How to Use the Curl Command in Powershell?

Use splatting.

$CurlArgument = '-u', ':yyyy',
                '-X', 'POST',
                '
                '--data', 'content=success'
$CURLEXE = 'C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin\curl.exe'
& $CURLEXE @CurlArgument

In Powershell 3.0 and above there is both a Invoke-WebRequest and Invoke-RestMethod. Curl is actually an alias of Invoke-WebRequest in PoSH. I think using native Powershell would be much more appropriate than curl, but it's up to you :).

Invoke-WebRequest MSDN docs are here:

Invoke-RestMethod MSDN docs are here:

Or another option you could just call curl.exe using splatting as follows.

> curl.exe '-u', ':yyyy',
 '-X', 'POST',
 '                
 '--data', 'content=success'

To know where is curl.exe using this command Get-Command curl.exe

Other option is to delete aliases curl command with Invoke-WebRequest

To see and delete aliaes in PowerShell

>Get-Aliases
>Remove-Item alias:curl

Then just runing command without '.exe'

> curl '-u', ':yyyy',
 '-X', 'POST',
 '                
 '--data', 'content=success'

I hope this would helps.

Instead of curl you can use this command:
