What are some advanced options for curl and wget?

Both curl and wget are powerful command-line tools for transferring data. Curl is often used for API requests, while wget is great for downloading files. Would you like to know specific options for each?

Yes, please provide some advanced options for curl first.

Sure! Some advanced options for curl include:

1. -X to specify the request method (GET, POST, etc.).
2. -H to add custom headers.
3. --data to send data in a POST request.
4. -u for user authentication.
5. --limit-rate to limit the download speed.

Great! Now what about wget?

For wget, some advanced options are:

1. -r for recursive downloads.
2. -nc to skip files that already exist.
3. -P to specify a directory to save files.
4. --no-check-certificate to ignore SSL certificate checks.
5. -e to execute commands like setting the user agent.

Thanks! Can you give me an example of using curl with these options?
