Convert curl request into http request?

 

I am trying to convert the curl request below into an HTTP request for the postman tool. The postman tool might not really matter in this question. Please tell me how I can convert curl to http. 

curl -X POST -i 'https://a-webservice.com' -H X-apiKey:jamesBond007 -d MESSAGE-TYPE="pub.controller.user.created" -d PAYLOAD='a json object goes here!'

What I tried/learned: - Set headers content-type: json/application, X-apiKey

  • from curl docs, -d option means we need to set content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded

    • Postman lets me set the request body using ONLY 1 of the 4 options- form-data, x-www-form-urlencoded, raw, binary. Can you show how I can convert the two -d options of curl into these options ?

    I am confused how to put it all together.

    Thanks!

    The format of application/x-www-form-urlencoded data is just the same as a query string, so: 

    MESSAGE-TYPE=pub.controller.user.created&PAYLOAD=a json object goes here!

    To confirm that, you can dump the request data with curl itself, using the --trace-ascii option: 

    curl --trace-ascii - -X POST -i 'https://a-webservice.com' 
  -H X-apiKey:jamesBond007 -d MESSAGE-TYPE="pub.controller.user.created" 
  -d PAYLOAD='a json object goes here!'

    --trace-ascii takes a filename as an argument but if you give it - it will dump to stdout .

    The output for the above invocation will include something like this: 

    => Send header, 168 bytes (0xa8)
0000: POST / HTTP/1.1
0011: Host: example.com
0024: User-Agent: curl/7.51.0
003d: Accept: */*
004a: X-apiKey:jamesBond007
0061: Content-Length: 73
0075: Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
00a6:
=> Send data, 73 bytes (0x49)
0000: MESSAGE-TYPE=pub.controller.user.created&PAYLOAD=a json object g
0040: oes here!
== Info: upload completely sent off: 73 out of 73 bytes

    So the same as what's confirmed in the answer at Convert curl request into http request? that uses nc , but confirmed just using curl itself, with the --trace-ascii option.

    I don't know much about Postman. But I captured what's being sent in a file named /tmp/ncout . Based on this, we see that the Content-Type being sent is application/x-www-form-urlencoded , as you determined, and that the payload being sent is MESSAGE-TYPE=pub.controller.user.created&PAYLOAD=a json object goes here! .

    Does that help? 

    alewin@gobo ~ $ nc -l 8888 >/tmp/ncout 2>&1 </dev/null &

alewin@gobo ~ $ curl -X POST -i 'http://localhost:8888/' -H X-apiKey:jamesBond007 -d MESSAGE-TYPE="pub.controller.user.created" -d PAYLOAD='a json object goes here!'

    以下是如何使用python执行此urlencode的示例： 

    Python 2.7.6 (default, Oct 26 2016, 20:30:19)
[GCC 4.8.4] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
> data = {'MESSAGE-TYPE': "pub.controller.user.created", 'PAYLOAD': 'a json object goes here!'}
> from urllib import urlencode
> urlencode(data)
PAYLOAD=a+json+object+goes+here%21&MESSAGE-TYPE=pub.controller.user.created
