Curl Usage Examples

• Using a config file: curl --config ~/.curlrc/akamai -LsD - "https://domain.com"
• Using timing file: curl -w '@/Users/USERNAME/.curlrc/curl-timing.txt' -LsD - -o /dev/null "https://domain.com"
• Using both:
  • curl --config ~/.curlrc/akamai -w '@/Users/USERNAME/.curlrc/curl-timing.txt' -LsD - "https://domain.com"
  • Assuming there is no output configuration within ~/.curlrc/akamai: curl --config ~/.curlrc/akamai -w "@Users/USERNAME/.curlrc/curl-timing.txt" -LsD - -o /dev/null "https://domain.com" 2>&1 | grep "^HTTP\|^X-Cache:\|time_total:"
  • In a loop: while true;do curl --config ~/.curlrc/akamai -w "@/Users/USERNAME/.curlrc/curl-timing.txt" -LsD - -o /dev/null "http://domain.com" 2>&1 | grep "^HTTP\|^X-Cache:\|time_total:";done
