A collection of ISO C binding interfaces to libcurl for Fortran 2008. At the moment, this project is just a proof of concept. Compilation has been tested with GNU Fortran 10 and cURL 7.72.0.

Install cURL with development headers. On FreeBSD, run:

# pkg install ftp/curl

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=gfortran10

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

$ make PREFIX=/usr

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

Examples are provided in directory examples/:

• download fetches a remote file.
• 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).
• smtp sends an e-mail via SMTP (SSL).
• version outputs cURL version information.

Build an example with:

$ make <name>
