The curl utility is a command-lineprogram (and associated library) for interacting with various network protocols; it is commonly usedto do things like transferring data from a remote server over HTTP or HTTPSusing a URL. But curl also supports a lot more protocols, some of whichare probably rarely used, obsolete, deprecated, or all three. As a recentdiscussion on the Fedora devel mailing list shows, though, it is hard tofind agreement that support for only some of those protocols should be installed by default,while others might be left in an optional package for those who need them.
