How to send a header using a HTTP request through a curl call?

Question

I wish to send a header to my Apache server on a Linux box. How can I achieve this via a curl call?

Answer 1

You can also send multiple headers, data (JSON for example), and specify Call method (POST,GET) into a single CUrl call like this:

curl -X POST(Get or whatever) \
  http://your_url.com/api/endpoint \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'header-element1: header-data1' \
  -H 'header-element2: header-data2' \

......more headers................

  -d '{
  "JsonExArray": [
    {
      "json_prop": "1",
    },
    {
      "json_prop": "2",
    }
  ]
}'
