Fileless cURL to Chromium
Sometimes (expecially during CTFs) I need to display the result of a REALLY specific HTTP request that I made with cURL into Chromium. The naive and boring way of doing this would be something like this: curl -s https://avalz.it > /tmp/page.html chromium /tmp/page.html rm /tmp/page.html For some reason, I got stubborn on not creating that temporary file, which led to the mess you can see below. TL;DR curl -s URL | base64 -w 0 | xargs -i chromium "data:text/html;base64,{}" Breakdown The biggest issue is that chromium can’t open files from stdin, but only from URLs passed as argument....
