<title>Introduction to cURL</title>
<para>
The <application>cURL</application> package contains a utility
and a library used for transferring files with URL syntax to any of
the following protocols: FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP,
TELNET, DICT, LDAP, LDAPS and FILE. Its ability to both download
and upload files can be incorporated into other programs to support
functions like streaming media.

<title>Installation of cURL</title>
<para>
Install <application>cURL</application> by running the following
commands:
</para>
<screen><userinput>./configure --prefix=/usr \
--disable-static \
--enable-threaded-resolver &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>
<para>
To test the results, issue: <command>make test</command>. Tests need many
conditions to run successfully, and some may fail. Usually, each failed
test takes a long time. If you wish to disable some tests, include them
in the appropriate file and run the tests again:
</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; tests/data/DISABLED &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>numb1
...
numbN
...</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<para>
Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>

<command>find docs \( -name "Makefile*" -o -name "*.1" -o -name "*.3"
