Build Service/Curl

From openSUSE

How to use curl for build service development

Note, the commandline client osc has a way to issue generic commands. So you may not need to resort to curl. See osc help req.

Curl is a command line tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS, TFTP, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE).

The command is designed to work without user interaction.

It can help testing the openSUSE build service API a lot while development.

Here are the most commonly used commands:

GET request

curl -u username:password -X GET http://some.host/any/path

PUT request

curl -u username:password -X PUT -T /path/to/file/to/put http://some.host/any/path

POST request

curl -u username:password -X POST -T /path/to/file/to/post http://some.host/any/path

DELETE request

curl -u username:password -X DELETE http://some.host/any/path
