+"NAME\n"
+" curl - get a URL with FTP, TELNET, LDAP, GOPHER, DICT, FILE,\n"
+" HTTP or HTTPS syntax.\n"
+"\n"
+"SYNOPSIS\n"
+" curl [options] [URL...]\n"
+"\n"
+"DESCRIPTION\n"
+" curl is a client to get documents/files from or send docu­\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" ments to a server, using any of the supported protocols\n"
+" (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The\n"
+" command is designed to work without user interaction or any\n"
+" kind of interactivity.\n"
+"\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"
+"\n"
+"URL\n"
+" The URL syntax is protocol dependent. You'll find a detailed\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" description in RFC 2396.\n"
+"\n"
+" You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing\n"
+" part sets within braces as in:\n"
+"\n"
+" http://site.{one,two,three}.com\n"
+"\n"
+" or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using []\n"
+" as in:\n"
+"\n"
+" ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt\n"
+" ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with leading\n"
+" zeros)\n"
+" ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt\n"
+"\n"
+" It is possible to specify up to 9 sets or series for a URL,\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" but no nesting is supported at the moment:\n"
+"\n"
+" http://www.any.org/archive[1996-1999]/vol­\n"
+" ume[1-4]part{a,b,c,index}.html\n"
+"\n"
+" You can specify any amount of URLs on the command line. They\n"
+" will be fetched in a sequential manner in the specified\n"
+" order.\n"
+"\n"
+" Curl will attempt to re-use connections for multiple file\n"
+" transfers, so that getting many files from the same server\n"
+" will not do multiple connects / handshakes. This improves\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" speed. Of course this is only done on files specified on a\n"
+" single command line and cannot be used between separate curl\n"
+" invokes.\n"
+"OPTIONS\n"
+" -a/--append\n"
+" (FTP) When used in a ftp upload, this will tell curl to\n"
+" append to the target file instead of overwriting it. If\n"
+" the file doesn't exist, it will be created.\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used twice, the second one will dis­\n"
+" able append mode again.\n"
+"\n"
+" -A/--user-agent <agent string>\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" (HTTP) Specify the User-Agent string to send to the\n"
+" HTTP server. Some badly done CGIs fail if its not set\n"
+" to \"Mozilla/4.0\". To encode blanks in the string, sur­\n"
+" round the string with single quote marks. This can\n"
+" also be set with the -H/--header flag of course.\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is set more than once, the last one will\n"
+" be the one that's used.\n"
+"\n"
+" -b/--cookie <name=data>\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" (HTTP) Pass the data to the HTTP server as a cookie. It\n"
+" is supposedly the data previously received from the\n"
+" server in a \"Set-Cookie:\" line. The data should be in\n"
+" the format \"NAME1=VALUE1; NAME2=VALUE2\".\n"
+"\n"

+" a filename to use to read previously stored cookie\n"
+" lines from, which should be used in this session if\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" they match. Using this method also activates the\n"
+" \"cookie parser\" which will make curl record incoming\n"
+" cookies too, which may be handy if you're using this in\n"
+" combination with the -L/--location option. The file\n"
+" format of the file to read cookies from should be plain\n"
+" HTTP headers or the Netscape/Mozilla cookie file for­\n"
+" mat.\n"
+"\n"
+" NOTE that the file specified with -b/--cookie is only\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" used as input. No cookies will be stored in the file.\n"
+" To store cookies, save the HTTP headers to a file using\n"
+" -D/--dump-header!\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is set more than once, the last one will\n"
+" be the one that's used.\n"
+"\n"
+" -B/--use-ascii\n"
+" Use ASCII transfer when getting an FTP file or LDAP\n"
+" info. For FTP, this can also be enforced by using an\n"
+" URL that ends with \";type=A\". This option causes data\n"
+);

