Learn how to troubleshoot and resolve the "Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name" issue on Super User forum.
When you use curl to access a web page it is actually sending the GET request to the server. There are other kinds of request that can be used and -X is the way to specify this.

curl -v displays HTTP headers but not the complete request body. Learn about its limitations and alternatives for viewing full HTTP requests.
