Curl vs Wget

-
To get started first we do the following

First check if curl is installed on our Ubuntu, if not, we install is using the following:




-L if server reports that the requested page has moved to a different location. redo the requests on new place.
-# for progress bar

There could be some dodo systems which might be doing this and they would need to be tweaked to now allow message-id (see my earlier posts on what it means) and to have https!
