wget is fine for downloading stuff, but I'm not sure how common its use for IoT is. curl has two distinct advantages:

- a library which can be linked to the application, i.e. one doesn't need to do the expensive fork()/exec[v[p[e]]]() dance and

- documentation: most cloud services offer examples using curl for their API. It takes some additional mental work to translate those into wget syntax.
