sending HTTP POST using curl command

Recently I was having fun with libcurl, discovered that with curl command I capable of doing HTTP POST with specified User-agent string. For those who have no idea what is curl, curl is a powerful client tool for accessing servers through FTP, FTPS, HTTP, HTTPS, SCP, SFTP, TFTP, TELNET, DICT, FILE and LDAP, please find more info from cURL official site.
Mypapit has written a good post illustrate how to create a simple bot script using php with curl bindings. By calling curl function in php, you can do a HTTP POST to a web server’s page. Well, with curl command in bash, you can do the same, and it consist of just one line.
Mypapit is kind enough to provide his HTTP POST server’s script in php for testing purpose. Download his sample codes and load it to your apache server and you can try out the command lines shows later. What you need is target.php and target.txt, remember to chmod a+w target.txt.
To send HTTP POST request, you can do it with -F, I show you a simple example that sending username to the web server.
curl -F 'username=mysurface' http://127.0.0.1/target.phpAnd result returns
data was submitted successfullyCheck out the target.txt, gives the line
username : mysurface (curl/7.15.5 (i486-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.15.5 OpenSSL/0.9.8c zlib/1.2.3 libidn/0.6.5)
p.s mypapit’s target.php logs submitted username and it’s user-agent into file target.txt. The result showing above indicates that the submission was done by curl.
Well, you can override the default user-agent string by -A
curl -F 'username=mysurface' -A 'Mozilla/4.0' http://127.0.0.1/target.phpTherefore you have this in your target.txt
username : mysurface (Mozilla/4.0)Having fun? curl command capable of doing a lots more!

yeah -d is a better option if you’re have more than one “key=value” pair. My url had 3. Great Article thanks!

If you want to send an XML in your request:
curl –header ‘content-type: text/xml’ –data @request.xml -X POST http://127.0.0.1
If you want to use HTTPS (ignoring invalid certificates):
curl -k –header ‘content-type: text/xml’ –data @request.xml -X POST https://127.0.0.1

Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if
you get a lot of spam comments? If so how do you stop it, any plugin
or anything you can advise? I get so much lately it’s driving me insane so any help is very much appreciated.
