Tired of copy pasting cURL commands from chrome to your terminal ?
You don't want to use GUI tools like Postman ?
This short bash script uses the chrome dev tools protocol to dump cookies from a specific tab of your local chrome instance into the header of a curl command
By doing so we also evade leaking cookies into our shell history file
Usage:
- Start chrome with
google-chrome-stable --remote-debugging-port=9222 - Make sure the tab you want to steal the cookies from is the active one
- Run the script:
./ccurl.sh <Tab URL Prefix> <cURL command ...> - Example:
./ccurl.sh http://localhost:3000/ -H "User-Agent: test" http://localhost:3000/api/user
Requirements:
- bash
- websocat
- jq
Install:
sudo cp ./ccurl.sh /usr/bin/ccurl && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/ccurl
This script was quickly hacked together. I am not a bash expert. If you see room for improvements dont hesitate to open an issue or provide a PR.
