I announced this at the May plugfest in Seattle, but I never told this list: HP
has released a port of libcurl to edk2 on SourceForge. Libcurl is a widely-used
file transfer library, this port lets you write http-capable edk2 applications.
It relies on the socket library in the EADK (AppPkg).
Files are available at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/libcurledk2/
I added some pre-compiled X64 binaries, so you can test url2file directly:
* Run ifconfig first, e.g. ifconfig -s eth0 dhcp
* Run url2file <url>, e.g. url2file http://74.125.21.100
* The downloaded page is saved to page.out
I'm hoping to merge this eventually into the main edk2 tree and/or the main
libcurl package.
Enjoy!
Kimon
