There was also some discussion on by the octave developers about  
cURL, but it looks like it is not quite yet in 2.9.9.  In the latest  
development CVS archive:
   http://velveeta.che.wisc.edu/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/
under:
     octave/src/DLD-FUNCTIONS
you will find:
     urlwrite.cc
which uses cURL.  It looks like it was added to the current  
development sources in Oct 2006.  However, these sources are  
considered buggy and not for typical use (read:

    ftp://ftp.octave.org/pub/octave//bleeding-edge/README

for more information).  Between the wiki page mentioned and the  
discussion I ran across on the maintainers site, I thought that the  
functionality was already in octave.  Looks like it will be in a  
future development release.
