Trigger xDebug in PhpStorm when calling using CURL

Question

so I use CURL from the command line to make calls to my PHP website:

curl -s "url" 

My question is...is it possible to modify this command so that I can trigger xDebug (combined with an IDE (I use Jetbrains PHPStorm)) when calling the site from CURL

perhaps manipulate the GET variables?

Answer 1

The following code works for me

curl -i -X POST -d '{"some":"data"}' http://your-local-domain -b XDEBUG_SESSION=PHPSTORM 

Answer 2

I was still having trouble until I added path=/ to the cookie in addition to wyxa's answer.

curl --cookie "XDEBUG_SESSION=PHPSTORM;path=/;" localhost
