Wcurl Is Here - Hackdot

Was fully expecting wcurl to be an alternative name for curl on Windows, because Microsoft made "curl" an alias for their own http downloader command in Powershell.

`curl.exe` is actually the real deal curl, now. Though it's got less built options than a standard Linux distro version. I don't know if they still alias it in PowerShell, but you can still use curl.exe to get it.

I was thinking "web curl", like, an alternative to fetch() or XMLHttpRequest that exposed even more stuff.
