I am writing a Nautilus script that uses curl to GET/POST with a REST service.
Installing my script should be as simple as dropping a single file to ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts
My concern is that many computers might not have curl installed.
What would be a more widespread (should be installed by default on most distros) yet usable alternative to curl? Maybe wget or telnet?
Since the script is used under Linux (Nautilus),
wgetcan be used in place ofcurl. Just change the command line arguments to the wget equivalents before running the script.
