The S-Lang curl module makes use of the cURL library to
provide the S-Lang interpreter the ability to transfer files in a
simple but robust manner using a variety of protocols including FTP
and HTTP.
See the module's online documentation for more information about it.
A gzipped tar file containing the latest development version may be downloaded from http://www.jedsoft.org/snapshots/, where you will also find a link to the public source code repository.
A simple example of its use is provided by a S-Lang script called
translate, located in the demo subdirectory of the source
distribution. This script sends a user provided phrase to
http://babelfish.altavista.com for translation. Simply run it
run it to obtain a usage message:
translate [--to lang-out] lang-in [phrase|-]
For example, to translate ``Hola Mundo'' from Spanish to English use:
translate spanish Hola Mundo
and to translate ``Hola Mundo'' to French use:
translate --to french spanish Hola Mundo
It is also possible to use the script in a pipeline to play word
games:
translate --to spanish english Boy meets girl | \
translate --to french spanish | translate french
Enjoy.
