----
+I use this script with windows set up like this in code-server.
-
-**This is a very simple wrapper for curl that I use with VSCode (code-server) to make HTTP requests - like Postman but super simple.**
-
-VSCode is not required to run this script, I use it as a GUI.

 ## `params.txt`

+URL search parameters.
