cop is an HTTP client agnostic file downloader. Given a URL, cop searches for well-known clients installed on your system and selects the first one it finds.
cop emits file contents to STDOUT by default. This makes it great for troubleshooting small, text file URLs. Pipe or redirect the output as needed. Example:
$ cop https://jsonip.com/ | jq .
Using wget...
{
"ip": "123.123.123.123"
}
