How Do You Properly Set and Manage curl Headers in Your Requests? or What Are the Best Practices for

14 Replies, 1627 Views

Check if your server expects a trailing slash or specific user-agent. Some APIs reject requests if the UA isn’t set. Try `-H "User-Agent: MyScript"`.

For debugging, https://webhook.site is awesome. It shows exactly what headers curl sends.

And yeah, stacking `-H` flags is ugly. I write a bash function or use a Makefile to keep it tidy.
