Like curl
, but does way less. Runs anywhere Node.js does.
Usage: uncurl [options...] <url>
Options:
-i, --include Include protocol headers in the output [boolean]
-X, --request Specify request command to use [string] [default: "GET"]
-d, --data HTTP POST data [string]
--data-ascii HTTP POST ASCII data [string]
--data-binary HTTP POST binary data [string]
--data-json HTTP POST JSON data [string]
NOTE: for the long parameters, if you want to read from standard input,
you'll need to invoke the option like so: --data-binary=-
.
--data
(and --data-ascii
) works much like curl
– a prefix of @
indicates that the relevant data should be streamed from the file path after
the splat, and passing -
as the parameter to --data
will read from standard
input until EOF. Data will be sent as Content-Type
application/x-www-form-urlencoded
.
--data-binary
works a little differently from the curl
option of the same
name. It doesn't URL encode the data, but it does set the Content-Type to
application/octet-stream
, and sends the data with a binary encoding. It also
allows the use of @
to read files and -
for standard input.
--data-json
is an option unique to uncurl
. If the data isn't streaming
(that is, coming from a file or standard input), uncurl
will verify that it's
valid JSON before sending it to the server. It will also set the Content-Type
to application/json
and the encoding to UTF-8. It also allows the use of @
to read files and -
for standard input.
