Having pressed send, I thought about this some more.  Ideally we should have a set of samples demonstrating the use of cUrl with ooRexx and I wonder if it wouldn't be really nice if they demonstrated using a restful interface with the JSON class.

I have code for a GET and a POST using JSON class with Mark's rexx/cUrl, but it was really a novice scrabbling around in the dark.  If anyone could produce samples demonstrating POST & GET, along with PUT, PATCH & DELETE it would be a great resource.

This would be great IMHO, if you could come up with some short/simple samples 
that demonstrate that!

It would also help Rexx programmers to take advantage of the json class, I am 
sure!

    I think that the usage section should briefly explain what cUrl is or what 
cUrl does.
    I remember the first time I met it as a Rexx programmer it was confusing.

    Could be as simple as.

    N.B.: This program uses "curl" to retrieve data and documents from the 
internet on all platforms. You can find more information
           on the Internet or<https://curl.se>  <https://curl.se/>

        Dave, could you look at the enclosed sample and give some feedback 
whether it serves its
        purpose (demonstrate the new ADDRESS...WITH in an understandable 
manner)?

            One of the many new great features of ooRexx 5.0.0 is the 
ADDRESS...WITH variant.

            In order to demonstrate how to use it, here an idea: have a sample 
that uses curl
            command (available
            on all modern operating systems) to fetch the latest ooRexx 
documentation files from
            SourceForge and
            download them into a subdirectory named docs.V, where "V" would be 
the ooRexx
            version. Supplying the
            optional ooRexx version (e.g. "4.2.0", "5.0.0", "5.1.0beta", etc.) 
would download
            all the
            documentation files from the given SourceForge oorexx-docs 
directory.

            What do you think, would that be a helpful sample to add to ooRexx?
