cURL Up and Dye

This post records problems I've encountered while using cURL1.

1. Retrieve HTTP Head

Instead of curl -XHEAD https://example.com, use curl --head https://example.com.

2. Automatich POST method

When the --data parameter is used, curl uses POST method automatically, which could be overwritten with an explicit --request or -X though.

cURL, or curl, https://curl.se/
