I'm writing a 'little' java app and need to retrieve the content of websites. As far as I understand, libcurl is basically the tool to use for this type of work.
Found a java binding (whatever that might be
) for libcurl on
http://www.gknw.net/viewvc/trunk/?root=curl-java and downloaded/extracted the tarball.
And now I'm at a total loss how to continue.
I'm trying to import the 'library' in my java code (
import net.saxx.curl.*) but netbeans complains that it can't find it. Tried adding different paths (possibly the wrong ones; e.g. F:\documents\_Downloads\java_stuff\curl-java-trunk\trunk) in netbeans but it still can't find it.
Code:
F:\documents\_Downloads\java_stuff>tree
Folder PATH listing for volume Data
Volume serial number is 0006EFC4 10D8:EA40
F:.
├───curl-java-trunk
│ └───trunk
│ └───net
│ └───haxx
│ └───curl
├───INIFileSrc
├───Java
└───javacsv
Although there are makefiles in the downloaded tarball, the README does not mention the use of them.
Not very familiar with the environment around java and I think that that is my problem.
Any advice is highly appreciated.
This is, by the way, on a Windows XP machine.
