Alien::Build::Plugin::Fetch::CurlCommand

Curl command line plugin for fetching files

SYNOPSIS

use alienfile;

share {
  meta->prop->{start_url} = 'https://www.openssl.org/source/';
  plugin 'Fetch::CurlCommand';

};

DESCRIPTION

NOTE: This distribution has been merged into Alien::Build. See here: https://github.com/Perl5-Alien/Alien-Build. This version is no longer maintained.

This plugin provides a fetch based on the curl command. It works with other fetch plugins (that is, the first one which succeeds will be used). Most of the time the best plugin to use will be Alien::Build::Plugin::Download::Negotiate, but for some SSL bootstrapping it may be desirable to try curl first.

This plugin is not currently part of the Alien::Build core, but the hope is that it will be declared stable enough in the near future to be included.

Protocols supported: http, https

PROPERTIES

curl_command

The full path to the curl command. The default is usually correct.

ssl

Ignored by this plugin. Provided for compatibility with some other fetch plugins.
