Send data using http POST from client and receive response from server using netcat over specific port

We create a server using netcat command which listens on 8909 port as below, This server responds with HTTP OK once it receives a request from client. Along with sending HTTP OK, this server also executes get-cmdline.sh script to get the Linux boot command line by reading proc filesystem file /proc/cmdline and sends it to the client.

$ vim nc_response.sh

#!/bin/bash
while true;
        do {
                echo -e 'HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n'; sh get-cmdline.sh;
        } | nc -l 8909;
         done

$ vim get-cmdline.sh

#!/bin/bash
echo "This is response from nc with http OK"
echo "\n"
echo "Cmdline is :"
cat /proc/cmdline
echo "\n"

Now, start listening on socket as,

$ bash nc_response.sh

Now, on client/application side, lets write a curl POST as,

$ vim curl-xml-post.sh

curl -k \
        -H "Content-Type:text/xml; charset=UTF-8" \
        -X POST \
        -d '<xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                <address>
                  <name>Myname</name>
                  <apartment>Myapartment</apartment>
                  <city>Mycity</city>
                  <pincode>12345678</pincode>
        </address>' http://localhost:8909 -v

Now, start the client as,

$ bash curl-xml-post.sh

And you will get the response as,

$ bash curl-xml.sh 
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, POST is already inferred.
