CURL Command Line URL Parameters
Felipsmartins is correct.
It is worth mentioning that it is because you cannot really use the -d/--data option if this is not a POST request. But this is still possible if you use the -G option.
Which means you can do this:
curl -X DELETE -G 'http://localhost:5000/locations' -d 'id=3'
Here it is a bit silly but when you are on the command line and you have a lot of parameters, it is a lot tidier.
I am saying this because cURL commands are usually quite long, so it is worth making it on more than one line escaping the line breaks.
curl -X DELETE -G \
'http://localhost:5000/locations' \
-d id=3 \
-d name=Mario \
-d surname=Bros
This is obviously a lot more comfortable if you use zsh. I mean when you need to re-edit the previous command because zsh lets you go line by line. (just saying)
Hope it helps.
The application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-type header is not required (well, kinda depends). Unless the request handler expects parameters coming from the form body. Try it out:
curl -X DELETE "http://localhost:5000/locations?id=3"
or
curl -X GET "http://localhost:5000/locations?id=3"
