Answer 1

Dear! cURL is a computer software project providing a library and command-line tool for transferring data using various protocols. The cURL project produces two products, libcurl and cURL.The name is a play on 'Client for URLs', originally with URL spelled in uppercase to make it obvious it deals with URLs. The fact it can also be pronounced 'see URL' also helped, it works as an abbreviation for "Client URL Request Library" or why not the recursive version: "Curl URL Request Library".Since curl uses libcurl, it supports a range of common Internet protocols, currently including HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, LDAP, DICT, TELNET and FILE. We pronounce curl and cURL with an initial k sound: [kurl].

SOAP is an XML-based messaging protocol. It defines a set of rules for structuring messages that can be used for simple one-way messaging but is particularly useful for performing RPC-style (Remote Procedure Call) request-response dialogues. It is not tied to any particular transport protocol though HTTP is popular. Nor is it tied to any particular operating system or programming language so theoretically the clients and servers in these dialogues can be running on any platform and written in any language as long as they can formulate and understand SOAP messages. As such it is an important building block for developing distributed applications that exploit functionality published as services over an intranet or the internet

in demand cleansing soap = Dove and Caress in demand shampoo's = Pantene comfortable and organic, Dove shampoo, considerable n' tail, optimal. All of those shampoo's scent quite large and help for greater healthy hair, the cleansing soap scent's awsome too.

Answer 3

curl is easy, it is a command line program to interact with http/ftp servers (also a few others)

if you run "curl http://www.google.com" it will spit out the source for google's main page.



SOAP on the other hand, not sure... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOAP something about xml and websockets? also smtp?
