You can specify multiple URLs or parts of URLs by writing part sets within
|
||||
braces as in:
|
||||
|
||||
http://site.{one,two,three}.com
|
||||
http://site.{one,two,three}.com
|
||||
|
||||
or you can get sequences of alphanumeric series by using [] as in:
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt
|
||||
ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with leading zeros)
|
||||
ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt
|
||||
ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[1-100].txt
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.numericals.com/file[001-100].txt (with leading zeros)
|
||||
|
||||
ftp://ftp.letters.com/file[a-z].txt
|
||||
|
||||
Nested sequences are not supported, but you can use several ones next to each
|

You can specify any amount of URLs on the command line. They will be fetched
|
||||
in a sequential manner in the specified order.

You can specify a step counter for the ranges to get every Nth number or

letter:

http://www.numericals.com/file[1-100:10].txt
|

http://www.letters.com/file[a-z:2].txt

|

http://www.letters.com/file[a-z:2].txt
|
||||
|
||||
When using [] or {} sequences when invoked from a command line prompt, you
|
||||
probably have to put the full URL within double quotes to avoid the shell from
|
||||
interfering with it. This also goes for other characters treated special, like
|
||||
for example '&', '?' and '*'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you specify URL without protocol:// prefix, curl will attempt to guess what
|
||||
protocol you might want. It will then default to HTTP but try other protocols
