# A simple curl wrapper written in bash that can be used to make HTTP requests to API endpoints.

![screenshot](https://href.vlw.se/0194ea19-faa6-77b5-8fe1-b1459a12ea84)

I use this script with windows set up like this in code-server.

# Files
This script uses separate files for various request options. Create these files in the same directory as `curl.sh`.

## `params.txt`
URL search parameters.

## `paylaod.json`
JSON request body that will be sent with all requests (except `GET`).

## `key.txt`
[HTTP Authentication Bearer Token](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Authentication)

## `disable_peer_validation`
Optional empty file that when present will disable SSL peer validation - for self-signed certificates etc.

# Make a request
Run the `curl.sh` file from your shell and pass it two parametes for URL and request method.

```sh
./curl.sh https://example.com GET
```

The response body will be printed to stdout.

*Example*
```
vlw@example:/curl$ ./curl.sh https://example.com GET
GET https://example.com?foo=bar

"This is an example response body in plaintext"
vlw@example:/curl$
```
