My thanks to Marty as well.
It is indeed a very nice tool if you want to download files to a VMS system, and
you don't have a browser running on that system.
This is how a typical command line for Curl could look like:
$curl "http://Some-Website.com/Some%20File.dat" --output "[output]Some_File.dat"
Don't forget the double quotes!
If you want to preserve the case for the output file (on a ODS-5 disk), you
obviously will have to run your process in extended mode:
$set process /parse_style=extended
and you will need to set the following logical:
$define DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE ENABLE
(for newbies: ODS-5 is only supported on Alpha and IA64, not Vax)
