PsUrl Utils

Set of commands to download from and post to the web

Features

1. Download content from any URL as a string
2. POST url encoded form to any URL
3. POST arbitrary requests to any URL

Examples

For example, to download stuff from http://example.com, execute

get-webcontent http://example.com

You can also use pipes

get-webcontent http://example.com | set-content example.html

Using pipes actually allows running scripts directly from the web

get-webcontent https://gist.github.com/raw/909561/hello_world.ps1 | invoke-expression

And of course, you can POST content

send-webcontent "http://example.com" -Data @{"Foo" = "Bar"}

Installation

If you have PsGet installed, you can execute:

install-module PsUrl

which should output something like this:

"C:\Users\[User]\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules" is added to the PSModulePath environment variable
Module PsUrl was successfully installed.

Alternatively, here are the manual steps:

1. Copy PsUrl.psm1 to your modules folder (e.g. $Env:PSModulePath\PsUrl\ )
2. Execute Import-Module PsUrl (or add this command to your profile)
3. Enjoy!
