It's probably worth noting that Powershell v3 and up, contains a cmdlet called Invoke-WebRequest that has some curl-ish capabilities. The New-WebServiceProxy and Invoke-RestMethod cmdlets are probably worth mentioning too.
I'm not sure they will fit your needs or not, but although I'm not a Windows guy, I have to say I find the object approach PS takes, a lot easier to work with than utilities such as curl, wget etc. They may be worth taking a look at
Once you download a package, unzip it wherever you want. I recommend adding its location to your path, so you can call curl from batch or powershell scripts. To add a directory to your path type "environment variables" in the start menu, and select "edit user environment variables". Select Path, and add to the end of the "value" box: ;C:\curl\directory (with the directory changed to where you saved curl.)
If you want to use SSL you need a certificate bundle. Run either mk-ca-bundle.pl (perl) or mk-ca-bundle.vbs (VBScript). Some of the packages of binaries include one or both of them. If your download doesn't include one, download one here: I recommend mk-ca-bundle.vbs, as on windows you simply double click it to run it. It will produce a file called ca-bundle.crt. Rename it curl-ca-bundle.crt and save it in the directory with curl.exe.
Alternatively, I recently developed an msi installer that sets up a full featured build of curl with just a few clicks. It automatically ads curl to your path, includes a ready-to-use ssl certificate bundle, and makes the curl manual and documentation accessible from the start menu. You can download it at www.confusedbycode.com/curl/.
curl version: 7.53.1 - SSL enabled SSH enabled. Provided by: Viktor Szakáts. This package is type curl executable You will get a pre-built 'curl' binary from this link (or in some cases, by using the information that is provided at the page this link takes you). You may or may not get 'libcurl' installed as a shared library/DLL.The file is packaged using 7zip. 7zip is a file archiving format.
If you look in the bin folder you'll see curl.exe. If you double-click it a window will quickly flash up and vanish. To run it you need to use the Command Prompt. Navigate to the bin folder and type curl followed by your parameters to make a request. You must use double-quotes. Single quotes won't work with curl on Windows.
Now you'll want to add curl to a user's Path variable so you don't have to navigate to the right folder to run the program. Go to This PC, Computer, System Properties, Advanced system settings, authenticate as an administrator (you're not running as admin, right? Right?) Environment Variables, System variables, look at the list and select Path, then Edit, then New, then, e.g.
You can add a trailing backslash if you like, I don't think it matters. Click move up until it's at the top of the list, then you can see it easily from the previous screen. Click OK, OK, OK, then crack open a Command Prompt and you can run curl by typing curl from any folder, as any user. Don't forget your double-quotes.
I was looking for the download process of Curl and every where they said copy curl.exe file in System32 but they haven't provided the direct link. so here it is enjoy, find curl.exe easily in bin folder just
To include developers' files in your installation, click Advanced. The developers' files include libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, libssh2.dll, zlib.dll, msvcr120.dll, C headers, libs, and code examples.
Follow the screens one by one to select type of package (curl executable), OS (Win64), flavor (Generic), CPU (x86_64) and the download link.
If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and perform Kerberos V5, Negotiate, NTLM or Digest authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-u :".
When authentication is used, curl only sends its credentials to the initial host. If a redirect takes curl to a different host, it won't be able to intercept the user+password. See also --location-trusted on how to change this.
Until the day of this post, our vulnerability detection tool has detected the curl 7.87.0 version on the network as vulnerable, which appears in most windows server operating systems in an integrated way.
The issue is resolved with April, 11th round of updates for all supported operating systems. (e.g., KB5025229 for Windows Server 2019, KB5025230 for Windows Server 2022.)The inbox version of curl.exe (located at %WinDir%\System32\curl.exe) has been updated to version 8.0.1 which addresses CVE-2022-43552. Note that if some other software installed curl.exe to another location, it needs to be updated separately.

New to Go. Just trying to do the tutorial on the Go webpage, building a RESTful API. I'm running into issues with the section where you write a handler to post an item. I am able to run GET and retrieve data from the API. I just can't add. I am currently receiving a 400 Bad request. I think I am not running the curl function correctly in windows. Can anyone give me tips on my syntax as to what may be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
From the Windows machine I use: curl -L -H "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key:[redacted]" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data-binary "name":"Test Object","category":"network","type":"cidr","cidr":"ip4 address","groupIds":"[]" [redacted]/PolicyObjects -v
To be able to run curl, it is necessary to go to the program directory and from there run the commands. If we want to avoid this, it is necessary to edit the environment variables. In addition, add a new variable to the PATH environment. If you want to know how to do it, please see here. In this case, I only show you that the path you have to add is C:\curl
I also use a variety of homegrown PowerShell scripts (.ps1), batch files (.bat) - some of which are simply wrappers for curl - and Java programs to send JSON to EC. For example, I use Java to massage JSON lines-formatted event data with an ISO 8601-formatted time stamp field into EC "packets" with a Unix Epoch time metadata field.
If you try to upgrade your old version of cURL with a different package, you will be prompted to manually uninstall it before installing the new version. For example, if you installed cURL 7.33.0 with curl-7.33.0-win32.msi, and you run curl-7.34.0-win64.msi, the installation will be blocked untill you uninstall the old one. On the other hand, if you used curl-7.33.0-win32.msi and you run curl-7.34.0-win32.msi, it will upgrade automatically.
Today, I was working on a script using PowerShell. The original script was written in Bash, and we needed the same script with feature parity for Windows. We decided a while back that we would try to make full use curl to keep with that parity and because it is an excellent way for downloading files compared to what ships with PowerShell. However, that is where the issue creeps up. Part of the process that I was working on checked to see if a self-signed cert was used. If so, then download it. Once that cert is downloaded, we use the --cacert flag with our curl commands to validate our requests.
Ever since we started shipping curl, it has been possible to build curl for Windows and run it on Windows. It has been working fine on all Windows versions since at least Windows 95. Running curl on Windows is not new to us. Users with a little bit of interest and knowledge have been able to run curl on Windows for almost 20 years already.
Having curl shipped by default by the manufacturer of an operating system of course makes a huge difference. Once this goes out to the general public, all of a sudden several hundred million users will get a curl command line tool install for them without having to do anything. Installing curl yourself on Windows still requires some skill and knowledge and on places like stackoverflow, there are many questions and users showing how it can be problematic.
I am writing a shell script which will post a file to this machine/url. I am able to download file using curl from this location but when I post/put, it gives me error. It says that I am trying to put it in a folder and expected is a file.
If I get this working, I plan on creating a batch file that can allow people to modify all of the parameters that you can on the webpage, and create your custom presets to be loaded on your PC as files. And as part of the windows batch system, this project can be further expanded upon.
curl was first released in 1996.[9] It was originally named httpget and then became urlget before adopting the current name of curl[10][11] The original author and lead developer is the Swedish developer Daniel Stenberg, who created curl because he wanted to automate the fetching of currency exchange rates for IRC users.[2]
