fortran-curl

A collection of ISO C binding interfaces to libcurl for Fortran 2008. Compilation has been tested with GNU Fortran 11 and cURL 7.83.0.

Dependencies

Install cURL with development headers. On FreeBSD, run:

# pkg install ftp/curl

Compilation

Clone the repository and then run make to build the interfaces:

$ git clone https://github.com/interkosmos/fortran-curl
$ cd fortran-curl/
$ make

You can override the default compiler by passing the FC argument, for example:

$ make FC=ifort

On Linux, you may want to change the prefix to /usr:

$ make PREFIX=/usr

Link your Fortran application with libfortran-curl.a -lcurl.

Examples

Examples are provided in directory examples/:

• dict queries a DICT server on TCP port 2628.
• download fetches a remote file.
• getinfo prints request-related information to console.
• gopher prints the contents of a remote Gopher map file.
• http makes an HTTP GET request.
• imap examines the INBOX of an IMAP mailbox (SSL).
• post makes an HTTP POST request.
• smtp sends an e-mail via SMTP (SSL).
• version outputs cURL version information.

Build an example with:

$ make <name>

Coverage

Support for fpm

This projects supports the Fortran Package Manager (fpm). To build the project with fpm, run:

$ fpm build --profile=release

The example applications are available with the fpm run --example command.

You can use fortran-curl in your fpm projects with:

[dependencies]
fortran-curl = { git = "https://github.com/interkosmos/fortran-curl.git" }
