33 The <application>cURL</application> package contains an utility
34 and a library used for transferring files with URL syntax to any of
35 the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP,
36 TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. Its ability to both download
37 and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support
38 functions like streaming media.
