CTOW

cURL to Wget

A simple rust binary utility to convert curl commands to wget commands.

Available via cargo install ctow (link to crates.io).

Usage

ctow can be used in two modes: command with arguments and as a command line interface

Command With Arguments

You can simply pass ctow [curl command], and ctow will print the converted command to stdout, with no formatting or anything when successful, so the output can be piped and manipulated into a command like wget $(ctow [...]), etc

Do note that when passing in a curl command, you do not explicitly need to include the leading curl, as it is discarded anyway. The options that curl uses (e.g. -A User-Agent-Here) needs to have a space between the flag and its argument (this is a TODO).

Command-Line Interface

ctow comes with a command-line interface, which does have formatted output, and is not designed for use with scripts, but for a more user-friendly, interactive experience.

There are three commands:

• help - prints a help message
• curl - will convert a curl command into a wget command
• exit - exits the ctow CLI
