[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/kablamo/HTTP-Request-AsCurl.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/kablamo/HTTP-Request-AsCurl) # NAME HTTP::Request::AsCurl - Generate a curl command from an HTTP::Request object. # SYNOPSIS use HTTP::Request::Common; use HTTP::Request::AsCurl qw/as_curl/; my $request = POST('api.earth.defense/weapon1', { target => 'mothership', when => 'now' }); system as_curl($request); print as_curl($request, pretty => 1, newline => "\n", shell => 'bourne'); # curl \ # --request POST api.earth.defense/weapon1 \ # --dump-header - \ # --data target=mothership \ # --data when=now # DESCRIPTION This module converts an HTTP::Request object to a curl command. It can be used for debugging REST APIs. It handles headers and basic authentication. # METHODS ## as\_curl($request, %params) Accepts an HTTP::Request object and converts it to a curl command. If there are no `%params`, `as_curl()` returns the cmd as an array suitable for being passed to system(). If there are `%params`, `as_curl()` returns a formatted string. The string's format defaults to using "\\n" for newlines and escaping the curl command using bourne shell rules unless you are on a win32 system in which case it defaults to using win32 cmd.exe escaping rules. Available params are as follows newline: defaults to "\n" shell: currently available options are 'bourne' and 'win32' # LICENSE Copyright (C) Eric Johnson.
