Linux Shell Power Snippets

README.md

Snippets for the shell (mostly bash)

Fetch a URL when you don't have wget or curl (e.g in an alpine docker container)

# drop in a function
fetch() { (echo -ne "GET $2 HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: $1\n\r\n"; sleep 5) | \
           openssl s_client -connect $1:443 -quiet -msgfile /dev/null | \
           perl -pe 'BEGIN { while (<>) { last if $_ eq "\r\n"; } }';
}

# call the function, manually splitting host and uri and dropping scheme
fetch "raw.githubusercontent.com"  "/gabrielelana/mongodb-shell-extensions/master/released/mongorc.js" > /tmp/.mongorc.js
