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
