Passing variable into webified bash script about webify HOT 7 CLOSED

I tried with the following which worked:

demo.sh:

#!/bin/sh

set -x

VAR=`cat /dev/stdin`
echo $VAR

The set -x produces useful logs.

Another issue:
Assumes that demo.sh is on the same host as docker (usually not the case on macOS).

It seems the code pipes the http body to the script. So you have to use stdin instead of $1.
If that is good or the correct way, I am not sure.

Try the following in your bash script.

VAR="$(< /dev/stdin)"
echo $VAR

Thanks for the idea, I've updated my initial minimal demo with what I've tried. Didn't work yet.

Hi @mihaigalos, can you try using #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh?

Hi @beefsack, I've tried that before asking. Can you reproduce it?

@mihaigalos Good question why it did not work for you. It worked for me with stdin, but I did not used docker. I just ran it natively on my Mac.

Thank you @Grynn - confirmed working in docker with your changes!
