http: Send form-encoded data.
$ http --form ${example-org} ${name='bob'} ${profile_picture@'bob-png'}
try on your machine
The command you provided is using a tool called "httpie" (HTTPie is a command-line HTTP client). Let's break it down:
http
: This is the command to execute HTTP requests using httpie.--form
: This option indicates that the request should use the "multipart/form-data" encoding, commonly used for submitting form data including files.${example-org}
: This is likely a placeholder for the URL or endpoint of the HTTP request. It should be replaced with the actual URL or endpoint.${name='bob'}
: This is likely another placeholder. It represents a form field named "name" with a value of "bob". Again, it should be replaced with the actual form field and value.${profile_picture@'bob-png'}
: This is another placeholder representing a form field named "profile_picture" with a file attachment named "bob-png". It indicates that the file "bob-png" (presumably an image file) should be uploaded as the value for this form field. You should replace this with the actual file name.
It's important to note that the placeholders (${...}
) need to be replaced with the actual values for your specific use case in order for the command to work correctly.
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.
