Curl Cookbook collects practical cURL command recipes for common web requests.
About Recipes
Curl Cookbook is a collection of practical recipes for common web requests made with the cURL command-line tool. Each recipe names the curl argument used for a task, such as -X POST for a POST request, -L for following redirects, or -o file for saving a response to a file. The cookbook was created by the team at Browserling, who state that they use these recipes daily.
The cookbook covers common tasks rather than every curl option. It also includes a recipe for ignoring SSL certificate checks with -k, which the page presents as a usage example without describing its risks. The page is maintained by Browserling, which also offers a cross-browser testing service.

- Recipes for POST and GET requests using -X and -d arguments
- Recipes for query strings, custom headers, user agents, cookies, and referrers
