Hey,This whole family of functions, fopen, fread, fwrite, fgets, fclose and more are defined in the C standard since C89. You can’t really call yourself a C programmer without knowing them and probably even using them in at least a few places.
I’ve started to work on a library that provides a look-alike API with matching functions and behaviors, but that allows fopen() to instead specify a URL instead of a file name. I call it fcurl. It is hosted at https://github.com/bagder/fcurl
It is not strictly libcurl, as it is written to be on top of it but it is powered by libcurl of course.
