I would like to download a script from a vanilla MSYS environment.
On Linux, I would do
wget <url>
On Mac OS X, I would do
curl -O <url>
Unfortunately, neither of these alternatives appear to be available in a default installation of MSYS. I have also tried using the LPW::Simple module in Perl, but that also seems to not come installed by default.
Are there any tools that come with a default MSYS environment that can be used to accomplish this?
I could always tell the end-user to download the file themselves, but that defeats the goal of having everything "just work" with a minimal need for installing additional software.
