The curl installed by default in Debian supports HTTPS since a great while back   a long time ago there were two separate packages  one with and one without SSL but that s not the case anymore   OPTIONS  path  You can send an OPTIONS request with curl like this   curl -i -X OPTIONS http   example org path   You may also use -v instead of -i to see more output   OPTIONS    To send a plain    instead of the path  see RFC 7231  with the OPTIONS method  you need curl 7 55 0 or later as then you can run a command line like   curl -i --request-target     -X OPTIONS http   example org
