Servers are often interacted with via URLs. curl is just one of many tools for interacting with them. If you have access to a terminal with curl installed I would suggest running man curl and having a read of the output. Alternatively it can be read here: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/curl.1.html permalink fedilink source parent [–] 48954246@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 child) I've see your other posts now and I've come to the conclusion you are trying to figure out how to browse the web via a terminal. In the biz we call this an https://xyproblem.info/ You were never going to get a satisfying answer with your question. A better one would have been "how do I browse the web with a terminal" And people would have directed you to search for things like "terminal browser" permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] iii@mander.xyz 2 points 11 months ago Just in case that is the question - this post confuses me too! - I prefer lynx. permalink fedilink source parent
