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.
The source code for the latest version of the module may be downloaded from ftp://space.mit.edu/pub/davis/slang/v2.1/modules/curl/. The development version may be obtained from the Subversion repository using
svn co http://opensvn.csie.org/jedsoft/slang/modules/slcurl/trunk slcurl
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.
