Test network services
From WickyWiki
Curl allows you to simulate http requests so you can do webservice calls, get internet pages, post internet forms etc. It handles all the things that a client should handle like SSL encryption, authentication, discovery etc. There is a PHP wrapper that allows you to use it for your PHP webapplications. For now I added some information for the commandline utility that is great for testing,
Install curl
sudo apt-get install curl
Commandline
Some options:
curl
--request <httpcommand> http command, for example: GET, HEAD, POST, OPTIONS, PUT
--insecure allow invalid or self-signed certificate
--user <user>:<password> omit the password and you will be asked for it
--verbose
--url <url>
--data '<data>'
Example sending CalDAV request to SOGo Groupware server
Show capabilities:
curl --request OPTIONS --insecure --user wilbert --verbose --url https://wilbertvolkers.dyndns.org/SOGo/dav/wilbert/Calendar/personal
Add an event:
- id: event-1234,
- startdate: 2013-09-01
- starttime: 19:45
- title: 'Test New Event'
curl --basic --user 'wilbert' \
--request PUT --header 'Content-Type: text/calendar; charset="UTF-8"' \
--insecure --url 'https://wilbertvolkers.dyndns.org/SOGo/dav/wilbert/Calendar/personal/event-1234.ics' \
--data '
