Some cURL links with tips I used doing some Fritz!Box scripting research
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/09/29
I needed to script a few things on my Fritz!Box. Here are the cURL links that I used to research some Fritz!Box scripting.
My first try was wget, but that didn’t do everything I need, so cURL came to the rescue.
In the end, I didn’t need cookies (a post request with an MD5 based handshake sufficed to get a session SID which is not stored in a Cookie), but that surely will come in useful another time.
