%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ cURL The cURL package contains curl and its support library libcurl. This is useful for transferring files with URL syntax to any of the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. This ability to both download and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support functions like streaming media. &lfs72_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &curl-md5sum; Download size: &curl-size; Estimated disk space required: &curl-buildsize; Estimated build time: &curl-time; cURL Dependencies Recommended and or Optional c-ares, krb4, , libmetalink, libssh2, , and SPNEGO Optional for Running the Test Suite (for the HTTPS and FTPS tests) User Notes: Install cURL by running the following commands: sed -i '/--static-libs)/{N;s#echo .*#echo #;}' curl-config.in && ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-static --with-ca-path=/etc/ssl/certs && make To test the results, issue: make check. Now, as the root user: make install && find docs \( -name "Makefile*" -o -name "*.1" -o -name "*.3" \) -exec rm {} \; && install -v -d -m755 /usr/share/doc/curl-&curl-version; && cp -v -R docs/* /usr/share/doc/curl-&curl-version; sed -i '/--static-libs)/{N;s#echo .*#echo #;}' curl-config.in: As we've not installed the static libraries, this sed removes the static libs line from curl-config as it might otherwise confuse other applications. --with-ca-path=/etc/ssl/certs: This parameter sets the directory to use as the path to the SSL certificates. If you've not installed or and the you can remove this option. --with-gssapi: This parameter adds Kerberos 5 support to libcurl. --without-ssl --with-gnutls: Use to build with GnuTLS support instead of OpenSSL for SSL/TLS. find docs \( -name "Makefile*" -o -name "*.1" -o -name "*.3" \) -exec rm {} \;: This command removes Makefiles and man files from the documentation directory that would otherwise be installed by the commands that follow.
