+  3.15 Can I do recursive fetches with curl?
+
+  No. curl itself has no code that performs recursive operations, such as
+  those performed by wget.
+
+  There exist wrapper scripts with that functionality (for example the
+  curlmirror perl script), and you can write programs based on libcurl to do
+  it, but the command line tool curl itself cannot.