+" sent to stdout to be in text mode for win32 systems.\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used twice, the second one will dis­\n"
+" able ASCII usage.\n"
+" --connect-timeout <seconds>\n"
+" Maximum time in seconds that you allow the connection\n"
+" to the server to take. This only limits the connection\n"
+" phase, once curl has connected this option is of no\n"
+" more use. This option didn't work in win32 systems\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" until 7.7.2. See also the --max-time option.\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used several times, the last one will\n"
+" be used.\n"
+"\n"
+" -c/--continue\n"
+" Deprecated. Use '-C -' instead. Continue/Resume a pre­\n"
+" vious file transfer. This instructs curl to continue\n"
+" appending data on the file where it was previously\n"
+" left, possibly because of a broken connection to the\n"
+" server. There must be a named physical file to append\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" to for this to work. Note: Upload resume is depening\n"
+" on a command named SIZE not always present in all ftp\n"
+" servers! Upload resume is for FTP only. HTTP resume is\n"
+" only possible with HTTP/1.1 or later servers.\n"
+"\n"
+" -C/--continue-at <offset>\n"
+" Continue/Resume a previous file transfer at the given\n"
+" offset. The given offset is the exact number of bytes\n"
+" that will be skipped counted from the beginning of the\n"

+ puts(
+" source file before it is transfered to the destination.\n"
+" If used with uploads, the ftp server command SIZE will\n"

+" servers.\n"

+" -d/--data <data>\n"
+" (HTTP) Sends the specified data in a POST request to\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" the HTTP server, in a way that can emulate as if a user\n"
+" has filled in a HTML form and pressed the submit but­\n"
+" ton. Note that the data is sent exactly as specified\n"
+" with no extra processing (with all newlines cut off).\n"
+" The 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. Compare\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" to -F. If more than one -d/--data option is used on the\n"
+" same command line, the data pieces specified will be\n"
+" merged together with a separating &-letter. Thus, using\n"

+" -e/--referer <URL>\n"
+" (HTTP) Sends the \"Referer Page\" information to the HTTP\n"
+" server. This can also be set with the -H/--header flag\n"
+" of course. When used with -L/--location you can append\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" \";auto\" to the referer URL to make curl automatically\n"

+" option.\n"
+"\n"
+" -E/--cert <certificate[:password]>\n"

+" file when getting a file with HTTPS. The certificate\n"
+" must be in PEM format. If the optional password isn't\n"
+" specified, it will be queried for on the terminal. Note\n"
+" that this certificate is the private key and the pri­\n"

+" -f/--fail\n"
+" (HTTP) Fail silently (no output at all) on server\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" errors. This is mostly done like this to better enable\n"
+" scripts etc to better deal with failed attempts. In\n"
+" normal cases when a HTTP server fails to deliver a doc­\n"
+" ument, it returns a HTML document stating so (which\n"
+" often also describes why and more). This flag will pre­\n"
+" vent curl from outputting that and fail silently\n"
+" instead.\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used twice, the second will again\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" disable silent failure.\n"
+"\n"
+" -F/--form <name=content>\n"
+" (HTTP) This lets curl emulate a filled in form in which\n"
+" a user has pressed the submit button. This causes curl\n"
+" to POST data using the content-type multipart/form-data\n"
+" according to RFC1867. This enables uploading of binary\n"
+" files etc. To force the 'content' part to be be a file,\n"
+" prefix the file name with an @ sign. To just get the\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" content part from a file, prefix the file name with the\n"
+" letter <. The difference between @ and < is then that @\n"
+" makes a file get attached in the post as a file upload,\n"
+" while the < makes a text field and just get the con­\n"
+" tents for that text field from a file.\n"
+" Example, to send your password file to the server,\n"
+" where 'password' is the name of the form-field to which\n"
+" /etc/passwd will be the input:\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" curl -F password=@/etc/passwd www.mypasswords.com\n"
+"\n"
+" To read the file's content from stdin insted of a file,\n"
+" use - where the file name should've been. This goes for\n"
+" both @ and < constructs.\n"
+"\n"
+" This option can be used multiple times.\n"
+"\n"
+" -g/--globoff\n"
+" This option switches off the \"URL globbing parser\".\n"
+" When you set this option, you can specify URLs that\n"
+" contain the letters {}[] without having them being\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" interpreted by curl itself. Note that these letters are\n"
+" not normal legal URL contents but they should be\n"
+" encoded according to the URI standard. (Option added in\n"
+" curl 7.6)\n"
+"\n"
+" -h/--help\n"
+" Usage help.\n"
+"\n"
+" -H/--header <header>\n"
+" (HTTP) Extra header to use when getting a web page. You\n"
+" may specify any number of extra headers. Note that if\n"
+" you should add a custom header that has the same name\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" as one of the internal ones curl would use, your exter­\n"
+" nally set header will be used instead of the internal\n"
+" one. This allows you to make even trickier stuff than\n"
+" curl would normally do. You should not replace inter­\n"
+" nally set headers without knowing perfectly well what\n"
+" you're doing. Replacing an internal header with one\n"
+" without content on the right side of the colon will\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" prevent that header from appearing.\n"
+"\n"
+" This option can be used multiple times.\n"
+"\n"
+" -i/--include\n"
+" (HTTP) Include the HTTP-header in the output. The HTTP-\n"
+" header includes things like server-name, date of the\n"
+" document, HTTP-version and more...\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used twice, the second will again\n"
+" disable header include.\n"
+"\n"
+" --interface <name>\n"
+" Perform an operation using a specified interface. You\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" can enter interface name, IP address or host name. An\n"
+" example could look like:\n"
+" curl --interface eth0:1 http://www.netscape.com/\n"
+"\n"
+" If this option is used several times, the last one will\n"
+" be used.\n"
+"\n"
+" -I/--head\n"
+" (HTTP/FTP) Fetch the HTTP-header only! HTTP-servers\n"
+" feature the command HEAD which this uses to get nothing\n"
+" but the header of a document. When used on a FTP file,\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" curl displays the file size only.\n"

