download method requires curl present

Question

Some systems by default do not have curl installed.

May be another way you can do this is by using open-uri, open-uri is part of the standard lib so things should be a lot simpler.

require 'open-uri'
file = open(url).read
FileUtils.cp(src, dst)

Fair enough. On master, CloudCrowd now uses streaming Net::HTTP for downloading files. Here's the commit.
