curl / http request

I am too dumb and there is too little documentation which is hard to find :).
So can anyone tell me how I do the following bash thingy in pharo?

curl $URL --data-binary $SOME_FILE -H 'Content-type:application/json'

I don't manage to get this working properly. I guess HTTPSocket is the class to use...

thanks a lot
camillo

Well, Zinc HTTP Components [1], of course:

| json entity |
json := (FileStream fileNamed: '/tmp/foo.json') contentsOfEntireFile.
entity := ZnEntity with: json type: ZnMimeType applicationJson.
ZnClient post: 'http://example.com/foo' data: entity

This will return a ZnResponse, inspect it for more details.
There are many more options, but this is a simple example to get you started.

The source code should be your friend.
