Running curl on current buffer inside vim

How do i run the curl command on either a marked url in visual mode or on the complete buffer.

For example:

Lets says that you have 1 row in the current buffer with:

https://example.com/

I have tried:

[1]    :r !curl -kv
[2]    :r !curl -kv .

returns:

[1]     curl: no URL specified!
        curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information

[2]     curl: (6) Could not resolve host: .
Solution

  • Instead of . you can insert the buffer using Crtl-R ".

    (And other register can be inserted similarly. You can list the registers before like :registers if you want.)
