Dear sir,    Thank you for the reply, I am very sorry if I ask stupid questions....I look up the link you gave over and over but I still cannot understand how to save the code file. I have curl.exe in my C\: and when I double click on the curl.exe application, a command window open and closed for a split second. I want to start with just getting the main page..... ' curl http://curl.haxx.se -o "file_#1.txt ' Is this all I type in notepad and what file extension to save....Do i save this file as .... a) curl_beginner.txt b) curl_beginner.curl From: Daniel Stenberg <daniel@haxx.se> To: soo hong Khoo <soohongkhoo@yahoo.com>; the curl tool <curl-users@cool.haxx.se> Sent: Monday, 28 January 2013 11:24 PM Subject: Re: New Learner On Fri, 25 Jan 2013, soo hong Khoo wrote: > a) how to save the file (extension).... after writing out the code in notepad programme curl -O [URL] is usually enough > b)do i need to have other programme install, if I want to do "get/post" (filling and submitting a form)   Thank you No, curl does that on its own.
