It's been awhile since I had to deal with web requests. Back then I used Postman (back when I still used Windows). Now I try to always get by using the simplest open source tools for the job so thanks for sharing, will try it out.

I knew of curl but always thought of it as a tool to play around when doing simple requests, never knew people go so far with it.
