curl命令是一个利用URL规则在命令行下工作的文件传输工具。它支持文件的上传和下载。curl支持包括HTTP、HTTPS、ftp等众多协议,还支持POST、cookies、认证、从指定偏移处下载部分文件、用户代理字符串、限速、文件大小、进度条等特征。
官方是这么介绍的:
DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, Gopher, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, Telnet and TFTP. curl supports SSL certificates, HTTP POST, HTTP PUT, FTP uploading, HTTP form based upload, proxies, HTTP/2, cookies, user+password authentication (Basic, Plain, Digest, CRAM-MD5, NTLM, Negotiate and Kerberos), file transfer resume, proxy tunneling and more.
在进行web后台程序开发测试过程中,常常会需要发送url进行测试,使用curl可以方便地模拟出符合需求的url命令.
