HTTPS
The https driver downloads a resource over HTTPS, detects its format, and opens it with the
matching data driver.
URL format
https://<host>[:<port>]/<path>[?_headers=<headers>]
Options
| Option | Behavior / default |
|---|---|
_headers | Semicolon-separated name=value request headers, percent-encoded as one query value. For example, Accept%3Dapplication%2Fjson. |
Other query parameters | Used as request query parameters and headers, and forwarded to the detected data driver. |
Examples
rsql --url 'https://example.com/people.csv' -- 'SELECT * FROM people LIMIT 10;'
rsql --url 'https://example.com/people.json?_headers=Accept%3Dapplication%2Fjson'
Usage notes
The response content type and filename select the data driver, which must be enabled. The resource
is downloaded into a temporary directory. Use .tables to inspect the imported tables and the
request/response header tables.
Query options, including expanded _headers values, are also included in the outgoing request URL.
Avoid placing secret header values in this URL. Format options are described on the corresponding
driver page, such as JSON.
