A collection of ISO C binding interfaces to libcurl for Fortran 2008. Compilation has been tested with GNU Fortran 12 and cURL 8.0.1. The library is also available on MacPorts.

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=ifort

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/:

• dict queries a DICT server on TCP port 2628.
• download fetches a remote file.
• getinfo prints request-related information to console.
• 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).
• post makes an HTTP POST request.
• smtp sends an e-mail via SMTP (SSL).
• version outputs cURL version information.

Build an example with:

$ make <name>

This projects supports the Fortran Package Manager (fpm). To build the project with fpm, run:

$ fpm build --profile=release

The example applications are available with the fpm run --example command.

You can use fortran-curl in your fpm projects with:

[dependencies]
fortran-curl = { git = "https://github.com/interkosmos/fortran-curl.git" }
