curlie: Send a GET request with a custom header.
$ curlie get ${httpbin-org-get} ${header-name:header-value}
try on your machine

The command you provided seems to involve using two variables within the curlie command-line tool. Here is a breakdown of each component:

  1. curlie: curlie is a CLI (Command-Line Interface) tool used to make HTTP requests and interact with web services. It is an alternative to using the commonly used curl command.

  2. get: get is a subcommand of curlie used to make a GET request to a specified URL. It is typically followed by the URL you want to retrieve data from.

  3. ${httpbin-org-get}: This appears to be a variable or placeholder enclosed within ${}. Without further information, it is challenging to determine the exact value being represented. However, based on the naming convention, it seems like it is intended to hold the URL for an API endpoint, possibly related to httpbin.org.

  4. ${header-name:header-value}: This is another variable enclosed within ${}. It appears to represent a custom header for the HTTP request being made. Again, the exact header name and value are reliant on the values assigned to these variables. In the example given, header-name is the name of the header and header-value is its corresponding value.

To summarize, the curlie command seems to be used to make a GET request to a specified URL (httpbin-org-get) while also including a custom header (header-name:header-value) in the request. However, without the actual values assigned to these variables, it is challenging to provide a more precise explanation.

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.
