How to send a file to local curl

To use curl to send a temp.json file to a local HTTPS endpoint, you can use the following command:

curl -X POST --data @temp.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8080/glopar/v2

Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:

1. curl: This is the command-line tool for transferring data with URLs.

2. -X POST: This specifies that you want to send a POST request.

3. --data @temp.json: This tells curl to send the contents of the temp.json file as the data for the POST request. The @ symbol indicates that curl should read the data from a file.

4. -H "Content-Type: application/json": This sets the Content-Type header to application/json to indicate that the data being sent is in JSON format.

5. https://localhost:8080/glopar/v2: This is the URL of the endpoint to which you're sending the request.

If localhost is using a self-signed SSL certificate, curl might complain about the certificate's security. To bypass security checks (not recommended for production environments), you can add the -k or --insecure option:

curl -k -X POST --data @temp.json -H "Content-Type: application/json" https://localhost:8080/glopar/v2

For more details on curl usage, you can refer to the official curl documentation.

Note: Bypassing SSL verification with -k is unsafe for production use because it makes your connection vulnerable to Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacks. Always ensure proper SSL configuration in production environments.
