curl has completely replaced URL Access in my lexicon. It requires
that you learn a bit about shell scripting and probably requires the
Developer Tools but you do mention command line tools.
In fact, it's part of the BSD package, which is a default, but not
required, install. You can find this out by searching the install
receipts something like this:
% find /Library/Receipts -name "*.bom" -print0 | xargs -0 grep -lw curl
/Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
/Library/Receipts/BSDSDK.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
/Library/Receipts/DevSDK.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom
Hmm, BSD.pkg is the most basic one...
% lsbom -s /Library/Receipts/BSD.pkg/Contents/Archive.bom | grep -w curl
./usr/bin/curl <-- aha!
./usr/bin/curl-config
./usr/share/man/man1/curl-config.1
./usr/share/man/man1/curl.1
Making this more intelligent and turning it into a (shell) script is
left as an exercise for the reader.
