I'm one of the 98%, and I don't like using cURL for this reason -- the CLI feels clunky and its gigantic number of options are distracting for my simple use case.
Can anyone recommend a good alternative for the base case?

- justin_oaks 5y agoI recognize the huge amount of time and effort that went into make cURL, but I agree that the gigantic number of options are distracting. When I read the cURL man page, I have a hard time finding what I want because there are literally dozens of screens of options. That said, I still will reach for cURL even when simpler options exist because it's ubiquitous. Same thing with Bash, grep, and sed.
