How to send a cURL request with a specific HTTP method (e.g., PUT or DELETE)?

To send a cURL request with a specific HTTP method, you can use the -X or --request flag followed by the desired HTTP method like PUT, DELETE, POST, GET, etc.

Here's an example of how to send a cURL request with different HTTP methods:

  1. PUT request:
curl -X PUT <URL> -d '<data>'
  1. DELETE request:
curl -X DELETE <URL>
  1. POST request:
curl -X POST <URL> -d '<data>'
  1. GET request:
curl -X GET <URL>

Note that <URL> represents the endpoint or URL you want to send the request to. <data> represents any data you want to include in the request body, which is optional depending on the request.

You can also include additional flags like -H to add headers, -d to include the request body data, -u to add authentication credentials, etc., as necessary for your specific use case.
