> This is shit developer experience. Why bother with a Rube Goldberg sequence of piped commands when you can just curl?

If you are a developer tasked with working with web security related techniques, I would expect being able to use Bash, Curl, and anything needed to string together a couple of HTTP requests on the command line before your first cup of coffee of the day to be the least requirement of their skill set.

Additionally, the kind of developer who uses cURL is not, in my experience, the kind to shy away from using bash pipes or writing a quick bash alias or function to streamline that process if they have to do it more than a few times.
