[cURL] send a file via HTTP POST

### cURL POST file ###

Solution 1 :

curl -X POST --form "fileupload=@filename.txt" http://your_url.com

You can imagine that you have send a request above in the client side.

And how could I get the file that you have sent in the server side ?

[in PHP] :

$_FILES['fileupload']

Solution 2 :

curl -X POST -d @filename http://your_url.com/

### curl POST data ###

curl -X POST --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://your_url.com

[in PHP]:

Similar, to get the value of the parameters that have been sent

$_POST['param1']
$_POST['param2']


Here is the manuel that we can find all the options of cUrl :
