- switch all invidual files documenting command line options into .md, as the documentation is now markdown-looking. - made the parser treat 4-space indents as quotes - switch to building the curl.1 manpage using the "mainpage.idx" file, which lists the files to include to generate it, instead of using the previous page-footer/headers. Also, those files are now also .md ones, using the same format. I gave them underscore prefixes to make them sort separately: _NAME.md, _SYNOPSIS.md, _DESCRIPTION.md, _URL.md, _GLOBBING.md, _VARIABLES.md, _OUTPUT.md, _PROTOCOLS.md, _PROGRESS.md, _VERSION.md, _OPTIONS.md, _FILES.md, _ENVIRONMENT.md, _PROXYPREFIX.md, _EXITCODES.md, _BUGS.md, _AUTHORS.md, _WWW.md, _SEEALSO.md - updated test cases accordingly Closes #12751

# `--json`
|
|
|
|
Sends the specified JSON data in a POST request to the HTTP server. --json
|
|
works as a shortcut for passing on these three options:
|
|
|
|
--data [arg]
|
|
--header "Content-Type: application/json"
|
|
--header "Accept: application/json"
|
|
|
|
There is **no verification** that the passed in data is actual JSON or that
|
|
the syntax is correct.
|
|
|
|
If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name to
|
|
read the data from, or a single dash (-) if you want curl to read the data
|
|
from stdin. Posting data from a file named 'foobar' would thus be done with
|
|
--json @foobar and to instead read the data from stdin, use --json @-.
|
|
|
|
If this option is used more than once on the same command line, the additional
|
|
data pieces are concatenated to the previous before sending.
|
|
|
|
The headers this option sets can be overridden with --header as usual.
