne, curl versioon, versioon 7.23.1, lasti välja 2011. aasta 17. Novembril.

libcurl

A free client-side URL transfer library, supporting FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, Telnet, DICT, the file URI scheme, LDAP, LDAPS, IMAP, POP3, SMTP and RTSP. The library supports HTTPS certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, Kerberos, HTTP form based upload, proxies, cookies, user-plus-password authentication, file transfer resume, and HTTP proxy tunneling. The libcurl library is portable. It builds and works identically on several platforms, including Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Darwin, HPUX, IRIX, AIX, Tru64, Linux, UnixWare, HURD, Windows, Symbian, Amiga, OS/2, BeOS, Mac OS X, Ultrix, QNX, OpenVMS, RISC OS, Novell NetWare, DOS and more. The libcurl library is free, thread-safe, IPv6 compatible, and fast. Bindings in more than 40 languages are available for libcurl.

cURL

A command line tool for getting or sending files using URL syntax. Since cURL uses libcurl, it supports a range of common Internet protocols, currently including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, LDAP, LDAPS, DICT, TELNET, FILE . IMAP, POP3, SMTP and RTSP (the last four-only in versions newer than 7.20.0 or 9 February 2010). The name of the project is a play on 'Client for URLs', originally with URL spelled in uppercase to make it obvious that it deals with URLs. The fact it can also be pronounced 'see URL' also helped; it works as an abbreviation for "Client URL Request Library" or the recursive version: "Curl URL Request Library". Daniel Stenberg started writing cURL in 1997, as a way to transfer files via protocols such as http, ftp, gopher, and many more, via a command-line interface. Several other people made important and crucial contributions to the project. Distributed under the MIT License, cURL is free software.

Paigaldamine

Ubuntu kasutajad, kes kasutavad Ubuntu Desktop'i versiooni saavad selle paigaldada enda arvutile kasutades nii Ubuntu Software Center'it kui ka teha seda käsurealt. Ubuntu Server op. süsteemi kasutavad isikud saavad seda teha seda käsurealt. Käsureale tuleb sisestada järgnev käsk.

 sudo apt-get install curl

Olles root'i õigustes, tuleb lihtsalt sisestada käsk.

 apt-get install curl
