How to use CURL over SSH and get the file as well as the return value?
0
I want to load a file from a clients webserver. This webserver is running local only. To get there I have to use ssh. I need the content as well as the return value (e.g. SSH connection broke, webserver down).
What do I have to change? My first try:
#!/bin/bash
RETURN=0
CONTENT=""
sshpass -p xxxxxx ssh root@172.17.1.33 "curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:10000/status -H 'Content-Type: application/json' > $CONTENT | bash; RETURN=$?"
bash curl ssh

The exit status ofsshwill be the exit status ofcurlif that's the only command you run.sshpassdoesn't allow you to retrieve the exit status ofssh, which is another reason to set up public-key authentication instead of usingsshpass.

If you want to get the exit code of curl and the return value of curl:
#!/bin/bash
CONTENT=$(sshpass -p xxxxxx ssh root@172.17.1.33 "curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:10000/status -H 'Content-Type: application/json'")
RETURN=$?
echo "$RETURN, $CONTENT"
In your script you set the variables on the server you ssh'ed into.

Almost there. When I do this,$CONTENTshows a mixture in a single line of the multiline-output of the servers output. Why is that?

Whats the actual output and what do you expect the output to be?

8 lines of json output

Sounds like you forgot to put double quotes around"$CONTENT"or maybe the value contains DOS carriage returns.
