How to pass POST parameters to Chromium via the command line? - php

I use chromium --ingognito www.mysite.com/page.php?msg=mymessage to open my website and pass it a msg.
I wish to know how to pass the same msg param via POST instead to use GET, from command line.

Do you do anything with the site in Chromium after opening it? Otherwise you could use a more capable command line http client like curl(1) which would make this very easy.
See this example:
curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://example.com/resource.cgi

With console ? I don't know, but you can try to use this extension : Advanced REST Client.
The web developers helper program to create and test custom HTTP requests.
Here is the link : https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-rest-client/hgmloofddffdnphfgcellkdfbfbjeloo

Making XMLHttpRequest from php

I want to do some m2m-communication, where my server is to emulate a human operating a webpage.
So I'm trying to SEND an XMLHttpRequest from php TO another server.
Whatever I've searched for gives how for php to ACCEPT a XMLHttpRequest
I have debugged the browser, and Chrome webdeveloper tools have given me a cURL cmd which works.
The curl cmd ends in
--data-binary '[{"productNumber":"12345678","quantity":1}]'
I'm using snoopy to send the requests, and have emulated every cookie and header, but the server still responds with 400 Invalid Request.
I think the problem lies in that snoopy usually is used like this:
$submit_vars['email'] = "johndoe#example.com";
$submit_vars['password'] = 'secret';
$snoopy->submit($submit_url, $submit_vars);
i.e. Snoopy expects an array of form variables, not a string.
Is there a way to make snoopy send the equivalent of curl --data-binary ?

Download a zip file using curl or wget

I need to download several zip files from this web page ....
http://www.geoportale.regione.lombardia.it/download-pacchetti?p_p_id=dwnpackageportlet_WAR_geoportaledownloadportlet&p_p_lifecycle=0&metadataid=%7B16C07895-B75B-466A-B980-940ECA207F64%7D
using curl or wget, so not in interactive way,
A sample url is the follow ...
http://www.geoportale.regione.lombardia.it/rlregis_download/service/package?dbId=323&cod=12
If I use this link in a new browser tab or window, all works fine but using curl or wget it's not possible to download the zipfile.
Trying to see what happen in the browser using Firebug, or in general the browser console, I can see that there is first a POST request and then a GET request (using Firebug ... ), so I'm not able to reproduce these requests using curl or wget.
Could be also that some cookies are sets in the browser session and the links do not work without that cookie?
Any suggestion will be appreciated ....
Cesare
NOTE: when I try to use a wget this is my result
NOTE 2: 404 Not found
NOTE 3 (the solution): the right command is
wget "http://www.geoportale.regione.lombardia.it/rlregis_download/service/package?dbId=323&cod=12"
then I've to rename the file in something like "pippo.zip" and this is my result, or, better using the -O option in this manner
wget "http://www.geoportale.regione.lombardia.it/rlregis_download/service/package?dbId=323&cod=12" -O pippo.zip
Looking at your command, you're missing the double quotes. Your command should be:
wget "http://www.geoportale.regione.lombardia.it/rlregis_download‌​/service/package?dbI‌​d=323&cod=12"
That should download it properly.

following url: curl couldn't resolve host 'GET'

I have a page (realized with a php framework) that add records in a MySQL db in this way:
www.mysite.ext/controller/addRecord.php?id=number
that add a row in a table with the number id passed via post and other informations such as timestamp, etc.
So, I movedo my eintire web applicazione to another domain and all HTTP requests works fine from old to new domain.
Only remaining issue is the curl: I wrote a bash script (under linux) that run curl of this link. Now, obviously it does not works because curl returns an alert message in which I read the page was moved.
Ok, I edited the curl sintax in this way
#! /bin/sh
link="www.myoldsite.ext/controlloer/addRecord.php?id=number"
curl --request -L GET $link
I add -L to follow url in new location but curl returns the error I wrote in this topic title.
It would be easier if I could directly modify the link adding the new domain but I do not have physical access to all devices.
GET is the default request type for curl. And that's not the way to set it.
curl -X GET ...
That is the way to set GET as the method keyword that curl uses.
It should be noted that curl selects which methods to use on its own depending on what action to ask for. -d will do POST, -I will do HEAD and so on. If you use the --request / -X option you can change the method keyword curl selects, but you will not modify curl's behavior. This means that if you for example use -d "data" to do a POST, you can modify the method to a PROPFIND with -X and curl will still think it sends a POST. You can change the normal GET to a POST method by simply adding -X POST in a command line like:
curl -X POST http://example.org/
... but curl will still think and act as if it sent a GET so it won't send any request body etc.
More here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html#More_on_changed_methods
Again, that's not necessary. Are you sure the link is correct?

How to debug curl on IIS?

How to inspect CURL requests?
My PHP scripts are hosted on IIS and I want to find some debugging tool for CURL.
Could you suggest something in fiddler-style?
(Or maybe there is a way to use fiddler itself, I failed to do so because if I make my CURL to tunnel through proxy 127.0.0.1 it makes CONNECT requests instead of GET)
wireshark is not working for HTTPS but for HTTP only.
Can you change your curl script to use HTTP ?
Use curl -v for verbose mode.
From man curl
-v/--verbose
Makes the fetching more verbose/talkative. Mostly useful for debugging. A line starting
with '>' means "header data" sent by curl, '<' means "header data" received by curl that
is hidden in normal cases, and a line starting with '*' means additional info provided by
curl.
Note that if you only want HTTP headers in the output, -i/--include might be the option
you're looking for.
If you think this option still doesn't give you enough details, consider using --trace or
--trace-ascii instead.
This option overrides previous uses of --trace-ascii or --trace.

Determining URL of script that is calling from a remote CURL request

I have a homebase script, that I have many other scripts ping for information using the CURL method. I need to determine the domain name of the callers. Can I do this with tricks just on my homebase script?
. using php .
Hudson
You could send a custom HTTP header with your CURL request that contains the script name, something like
X-SCRIPT-NAME myscript.php
I don't think CURL automatically adds something about the calling script, so you would have to edit the scripts for this.
