Extend support to non-curl/wget-friendly command lines #4

Closed jdaymude closed 4 years ago

jdaymude commented 4 years ago

Description xbox2local makes all its X API calls using curl and downloads all media using wget. So despite being a Python script that runs anywhere Python is installed, these commands will of course fail on any command lines where curl and wget are not present or have different syntax. Support and testing need to be extended for command lines where other utilities are used for URL access.

Can you help develop and maintain this feature? Yes.

Some initial research on which command lines support what tools:

Command Line	`curl`	`wget`
Unix-based	✔	✔
Windows Command Prompt	✔	❌
Windows Powershell	⚠	⚠
macOS Terminal	✔	⚠

⚠Powershell: curl and wget are both supported, but it seems like their syntax is different.

⚠macOS: wget is not available natively, but can be installed using Homebrew.
