curl is a command line tool and library for transferring files with URL syntax,
supporting FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, and FILE.
curl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form
based upload, proxies, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Digest,
NTLM, Negotiate...), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and a busload of
other useful tricks.

As there are multiple components and many changes each release please
