Does anyone have a version of geturl with a few bells and whistles? Like following redirects, going through proxies, handling custom headers,
uploading a file, etc? My use case will involve downloading which may
include a file, and uploading content (i.e., file) with extra headers.

Take a look at my www project: https://chiselapp.com/user/schelte/repository/www. It does at least some
of what you ask about. Let me know if there is generally useful
functionality you are missing.

tclcurl-fa (https://github.com/flightaware/tclcurl-fa) likely exposes
all of those needs, but you do need to be able to compile a C
extension in order to use it.

Thank you! That is indeed a very good option. I will play with it and
see what I can do over the long weekend.

Thank you! I will check out www first since it has no requirements.

Interesting fact I just discovered: curl is now part of the MS Windows install. So if you are on a recent version of Windows, you can just
issue curl commands on the command shell.

Ah, this is interesting news. I'll have to check on $job's W11 install
to see if it includes a 'curl' now.

I just installed it and I am going through the docs now. It seems to be
light on examples and use cases. It would be helpful if you could share
some scripts using it.

Thanks,

I am sure I am missing something here with this simple example but what?

% package req www
2.6

% www get https://www.yahoo.com
too many attempts


The same thing works with http::geturl:

% http::geturl https://www.yahoo.com
::http::1

I have been testing the package with tls 1.8. I guess you are using tls
1.7 instead. There was a bug in adapting the command line arguments for
that version. That has now been fixed in version 2.7 of the www package.


Thanks,
Schelte.

The test suite exercises different use cases of the commands. You can
take a look there for some usage examples.

Yes this was the cause. I can confirm that the new version runs ok on
that url and others I a few others tried. I will be testing it in the
next few days.

Thank you.

Since you asked for new functionality :-)

I think a method that would take a response body and mime parse it into individual components would be a great addition. I believe the package
is doing this already when constructing the request. Something similar
on the response would make it easier for users of the package. What do
you think?
