#The operating environment of this tutorial: linux7.3 system, Dell G3 computer.

In Linux, curl is a file transfer tool that uses URL rules to work under the command line. It can be said to be a very powerful http command line tool. It supports the uploading and downloading of files and is a comprehensive transmission tool. However, according to tradition, it is customary to call URL a download tool.

curl is a very practical tool for transmitting data to and from servers; supported protocols include (DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS , POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET and TFTP), curl is designed to complete the work without user interaction; curl provides a lot of very useful functions, including proxy access, user authentication, FTP upload and download, HTTP POST, SSL connection, cookie support, breakpoint resume...

1. The most commonly used curl command

1. Send a GET request

curl URL

curl URL?a=1&b=nihao

2. Send POST request

curl -X POST -d 'a=1&b=nihao' URL

3. Send json format request:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"abc":123,"bcd":"nihao"}' URL

curl -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d @test.json URL

Among them, -H represents the header, -X specifies what type of request (POST/GET/HEAD/DELETE/PUT/PATCH), and -d represents What data is transmitted. These are the most commonly used.

View all curl commands: man curl or curl -h

4. Common usage

##1. Download (option:-o or option:-O)

1.1. Download page:

curl -o dodo1.jpg http:www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

#Please note that the url behind -O must be specific to a certain file, otherwise it will be captured Not downloading
curl -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

1.2: Loop download

Sometimes the names of the previous parts of the downloaded pictures may be the same. The last tail vertebra has a different name. This will save all dodo1, dodo2, dodo3, dodo4, and dodo5
curl -O http://www.linux.com/dodo[1-5].JPG

1.3: Download heavy Naming

The file in hello/dodo1.JPG will become hello_dodo1.JPG after downloading, and so on for other files, thus effectively avoiding file overwriting
curl -o #1_#2.JPG http: //www.linux.com/{hello,bb}/dodo[1-5].JPG

Because the file names in the downloaded hello and bb are all dodo1, dodo2, dodo3, dodo4, dodo5. Therefore, the second download will overwrite the first download, so the file needs to be renamed.

curl -O http://www.linux.com/{hello,bb}/dodo[1-5].JPG

1.4: Download in chunks (option: -r)

curl -r 0-100 -o dodo1_part1.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
curl -r 100-200 -o dodo1_part2.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1. JPG
curl -r 200- -o dodo1_part3.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
cat dodo1_part* > dodo1.JPG #This way you can view the contents of dodo1.JPG

1.5: Download files through ftp (option: -u)

curl can download files through ftp, curl provides two syntaxes for downloading from ftp
curl -O -u Username: Password ftp ://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
curl -O ftp://username:password@www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

1.6: Download, display progress bar ( option: -#) or do not display the progress bar (option: -s)

curl -# -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
curl -s -O http://www .linux.com/dodo1.JPG

1.7. Download, resume at breakpoint (-C ab76cfca1a1dc7ff1291dcdf873f72ec)

Resume at breakpoint and continue downloading/uploading from the specified position in the file header; offset is the starting position of resume transmission. If the offset value is "-", curl will automatically identify the starting position from the file and start transmission;
curl -# -o centos6.8.iso -C - http://mirrors. aliyun.com/centos/6.8/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.8-x86_64-minimal.iso
curl -C -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

2. Upload file (option: -T)

curl -T dodo1.JPG -u Username: Password ftp://www.linux.com/img/

3. Forged source page | fake referer | hot link (option: -e)

Many servers will check the referer for http access so that to control access. For example: you visit the homepage first, and then access the email page on the homepage. The referer address of the email address here is the page address after successfully accessing the homepage. If the server finds that the referer address of the email page is not the address of the homepage, it will determine that. It's a stolen connection

#This will make the server think that you clicked a link from www.linux.com
curl -e "www.linux.com" http://mail.linux. com
#Tell Aiezu that I am from Baidu
curl -e http://baidu.com http://aiezu.com

4、 Fake proxy device (imitation browser)

Some websites require the use of specific browsers to access them, and some also require the use of certain specific versions. Curl's built-in option: -A allows us to specify the browser to access the website

curl -A "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.0)" http://www.linux.com
#Tell I love the E family, I am a GOOGLE crawler spider (actually I am the curl command)
curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; http://www.google.com/bot.html)" http: //aiezu.com
#Tell Aiezu that I use WeChat’s built-in browser
curl -A "Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/600 Mobile MicroMessenger/6.0" http://aiezu.com

5. Set http request

5.1. Set http request header (or option:-H or option:--head)

curl -H "Cache-Control:no-cache" http://aiezu.com

5.2. Specify the proxy server and its port (option::-x)

#It is often needed to access the Internet. To the proxy server (for example, when you use a proxy server to access the Internet or your IP address is blocked by others because you use curl on other people's websites), fortunately curl supports setting the proxy by using the built-in option: -x
curl -x 192.168.100.100 :1080 http://www.linux.com

