Shell Access Script

Since the command to PUT some keys is very long, the following simple shell script shall make debugging VolD with curl more easy. Indeed, it is nothing more than a wrapper to curl.

#!/bin/bash

METHOD="GET"
PARAMS=""
URL=""
CURL=$(which curl)

while [[ "$@" ]]; do
        if [[ "$1" == "-X" ]]; then
                shift
                METHOD="$1"
        elif [[ "${1:0:1}" == "-" ]]; then
                PARAMS="${PARAMS} \"$1\" \"$2\""
                shift
        else
                URL="$1"
        fi

        shift
done

echo "Method: ${METHOD}"
echo "Parameters: ${PARAMS}"
echo "URL: ${URL}"

if [[ "${METHOD}" == "PUT" ]]; then
        ${CURL} -X "${METHOD}" ${PARAMS} "${URL}" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -d '<org.springframework.util.LinkedMultiValueMap><targetMap class="linked-hash-map"/></org.springframework.util.LinkedMultiValueMap>'
else
        ${CURL} -X "${METHOD}" ${PARAMS} "${URL}"
fi

The script can be called like curl would be called. It is sufficient to use -X METHOD to give the method (if not supplied, the default is GET) and the URL.

The following calls create a key, refresh it, get it and then delete it.

./call.sh -X PUT    "http://localhost:8080/s?k=X
./call.sh -X POST   "http://localhost:8080/s?k=X
./call.sh -X GET    "http://localhost:8080/s?k=X
./call.sh -X DELETE "http://localhost:8080/s?k=X
