How to post a form with curl, lesson #1:
- Dig out all the <input> tags in the form that you want to fill in. (There's
- a perl program called formfind.pl on the curl site that helps with this).
+ Dig out all the <input> tags in the form that you want to fill in.
If there's a "normal" post, you use -d to post. -d takes a full "post
string", which is in the format
If you have installed the OpenLDAP library, curl can take advantage of it
and offer ldap:// support.
+ On Windows, curl will use WinLDAP from Platform SDK by default.
+
+ Default protocol version used by curl is LDAPv3. LDAPv2 will be used as
+ fallback mechanism in case if LDAPv3 will fail to connect.
LDAP is a complex thing and writing an LDAP query is not an easy task. I do
advise you to dig up the syntax description for that elsewhere. One such
If I want the same info in HTML format, I can get it by not using the -B
(enforce ASCII) flag.
+ You also can use authentication when accessing LDAP catalog:
+
+ curl -u user:passwd "ldap://ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"
+ curl "ldap://user:passwd@ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"
+
+ By default, if user and password provided, OpenLDAP/WinLDAP will use basic
+ authentication. On Windows you can control this behavior by providing
+ one of --basic, --ntlm or --digest option in curl command line
+
+ curl --ntlm "ldap://user:passwd@ldap.frontec.se/o=frontec??sub?mail=*"
+
+ On Windows, if no user/password specified, auto-negotiation mechanism will
+ be used with current logon credentials (SSPI/SPNEGO).

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Curl reads and understands the following environment variables:
If the host name matches one of these strings, or the host is within the
domain of one of these strings, transactions with that node will not be
- proxied.
-
+ proxied. When a domain is used, it needs to start with a period. A user can
+ specify that both www.example.com and foo.example.com should not uses a
+ proxy by setting NO_PROXY to ".example.com". By including the full name you
+ can exclude specific host names, so to make www.example.com not use a proxy
+ but still have foo.example.com do it, set NO_PROXY to "www.example.com"
The usage of the -x/--proxy flag overrides the environment variables.