6, http response header

6.1. View the http response header (option:-I)
# See what the http header of this site looks like
curl -I http://aiezu.com
Output:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 25 Nov 2016 16:45:49 GMT
Server: Apache
Set-Cookie: rox__Session=abdrt8vesprhnpc3f63p1df7j4; path=/
Expires: Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT
Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0
Pragma: no-cache
Vary : Accept-Encoding
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

6.2. Save the header information in the http response (option:-D)
curl -D cookied. txt http://www.linux.com
After execution, the cookie information is saved in cookied.txt
Note: The cookies generated by -c (lowercase) are different from the cookies in -D.

7. Send form data

curl -F "pic=@logo.png" -F "site=aiezu" http:/ /aiezu.com/

8、cookie

8.1、Send cookie(option:-b)
#Some websites use Cookie to record session information. For browsers like chrome, cookie information can be easily processed, but cookies can also be easily processed by adding relevant parameters in curl
curl -b "domain=aiezu.com" http://aiezu.com
#Many websites monitor your cookie information to determine whether you are visiting their website according to the rules, so we need to use the saved cookie information. Built-in option: -b
curl -b cookiec.txt http://www.linux.com

8.2. Save the cookie information in the http response (option:-c)
After executing http The cookie information in the response is saved in cookiec.txt
curl -c cookiec.txt http://www.linux.com

9. Test a URL

9.1. Test whether a URL is reachable
curl -v http://www.linux.com

9.2. Test the return value of the web page (option: -w [format])
curl -o /dev/null -s -w %{http_code} www.linux.com

10. Save the visited web page (> >)

2.1: Save using the redirection function of linux
curl http://www.linux.com >> linux.html

11. Request method

curl -i -v -H '' -X POST -d '' http:www.test.com/a/b
Among them, -X POST -d, -X GET -d, -X PUT -d are equivalent to -F, -G -d, -P respectively

Take post request as an example:
11.1 , -X POST -d
(11.1.1), POST application/x-www-form-urlencoded
application/x-www-form-urlencoded is the default
curl -X POST -d "param1 =value1¶m2=value2" http://localhost:3000/data
Equivalent to
curl -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -X POST -d "param1=value1¶m2 =value2" http://localhost:3000/data
Using data files
curl -X POST -d "@data.txt" http://localhost:3000/data
where data.txt content As follows: param1=value1¶m2=value2

(11.1.2), POST application/json
curl -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X POST -d '{"key1":" value1","key2":"value2"}' http://localhost:3000/data
If using data files:
curl -X POST -d "@data.json" http://localhost: 3000/data
The content of data.json is as follows: {"key1":"value1","key2":"value2"}
Another example:
curl -H "Content-type:application /json" -X POST -d "{\"app_key\":\"$appKey\",\"time_stamp\":\"$time\"}" http://www.test.com.cn/a /b

11.2、-F
curl -v -H "token: 222" -F "file=@/Users/funglio/Downloads/401.png" localhost:8000/api/v1/upimg

curl -f http://www.linux.com/error

11.3, other examples

(11.3.1),

curl -X POST "http://www.test.com/e/f" -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8" \
-d "a=b" \
-d "c=d" \
-d "e=f" \
-d "g=h"

(11.3.2), error: curl -i -G -d "a=b#1&c=d" http://www.test.com/e/f
Correct: Use urlencode to convert parameter values that are special symbols
curl -i -G -d "a=b#1&c=d" http://www.test.com/e/f

12. Debugging

curl -v可以显示一次http通信的整个过程，包括端口连接和http request头信息。
如果觉得还不够，那么下面的命令可以查看更详细的通信过程：
curl --trace output.txt www.baidu.com 或者 curl --trace-ascii output.txt www.baidu.com
运行后，请打开output.txt文件查看。
curl --trace output.txt http://www.baidu.com
curl --trace-ascii output2.txt http://www.baidu.com
curl --trace output3.txt --trace-time http://www.baidu.com
curl --trace-ascii output4.txt --trace-time http://www.baidu.com

举例:有需求每5分钟请求一次http://www.test.com/a/b生成一个日志文件。希望一月的日志(正确的和错误的)能写入一个日志文件
day=`date +%F`
logfile='/var/logs/www.test.com_'`date +%Y%m`'.log'
/usr/bin/echo -e "\n\n[${day}] Start request \n " >> ${logfile}
/bin/curl -v "http://www.test.com/a/b" -d "ccccc" 1>> ${logfile} 2>> ${logfile} --trace-time
/usr/bin/echo -e "\n\n[${day}] End request\n" >> ${logfile}
