I am late to this thread  but I too had a similar requirement  Since my script was constructing the request for curl dynamically  I wanted a similar structure of the command across GET  POST and PUT    Here is what works for me  For PUT request   curl --request PUT --url http   localhost 8080 put --header  content-type  application x-www-form-urlencoded  --data  bar baz amp foo foo1    For POST request   curl --request POST --url http   localhost 8080 post --header  content-type  application x-www-form-urlencoded  --data  bar baz amp foo foo1    For GET request   curl --request GET --url  http   localhost 8080 get foo bar amp foz baz
