curling

Curling is a Go library that converts http.Request objects into cURL commands

Install

go get -u github.com/aoliveti/curling

Usage

The following Go code demonstrates how to create a command from an HTTP request object:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"log"
	"net/http"

	"github.com/aoliveti/curling"
)

func main() {
	req, err := http.NewRequest(http.MethodGet, "https://www.google.com", nil)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	req.Header.Add("If-None-Match", "foo")

	cmd, err := curling.NewFromRequest(req)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}

	fmt.Println(cmd)
}

curl -X 'GET' 'https://www.google.com' -H 'If-None-Match: foo'

Options

func NewFromRequest(r *http.Request, opts ...Option) (*Command, error) {
    ...
}

When creating a new command, you can provide these options:

Option	Description
