The new version binds to libcurl.dll, which enables that one can use this lib to perfom HTTP requests via code or command line. An interface might be something like

http "http://example.com"
net "http://example.com" ## might be more future-proof

It is reasonable to enable https support (compile with libssh).

Analysis:

Enabling https requires adding another library to libcurl providing TLS support. mbed TLS will do the trick. Furthermore, the new command url will provide even ftp support so that we can browse through public available FTP servers. We currently think about adding uploading functionalities via libcurl, but this might be part of another ticket.

Implementation:

  • Implementation: Feature implemented as proposed by the analysis. The command is url and it does additionally support uploads to FTP servers. The library supports many more protocols, therefore more of them might be supported in the future.
  • Revision: [r889]
  • Implementation test: HTTP and FTP server accesses were performed and files were downloaded. Some files were uploaded to a FTP server.

Tests:

Created a new SW test procedure for url. Tests ran without deviations (except of time-outs from the server).
