# Curl abstraction to help with POST requests to local pages (such as installation forms)
#
# $domain and $path_url should be defined externally (and correspond to the domain.tld and the /path (of the app?))
#
# example: ynh_local_curl "/install.php?installButton" "foo=$var1" "bar=$var2"
#
# usage: ynh_local_curl "page_uri" "key1=value1" "key2=value2" ...
# | arg: page_uri - Path (relative to $path_url) of the page where POST data will be sent
# | arg: key1=value1 - (Optionnal) POST key and corresponding value
# | arg: key2=value2 - (Optionnal) Another POST key and corresponding value
# | arg: ... - (Optionnal) More POST keys and values
ynh_local_curl () {
# Define url of page to curl
full_page_url=https://localhost$path_url$1
# Concatenate all other arguments with '&' to prepare POST data
POST_data=""
for arg in "${@:2}"
do
POST_data="${POST_data}${arg}&"
done
# (Remove the last character, which is an unecessary '&')

# Curl the URL
