Dunno. I actually haven't used it much; I came across it when I wanted a tool for managing webdav resources, but ran into a problem involving %-encoding of the space character. Never found out if it was a problem with curl or with the server, but I found a different method and haven't had time to go back to curl. What I really want is a tool that can manage webdav properties in batch mode; if you know of one please let me know. You could do it with curl, but since curl doesn't natively understand webdav it would be a good bit of work. For the -O issue: as with any tool that doesn't quite behave the way you like, you can always try The Unix Way: feed the output of one small tool into another. Download without -O, then use a shell command or script to convert the results. Maybe something along the lines of $ find ./ -name "*.txt" -exec basename {} \;. You might even be able to pipe the curl command output into basename. -gregg -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
