Is it possible to use data from the response header to a POST in a subsequent GET?

[Ken M. <ke...@sh...>]

Hi, we have a web app that first takes a POST to a generic URL and
returns an id in the POST response header. I'd like to use curl-loader
to grab that unique id and the subsequently PUT to that id. From a
straight curl perspective, it'd look like:

=20

Curl -v -X POST <my url>

=20

The response header would have a line:

=20

< Location: http://<my url>/files/<my id>

=20

So, I'd grab <my id>

=20

And do:

=20

Curl -v -X PUT http://<my url>/files/<my id> -T <file to put>

=20

Is there any way to do this?

=20

Another option would be to pre-create all the <my id>'s and have them
read from a file, but it seems that curl-loader only likes reading
username/password pairs from a file.

=20

Thanks for any info!

If you know C and willing to write a patch, I can guide you about what is
necessary to do for that.
