For more than 20 years, I’ve downloaded files using wget because I could never remember curl options.
It turns out that I was not alone.
Samuel Henrique (npub19x9…r67d) created a simple wrapper around curl called "wcurl". This is brilliant! And, yes, the name is very intuitive. Best of all, it is already in Debian (and on my system) but it should really be part of the official curl distribution (ping daniel:// stenberg:// (npub1cm0…enqe) )
