> cat details.txt
What is cURL?
The curl command transfers data from or to a server using supported protocols including HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. It is the Swiss Army knife of network tools — used by developers to test APIs, inspect HTTP headers, download files, and debug web services.
How to Use cURL on iOS
> curl https://api.example.com/status
> curl -I https://google.com
The -I flag fetches only the HTTP headers, useful for checking status codes, content types, and caching policies.
Developer Use Cases
- Test REST API endpoints and inspect JSON responses
- Check HTTP status codes for uptime monitoring
- Verify SSL certificates and HTTPS configuration
- Debug redirect chains and content delivery
