As in title, it's for testing purpose and I need it to be extremely light (1 line to 1 single light file).

Here is a XML query sample:
XML_QUERY=$(cat <<EOF
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<Test></Test>
EOF
)
curl -H "Content-type: text/xml; charset=utf-8" -H "Soapaction: \"\"" -k -d "${XML_QUERY}" http://localhost:8088

Here are some of the tracks I have found so far even if I wasnt able to adapt them to work as I expect:

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: As it's been asked, I'm running Linux Redhat, even if the distro does not really matter and the OS implied since I'm asking a bash-based solution...

Also about my topic being on hold:

"Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve" => I though this was exactly what I was doing, but ok I'll reword:

  • My situation: bash environment (which can also include some standard linux tool: netcat, python or whatever)
  • My specific problem: please see title: Require a very simple bash-based webserver for logging XML in HTTP POST for testing purpose
