[Javascript] Content Retrieval

[Tim Makins]

I am hosted with http://www.ipowerweb.com on a Linux machine, with
Perl5.8.1, PHP4.3.4 and MySQL4.0.20 (very good company, by the way - I am
100% happy with their service)

Please can you explain further about 'curl'. Do you have an example I could
see, please ?

Tim in Ireland.
