invoke the curl tool using a command line. This is the way to use curl if
you're using PHP3 or PHP4 built without curl module support.
3.10 What about SOAP, WEBDAV, XML-RPC or similar protocols over HTTP?
Curl adheres to the HTTP spec, which basically means you can play with *any*
protocol that is built ontop of HTTP. Protocols such as SOAP, WEBDAV and
XML-RPC are all such ones. You can use -X to set custom requests and -H to
set custom headers (or replace internally generated ones).
Using libcurl or PHP's curl modules is just as fine and you'd just use the
proper library options to do the same.

6.6. Can you please change the curl/libcurl license to XXXX?
No. We carefully picked this license years ago and a large amount of people
have contributed with source code knowing that this is the license we
use. This license puts the restrictions we want on curl/libcurl and it does
not spread to other programs or libraries that use it. The recent dual
license modification should make it possible for everyone to use libcurl or
curl in their projects, no matter what license they already have in use.
