Curl passes all data + passed to it on stdin to the remote server. Connect to a remote telnet + server using a command line similar to: + + curl telnet://remote.server.com + + And enter the data to pass to the server on stdin. The result will be sent + stdout or to the file you specify with -o. + + You might want the -N/--no-buffer option to switch off the buffered output + for slow connections or if the output from the remote site is slow and/or + without newlines. + + NOTE: the telnet protocol does not specify any way to login with a specified + user and password and thus curl can't do that automatically. To do that, you + need to track when the login prompt is received and send the username and + password accordingly. + MAILING LIST We have an open mailing list to discuss curl, its development and things |
