Curl query string
Curl is a command-line tool for transferring data between a local computer and a remote server
Curl is a command-line tool for transferring data between a local computer and a remote server.
When using curl you can download or upload data using protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, SCP , SFTP and FTP .
The Curl command is pre-installed on most Linux distributions. To check if your Linux distribution has Curl installed, press the shortcut key CTRL+ALT+T
to open Terminal, type curl
and press Enter.
If curl is installed, the system will print curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
.
Install Curl
Otherwise, the terminal prints the message curl command not found. If you don't have Curl installed, you can install it using your distribution's package manager.
If your computer is running a Debian-based Linux distribution such as Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. Please run sudo apt install curl
to install Curl.
If your computer is running a Redhat-based Linux distribution, such as CentOS, Fedora, etc. Please run sudo yum install curl
to install Curl.
sudo yum install curl
sudo apt install curl
Set URL query string
Another way to make a POST request is to use the -d
option of the Curl command. The Curl command encodes data using application/x-www-form-urlencoded
when the -d
option is used.
It also specifies a content type of application/x-www-form-urlencoded
. Requests sent in this way are sending data using query strings.
If you need to send a large amount of data, you don't have to use the -d
option multiple times, you can use the &
symbol to combine the data, such as website=myfreax&email=myfreax@example.com.
curl -X POST -d 'name=myfreax' -d 'email=myfreax@example.com' https://example.com/contact.php
curl -X POST -d 'name=myfreax&email=myfreax@example.com' https://example.com/contact.php
