curlscripts

Using curl to make requests.

Start the server

while true; do printf '\n' | nc -l localhost 8000; done

On the client

make; make curls

Note the following

1. If one does not specify -H "Content-Type:application/json", curl sends it in as -H "Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
2. If you have -H "Content-Type:application/json", there's no need to add -X POST
3. If you have -d, there's not need to add -X POST
4. Add -H "Content-Type:application/json" in a statement containing -d, if you want the server to receive your request as Content-Type:application/json
