hurl - copy http url data

hurl copies the data for the http url operand to the standard output. The url must be of the form [http://] host[:port]/path. The default port is 80.

hurl is a shell script that attempts to access the url by these methods:

/dev/tcp/host/80

Supported by ksh(1) and recent bash(1).

wget -nv -O - url

lynx -source url

curl -s -L -o - url

-a, --authorize=user:password

The url authorization user name and password, separated by : (one colon character.)

-s, --size=bytes

Terminate the data transmission after bytes have been transferred.

-v, --verbose

Verbose trace.

curl(1), lynx(1), wget(1)
