Data of the post/get request

Method Detail

{Object} send(block)

Send the request. This calles the 'curl' program. For further details, e.g. on the return value, see the corresponding man page.

Parameters:
{Boolean} block Optional, Default: true: This parameter specifies whether the pipe should be closed, which means that a blocking wait is performed until the 'mail' program returns, or the pipe will be closed automatically in the background when the 'curl' program has finished. Note, that if the calling program terminates, maybe this call will never succeed.

Returns:: {Object} An object with three properties is returned. 'cmd' contains the command issued 'data' contains the data returned from the server in case of success, some error string returned by curl otherwise. 'rc' is an integer and the return code of 'curl'