+" If this option is used twice, the second will again\n"
+" disable header only.\n"
+"\n"
+" --krb4 <level>\n"
+" (FTP) Enable kerberos4 authentication and use. The\n"
+" level must be entered and should be one of 'clear',\n"

+" arguments can be written which then will be used as if\n"
+" they were written on the actual command line. Options\n"
+" and their parameters must be specified on the same con­\n"

+" Specify the filename as '-' to make curl read the file\n"
+" from stdin.\n"

+" -l/--list-only\n"
+" (FTP) When listing an FTP directory, this switch forces\n"

+" -L/--location\n"
+" (HTTP/HTTPS) If the server reports that the requested\n"
+" page has a different location (indicated with the\n"
+);

+" header line Location:) this flag will let curl attempt\n"
+" to reattempt the get on the new place. If used together\n"
+" with -i or -I, headers from all requested pages will be\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"
+);
+ puts(
+" http://www.where.com/guest.cgi\n"
+"\n"
+" How to post a form with curl, lesson #1:\n"
+"\n"
+" Dig out all the <input> tags in the form that you want to fill in. (There's\n"
+" a perl program called formfind.pl on the curl site that helps with this).\n"
+"\n"
+" If there's a \"normal\" post, you use -d to post. -d takes a full \"post\n"
+" string\", which is in the format\n"
+"\n"
+" <variable1>=<data1>&<variable2>=<data2>&...\n"
+"\n"
+" The 'variable' names are the names set with \"name=\" in the <input> tags, and\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" the data is the contents you want to fill in for the inputs. The data *must*\n"
+" be properly URL encoded. That means you replace space with + and that you\n"
+" write weird letters with %XX where XX is the hexadecimal representation of\n"
+" the letter's ASCII code.\n"
+"\n"
+" Example:\n"
+"\n"
+" (page located at http://www.formpost.com/getthis/\n"
+"\n"
+" <form action=\"post.cgi\" method=\"post\">\n"
+" <input name=user size=10>\n"
+" <input name=pass type=password size=10>\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" <input name=id type=hidden value=\"blablabla\">\n"
+" <input name=ding value=\"submit\">\n"
+" </form>\n"
+"\n"
+" We want to enter user 'foobar' with password '12345'.\n"
+"\n"
+" To post to this, you enter a curl command line like:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -d \"user=foobar&pass=12345&id=blablabla&dig=submit\" (continues)\n"
+" http://www.formpost.com/getthis/post.cgi\n"
+"\n"
+"\n"
+" While -d uses the application/x-www-form-urlencoded mime-type, generally\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" 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 the file content type by appending ';type=<mime type>'\n"
+" to the file name. You can also post the contents of several files in one field.\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" For example, the field name 'coolfiles' is used to send three files, with\n"
+" different content types using the following syntax:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -F \"coolfiles=@fil1.gif;type=image/gif,fil2.txt,fil3.html\" \\\n"
+" http://www.post.com/postit.cgi\n"
+"\n"
+" If the content-type is not specified, curl will try to guess from the file\n"
+" extension (it only knows a few), or use the previously specified type\n"
+" (from an earlier file if several files are specified in a list) or else it\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" will using the default type 'text/plain'.\n"
+"\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 read the HTML source of the form page and find\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" the names of the input fields. In our example, the input field names are\n"
+" 'file', 'yourname' and 'filedescription'.\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -F \"file=@cooltext.txt\" -F \"yourname=Daniel\" \\\n"
+" -F \"filedescription=Cool text file with cool text inside\" \\\n"
+" http://www.post.com/postit.cgi\n"
+"\n"
+" 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"
+" \n"
+);
+ puts(
+" 2. Send two fields with two field names: \n"
+"\n"
+" curl -F \"docpicture=@dog.gif\" -F \"catpicture=@cat.gif\" \n"
+"\n"
+"REFERRER\n"
+"\n"
+" A HTTP request has the option to include information about which address\n"
+" that referred to actual page. Curl allows you to specify the\n"
+" referrer to be used 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"

