# Making HTTP requests from the console A HTTP request can be made by using `curl`: ``` curl https://my-url.example.com ``` It can be saved in a file with: ``` curl https://my-url.example.com > my-file.html ``` Headers can be added to the request with the `-H` flag. For example a truncated version starting from byte 123 and ending on byte 456 can be received by running: ``` curl -H "Range: bytes=123-456" https://my-url.example.com ```
