Curl Command to Repeat URL Request
Whats the syntax for a linux command that hits a URL repeatedly, x number of times. I don't need to do anything with the data, I just need to replicate hitting refresh 20 times in a browser.
Answer
You could use URL sequence substitution with a dummy query string (if you want to use CURL and save a few keystrokes):
curl http://www.myurl.com/?[1-20]
If you have other query strings in your URL, assign the sequence to a throwaway variable:
curl http://www.myurl.com/?myVar=111&fakeVar=[1-20]
Check out the URL section on the man page: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html
