Upload a multi-part/image/file using curl

This post is about uploading a file to server using curl. Why I'm writing this post is because of a possible bug in Postman which forced me to look for an alternative to test my upload api.


Test if curl is present in system :
$ which curl
/usr/bin/curl

If curl is not present then install it : yum (centos), apt-get (ubuntu), brew (mac)

Syntax of the command :
curl -F "param1=value" -F "param2=value2" -F "filecomment=file_comment" -F "image=@image_path" server_api


Here's an example of the same :
curl -F "user_id=12" -F "description": "desc" -F "filecomment=This is an image file" -F "image=@/Users/Desktop/testim.png" localhost:80/myblog/create

If using nodeJs, you can fetch the values in fields & files parameters.

How to do mass insert in redis

A basic and fairly easy way to do mass insert in redis : Command to use: echo -e "$(cat redis_mass_insert.txt)" | redis-cli --pipe Content of file "redis_mass_insert.txt": *3\r\n$5\r\nlpush\r\n$5\r\nu:m:1\r\n$5\r\nvalu1\r\n*3\r\n$5\r\nlpush\r\n$5\r\nu:m:1\r\n$7\r\nmyvalue\r\n Result: All data transferred. Waiting for the last reply... ERR unknown command ' *2' ERR unknown command '$4' ERR wrong number of arguments for 'echo' command ERR unknown command '$20' ERR unknown command ' A�j d�Q;yT��าก �h>' NOTE: command line will show error but in actual the data is transferred and you can check it by entering in redis. Here's the snapshot of the whole procedure: To check how the command is responding: use hexdump -C Command: echo -n $'$3\r\nset\r\n$3\r\nkey\r\n$5\r\nvalue\r\n ' | hexdump -C whose output will be something like 00000000 24 33 0d 0a 73 65 74 0d 0a 24 33 0d 0a 6b 65 79 |$3..set.....
