Hi,
as we say lets talk about this issuse ;-)
There are many improvments if we can use the multi-interface for the
tool for example:
curl ...{a1,a2}....[b1,b2]
curl -OO url1 url2
curl then makes two easy-handler and download it parallel ;-)
And some todos (http://curl.haxx.se/docs/todo.html) are easier to
implement such as:
--- . . * The client could be told to use maximum N simultaneous transfers and then just make sure that happens. It should of course not make more than one connection to the same remote host. This would require the client to use the multi interface. . . * Provide a way to make options bound to a specific URL among several on the command line. Possibly by letting ':' separate options between URLs, similar to this: curl --data foo --url url.com : \ --url url2.com : \ --url url3.com --data foo3 (More details: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2004-07/0133.html) The example would do a POST-GET-POST combination on a single command line. --- One Point would be also nice to make some Variables available for the previous step for a minimalistic Scripting ;-) Thoughts ?! regards AlexReceived on 2006-04-19
