Alternative to "--include" For Response Headers?

[Kent Searight]

I'm trying to get a token from an authorization server using cURL in Insert From URL. When I make the following request in Terminal

curl -i -X POST -d 'username=myaccountname&password=mypassword' https://authserver.com/login

I get the token back in the response header.

Since FileMaker doesn't support the --include (-i) option I haven't been able to figure out how to get the response header with the token.  Anyone have any ideas on how to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance!

UPDATE:

Okay, I figured out I can get a response header by using the option --dump-header and setting it to a variable. The only problem now is that the token comes from a redirect location and I'm only getting the response header from the original URL. I'll keep working on it but I'll be happy to get whatever advice anyone can offer in the meantime.

Never mind. I got it to work with the following cURL options.

-L -d 'username=myaccountname&password=mypassword' --cookie-jar $cookies

I'm curious though if anyone knows why FMI chose not to support the --include option.

How did you get response header with dump-header?

Turned out I didn't need the headers. The result of --cookie-jar was all I needed. But if I'd wanted the headers too all I'd need to do is follow that option with a variable and it would write to that. Example: --dump-header $myVariable.
