## What it does

Parse a curl command locally, show the HTTP method, URL, headers and body it contains, then rebuild a cleaner command. It is split from the HTTP Request Tester so command conversion does not clutter the actual request/response UI.

## Use the tool

Open https://ilham.dev/tools/curl-tester/, add the input the tool asks for, run it, and check the output before using it elsewhere.

## Input and output

- Input: text.
- Output: text.
- Category: Network.

## Privacy and processing
Processing happens locally in your browser. This tool does not upload the input to ilham.dev.

## Questions

### Does this send the request?

No. It only parses and rebuilds curl. Use the HTTP Request Tester when you want the browser to send a request.
