Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting HELP - loop a curl command with different variables from input file Post 303001945 by yort on Tuesday 15th of August 2017 08:36:20 AM

Hi @RudiC. Thank you for the reply and apologies for the lack of pertinent info.

You are absolutely correct that I won't "curlwith these variables" so let me try to rephrase.

Curl will be used for an API call to add multiple nodes to a load balancer pool (hence my cry for help on how to go about reading, expanding and using a source file) and the variables above are all needed.
Looks something like this -
Code:
curl -u 'usernamepassword' "Content-Type: application/json" POST https://api/add/ "{ \"nodename\": \"$A\", \"ipaddress\": \"$B\", \"poolname\": \"$C\", \"port\": \"$D\", \"loadbalancer\" : \"$E\" }"

I will be running a bash script to loop the API call from a RHEL 6.5 bastion host.

Thank you again and I'll try what you suggested Smilie

NAME
Apache2::URI - Perl API for manipulating URIs Synopsis use Apache2::URI (); $hostport = $r->construct_server(); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port, $pool); $url = $r->construct_url(); $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri); $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri, $pool); $parsed_uri = $r->parse_uri($uri); $parsed_uri = $r->parsed_uri(); $url = join '%20', qw(one two three); Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url); Description While "APR::URI" provides a generic API to dissect, adjust and put together any given URI string, "Apache2::URI" provides an API specific to Apache, by taking the information directly from the $r object. Therefore when manipulating the URI of the current HTTP request usually methods from both classes are used. API
"Apache2::URI" provides the following functions and methods: "construct_server" Construct a string made of hostname and port $hostport = $r->construct_server(); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port); $hostport = $r->construct_server($hostname, $port, $pool); obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" ) The current request object opt arg1: $hostname ( string ) The hostname of the server. If that argument is not passed, "$r->get_server_name" is used. opt arg2: $port ( string ) The port the server is running on. If that argument is not passed, "$r->get_server_port" is used. opt arg3: $pool ( "APR::Pool object" ) The pool to allocate the string from. If that argument is not passed, "$r->pool" is used. ret: $hostport ( string ) The server's hostport string since: 2.0.00 Examples: o Assuming that: $r->get_server_name == "localhost"; $r->get_server_port == 8001; The code: $hostport = $r->construct_server(); returns a string: localhost:8001 o The following code sets the values explicitly: $hostport = $r->construct_server("my.example.com", 8888); and it returns a string: my.example.com:8888 "construct_url" Build a fully qualified URL from the uri and information in the request rec: $url = $r->construct_url(); $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri); $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri, $pool); obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" ) The current request object opt arg1: $rel_uri ( string ) The path to the requested file (it may include a concatenation of path, query and fragment components). If that argument is not passed, "$r->uri" is used. opt arg2: $pool ( "APR::Pool object" ) The pool to allocate the URL from If that argument is not passed, "$r->pool" is used. ret: $url ( string ) A fully qualified URL since: 2.0.00 Examples: o Assuming that the request was http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test?args The code: my $url = $r->construct_url; returns the string: http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test notice that the query (args) component is not in the string. You need to append it manually if it's needed. o Assuming that the request was http://localhost.localdomain:8529/test?args The code: my $rel_uri = "/foo/bar?tar"; my $url = $r->construct_url($rel_uri); returns the string: http://localhost.localdomain:8529/foo/bar?tar "parse_uri" Break apart URI (affecting the current request's uri components) $r->parse_uri($uri); obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" ) The current request object arg1: $uri ( string ) The uri to break apart ret: no return value warning: This method has several side-effects explained below since: 2.0.00 This method call has the following side-effects: 1. sets "$r->args" to the rest after '?' if such exists in the passed $uri, otherwise sets it to "undef". 2. sets "$r->uri" to the passed $uri without the "$r->args" part. 3. sets "$r->hostname" (if not set already) using the ("scheme://host:port") parts of the passed $uri. "parsed_uri" Get the current request's parsed uri object my $uri = $r->parsed_uri(); obj: $r ( "Apache2::RequestRec object" ) The current request object ret: $uri ( "APR::URI object" ) The parsed uri since: 2.0.00 This object is suitable for using with "APR::URI::rpath" "unescape_url" Unescape URLs Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url); obj: $url ( string ) The URL to unescape ret: no return value The argument $url is now unescaped since: 2.0.00 Example: my $url = join '%20', qw(one two three); Apache2::URI::unescape_url($url); $url now contains the string: "one two three"; See Also "APR::URI", mod_perl 2.0 documentation.
