[TYPO3-linux] curl on TYPO3 installations?

No you can't. It is a separately available PHP extension which is, for
example, not installed by default in Debian.

t3lib_div::getURL() is a perfect wrapper for downloading files. Or do you
plan to do some more advanced stuff that makes cUrl a requirement?
