Call HTTP API with curl url

weberjn opened this issue · comments

I have written a Java Web Gui for curl, this complements with cliget:

https://github.com/weberjn/curlwebmanager

It would be nice, if you wouldn't need to copy&paste, but rather could click a button "send command" in cliget which would do a Post Request to an REST URL given in the options.

The request would correspond to the curl call

curl -X POST -u user:pass http://localhost:8080/curlmgr/curlapi<data>

I want to keep cliget simple and to the point so I'm afraid that's not a feature I'm willing to implement. If we can somehow generalize this feature (e.g. call any external program) and find a way to implement it without complicating the UI for everybody else then it might be worth considering.
