lwp-request:tldr:0b1c0
This command is using the lwp-request utility to make an HTTP request with specific headers and options. Let's break it down:
-
lwp-request
: It is a command-line utility used to send HTTP requests and receive responses. This utility is often used for testing and debugging HTTP-based applications. -
-H 'User-Agent: ${user_agent}'
: This option adds a "User-Agent" header to the HTTP request. The User-Agent header provides information about the client making the request.${user_agent}
is likely a placeholder that should be replaced with an actual user agent string. -
-m ${METHOD}
: This option sets the HTTP request method.${METHOD}
is another placeholder that should be replaced with the desired HTTP method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE). -
${http:--example-com-some-path}
: This is the URL to which the HTTP request is being sent.${http:--example-com-some-path}
appears to be another placeholder that should be replaced with the actual URL. The example URL used is "http://example.com/some-path".
In summary, the command is making an HTTP request to a specified URL with custom headers (including User-Agent) and a specific HTTP method. The placeholders (${user_agent}, ${METHOD}, and ${http:--example-com-some-path}) need to be replaced with actual values relevant to the request.
