Build/install the man page. Install the script. This an "import" rather than just adding the script into the release tarball with maketgz to make sure the tarball build is completely reproducible. wcurl development, issues etc is still to be done at https://github.com/curl/wcurl Assisted-by: Viktor Szakats Assisted-by: Samuel Henrique Closes #17035

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
**wcurl** is a simple curl wrapper which lets you use curl to download files
|
|
without having to remember any parameters.
|
|
|
|
Simply call **wcurl** with a list of URLs you want to download and **wcurl**
|
|
picks sane defaults.
|
|
|
|
If you need anything more complex, you can provide any of curl's supported
|
|
parameters via the **--curl-options** option. Just beware that you likely
|
|
should be using curl directly if your use case is not covered.
|
|
|
|
By default, **wcurl** does:
|
|
|
|
## * Percent-encode whitespaces in URLs;
|
|
|
|
## * Download multiple URLs in parallel
|
|
if the installed curl's version is \>= 7.66.0 (--parallel);
|
|
|
|
## * Follow redirects;
|
|
|
|
## * Automatically choose a filename as output;
|
|
|
|
## * Avoid overwriting files
|
|
if the installed curl's version is \>= 7.83.0 (--no-clobber);
|
|
|
|
## * Perform retries;
|
|
|
|
## * Set the downloaded file timestamp
|
|
to the value provided by the server, if available;
|
|
|
|
## * Default to https
|
|
if the URL does not contain any scheme;
|
|
|
|
## * Disable curl's URL globbing parser
|
|
so {} and [] characters in URLs are not treated specially;
|
|
|
|
## * Percent-decode the resulting filename;
|
|
|
|
## * Use 'index.html' as the default filename
|
|
if there is none in the URL.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
## --curl-options, --curl-options=\<CURL_OPTIONS\>...
|
|
|
|
Specify extra options to be passed when invoking curl. May be specified more
|
|
than once.
|
|
|
|
## -o, -O, --output, --output=\<PATH\>
|
|
|
|
Use the provided output path instead of getting it from the URL. If multiple
|
|
URLs are provided, resulting files share the same name with a number appended to
|
|
the end (curl \>= 7.83.0). If this option is provided multiple times, only the
|
|
last value is considered.
|
|
|
|
## --no-decode-filename
|
|
|
|
Don't percent-decode the output filename, even if the percent-encoding in the
|
|
URL was done by **wcurl**, e.g.: The URL contained whitespaces.
|
|
|
|
## --dry-run
|
|
|
|
Do not actually execute curl, just print what would be invoked.
|
|
|
|
## -V, \--version
|
|
|
|
Print version information.
|
|
|
|
## -h, \--help
|
|
|
|
Print help message.
|
|
|
|
# CURL_OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
Any option supported by curl can be set here. This is not used by **wcurl**; it
|
|
is instead forwarded to the curl invocation.
|
|
|
|
# URL
|
|
|
|
URL to be downloaded. Anything that is not a parameter is considered
|
|
an URL. Whitespaces are percent-encoded and the URL is passed to curl, which
|
|
then performs the parsing. May be specified more than once.
|
|
|
|
# EXAMPLES
|
|
|
|
Download a single file:
|
|
|
|
**wcurl example.com/filename.txt**
|
|
|
|
Download two files in parallel:
|
|
|
|
**wcurl example.com/filename1.txt example.com/filename2.txt**
|
|
|
|
Download a file passing the **--progress-bar** and **--http2** flags to curl:
|
|
|
|
**wcurl --curl-options="--progress-bar --http2" example.com/filename.txt**
|
|
|
|
Resume from an interrupted download (if more options are used, this needs to
|
|
be the last one in the list):
|
|
|
|
**wcurl --curl-options="--continue-at -" example.com/filename.txt**
