§ curl'ing a URL in TextMate
Ok, sorry, I can’t let all the BBEdit users think that they’ve discovered something new 😉
In case you’ve noticed the amazement lately on blogs and twitter where BBEdit users have discovered a way to open a curl’d url in BBEdit to view its source you may be wondering “how do I do this in TextMate”?
Well, its a little more code, but its also a little more powerful.
#!/usr/bin/env ruby -wKU
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/io.rb'
require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/current_word'
require 'open3'
require 'cgi'
theUri = Word.current_word('a-zA-Z0-9#\-_\.:;%/?&=@!$^\*\+', :both)
if theUri.include? '@'
auth, uri = theUri.split('@')
theCommand = "curl -s -u #{auth} \"#{uri}\""
else
theCommand = "curl -s \"#{theUri}\""
end
stdin, stdout, stderr = Open3.popen3(theCommand)
TextMate::IO.exhaust(:out => stdout, :err => stderr) do |data|
puts data.rstrip
end
So, add this as a command in your bundle and tell it to open a new document when its done. Assign it to a keyboard command (if you haven’t already assigned other items to every other keyboard combination under the sun like I have). From here you can simply highlight a URL in a document, trigger the command, and get the source of the url in a new document.
On top of that, if the url contains credentials a-la user:password@http://foo.com it’ll use the user:password portion to authenticate you against simple Apache 401 authentication.
I’ve been thinking that it would be nice to have this also check the clipboard if there’s nothing selected. But I haven’t gotten around to trying that yet.
This and a few more helpful commands can be found in my General TextMate Bundle on Github (also available through GetBundles).
Enjoy!
