[development] Back to Curl-based content generation

[Daniel F. Kudwien]

Executing arbitrary stuff in Drupal via cURL?

Simple.  As in "SimpleTest".

The entire testing suite is based on cURL.  I recommend having a look at
http://drupal.org/project/simpletest, resp. /modules/simpletest in CVS HEAD
of Drupal core.

To get a feeling of how to use it properly, I recommend writing some tests
for D7.  That way, you'll learn how to properly use the testing framework,
and thus, how to use cURL for doing arbitrary stuff.  We even have some
issues prepared for you:
