macOS post https - script

[hank moody]

hi, im not a programmer but maybe someone would help me.

i want to make a simple script (bash script?) that everytime i click in it, it makes a POST HTTPS Request to the https://xxxxxxx.xml with some parameters (ex.: "backup finished") in the body of the request. And then, receive de response to "response.xml".

It's possible?

Thank you

I’d probably use cURL (maybe wrapped up in a script).

=> curl --data "param1=value1&param2=value2" http://host/path

You can pass in auth creds, custom headers, etc. I’d probably wind up using Python or Ruby to do it, easily write out (and potentially parse) the return value.
