0:00 Intro: curl as an HTTP client 0:40 HTTP GET Requests (with and without -X) 2:03 HTTP POST with inline body 3:08 Set custom Headers with -H 4:20 Read body from file (on POST and other requests with bodies) 6:37 curl verbose mode 7:48 Print nothing but the HTTP status code with -w and -o 9:20 Basic auth with the -u option 10:28 Set the basic auth header manually 11:32 Inspect headers with -I 12:10 Follow redirects 14:20 Accept invalid HTTPS certificates Note: At 4:05 I’m happy about the fact that we have a non-zero exit code. By default curl will not fail if the HTTP status is >299 as Long as the request was successful. To make curl on non-200 status codes you need to provide the -fail option.

Crisp and clear explanation. I Loved the entire playlist. The way you were progressively adding new concepts one upon the other was amazing. Thank you so much for this series of videos! Also, if you are looking for an idea for your next videos. You can teach how to rock the vim + terminal like you do, I saw magic while you were explaining.

An awesome video as always. Thanks for the effort. Keep them coming!

@brucelamb6060 2 жыл бұрын

Great video! Thank you for demonstrating. Would you be able to make a full dummies tutorial just on cURL (maybe PHP, javascript, or additional tools if necessary)? Particularly submitting post request and managing the cookies associated with them? I'm struggling submitting forms (even some login forms on some sites, like my propstream acct). It would be awesome to learn from you.

you are a superman. I like the Vim editor you are using. Do you install it with Yum?

@C22_ 3 жыл бұрын

How did you open vim during the middle of a command and have the stdin appear inside vim? Or is this just editing?

@kubucation 3 жыл бұрын

No editing involved. Make sure EDITOR= points to vim, then press Ctrl-X Ctrl-E to edit the line in vim. The behavior is slightly different between zsh and bash. After :wq zsh will have the command line filled, but not executed. On bash doing :wq will also execute the command directly.

First of all its a very useful video. Could you also show how to use curl to download file from any website?

@kubucation 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks. To download a file you either need to redirect the output into a file or specify an output file with -o. So you either do "curl -o foo.jpg somehost.com/foo.jpg" or you do "curl somehost.com/foo.jpg > foo.jpg". Both will download into a local file foo.jpg.

How can I save the output from the POST request? So for example I had to make a POST request with credentials and I get back a token. I want to store that token as I need it to make other API requests? Is there a way to store it in a variable?

@soufianta8374 3 жыл бұрын

Hi. So instead of using high level languages with a bunch of libraries we can use simple and archaic shell scripts or Linux tools? Ok. Can I assume that Linux shell is underrated and is Linux shell the way to go to learn to code for a sys admin? Thanks

@kubucation 3 жыл бұрын

Shell vs high-level language isn't the topic of this video. "The only" in the title refers to the omni-present cURL vs. other CLI http tools. Knowing cURL well (or at least it's basics) is an incredibly useful skill for anyone that works with http (and other) APIs. Whether you develop them, interact with them, debug them, etc. I'm not advocating for writing your entire web app client with bash. What I'm saying is that being able to quickly fire off an http request from the terminal is a very valuable skill that can a lot of time.

Linux is mostly underrated by people who only use Windows. Linux and Mac offer a similar Unix-based terminal command line interface.
