Hey,

This whole family of functions, fopen, fread, fwrite, fgets, fclose and more
are defined in the C standard since C89. You can¢t really call yourself a C
programmer without knowing them and probably even using them in at least a few
places.

I¢ve started to work on a library that provides a look-alike API with matching
functions and behaviors, but that allows fopen() to instead specify a URL
instead of a file name. I call it fcurl. It is hosted at
https://github.com/bagder/fcurl

It is not strictly libcurl, as it is written to be on top of it but it is
powered by libcurl of course.

The entire blog post is here:
