http: Specify raw request body via `stdin`.
$ cat ${data-txt} | http PUT ${example-org}
try on your machine
This command can be broken down into two parts:
-
cat ${data-txt}
: Thecat
command is used to concatenate and display the contents of files. In this case,${data-txt}
is a placeholder for a file nameddata.txt
. So, this part of the command will display the contents of thedata.txt
file. -
http PUT ${example-org}
: This part of the command uses thehttp
command to send an HTTP request. Specifically, it uses the HTTP methodPUT
to send data to the URL specified in${example-org}
.${example-org}
is a placeholder for the target URL or endpoint to which the data will be sent.
In summary, the command reads the contents of the data.txt
file using cat
and then sends that data as a PUT request to the specified URL using the http
command.
