curl is a command-line tool, the role of a network request, and acquiring data showing the "standard output" (stdout) in the above. It supports multiple protocols, are listed below their usual function.
First, view the page source code
Directly after the curl command with the URL, you can see the page source. URL to www.sina.com for example (select the Web site, mainly because of its short page code).
$ curl www.sina.com
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx</center> </body> </html> If you want to survive this page, you can use -oparameters:
$ curl -o [文件名] www.sina.com
Second, automatically jump
Some URLs are automatically jump in. Use -Lparameters, curl will jump to the new URL.
$ curl -L www.sina.com
Type the above command, the result automatically jump to www.sina.com.cn .
Third, the display header information
-iParameters can display the header http response, along with the web page code. -IOnly the parameters of the display http response header information.
$ curl -i www.sina.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Server: nginx
Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:30:16 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Location: http://www.sina.com.cn/
Expires: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:32:16 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=120
Age: 102
Content-Length: 178
X-Cache: HIT from xd33-83.sina.com.cn
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head> <body bgcolor="white"> <center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center> <hr><center>nginx</center> </body> </html> Fourth, the display communication process
-v Parameter may be displayed to the entire process http communication, comprising port and http request header information.
$ curl -v www.sina.com
* Rebuilt URL to: www.sina.com/
* Hostname was NOT found in DNS cache
* Trying 202.108.33.60...
* Connected to www.sina.com (202.108.33.60) port 80 (#0)
> GET / HTTP/1.1
> User-Agent: curl/7.35.0
> Host: www.sina.com
> Accept: */*
>
< HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
* Server nginx is not blacklisted
< Server: nginx
< Date: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:48:14 GMT
< Content-Type: text/html
< Location: http://www.sina.com.cn/
< Expires: Tue, 23 Aug 2016 08:50:14 GMT
< Cache-Control: max-age=120

< X-Cache: HIT from xd33-81.sina.com.cn
<
<html>
<head><title>301 Moved Permanently</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>301 Moved Permanently</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>
* Connection #0 to host www.sina.com left intact
If you think the above information is not enough, then the following command to view more detailed communication process.
$ curl --trace output.txt www.sina.com
or
$ curl --trace-ascii output.txt www.sina.com
After running, open output.txt file viewing.
Fifth, sending form information
Send form Offers GET and POST methods. GET method is relatively simple, as long as the data is appended to the URL line.
$ curl example.com/form.cgi?data=xxx
POST method must separate the data and URL, curl necessary to use --dataor -dparameter.
$ curl -X POST --data "data=xxx" example.com/form.cgi
If your data has not been encoded form, but also allows you to curl encoding parameters --data-urlencode.
$ curl -X POST--data-urlencode "date=April 1" example.com/form.cgi
Six, HTTP verb
curl default HTTP verb is GET, using -Xparameters may support other verbs.
$ curl -X POST www.example.com
$ curl -X DELETE www.example.com
Seven, User Agent field
This field is used to indicate the device information of the client. Sometimes the server according to this field, for different devices, return to the page in different formats, such as mobile phones and desktop versions.
Browser User Agent is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.84 Safari/537.36
curl can simulate this:
$ curl --user-agent "[User Agent]" [URL]
Eight, cookie
Use --cookieparameters help the curl send cookie.
$ curl --cookie "name=xxx" www.example.com
As for the specific value of the cookie, http response from the header information Set-Cookieobtained in the field.
Nine, increase the header information
Sometimes necessary in the http request, add a header itself. --headerParameters can play this role.
$ curl --header "Content-Type:application/json" http://example.com
Ten, HTTP Authentication
Some domain HTTP authentication is required, then the need to use curl --useror -uparameters.
$ curl --user name:password example.com
Complete parameter appendix curl command
$ curl --help
