How to post HTML form to the Server?
To post HTML form data to the server in URL-encoded format {{using LANG}}, you need to make an HTTP POST request to the server and provide the HTML form data in the body of the {{LANG}} POST message in key=value format. You must also specify the data type using the Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded request HTTP header. You can also send HTML form data to the server using the HTTP GET method. To do this, HTML form data is passed in the URL as key=value pairs separated by ampersands (&), and keys are separated from values by equality (=). In this {{LANG}} HTML Form POST Example, we post the form data to the ReqBin echo URL in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. Click Send to run the {{LANG}} HTML Form POST example online and see the results.

How do I post form data using Curl?
To post form data to the server using Curl, you can use one of two command line options: -F (--form) or -d (--data). The -F command-line parameter sends form data with the multipart/form-data content type, and the -d command-line parameter sends form data with the application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type. In this Curl POST Form example, we submit a form to a ReqBin echo URL in the application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. Click Run to execute the Curl POST Form example online and see the results.

How do I use curl -d option?
The curl -d (or --data) command line argument tells Curl to send the passed data to the server in the body of the HTTP message. When you pass data to Curl with the -d command line argument, Curl, by default, sends the data to the server in the Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded format. To send data in a different format, you must specify the correct content type with the -H command line argument. The Content-Type request header is required for servers to correctly interpret and process the data in the POST message body. In this Curl -d example, we send the data to the ReqBin echo URL. Click Run to execute the Curl -d request online and see the results.
