protocurl -I . -i ..ARequest -o ..AResponse -u localhost:9443/send -d @payload.json

Hi @Ishmeet ,

protocurl currently doesn't support that. It currently only accepts the payload as a cmd-arg string.

In shells you can instead use this to pipe the contents of a file into the cmd-arg string.

protocurl -d "$(cat payload.json)" <remaining args ...>

However, would you think, that having the curl-like cmd-arg via -d @<filepath> would be a good user improvement?

If so, we can extend protocurl to cover this.

@GollyTicker ,
Yes definitely, it will be good improvement to add -d @<filepath>.

@Ishmeet . Ok

Unfortunately, I have not much time atm and in near future.

Can you perhaps add it yourself? You'll have it much earlier then.

What do you think? The repository is well documented. Nevertheless, if you have questions you can ask.
