that sounds like a useful improvement and is what kept me on wget back then for a long time, too. I'm still stumbling over -fL and every now and then get annoyed by having to specify that, but I understand why curl doesn't, by default.
well it's basically analogous to whirl, whorl, whurl isn't it?
But anyway, I probably prefer that because my German brain just can't read wcurl as double-u-curl, so it becomes something like ~whey-curl which doesn't roll of the tounge very nicely. That might be a me-problem though :).
neato, thank you for mentioning this! Gave me a chance to offer a hopefully useful little behavior tweak to diminish potential surprise behavior, github.com/Debian/wcurl/pull/9
Users may not expect URLs that include [] and {} character pairs to be interpolated by curl's globbing parser when they are expecting the behavior of a simple download tool. This change adds the "...

'You know... "it's that wget alternative for when you want to use curl instead"'
and followed by:
'wcurl will come installed with the curl package from now on'
Congrats all team involved!

This seems like a nice shortcut/wrapper though.

in reply to Schamschula • • •@schamschula I'd love to say the same for Homebrew, but without any releases that'll be a tough sell.
Any chance we can get a tag to package it?

We now have tagged releases, besides non-linux support (we dropped getopt) and a few other things.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •I don't get it. A new binary because people can't remember the switches? Alias the command with switches and no extra binary needed.
alias wcurl='curl -L -O -C'
