Detailed explanation of Linux commands -- curl

Keywords: Linux curl network

Command: curl

In Linux, curl is a file transfer tool that uses URL rules to work on the command line. It can be said that curl is a very powerful http command line tool. It supports file upload and download. It is a comprehensive transmission tool, but traditionally, it is used to call URL a download tool.

Syntax:# curl [option] [url]

Common parameters:

-A/--user-agent <string>              Set user agent to send to server
-b/--cookie <name=string/file>    cookie String or file read location
-c/--cookie-jar <file>                    After the operation cookie Write to this file
-C/--continue-at <offset>            Breakpoint continuation
-D/--dump-header <file>              hold header Information is written to the file
-e/--referer                                  Source URL
-f/--fail                                          Do not display when connection fails http error
-o/--output                                  Write the output to this file
-O/--remote-name                      Write the output to the file and keep the file name of the remote file
-r/--range <range>                      Retrieve from HTTP/1.1 or FTP Server byte range
-s/--silent                                    Mute mode. Don't output anything
-T/--upload-file <file>                  Upload file
-u/--user <user[:password]>      Set the user and password of the server
-w/--write-out [format]                After what output is completed
-x/--proxy <host[:port]>              Use on a given port HTTP agent
-#/--The progress bar displays the current transfer status

example:

1. Basic usage

# curl http://www.linux.com

After execution, the html of www.linux.com will be displayed on the screen
Ps: because there is no desktop when installing linux, which means there is no browser, this method is often used to test whether a server can reach a website

2. Save visited web pages

2.1: save using the redirection function of linux

# curl http://www.linux.com >> linux.html

2.2: you can use curl's built-in option: - O (lowercase) to save web pages

$ curl -o linux.html http://www.linux.com

After execution, the following interface will be displayed. If 100% is displayed, it means that the save is successful

% Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed  Time    Time    Time  Current
                                Dload  Upload  Total  Spent    Left  Speed
100 79684    0 79684    0    0  3437k      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 7781k

2.3: you can use curl's built-in option: - O (uppercase) to save files in web pages
Note that the url behind here should be specific to a file, otherwise you can't catch it

# curl -O http://www.linux.com/hello.sh

3. Test web page return value

# curl -o /dev/null -s -w %{http_code} www.linux.com

Ps: in scripts, this is very common to test whether the website is used normally

4. Specify the proxy server and its port

Many times, you need a proxy server to surf the Internet (for example, when you use a proxy server to surf the Internet or are blocked by others because you use curl's website). Fortunately, curl supports proxy setting by using the built-in option: - x

# curl -x 192.168.100.100:1080 http://www.linux.com

5,cookie

Some websites use cookies to record session information. For browsers such as chrome, cookie information can be easily processed, but cookies can also be easily processed by adding relevant parameters in curl
5.1: save the cookie information in the http response. Built in option:-c (lowercase)

# curl -c cookiec.txt  http://www.linux.com

After execution, the cookie information is saved in cookie.txt

5.2: save the header information in the http response. Built in option: -D

# curl -D cookied.txt http://www.linux.com

After execution, the cookie information is saved in cookie.txt

Note that the cookie generated by: - C (lowercase) is different from that in - D.

5.3: using cookie s
Many websites monitor your cookie information to determine whether you visit their websites according to the rules, so we need to use the saved cookie information. Built in option: -b

# curl -b cookiec.txt http://www.linux.com

6. Mimic browser

Some websites need to use a specific browser to access them, and some need to use a specific version. curl built-in option:-A allows us to specify a browser to access the website

# curl -A "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.0)" http://www.linux.com

In this way, the server side will be considered to be accessed using IE8.0

7. Forged referer (chain stealing)

Many servers check the referer of http access to control access. For example, you first visit the home page, and then visit the mailbox page in the home page. The referer address of the mailbox here is the page address after the successful visit to the home page. If the server finds that the referer address of the mailbox page is not the address of the home page, it concludes that it is a theft
The built-in option: - e in curl allows us to set the referer

# curl -e "www.linux.com" http://mail.linux.com

This will make the server think you have clicked a link from www.linux.com

8. Download File

8.1: download files using curl.

Use built-in option: - O (lowercase)

# curl -o dodo1.jpg http:www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

Use built-in option: - O (uppercase)

# curl -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

This saves the file locally with the name on the server

8.2: Circular Download
Sometimes the name of the front part of the downloaded image can be the same, but the name of the last caudal vertebra is different

# curl -O http://www.linux.com/dodo[1-5].JPG

In this way, all dodo1, dodo2, dodo3, dodo4 and dodo5 will be saved

8.3: Download rename

# curl -O http://www.linux.com/{hello,bb}/dodo[1-5].JPG

Because the file names in the downloaded hello and bb are dodo1, dodo2, dodo3, dodo4 and dodo5, the second download will overwrite the first download, so the file needs to be renamed.

# curl -o #1_#2.JPG http://www.linux.com/{hello,bb}/dodo[1-5].JPG

In this way, the file downloaded from hello/dodo1.JPG will become hello_dodo1.JPG, and so on, so as to effectively prevent the file from being overwritten

8.4: block Download
Sometimes the downloaded items will be large. At this time, we can download them in sections. Use the built-in option: - r

# curl -r 0-100 -o dodo1_part1.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
# curl -r 100-200 -o dodo1_part2.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
# curl -r 200- -o dodo1_part3.JPG http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
# cat dodo1_part* > dodo1.JPG

In this way, you can view the contents of dodo1.JPG

8.5: download files through ftp
curl can download files through ftp. curl provides two syntax for downloading files from ftp

# curl -O -u Username: password ftp://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG
# curl -O ftp: / / user name: password @ www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

8.6: display download progress bar

# curl -# -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

8.7: download progress information will not be displayed

# curl -s -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

9. Breakpoint continuation

In windows, we can use software like Xunlei for breakpoint continuation. curl can achieve the same effect through the built-in option:-C
If you suddenly drop the line during downloading dodo1.JPG, you can continue the transmission in the following way

# curl -C -O http://www.linux.com/dodo1.JPG

10. Upload file

curl can not only download files, but also upload files. It is realized through the built-in option:-T

# curl -T dodo1.JPG -u user name: password ftp://www.linux.com/img/

In this way, the file dodo1.JPG is uploaded to the ftp server

11. Display grab error

# curl -f http://www.linux.com/error
