About cURL Commands
What is cURL? cURL is a command-line tool for making HTTP requests. It's widely used for testing APIs, debugging web services, and automating HTTP interactions.
Automatic Escaping: This tool automatically escapes special characters in your headers, body, and other parameters to ensure your cURL command works correctly in the shell.
Line Breaks: Long commands are formatted with backslashes (\) for better readability. These allow you to split the command across multiple lines in your terminal.
Common Options: The tool supports the most commonly used cURL options including custom headers (-H), request methods (-X), authentication (-u), request data (-d), and various flags like -L (follow redirects), -v (verbose), and -k (insecure).
