Yuri
Hi! I'm Yori.
I was Ed's lost intern back in 2015, but I was found!
Think you can check out this terminal for me? I need to use cURL to access the gift tracker system, but it has me stumped.
Please see what you can do!
Hints¶
Web Requests without a Browser??
Since we don't have a web browser to connect to this HTTP service...There is another common tool that you can use from the cli.
Who is Netstat?
Back in my day...we just used Netstat. I hear ss is the new kid on the block. A lot of the parameters are the same too...such as listing only the ports that are currenting LISTENING on the system.
