Download a file without wget or curl
How would one go about downloading a file from the command line without using Wget or Curl?
Solution 1:
Using FTP:
ftp -A -v mirrors.sonic.net <<eof
binary
get cygwin/x86_64/setup.xz setup.xz
eof
Using OpenSSL - note this only works for HTTPS:
openssl s_client -quiet -connect superuser.com:443 <<eof
GET / HTTP/1.0
Host: superuser.com
eof
Using lynx:
lynx -source example.com > index.html
Solution 2:
This works with telnet instead of lynx:
(echo 'GET /'; echo; sleep 1; ) | telnet example.com 80
