CURL is a command-line tool to get or send data using URL syntax. If you are working as a developer or in the support function, you must be aware of cURL command usage to troubleshoot web applications. CURL is a cross-platform utility means you can use on Windows, MAC, and UNIX. Curl allows to add extra headers to HTTP requests. The HTTP headers are used to pass additional information between the client and the server. In this article i am showing the examples of how to add header in curl, how to add multiple headers and how to set authorization header from the Linux command line. Cool Tip: Set User-Agent in HTTP header using cURL!
- Curl Content Type Xml
- Curl Content Type Csv
- Curl Content Type Xml
- Curl Content Type Form Data
- Curl Send Body
- Curl Content-type
- Curl Content Type Binary
- As you can see UTF-8 is not in this list (utf-8 is supposed to be part of the content-type header). Could it be that you configured an incorrect content-encoding when you uploaded this file?
- Curl — data “” — header “Content-Type: text/xml” — request PROPFIND url.com For example, you can change the POST request to a PROPFIND and send the data as “Content-Type.

Dear all,
I am wondering how I can send 'say+This+is+a+test&Send' to a specified URL?
I retrieved the header file for this using Live Header plugin for Mozilla:
http://208.115.205.106:8075/ServerAdmin/current_console
POST /ServerAdmin/current_console HTTP/1.1
Host: 208.115.205.106:8075
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/21.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-gb,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Referer: http://208.115.205.106:8075/ServerAdmin/current_console_send
Authorization: Basic dm9sY29tX3JlbjpSQ2tmNjk2OQ
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 37
SendText=say+This+is+a+test&Send=Send
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: UnrealEngine UWeb Web Server Build 1047
Content-Type: text/html
Connection: Close
I am connecting to the admin page that requires authentication, like this:
void SendChat(const char * str)
{
Curl Content Type Xml
CURL *curl;
CURLcode res;
curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl)
Curl Content Type Csv
{
std::string response;
char data[128];
sprintf(data, '%s/ServerAdmin/current_console_send',
WebAdminURL);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, data);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, 'User-Agent:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:21.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/21.0');
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
sprintf(data, '%s:%s', WebAdminUserName, WebAdminPassword);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, data);
sprintf(data, 'UserName=%s&Password=%s', WebAdminUserName,
WebAdminPassword);
Curl Content Type Xml
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, data);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, 'cookie');
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, 'cookie');
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEFUNCTION,
write_to_string);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_WRITEDATA, &response);
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(CURLE_OK res)
{
char *ct;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CONTENT_TYPE,
&ct);
if((CURLE_OK res) && ct)
{
printf('We received Content-Type: %sn',
ct);
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
Curl Content Type Form Data
printf('n');
printf(response.c_str());
printf('n');
}
Curl Send Body
}
Curl Content-type
Would anyone be kind enough to post an updated function of the above, that
would allow me to pass the function param 'str' to the server page, where
the data I would like to send is 'SendText=say+This+is+a+test&Send=Send'?
I know it's cheeky to ask, but with a nice example I believe I'll be able to
make many more functions that I require.
Any help is appreciated.