+"\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"
+"\n"
+" Example:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -A 'Mozilla/3.0 (Win95; I)' http://www.nationsbank.com/\n"

+"COOKIES\n"
+"\n"
+" Cookies are generally used by web servers to keep state information at the\n"
+" client's side. The server sets cookies by sending a response line in the\n"
+" headers that looks like 'Set-Cookie: <data>' where the data part then\n"
+" typically contains a set of NAME=VALUE pairs (separated by semicolons ';'\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" like \"NAME1=VALUE1; NAME2=VALUE2;\"). The server can also specify for what\n"
+" path the \"cookie\" should be used for (by specifying \"path=value\"), when the\n"
+" cookie should expire (\"expire=DATE\"), for what domain to use it\n"
+" (\"domain=NAME\") and if it should be used on secure connections only\n"
+" (\"secure\").\n"
+"\n"
+" If you've received a page from a server that contains a header like:\n"
+" Set-Cookie: sessionid=boo123; path=\"/foo\";\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" it means the server wants that first pair passed on when we get anything in\n"
+" a path beginning with \"/foo\".\n"
+"\n"
+" Example, get a page that wants my name passed in a cookie:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -b \"name=Daniel\" www.sillypage.com\n"
+"\n"
+" Curl also has the ability to use previously received cookies in following\n"
+" sessions. If you get cookies from a server and store them in a file in a\n"
+" manner similar to:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl --dump-header headers www.example.com\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" ... you can then in a second connect to that (or another) site, use the\n"
+" cookies from the 'headers' file like:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -b headers www.example.com\n"
+"\n"
+" Note that by specifying -b you enable the \"cookie awareness\" and with -L\n"
+" you can make curl follow a location: (which often is used in combination\n"
+" with cookies). So that if a site sends cookies and a location, you can\n"
+" use a non-existing file to trigger the cookie awareness like:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -L -b empty.txt www.example.com\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" The file to read cookies from must be formatted using plain HTTP headers OR\n"
+" as netscape's cookie file. Curl will determine what kind it is based on the\n"
+" file contents. In the above command, curl will parse the header and store\n"
+" the cookies received from www.example.com. curl will send to the server the\n"
+" stored cookies which match the request as it follows the location. The\n"
+" file \"empty.txt\" may be a non-existant file.\n"
+" \n"
+"\n"
+"PROGRESS METER\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(

+" Time Current - time passed since the invoke\n"
+" Time Left - expected time left to completetion\n"
+" Curr.Speed - the average transfer speed the last 5 seconds (the first\n"

+"\n"
+" The -# option will display a totally different progress bar that doesn't\n"
+" need much explanation!\n"
+"\n"
+"SPEED LIMIT\n"
+"\n"
+" Curl allows the user to set the transfer speed conditions that must be met\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" to let the transfer keep going. By using the switch -y and -Y you\n"
+" can make curl abort transfers if the transfer speed is below the specified\n"
+" lowest limit for a specified time.\n"
+"\n"
+" To have curl abort the download if the speed is slower than 3000 bytes per\n"
+" second for 1 minute, run:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -y 3000 -Y 60 www.far-away-site.com\n"

