Download Curl On Windows ((INSTALL))
Hildur Streat
It is too easy to accidentally download the wrong thing. If, on the curl homepage, you click the large and prominent "Download" section in the site header, and then the large and prominent curl-7.62.0.tar.gz link in its body, you will have downloaded a curl source package, which contains curl's source code but not curl.exe. Watch out for that.
If you have more esoteric needs (e.g. you want cygwin builds, third-party builds, libcurl, header files, sources, etc.), use the curl download wizard. After answering five questions, you will be presented with a list of download links.
It's probably worth noting that Powershell v3 and up, contains a cmdlet called Invoke-WebRequest that has some curl-ish capabilities. The New-WebServiceProxy and Invoke-RestMethod cmdlets are probably worth mentioning too.
I'm not sure they will fit your needs or not, but although I'm not a Windows guy, I have to say I find the object approach PS takes, a lot easier to work with than utilities such as curl, wget etc. They may be worth taking a look at
Once you download a package, unzip it wherever you want. I recommend adding its location to your path, so you can call curl from batch or powershell scripts. To add a directory to your path type "environment variables" in the start menu, and select "edit user environment variables". Select Path, and add to the end of the "value" box: ;C:\curl\directory (with the directory changed to where you saved curl.)
If you want to use SSL you need a certificate bundle. Run either mk-ca-bundle.pl (perl) or mk-ca-bundle.vbs (VBScript). Some of the packages of binaries include one or both of them. If your download doesn't include one, download one here: I recommend mk-ca-bundle.vbs, as on windows you simply double click it to run it. It will produce a file called ca-bundle.crt. Rename it curl-ca-bundle.crt and save it in the directory with curl.exe.
Alternatively, I recently developed an msi installer that sets up a full featured build of curl with just a few clicks. It automatically ads curl to your path, includes a ready-to-use ssl certificate bundle, and makes the curl manual and documentation accessible from the start menu. You can download it at www.confusedbycode.com/curl/.
curl version: 7.53.1 - SSL enabled SSH enabled. Provided by: Viktor Szakáts. This package is type curl executable You will get a pre-built 'curl' binary from this link (or in some cases, by using the information that is provided at the page this link takes you). You may or may not get 'libcurl' installed as a shared library/DLL.The file is packaged using 7zip. 7zip is a file archiving format.
If you look in the bin folder you'll see curl.exe. If you double-click it a window will quickly flash up and vanish. To run it you need to use the Command Prompt. Navigate to the bin folder and type curl followed by your parameters to make a request. You must use double-quotes. Single quotes won't work with curl on Windows.
Now you'll want to add curl to a user's Path variable so you don't have to navigate to the right folder to run the program. Go to This PC, Computer, System Properties, Advanced system settings, authenticate as an administrator (you're not running as admin, right? Right?) Environment Variables, System variables, look at the list and select Path, then Edit, then New, then, e.g.
You can add a trailing backslash if you like, I don't think it matters. Click move up until it's at the top of the list, then you can see it easily from the previous screen. Click OK, OK, OK, then crack open a Command Prompt and you can run curl by typing curl from any folder, as any user. Don't forget your double-quotes.
I was looking for the download process of Curl and every where they said copy curl.exe file in System32 but they haven't provided the direct link. so here it is enjoy, find curl.exe easily in bin folder just
To include developers' files in your installation, click Advanced. The developers' files include libcurl.dll, libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll, libssh2.dll, zlib.dll, msvcr120.dll, C headers, libs, and code examples.
Follow the screens one by one to select type of package (curl executable), OS (Win64), flavor (Generic), CPU (x86_64) and the download link.
I just need to fetch an https page, and I'm using curl currently by having the curl.exe application in my Path and calling it with a Perl file. However, then I get the error "* Protocol https not supported or disabled in libcurl". I've been looking around and I can't find a solid set of instructions to get it to work. I have installed cygwin, and OpenSSL-Win32 but something tells me I'm going to have to compile curl from scratch. I have no experience with this. How do you do it?
You have to add PHP install path to windows environment path. For example it you install php on C:\PHP, add both C:\PHP and C:\PHP\ext to windows path. Some how Apache cannot find curl dependencies libeay32.dll, ssleay32.dll and libssh2.dll
so it turns out i need a fixed version of curl which i could not find for PHP_5.6.4, so i downgraded to PHP Version 5.4.3 and then downloaded Fixed curl extension(dont know what it is) from here replaced the original php_curl.dll with the one i downloaded and voila it worked.

