How to pass file content through URL using shell script
 
Hi All,

I am calling a URL from shell script and passing few argumants,
Here i have to pass file content as one argument.

How can i pass file content through URL.

eg:
content=`cat /Users/test1.txt`
open http://localhost:8080?filecontent=$content

it is not working.

Please give me solution for this.

I'm guessing you're passing it to a Php script? I'm not sure how it would work on the shell script side, but here is what you would do on the Php side:

content=`cat /Users/test1.txt`


Code:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['filecontent'])){
  $content = $_GET['filecontent'];

  echo $content;

}
?>
We can at least start at this point if you haven't gotten this far.
