curlie: Send a POST request.
$ curlie post ${httpbin-org-post} ${name=john} ${age:=25}
try on your machine

The command: curlie post ${httpbin-org-post} ${name=john} ${age:=25} uses the curlie command-line tool to perform an HTTP POST request with some data and parameters.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • curlie: It is a command-line tool that provides a comfortable way to work with HTTP requests. It is an alternative to the more commonly known curl command.
  • post: This is an option available in curlie to specify that we want to perform a POST request.
  • ${httpbin-org-post}: This is a placeholder for the URL where the POST request will be sent. It could be something like https://httpbin.org/post, which is a service that is often used for testing HTTP requests and responses.
  • ${name=john}: This is a placeholder for a data field called "name" with the value "john". It is included in the POST request payload as a form field.
  • ${age:=25}: This is a placeholder for a data field called "age" with the value "25". The := syntax in this case means that if the "age" field is not already defined, it will be set to the default value of 25.

Overall, the command is performing an HTTP POST request to the specified URL with the data fields "name" and "age," where "name" is set to "john" and "age" is set to 25 (if it is not already defined).

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
