HttpClientToCurl

HttpClientToCurl is an extension in .NET that helps you easily view everything set in your HttpClient or HttpRequestMessage as an equivalent CURL command.

🔍 What it does

• Converts your HttpClient or HttpRequestMessage request into a curl script.
• Let's you verify whether the generated data is correct before sending it to an external service or Provider.
• If you encounter an error, you can run the curl script, inspect the output, and quickly identify and fix the problem.

🚀 Why it’s useful

• When working with APIs in .NET, one of the most common challenges is debugging requests. We often want to see exactly what gets sent - headers, body, query strings, everything. This package makes debugging HTTP requests simpler and faster.
• Helps you create or update Postman collections when you don’t already have one for the external service or Provider you’re working with.
• Saves time compared to manually reproducing requests in Postman or other tools.

🧩 Supported Methods

The HttpClientToCurl extension fully supports all major HTTP methods: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH.

You can easily generate a valid CURL command for any of these request types.

In addition, your request body doesn’t need to be limited to JSON. It can also use XML, form-data, or any other custom content type defined in your HttpRequestMessage.

✨ This flexibility lets you generate CURL scripts for a wide range of APIs — no matter what protocol or data format they use.
