Test REST API with wget

Besides curl we can use wget command to test our REST API.

Send GET query:

wget 127.0.0.1:5000

Send POST query:

wget --post-data 'url=https://habr.com/ru/post/307140/' 127.0.0.1:5000

Send POST query with params saved in params.txt file

wget --post-file params.txt 127.0.0.1:5000

This will save result in index.html. If you want to output result to terminal use command:

wget -O - -q --post-file params.txt 127.0.0.1:5000
