Curl wrapper in Bash

Simple curl wrapper which allows setting most commonly used option while not preventing the user to append his own ones. Provides a nice output with timings or colored JSON (when commands are prefixed by J)

Can be used to GET content but also to manipulate JSON queries, with JPOST, JGET, JDELETE, JPUT, JUP/JUPLOAD (for upload)

GET https://www.bedis9.net/

Response headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx/1.11.3

installation

Simply download GET bash script and run:

chmod +x GET
./GET --install

This step will install GET in your $HOME/bin directory and also create the relevent symlinks.

Usage

Usually, this script is used during demos or for troubleshooting web applications and APIs.

Simple GET commands

This is the very first usage of this script:

GET https://www.bedis9.net/

Using with REST/JSON API

JGET

Simply call JGET with the relevent URL. The JSON content will be saved locally to the file out.json (that you can modify and re-use with orther J* commands)

JGET --header "X-Consul-Token: mastertoken" http://dashboard.consulconnect.haproxy.local/v1/catalog/service/consul

Response headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
Vary: Accept-Encoding
X-Consul-Effective-Consistency: leader
X-Consul-Index: 12
X-Consul-Knownleader: true
X-Consul-Lastcontact: 0

Content-Length: 464

JSON content:
[
  {
    "ID": "ea9053c6-2458-d79f-8b0a-a39a188f774d",
    "Node": "server",
    "Address": "10.55.42.2",
    "Datacenter": "dc1",
    "TaggedAddresses": null,
    "NodeMeta": null,
    "ServiceKind": "",
    "ServiceID": "consul",
    "ServiceName": "consul",
    "ServiceTags": [],
    "ServiceAddress": "",
    "ServiceWeights": {

    },
    "ServiceMeta": {},
    "ServicePort": 8300,
    "ServiceEnableTagOverride": false,
    "ServiceProxyDestination": "",
    "ServiceConnect": {
      "Native": false,
      "Proxy": null
    },
    "CreateIndex": 12,
    "ModifyIndex": 12
  }
]

JPUT

This command executes a PUT on a JSON/REST API endpoint. It takes the JSON content from the file in.json in your current $PATH.

cat <<EOF >in.json
{
  "ID": "www1",
  "Name": "publicservices",
  "tags": ["www", "api"],
  "Address": "10.0.0.1",
  "Port": 80,
  "check": {
    "http": "10.0.0.1:80",
    "interval": "10s",
    "timeout": "1s"
   }
}
EOF
JPUT http://consul-server.docker/v1/agent/service/register

JDELETE

This command execute a DELETE on a JSON/REST API endpoint. It expects JSON in return, so it may sometime return an error if the server returns plain text...

JDELETE --header "X-Consul-Token: mastertoken" http://dashboard.consulconnect.haproxy.local/v1/catalog/service/consul

Response headers:
HTTP/1.1 405 Method Not Allowed
Allow: OPTIONS,GET
Vary: Accept-Encoding
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2018 12:03:50 GMT
Content-Length: 25
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

JSON content:
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 7
parse error: Invalid numeric literal at line 1, column 7

JPOST

This command execute a POST on a JSON/REST API endpoint. It takes the JSON content from the file in.json in your current $PATH.

TODO

Pending devs:

  • support more HTTP methods (instead of GET -X DELETE ..., run DELETE ....)
  • add a --force-install option to force copy of the script itself and creation of symlinks
