Comment on $ cat ~/myfile | curl -X PUT --upload-file “-” https://transfer.sh/myfile.txt

Comments

FYI The "-X PUT" argument is not doing what you think it is[1], and is superfluous since you're using "--upload-file".

You almost never really want "-X".

[1]: https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-X

Just to clarify your point, --upload-file with a trailing slash results in a POST and without a trailing slash it results in a PUT.

Right. -X overrides this default behavior without otherwise affecting the semantics of the request.
