That was a fun read! I don’t even know what Postman is but I do like curl :P
Be glad you don’t know what Postman is.
The only reason I bother is because some PMs want to use it.
Look at Bruno. Its open source, though I did get pay walled the other day and it pissed me off.
I thought this article was complaining about something that no-one used, but here you are recommending alternatives… alternatives that are not curl
Check out yaak, also open source no paywall. Built on Tauri so not a dumb electron app
Yaak has a commercial paywall if you use the pre-built binaries. You can easily build it yourself without licensing tho
Command line escaping is an annoying son of a bitch and different rules apply depending if you’re using bash, cmd, powershell.
That’s why you shouldn’t use cmd or powershell. That and the fact that you’d have to install W*nd*ws in order to use them.
Edit: Too bad that all the downvoters didn’t leave a comment. Now I’ll never know if it was M*cr*s*ft employees on their anual works outing, or if you’re mad because I dared to use the W-word :D
Command line escaping is not a solely cmd or powershell thing to deal with. But also,
That’s great. I like a GUI. I also do not like whatever postman is. So I have to suffer until I find something that works for me

This is such a weird article. Electron is not for making http requests, it’s for rendering web pages. Nothing within curl can render web pages. I’m not saying you should be using electron necessarily, but this is just so obviously wrong, what is the author thinking?
And (almost) any programming language has a built-in primitive for making http requests (possibly even using libcurl internally), why would I switch to a command line call if I can just do the http call directly with that primitive?
I think it’s a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.
You can pry
wgetfrom my cold, dead hands.they are different things, wget and curl do not have many overlapping use cases other than downloading stuff over http
This is beautiful. I’ma send this to my coworkers.
With none other than…
Outlook. In HTML format. With a giant signature that includes an embedded image.
Also the image is a 2400px image that has been resized using width and height attributes.
