I think they're point is that curl is great but then you have to have a way to render it to know if it's correct. With apis you can use jq, but yeah a dump of html isn't really useful to humans

Yeah but we're talking about API tools, not web browsers. People are using postman to see JSON, XML, or whatever horrible format the devs on the other side chose to use, not to render HTML graphically. If you query an HTML page using curl, you should get the HTML back, I don't see what's the problem

Oh. Fair enough. The intent for curl is definitely to display the HTML as it's whole point.

Anyways.

curl -L -o "/tmp/your.html" https://justuse.org/curl && librewolf "/tmp/your.html"

librewolf is overkill I was expecting to hear something like links2

[–] RustyNova@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah, but It's more that you probably already have a browser open, so it's better to just reuse the resources

Also, just replace it with your favourite browser. It should also just work

I tried the suggestion and saw that the original complaint persisted.

I didn't think anything to be honest.
