@bagder With a tiny fix and a few extra steps, I managed to run #wcurl on Win dows: https://github.com/curl/wcurl/pull/73
@bagder A difference? PowerShell v5 says curl and wget are just aliases of Invoke-WebRequest :D
@bagder I think #HappyEyeballs in curl should be mentioned. Very useful on lacking IPv6 connectivity. Https DNS record support is not it WGet, is it?
@bagder what I miss from curl is downloading multiple files, keeping their file names. WGet does that by default. How do I do: curl -LO https://example.org/file1.bin https://example.org/file2.png?
@pemensik you either do one -O for each URL since each URL needs info where store them, or you use --remote-name-all which is basically saying "use -O for all URLs"
@bagder nice. Has --remote-name-all some short variant? I like to use shell expansion like file{1,2,3,4}.bin. Option -O cannot be used with such expansion. Could wcurl do it by default perhaps?
@pemensik curl has its own "globbing" that -O works with:
curl -O "https://example.com/[1-1000].jpg" etc
@bagder would it work like pkg{,-test,-dev,-lib}? I use it to download rpm subpackages.
@bagder The thing I tend to be most interested in is if the tool can report remote file size without downloading the file.
@bagder i was a wget user, but time comes when you have to curl
@bagder
how the default name of the destination file is computed
