# NAME
HTTP::Request::AsCurl - Generate a curl command from an HTTP::Request object.
# SYNOPSIS
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Request::AsCurl qw/as_curl/;
my $request = POST('api.earth.defense/weapon1', {
target => 'mothership',
when => 'now'
});
system as_curl($request);
print as_curl($request, pretty => 1, newline => "\n", shell => 'bourne');
# curl \
# --request POST api.earth.defense/weapon1 \
# --dump-header - \
# --data target=mothership \
# --data when=now
# DESCRIPTION
This module converts an HTTP::Request object to a curl command. It can be used
for debugging REST APIs.
It handles headers and basic authentication.
# METHODS
## as\_curl($request, %params)
Accepts an HTTP::Request object and converts it to a curl command. If there
are no `%params`, `as_curl()` returns the cmd as an array suitable for being
passed to system().
If there are `%params`, `as_curl()` returns a formatted string. The string's
format defaults to using "\\n" for newlines and escaping the curl command using
bourne shell rules unless you are on a win32 system in which case it defaults
to using win32 cmd.exe escaping rules.
Available params are as follows
newline: defaults to "\n"
shell: currently available options are 'bourne' and 'win32'
