Annotation of embedaddon/curl/docs/cmdline-opts/metalink.d, revision 1.1

1.1     ! misho       1: Long: metalink
        !             2: Help: Process given URLs as metalink XML file
        !             3: Added: 7.27.0
        !             4: Requires: metalink
        !             5: ---
        !             6: This option can tell curl to parse and process a given URI as Metalink file
        !             7: (both version 3 and 4 (RFC 5854) are supported) and make use of the mirrors
        !             8: listed within for failover if there are errors (such as the file or server not
        !             9: being available). It will also verify the hash of the file after the download
        !            10: completes. The Metalink file itself is downloaded and processed in memory and
        !            11: not stored in the local file system.
        !            12: 
        !            13: Example to use a remote Metalink file:
        !            14: 
        !            15:  curl --metalink http://www.example.com/example.metalink
        !            16: 
        !            17: To use a Metalink file in the local file system, use FILE protocol (file://):
        !            18: 
        !            19:  curl --metalink file://example.metalink
        !            20: 
        !            21: Please note that if FILE protocol is disabled, there is no way to use a local
        !            22: Metalink file at the time of this writing. Also note that if --metalink and
        !            23: --include are used together, --include will be ignored. This is because
        !            24: including headers in the response will break Metalink parser and if the
        !            25: headers are included in the file described in Metalink file, hash check will
        !            26: fail.
