Simple utility for POSTing files as multipart/form-data, written in golang
You will need a go build environment, which you can learn how to set up in the golang documentation
Once you have your environment set up, creating an executable should be as simple as running go get
and go install
When running the program, it takes the following flags:
-filenameThe name of the file you want to upload-fieldnameThe field name of the uploaded file in the simulated form that is sent to the url-urlThe url to make a POST request to-helpShow acceptable argument list with descriptions and exit
All the flags except -help are required to make a complete request.
When run, the program will provide the status code of the response and exit.
This is a very basic program that I threw together to help me at work. Potential improvements include:
- Better error reporting and the ability to retry failed requests
- Ability to batch requests based on some input file
- Ability make POSTs with content types besides
multipart/form-data - Avoiding buffering the whole upload into memory before sending it
