How can I make a request with both GET and POST parameters?

Question

Here's an excerpt from Live HTTP headers, I've replaced several values for anonymity.

POST blah/admin.php?module_id=1&action=update&id=129&pageNum=17&&eid=362 HTTP/1.1  Host: blah  User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101027 Firefox/3.6.12  Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8  Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5  Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate  Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7  Keep-Alive: 115  Connection: keep-alive  Referer: blah  Cookie: blah  Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=---------------------------21278813472729408841849703914  Content-Length: 5110  -----------------------------21278813472729408841849703914  Content-Disposition: form-data; name="MAX_FILE_SIZE"    300000000 

This request has both GET and POST values. The script on the other end of this is PHP and expects certain values to be in the GET and others to be in the POST.

I know how to issue a GET

curl -G -d "key=val" "http://yadayadayada" 

And I understand how to do a POST

curl -d "key=val" "http://yadayadayada" curl -F "key=val" "http://yadayadayada" 

But how do I mix the two in a single request? Every attempt I've made so far has ended in an error.

Answer 1

GET variables can be included in the URL. You just include the GET variables in the query string. For example, if you wanted to send a GET request with "username=fred" to www.example.com/index.php, you would send a simple GET request to "http://www.example.com/index.php?username=fred". So to answer your question, just use the POST method, but have the URL contain your GET data.
