Maybe I lost some part of this discussion, but I wonder: Why would<br>
you need any kind of server or PHP on your desktop to work with a<br>
remote Drupal web site?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
because I want to add nodes from the command line at my desktop, for<br>
reasons not really relevant here (in short, it would integrate much,<br>
much better with my own, already existing document<br>
management/publishing/backup flow)...<br>
<br>
</blockquote>

I add nodes to my site via a php script executed in batch. The script creates a node object and calls node_save(). No curl needed. Do you control the remote Drupal system?<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

...but, when I asked info to write my own bash/curl script to do this,<br>
many members of this list simply answered saying "install this or that<br>
drupal module or php library on the server" :-)<br>
<br>

Well, that is how we modify Drupal you know. You create a module to do this or that.<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>

Are you talking about putting together a CLI web browser?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
No, just an http client, ie a shell script which sends to Drupal the<br>
same HTML code that a real browser would transmit when I add a node by<br>
hand, via keyboard and mouse. The web is full of scripts like this,<br>
but doing it to drupal seems much harder/undocumented than in other<br>
cases.<br>
<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
Undocumented because it is out of the norm. I suggest you create a php script for the server side that will create the node object and do the node_save(). Then create a curl script on the client side that will fill the post data for the server script.<br>
