What is cURL?

  • The name originally stood for "see URL" and is a computer software project providing a library and command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols.

Why SLM Browser is using it?

  • Well, it's simple: there is no proper way to submit cookies via HTTP request in GODOT or this is yet urged to find out!

Note for windows users: SLM Browser works with cURL to grab any kind of product images and might work with upcoming releases of cURL.

If you, however, got rid of the curl sub-folder or loose it through data corruption you might need a fresh copy of the windows release or build the curl folder yourself!

steps for building a happy cURL folder that satisfies SLM Browser in this release:

  • grab and extract any bin-release (binary/compiled/executable) from here
  • pick Windows/Win32 OR Win64 (both might work) --> generic --> any --> grab the latest release download with SSL and SSH enabled
  • extract the package somewhere
  • copy the 3 files (curl.exe, curl-ca-bundle.crt, libcurl.dll) from the "bin" sub-folder
  • create a sub-folder inside the root or working directory of this release of SLM Browser with the name "curl"
  • SLM Browser should work now properly (maybe you need to restart it too)
