Similarly, using the cURL one can check the data of any specific website, and not only that it also provides various options for downloading or uploading any file. So here is the basic syntax for using the cURL utility:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl -<span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>options<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>url<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>1: Retrieving Basic URL Information <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the basic uses of client URL utility is fetching information about any URL and for that usually the I flag is used. By using this flag HTTP response headers are fetched which include URL information about its server, content type, and more. This information is useful for debugging, monitoring or understanding how a server responds to requests:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl <span class=\"re5\">-I<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>URL<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here, for demonstration, I have fetched the HTTP response headers for Google:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"714\" height=\"318\" class=\"wp-image-26431\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-16.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-16.png 714w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-16-300x134.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 714px) 100vw, 714px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>2: Exploring URL Homepage Content<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you are looking to fix certain bugs or trying to do customizations on the website through its HTML code, then you can use the cURL command to retrieve the page content of the respective website:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl https:<span class=\"sy0\">\/\/&lt;<\/span>URL<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here again, for the demonstration I have fetched the HTML code for Google home page:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"806\" height=\"299\" class=\"wp-image-26446\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-17.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-17.png 806w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-17-300x111.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-17-768x285.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3: Limiting File Download Rate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, the cURL utility is used for data transfer, which includes downloading the files. The client URL comes with a <em>limit-rate<\/em> flag through which the desired download rate for the file can be set.<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl <span class=\"re5\">--limit-rate<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>desired-speed<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span> <span class=\"re5\">-O<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>file-download-url<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here to illustrate the use of the above-given syntax, I have limited the download rate to 500 KBs for downloading the Node.js tar file. This option comes into play when you are downloading multiple files in parallel and want to distribute the download rate equally among all.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"229\" class=\"wp-image-26452\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-18.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-18.png 815w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-18-300x84.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-18-768x216.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4: Downloading Files using cURL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The one of most used features of cURL is downloading files from URLs, and different options can be used while downloading files. Primarily, there are two major flags differentiated by their cases, you can set the desired name of the file to be downloaded using the o alphabet in lower case:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl <span class=\"re5\">-o<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>file-name<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>file-download-link<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p>Here, to further make the syntax more understandable, I have downloaded the Node.js tar file and named be file nodejs.tar.gz. This option proves to be helpful when either the default name is long enough or is difficult to identify:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"328\" class=\"wp-image-26457\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-19.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-19.png 865w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-19-300x114.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-19-768x291.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Next, if you want to save the file with its default name then use the o in upper case as in the syntax below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"codecolorer-container bash blackboard\" style=\"width:100%;\"><div class=\"bash codecolorer\">curl <span class=\"re5\">-O<\/span> <span class=\"sy0\">&lt;<\/span>download-link<span class=\"sy0\">&gt;<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"865\" height=\"276\" class=\"wp-image-26463\" src=\"http:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-20.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-20.png 865w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-20-300x96.png 300w, https:\/\/linuxways.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/word-image-26241-20-768x245.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 865px) 100vw, 865px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>5: Resuming Pause Download <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sometimes while downloading files you might encounter any interruption, i.e., any network relevant or the system error.
