" (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The\n"
" command is designed to work without user interaction or any\n"

"\n"
" curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support,\n"
" user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, SSL (https:)\n"
" connections, cookies, file transfer resume and more.\n"
"\n"
"URL\n"
" The URL syntax is protocol dependent. You'll find a detailed\n"
);
puts(
" description in RFC 2396.\n"
"\n"
" You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing\n"
" part sets within braces as in:\n"
"\n"
" http://site.{one,two,three}.com\n"
"\n"
" or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using []\n"

" \"cookie parser\" which will make curl record incoming\n"
