Announcing the Curl Cookbook

I and my team at Browserling just created the Curl Cookbook. It contains over a dozen organic, nutritious, and completely irresistible recipes for quickly getting the everyday curl tasks done.

Here are all the recipes in the Curl Cookbook:

• Make a POST Request (TLDR: Use -X POST argument)
• Add POST Data to a Request (TLDR: Use -d var=val argument)
• Construct a Query String (TLDR: Use -G argument)
• Add HTTP Headers (TLDR: Use -H 'Header: Value' argument)
• Change the User Agent (TLDR: Use -A 'User Agent' argument)
• Set Cookies (TLDR: Use -b name=value argument)
• Add a Referrer (TLDR: Use -e URL argument)
• Follow a 3XX Redirect (TLDR: Use -L argument)
• Use the Basic HTTP Authentication (TLDR: Use -u user:pass argument)
• Print the Response Headers (TLDR: Use -i argument)
• Use a Proxy (TLDR: Use -x protocol://host:port argument)
• Ignore the SSL Certificate (TLDR: Use -k argument)
• Make Curl Silent (TLDR: Use -s argument)
• Save the Response to a File (TLDR: Use -o file argument)
• Make Curl Slow (TLDR: Use --limit-rate 8k (8KB/sec) argument)
• Debug Curl Requests (TLDR: Use -v or --trace arguments)
• Make a GET Request (TLDR: No arguments required, it's the default)

I'll be adding more recipes to Curl's Cookbook and will also create several more cookbooks for other technologies that I often use, such as dtrace, netcat, dig, wget, iptables, and lsof.

See you all then!