Until the day of this post, our vulnerability detection tool has detected the curl 7.87.0 version on the network as vulnerable, which appears in most windows server operating systems in an integrated way.
The issue is resolved with April, 11th round of updates for all supported operating systems. (e.g., KB5025229 for Windows Server 2019, KB5025230 for Windows Server 2022.)The inbox version of curl.exe (located at %WinDir%\System32\curl.exe) has been updated to version 8.0.1 which addresses CVE-2022-43552. Note that if some other software installed curl.exe to another location, it needs to be updated separately.

In another thread I have been told that probably my files curl.exe and/or powershell.exe are broken. I have checked and they seem to work fine. Also, I have tried in 5 different computers under Windows (laptops, desktops and a workstation) and in all cases I get the same error message, what would it be the probability that curl.exe and/or powershell.ese are broken in 5 out of 5 computers picked at random?
curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not
establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and
how to fix it, please visit the web page mentioned above.
I was having a similar issue trying to properly install Plots.jl and I just solved it using a @giordano 's fork, so it seems that the problem is not with my curl.exe see:

New to Go. Just trying to do the tutorial on the Go webpage, building a RESTful API. I'm running into issues with the section where you write a handler to post an item. I am able to run GET and retrieve data from the API. I just can't add. I am currently receiving a 400 Bad request. I think I am not running the curl function correctly in windows. Can anyone give me tips on my syntax as to what may be wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have seen interesting use cases where a BigFix action leverages curl.exe installation to execute a REST API query or other curl-ish activities. Typically that means installing curl into your endpoint.
I was pleasantly surprised today to learn the curl.exe is now included in Windows 10 as of 1803, right in the system folder. Probably old news to some of you, but I missed the memo back in 2018 on this one!
The leading & is required because the path to the program is a quoted string. I had to specify the path because I don't have a curl.exe in my Windows PATH. However, I could just escape the space in "Program Files":
Note that you do have to provide the path to a curl executable, or at least specify curl.exe; curl by itself is a Powershell alias for the Invoke-WebRequest cmdlet, which can do most of what the cURL program can do but has very different argument syntax.
Another option is just to use the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which lets you run Linux programs (including the default Ubuntu versions of bash and curl) directly on Windows, no VM or rebooting needed. Full details about this can be found at -us/commandline/wsl/about, but the short version is try running bash (or bash.exe) from any Command Prompt or Powershell window, and it will install the Linux subsystem or at least tell you how.
From the Windows machine I use: curl -L -H "X-Cisco-Meraki-API-Key:[redacted]" -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST --data-binary "name":"Test Object","category":"network","type":"cidr","cidr":"ip4 address","groupIds":"[]" [redacted]/PolicyObjects -v
The user agent string does not tell you what operating system it is. So you have to distinguish curl requests from Linux machines and Windows machines with other info, like asset information, or TLS fingerprinting (if HTTPS is used), or looking at other traffic from the same IP, ...
If you are in a corporate environment, there's something else to know about curl on Windows. Although curl has many proxy options, curl is not able to auto detect proxies. In other words, if you run curl on Windows in a network environment that requires the use of a proxy to access the Internet, curl will not communicate with said proxy, unless it is configured explicitly to use a specific proxy (hostname, IP address, port, ...).
