Oh! "curl" is "c url". It's taken me several years to understand that, and I knew exactly what it did! I imagined my data "curling" off the website, down the intertubes to my filesystem.
- bmcorser_ 11y agomore than that, i remember reading it was pronounced "see url" .. which makes sense when you look at its default behaviour of printing whatever's at the url you give it; especially compared to wget, which 'gets' whatever's at a url :)
