Well, it depends upon what you mean by "HP supported". If you mean can you call HP and ask for help then no; if you mean are there versions of these tools that have been ported to HP-UX then yes.

http://gatekeep.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Networking/WWW/curl-7.12.2/

Always check the HP-UX Porting Centre's first when searching for tools.

I know that there are ports -- looking for that ever critical audit fulfilling "support".

Thanks.

The only thing I can think of is that if wget is included in another package, that might count:

Maybe some third-party company might provide such support, perhaps on request for a special fee?

I've had some fun with the wget above.

It works differently than Linux wget so my Linux scripts did not work. I had to read the man page and start over. Example, the script merijn have me to copy his archives failed to copy anything.

That aside, wget does a nice job copying websites to keep mirrors up to date. The best part I like is that once the site is copied on the next run only updated files are copied, saving a lot on band width.

Cheryl's response looks promissing, but not perfect...taken from the Internet Express software's web page:

A collection of HP-UX Internet Express Open Source Web, Internet, and security components. These components are listed in Â HP-UX Internet Express Components Shipped on the HP-UX Internet Express MediaÂ and are referred to as non-OE Open Source components. All non-OE Open Source components are not covered under HP-UX support contracts.

From a glimpse of madness I remembered there's a http-client written in ksh93 available at http://www.shelldorado.com.
ksh is supported - so if that thing does what You need, let them audit it, use it and don't point at me :)
