TA-WebTools - Syntax question

I have reviewed the curl command syntax in the details section of the Add-on download page but was not able to discern how pass the following to the "| curl" command

1) How can I pass the equivalent of:   '-k" or "--insecure'  ?
2) How do I pass 2 headers in the same command line ? 
From the LINUX prompt, my command looks like this: 
 
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "UUID: e42eed31-65bb-4283-ad05-33f18da75513" -k "https://abc.com/X1"  -d "{ lots of data }"

Hi Joe,

yes, you can download the app, patch it and upload it as a private app.

Cheers,

Andreas

Hi Joe,

there is a command documentation in default/searchbnf.conf

[curl-command]
syntax = CURL [choice:URI=<uri> OR URIFIELD=<urifield>] [optional: METHOD=<GET|PATCH|POST|PUT|DELETE> VERIFYSSL=<TRUE|FALSE> DATAFIELD=<field_name> DATA=<data> HEADERFIELD=<json_header_field_name> HEADERS=<json_header> USER=<user> PASS=<password> DEBUG=<true|false> SPLUNKAUTH=<true|false> SPLUNKPASSWDNAME=<username_in_passwordsconf> SPLUNKPASSWDCONTEXT=<appcontext (optional)> TIMEOUT=<float>]

-k = "VERIFYSSL=FALSE"
headers="{\"content-type\":\"application/json\"}"

best regards,

Andreas

Andreas, thank for the quick response.  

Unfortunately, I am using Splunk Cloud, and I see in your "curl.py" file that VERIFYSSL is "Forced to be True for Splunk Cloud Compatibility".

So, while "curl -k" works from the LINUX command line on my Splunk server,  in Splunk SPL the "| curl verifyssl=false" is overridden in the add-on's python code.

Is there any way to override ??? If not, I will have to find another way to do this, as I am constrained by my environment.