+"CONFIG FILE\n"
+"\n"
+" Curl automatically tries to read the .curlrc file (or _curlrc file on win32\n"
+" systems) from the user's home dir on startup.\n"
+"\n"
+" The config file could be made up with normal command line switches, but you\n"
+" can also specify the long options without the dashes to make it more\n"
+" readable. You can separate the options and the parameter with spaces, or\n"
+" with = or :. Comments can be used within the file. If the first letter on a\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" line is a '#'-letter the rest of the line is treated as a comment.\n"
+"\n"
+" If you want the parameter to contain spaces, you must inclose the entire\n"
+" parameter within double quotes (\"). Within those quotes, you specify a\n"
+" quote as \\\".\n"
+"\n"
+" NOTE: You must specify options and their arguments on the same line.\n"
+"\n"
+" Example, set default time out and proxy in a config file:\n"
+"\n"
+" # We want a 30 minute timeout:\n"
+" -m 1800\n"
+" # ... and we use a proxy for all accesses:\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" proxy = proxy.our.domain.com:8080\n"
+"\n"
+" White spaces ARE significant at the end of lines, but all white spaces\n"
+" leading up to the first characters of each line are ignored.\n"
+"\n"
+" Prevent curl from reading the default file by using -q as the first command\n"
+" line parameter, like:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -q www.thatsite.com\n"
+"\n"
+" Force curl to get and display a local help page in case it is invoked\n"
+" without URL by making a config file similar to:\n"
+"\n"
+" # default url to get\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" url = \"http://help.with.curl.com/curlhelp.html\"\n"
+"\n"
+" You can specify another config file to be read by using the -K/--config\n"
+" flag. If you set config file name to \"-\" it'll read the config from stdin,\n"
+" which can be handy if you want to hide options from being visible in process\n"
+" tables etc:\n"
+"\n"
+" echo \"user = user:passwd\" | curl -K - http://that.secret.site.com\n"
+"\n"
+"EXTRA HEADERS\n"
+"\n"
+" When using curl in your own very special programs, you may end up needing\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" to pass on your own custom headers when getting a web page. You can do\n"
+" this by using the -H flag.\n"
+"\n"
+" Example, send the header \"X-you-and-me: yes\" to the server when getting a\n"
+" page:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -H \"X-you-and-me: yes\" www.love.com\n"
+"\n"
+" This can also be useful in case you want curl to send a different text in a\n"
+" header than it normally does. The -H header you specify then replaces the\n"
+" header curl would normally send. If you replace an internal header with an\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" empty one, you prevent that header from being sent. To prevent the Host:\n"
+" header from being used:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -H \"Host:\" www.server.com\n"
+"\n"
+"FTP and PATH NAMES\n"
+"\n"
+" Do note that when getting files with the ftp:// URL, the given path is\n"
+" relative the directory you enter. To get the file 'README' from your home\n"
+" directory at your ftp site, do:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl ftp://user:passwd@my.site.com/README\n"
+"\n"
+" But if you want the README file from the root directory of that very same\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" site, you need to specify the absolute file name:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl ftp://user:passwd@my.site.com//README\n"
+"\n"
+" (I.e with an extra slash in front of the file name.)\n"
+"\n"
+"FTP and firewalls\n"
+"\n"
+" The FTP protocol requires one of the involved parties to open a second\n"
+" connction as soon as data is about to get transfered. There are two ways to\n"
+" do this.\n"
+"\n"
+" The default way for curl is to issue the PASV command which causes the\n"
+" server to open another port and await another connection performed by the\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" client. This is good if the client is behind a firewall that don't allow\n"
+" incoming connections.\n"
+"\n"
+" curl ftp.download.com\n"
+"\n"
+" If the server for example, is behind a firewall that don't allow connections\n"
+" on other ports than 21 (or if it just doesn't support the PASV command), the\n"
+" other way to do it is to use the PORT command and instruct the server to\n"
+" connect to the client on the given (as parameters to the PORT command) IP\n"
+" number and port.\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" The -P flag to curl supports a few different options. Your machine may have\n"
+" several IP-addresses and/or network interfaces and curl allows you to select\n"
+" which of them to use. Default address can also be used:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -P - ftp.download.com\n"
+"\n"
+" Download with PORT but use the IP address of our 'le0' interface (this does\n"
+" not work on windows):\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -P le0 ftp.download.com\n"
+"\n"
+" Download with PORT but use 192.168.0.10 as our IP address to use:\n"
+"\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" curl -P 192.168.0.10 ftp.download.com\n"
+"\n"
+"NETWORK INTERFACE\n"
+"\n"
+" Get a web page from a server using a specified port for the interface:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl --interface eth0:1 http://www.netscape.com/\n"

