# `--request-target`
|
|
|
|
Tells curl to use an alternative "target" (path) instead of using the path as
|
|
provided in the URL. Particularly useful when wanting to issue HTTP requests
|
|
without leading slash or other data that does not follow the regular URL
|
|
pattern, like "OPTIONS *".
|
|
|
|
curl passes on the verbatim string you give it its the request without any
|
|
filter or other safe guards. That includes white space and control characters.
