Fun with HTTP

January 9, 2014

Playing around with cURL and learning about some handy online tools…

requestbin

 

 

Visit requestb.in and you’ve instantly got a link against which you can post data and see the results.

When posting a text file with curl, I usually remember the -H “Content-type: text/plain”, but I try -d @filename.txt and get frustrated before I rediscover –data-binary @filename.txt.

CLBIN

clbin.com is a nifty tool for directing command line output straight to a short url.