+" or\n"
+"\n"
+" curl --interface 192.168.1.10 http://www.netscape.com/\n"

+"HTTPS\n"
+"\n"
+" Secure HTTP requires SSL libraries to be installed and used when curl is\n"
+" built. If that is done, curl is capable of retrieving and posting documents\n"

+"\n"
+" Example:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl https://www.secure-site.com\n"

+" from sites that require valid certificates. The only drawback is that the\n"
+" certificate needs to be in PEM-format. PEM is a standard and open format to\n"
+" store certificates with, but it is not used by the most commonly used\n"
+" browsers (Netscape and MSEI both use the so called PKCS#12 format). If you\n"
+" want curl to use the certificates you use with your (favourite) browser, you\n"

+" formatted certificates to PEM formatted ones. This kind of converter is\n"
+" included in recent versions of OpenSSL, and for older versions Dr Stephen\n"
+" N. Henson has written a patch for SSLeay that adds this functionality. You\n"
+" can get his patch (that requires an SSLeay installation) from his site at:\n"
+" http://www.drh-consultancy.demon.co.uk/\n"

+" If you neglect to specify the password on the command line, you will be\n"
+" prompted for the correct password before any data can be received.\n"

+" of OpenSSL etc is using, therefore it is sometimes useful to specify what\n"

+" to use:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl -2 https://secure.site.com/\n"

+" To use OpenSSL to convert your favourite browser's certificate into a PEM\n"
+" formatted one that curl can use, do something like this (assuming netscape,\n"

+"\n"
+" curl -c -o file http://www.server.com/\n"

+" requests. It is If-Modified-Since or If-Unmodified-Since. Curl allow you to\n"
+" specify them with the -z/--time-cond flag.\n"

+" Curl supports .netrc files if told so (using the -n/--netrc option). This is\n"
+" not restricted to only ftp, but curl can use it for all protocols where\n"
+" authentication is used.\n"

+" To better allow script programmers to get to know about the progress of\n"
+" curl, the -w/--write-out option was introduced. Using this, you can specify\n"
+" what information from the previous transfer you want to extract.\n"

+"KERBEROS4 FTP TRANSFER\n"
+"\n"
+" Curl supports kerberos4 for FTP transfers. You need the kerberos package\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" installed and used at curl build time for it to be used.\n"
+"\n"
+" First, get the krb-ticket the normal way, like with the kauth tool. Then use\n"
+" curl in way similar to:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl --krb4 private ftp://krb4site.com -u username:fakepwd\n"
+"\n"
+" There's no use for a password on the -u switch, but a blank one will make\n"
+" curl ask for one and you already entered the real password to kauth.\n"
+"\n"
+"TELNET\n"
+"\n"
+" The curl telnet support is basic and very easy to use. Curl passes all data\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" passed to it on stdin to the remote server. Connect to a remote telnet\n"
+" server using a command line similar to:\n"
+"\n"
+" curl telnet://remote.server.com\n"
+"\n"
+" And enter the data to pass to the server on stdin. The result will be sent\n"
+" to stdout or to the file you specify with -o.\n"
+"\n"
+" You might want the -N/--no-buffer option to switch off the buffered output\n"
+" for slow connections or similar.\n"
+"\n"
+" NOTE: the telnet protocol does not specify any way to login with a specified\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" user and password so curl can't do that automatically. To do that, you need\n"
+" to track when the login prompt is received and send the username and\n"
+" password accordingly.\n"
+"\n"
+"PERSISTANT CONNECTIONS\n"
+"\n"
+" Specifying multiple files on a single command line will make curl transfer\n"
+" all of them, one after the other in the specified order.\n"
+"\n"
+" libcurl will attempt to use persistant connections for the transfers so that\n"
+" the second transfer to the same host can use the same connection that was\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" already initiated and was left open in the previous transfer. This greatly\n"
+" decreases connection time for all but the first transfer and it makes a far\n"
+" better use of the network.\n"
+"\n"
+" Note that curl cannot use persistant connections for transfers that are used\n"
+" in subsequence curl invokes. Try to stuff as many URLs as possible on the\n"
+" same command line if they are using the same host, as that'll make the\n"
+" transfers faster. If you use a http proxy for file transfers, practicly\n"
+);
+ puts(
+" all transfers will be persistant.\n"
+"\n"
+" Persistant connections were introduced in curl 7.7.\n"
