Frequently Asked Questions about cURL to Code Converter

Why does "Copy as cURL (cmd)" from Windows Chrome fail to parse properly?

Windows CMD escapes double quotes using caret characters (`^"`) and splits multiline strings with `^`, violating POSIX quoting rules. Always select "Copy as cURL (bash)" in DevTools so single-quoted ANSI-C strings (`$'...'`) parse cleanly.

How are `-d` and `--data-binary` payloads differentiated in JavaScript fetch?

Standard `-d` strips newline characters (`\r\n`) per cURL specification, whereas `--data-binary` preserves exact byte sequences. When JSON is detected in `-d`, the converter emits structured `JSON.stringify()` objects for readability.

Does the converter strip sensitive cookies or Authorization headers?

No, all `-H "Cookie: ..."` and `-b` flags are parsed 100% locally in your browser memory. Be sure to replace hardcoded Bearer tokens or session cookies with environment variables (`process.env.API_TOKEN`) before committing code.

How are repeated query parameters or `-G` (`--get`) flags handled?

When `-G` is present, all `-d` data arguments are serialized into URL query string parameters (`URLSearchParams`) and appended to the endpoint URL while forcing the HTTP method to `GET`.
