+
+# Attribution
+
+This code is Adapted from [this Stack Exchange answer](https://superuser.com/questions/666167/how-do-i-use-firefox-cookies-with-wget)
+# Usage
+
+```
+# Fetch google with the cookies from the default profile
+curlfire http://www.google.com/
+
+# Fetch google with the cookies from the blah profile
+curlfire -P blah http://www.google.com/
+
+# Getting cookies
+cookiefire > /tmp/cookies
+curl -b /tmp/cookies http://www.google.com/
+```
+
+# Installation
+```
+cd ~
+git clone https://github.com/talwrii/curlfire
+echo 'PATH=$PATH:~/curlfire' >> ~/.bashrc
+```
+
+# Alternative and prior work
+
+* Adapted from [this stack overflow answer](https://superuser.com/questions/666167/how-do-i-use-firefox-cookies-with-wget)
+* Firebug and friends allow you to copy requests as curl. This can be suitable for debugging.
+* Cookies can be exported manually from within firefox
+
+All of these approaches can be problematic when automating tasks.
